The problem with your thesis is that indeed, the websites that you refer to actually are backed with facts - and many more than you are prepared to refute. However, your delusional mindset - to you - renders the truth irrelevant.

FC, no further comments on the Soapbox and it's lack of "color " for a better term?

It has quieted down as of late. Could this not be due to ineptitude & corruption in the highest level of gov't has jaded many of us here so as to inure or deaden us to the ever worsening decisions made by our foriegn policy executores

The soapbox has an interesting side to it for me in that certain subjects that are totally European are discussed. I learn things that would be impossible to learn otherwise.

Agreed. I knew virtually nothing of the ongoing isaraeli/palestinian conflict.

Hamas was voted into office. Also, remember Ohio

The liberals in America seem to have an "frustrated elitist" attitde and usually are not from a working class. The European liberals seem to be a realistic political party where the liberals in America have little political power,and what they have is contained in a few spots in America.
The soapbox can be improved.

I like "Limousine-Liberals", myself

I have posted only @ 5 times in the last month but I do lurk to see if there is anything worth responding to.
