Neil Boortz: America is becoming a police state

[mburbank]

It is, and I responded fairly thoughtfully. However, as a politics board it's still part of I-mockery. You can take the politics out of I-mockery, but you can't take the mockery of the politics forum.

And if it hsn't dawned on you, humor, sarcasm, Mockery, etc. are very effective tools for political analysis. You can't always expect the conversation to go where you want it.

Chimps point, as I see it, is that Boortz's opinion hold disproportional sway over a certain segment of the population as represented by you, Vinth. You may not agree, or feel it is a particularly germaine comment , but you can hardly deny it's political.
