The president, not unreasonably, wishes for an era of good feeling in Washington. But those are pipe dreams. At some point, the president has to realize that wishes don't come true in DC. He has to fight. And he has start now. By being willing to go over the cliff.
I used to read Progressive Pulse several times a day, and comment often. Then Frank showed up, after having been banned from BlueNC. At first his inane ramblings were familiar and amusing. Then just familiar. And now, I'm sorry to say, they are intolerable.
Sorry, guys.I know you have to permit all voices, as well you should. Just know that many people will put up with only so much ignorance before they move on.
A friend admonished me recently, saying that it was important to try to understand how the other side thinks. That may be true, but I am sad to say ... it is simply too painful. It destroys my faith in the possibility of human enlightenment.
Among all the regular readers, you are the person I depend on most to keep me honest and uncompromising. I still make plenty of screw-ups, but it's really important to have a reliable watchdog on the job.
BlueNC is dedicated to making North Carolina a more progressive and prosperous state. If your intention is to disrupt this effort, please find somewhere else to express your opinions.

Sheesh ... it's taken every ounce of resolve to make it this long.

Seriously, thank goodness for Steve Harrison for coming to the rescue!
I think you've got that backwards
Being part of the BlueNC family, and being given a platform to air my often tedious opinions, is a blessing that not many people are given.
Thank you, sir, and thank you to all of our readers.

The metrics for a niche site run on such a relative shoestring are impressive.
