Conservatism is calling

[southernstar]

Not that this discussion has a direct bearing on me, as I am a resident of Canada, but doesn't anyone else think that attacks - especially ones that are not good-natured - on the political views/voting choices of others isn't really suited to this site? Jokes, maybe. But there are tons of sites where people can espouse their political views, engage in lively political debate, or just commiserate with others who feel that we are on the wrong path.

This site is dedicated to a common appreciation of a great automobile. I suspect that many enjoy their time here, not only because of the helpful advice and comradery, but precisely because it takes them away from the hassles of politics, the economy and our day to day lives.
For those who are depressed or angry over the election results, may I suggest taking your incredible car out for a fun drive in order to put a smile back on your face. And for the those who are celebrating the result, the same thing in order to keep smiling.

Once again, cheers people!

The Zuffenhausen Lounge as indicated is not for the faint of heart. And, it's traditionally been a place to rant about things outside of boxsters. Especially topics that are politically motivated.

yup. it would have been better played to say something like ...

geez JD, when you wrote

After yesterday's Presidential election results it's clear that we are no longer a country of "euro-centric" peoples, who represent rational thought and ideals - be it conservative, moderate, or liberal thinking. Rather we've become a nation that consists of radical counter-culture types, phony celebrity idealists and groups of minority extremists who have no ambition to rise up and become responsible, productive members of society.

i thought you were describing yourself, mel gibson and your tea party allies!
