[QUOTE="brett636, post: 326973, member: 249"] I have been a member of this board for some time now, and I have never known any moderator to randomly delete a post that did not deserve to be deleted. Cheryl owns and operates this website with a high degree of respect for others opinions, and would not allow anyone to moderate her web forum if they were prone to randomly deleting posts they politically disagree with. Either you are lying about making a post that has been deleted, or you are lying about the content of the deleted post(if it existed), or your own computer malfunctioned somehow when you went to post it and the post never made it to the forum in the first place. You are not the first person to post far left rhetoric here, and you won't be the last. You are right that the republicans failed us when it came to fiscal responsibility, and we will have to account for this sometime in the future. Its the main reason the republicans lost control of Congress in 06, but the cost of this war is a drop in the bucket when compared to the social entitlement program promises made by prior administrations. Social Security and medicare have a whopping $53 trillion in future promised benefits over the next 40 years. We can eliminate all government waste and the military and we will still not have enough resources to pay off this huge sum of money. I am 25 years old and I will never benefit from these programs, but I will be stuck with paying the bill. [URL="http://www.gao.gov/cghome/d08501cg.pdf"]Source[/URL] This I am in agreement with you.
