"Some of you might like this and some might not. There is getting to be too much political commenting and it is detracting from what this web site is about. We all have different political views and that is every Americans right but this web site is about cars and a nice place to get away from the world of politics. Starting now, any political posts will be deleted. Please understand that even though what you post might be approved by others in your thread, there are many other readers that are distancing themselves from the threads and site because of the political banter. One goal of this site is to bring us lovers of Supercars together, not get us into political arguments."

Tom, just for clarification, does this ban on political postings include posts about government health care and illegal aliens--two highly political subjects? If so then those threads need to be deleted as well.

I am all for going back to talking about cars.

I really admire those who were long winded and took the time to share and explain thier opinions and beliefs. I certainly would not have been able to hear calm, clear conversation with any of my family, friends or business associates regarding opposing political views.

Do jokes about politicians count as political posts? ...just kidding.

What about posts explaining that we are now deleting political posts? Shouldn't this entire post be deleted due to its inclusion of the "forbidden fruit" of the "P-word?" How's that for a Catch 22?

Depends on what your definition of "it" is....

The United States of America is the greatest on going experiment in Democracy in the history of modern man. While issues like abortion, separation of church and state,the unjustness of unbridled capitalism, and the golden chains of generational welfare, divide us, we are all Americans. It would be my hope, that we, as a nation, could find common ground, through tolerance, and impartial rational. That decency, dignity, self respect, and respect for others, be the bond that holds us together.
Shut off Rush. Shut off air America. Find your own way.
We've been in tough spots before, and have persevered. We will again. Together. God bless our troops in harms way, and help us, find our way.

I applaud the decision. There are enough negative forces trying to ruin our hobby. This site is supposed to bring us together to dicuss common interests. Why let political disagreements tear us apart.
