re: #73 Charles

Charles,

I thought about sending you an email directly, but thought I would put this out there in case anyone else had something to say about it, karma rating be damned. I don’t think I am posting anything that would merit being banned, but this is your ship and you are at the helm. I understand the risk I am taking by posting this.

You can tell a lot about someone by the topics they continue to talk about. And I have to admit that I was more than a little happy to read your reasons for parting with the right. But what I am having problems reconciling is that you seem willing to jump into bed with the left, or at the very minimum have lost all desire to also be critical of them.

For someone who made their name by calling out the mainstream media, you sure seem willing to be toeing the party line as of late. And again, this is what I deduce not only by what you say but also by what you don’t say.

I will grant that you still have strong feelings about Israel and the religion of peace. You have been consistent about that. I also see that you are very passionate about other topics, such as global warming and anti-white supremacy. More power to you. No love lost there.

But I see this incredibly high concentration of posts regarding rand paul, palin, GOPers, topics highly critical of mostly conservatives, even Tea Partiers … and sometimes I feel like I am reading HuffPost or Kos or DU when I come here. I do read those sites as well, because I like a balance of news. I think that the only way to find the truth is to read from different perspectives and sift out the facts for yourself.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I find myself changing the column under which I now sort LGF. And this is your site, your baby - who am I to take it away from you. I am glad you are not aligned to the right. But Charles, did you really have to move so far to the left? Do you not recognize that they are two heads of the same beast?

To those who respond, please don’t be a hater.
