141. Well, being banned from the BOG simply means you are being discriminated against

Thu Jun 26, 2014, 02:31 AM

Jun 2014

by close minded people who are idolizing a person rather than practicing critical thinking and being open to hearing facts.

You don't even have to really criticize Obama to be banned from there. It's an extremely immature and simplistic mentality that exists in there, as evidenced by the rampant banning of people for no good reason other than speaking the truth.

Banishment or nonbanishment from the BOG has NOTHING to do with standing up for women. It has EVERYTHING to do with those who take any and all criticism of Obama personally and emotionally and therefore do what is the same as sticking one's fingers in one's ears and saying "la la la la la la la.... I can't hear you", except it's actually even worse than that considering it is actually not allowing the person to post their opinion on a board that is supposed to be about discussion.

It is truly amazing to behold.
