O/R's political coverage is definitely way too liberal. We need more conservative views around here! And more cowbell! :p
Also the news section doesn't have nearly enough stories with the word "penis" in them. ;)
I should certainly hope so.
And in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope! :thumb:Quote:

O/R is but a canvas, its members are the artists.
Hope is simply an excuse for laziness. Going out and doing will out do hoping any day of the week.;)Quote:

Always good to hear how the other side thinks. :D Not that that makes it real. :biggrin1:
I would have chose Realistically, Conservatively Fair and Balanced, since that was not an option I chose Fair and Balanced.
There is definately a very conservative viewpoint on O/R. It has certainly eased up a little, as I remember when those gutsy enough to present a liberal point of view were practically crucified in the forums!
By nature of the job, I believe its fair to say that most police officers believe in personal responsibility. The concept of personal responsibility is a core value of conservatism. While certainly not all law enforcement officers are wholly conservatives, it can be said that some conservative values are inherent in at least the majority of those who choose such a profession. It would be absolutely counter-productive for a law enforcement officer to 'blame society' when it is one of their primary functions to serve justice on an individual, case-by-case basis. Liberalism tends to minimize the responsibility of the individual, opting to emphasize the ills of society, and their impact on the individual.Quote:

And she is such a good sport (penis) that it doesn't really count.
