Started a new thread. We were co-mingling subjects which is completely my fault.

I think AD has a stuttering problem... 
There is way too much partisan hatred on this site. How is anyone ever going to get anything done if there is such contempt from each side towards the other? There needs to be middle ground folks.
On this site? How about across the nation? There is no middle ground. Liberals went hard left. Many republican politicians were limp-wristed and effectively were the middle. Trump and many here have taken a strong stance for the Conservative side. I don't see a negotiation position, one side will win and one side will lose.
Brent, I challenge you, go back 200 years, and tell me what the positions of the 'left' and 'right' were back then. And compare it to today. Which party has gone off the deep end? My challenge stands.
I still say the far extreme on both sides are bad for the whole.
Brent,
You completely missed my point. The radical left is the group that has gone off the reservation. The 'far right' is about where the conservative side has been for 240 years.
Never in history had we had a party so wacked out. Well, I suppose we had the Communist party a few years back, but were they far from the current democrats?

Sorry Brent, but there can't be any middle ground when we're talking about our rights, freedom, liberties and most importantly our Constitution. The Left will never, and have never, given any ground to the conservative side. The spinless wimps in the Republican party have always given in to the Leftist Democrats in a false attempt at "working" together. That's why we're in the mess that we're in today. That and the ignorant voters who all want something for nothing and keep electing the Leftist Democrats and squishy Republicans.
I wonder what the reaction would have been if a Republican had called Obuma names like the Democrats are doing? The media would have gone crazy.

I would like to have the reactions of the media when Congressman Wilson said "you lie" at the SOTU. The media went bats. Now you call him a MRFer and it ok. That has to be archived and the Rs need it to thrown in the Ls faces

I like the idea of building my own safe space. Complete with a wet bar and a brass pole....

You going to be on the pole? I hear they are great exercise.
I would like one of those huge tether bands that is suspended. Looks fun.
I am having a bad visual of AD, sliding around on the brass pole. Going to be a rough night sleeping. Nightmares.
It's all done in love! Get a cell phone booster, I think they're $350 and make a world of difference in signal strength in the house.

I plan on getting a booster as soon as the house is finished. Plus we'll get satellite internet. Just what we need; more mindless entertainment.

Hunny been thinking about switching to Hughesnet. Do you have many problems when it rains, just like satellite tv?

That's a good question. I have to keep a ladder under my TV dish so I can brush the snow off. Now the snow has built up high enough on the roof that its covered the dish. I don't mind sweeping the dish off too much but I don't like going out at night to shovel the roof off.

Actually no. The squirrels ate the wires this year and cut service. The Directv isn't that bad either. The HD tv's in the house are more prone to outage than the others. Even the HD tv don't go out u less it's a total washout or snow which rarely happens.

My Hughes net dish is on the garage and have never had to crawl up there to fix snow.
My Directv dish is on the deck and only 4 feet off the ground so that's not a problem getting the one snow per year we get

How so?

I've has Hughes net for over 20 years. No problems. Is my husband downloads lots of stuff for his jazz show, it will slow a little, but not much and no problem.

I really like Hughes net and will keep it. If you download lots, it will slow a little, but not really noticable.
If you download in Middleboro night it doesn't count so you can do all you want. We have never gone over the LAN limits.
