A number of posters, or, likely, one poster, a number of times, has called on the Uncle to close up shop until after the election. He has gone so far as to claim that to do so would honor those who have fought to protect us.
The soldiers who took up arms (and too often laid down their lives) for this country did so to defend the people’s right to have these debates. It is no honor to them to seek to silence the voices we despise.
The best answer to lies and smears is truth, not censorship.
What drew me to this country was its ability to withstand lively, even ugly, debate without it leading to mobs in the plazas. I have seen enough of those.
I would hope that you are wise enough to tell baseless slander from supported fact. I would hope that you care enough about your community and your homes to decide your votes on something more tangible than anonymous accusations.
What appears here should never be the end of a search for truth, but, at best, a start. If you read something here that interests or disturbs you, make the effort to go find out more.
If you have questions, post them. If the answers don’t satisfy, look further.
But silence is never the answer.

You say "If you have questions, post them. If the answers don’t satisfy, look further."
Yet when answers or facts are posted, no matter how 100% true they are, if YOU don't like them dear Uncle, you either make them go away (post removed by blog admin) or you beat up the poster. You talk out both sides of your mouth. So keep talking about the Freedoms of America, while using your own brand of censorship-hypocrit!
Ah me, yet again, incomprehension.
Posts are only removed if they are actionable accusations of crimes (i.e. libel) or they are on a specific thread in violation of the rules of that thread (such as "A Bizarre Suggestion").
As to beating up on the poster, sure thing, just as the poster has the right to beat up on the Uncle, you whiney little snot.
Unfortunately, it is leading to mobs in Woodbury.
You are most fortunate that you have never seen a true mob. It is a deadly and a mindless beast.
Hey Uncle Betty (know it all asshole) who was the model for the picture of Uncle sam you posted!
Wow, Swiller/Uncle you are a douchebag after all!
Douchebag!!!!
Quod erat demonstrandum
I'm just amused some people can't clear rules on that thread. If you can't take the time to read, you've go no right to complain when your censored or expect us to care what you say!
Again Swiller / Uncle you are a douchebag!!
Ah yes, the last resort of the intellectually challanged:
douchebag!
I thought that was the last refuge of the vaginally irritated
