There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Gentlemen, this thread is about the current President of the United States of America's birthday. If you can't be civil with your BD wishes, I suggest you keep them to yourself.[/QUOTE
the birthday is about the man, not the office he holds so why have to be civil?

If he were any ordinary man, you and I would just wish him happy birthday. As boxcar said, it is the civil and polite thing to do.
However, he is not an ordinary man. He happens to be the President. Presidents by nature, will normally piss off about one half of the country with every statement, remark, or action they do. They can't help it, that is what presidents do.
So, his birthday becomes an opportunity to express our feelings on the job he is doing and not the civil, polite Happy Birthday, I mentioned earlier. Being he is President, about one half of us (probably more, seeing as how most of us are fairly conservative) will be inclinded to add an editorial comment to our Happy Birthday.
Soooo, as I said above: Gentlemen, this thread is about the current President of the United States of America's birthday. If you can't be civil with your BD wishes, I suggest you keep them to yourself.
if i believed about any other human being what i believe about him, i would have no fond birthday wishes for that person. oh, i have birthday wishes for him, but they're not fond. when you think of those we think of as the founders of our country, imagine what they might think of him.
