I shall call myself franklen

Hello ATS.I honestly do not know why I picked the username franklen, because frankly it does not matter. See what I did there?... I did have an account here years ago. 10,15, IDK.. time passes differently as you move from youth, to adult to middle age to where I am approaching senior citizen. I do not feel like a senior but pretty sure I can get the senior discount on a cup of coffee at McDonalds.

I love cryptozoology, I love going down rabbit holes like the Clinton kill list... I do not believe all of it, but is a fun dive.

I do know after watching this website it has become very political leaning to the right wing. I am not right wing.

Growing up we did not have the for profit 24/7 "news" you kids have today,

And being how this page has become so political I probably will jump in from time to time when I see the Hypocrisy that lead me to making a new account
Any who.. that is my intro, I would rather talk about aliens and conspiracies.

I would enjoy talking about this "ATS becoming political leaning to the right wing" claim.

Here or in your first thread.

Welcome.

well after losing my log in years ago, and just observing, I tend to find that the majority of political posts here are anti democrat, pro trump
would you dispute that?

and thank you for the welcome

a reply to: franklen

No, but you said right wing political leaning.

Welcome!
There are still a fair amount of intriguing non-political topics popping up often, I tend to stick to the UFO/Aircraft/Science topics, although the politics can be entertaining from time to time. There are a few non-righters around too, some quite brave.

Anyway, glad to have you in the nut house with us. Make yourself at home.

A description of what you mean would suffice. Facts, talking points, perspective etc.

a reply to: franklen

Welcome and chances are you will have to make a new account, so what will your next username be?

a reply to: Wide-Eyes

You mentioned it in your opening post, because the hypocrisy will make you create a new account.

a reply to: JinMI

No, but you said right wing political leaning.

It is possible I have missed many posts celebrating democrats.

Only a masochist would be pro-Dem.

Welcome...

"Leaning to the rightwing" is being kind. imo....more like a Qcult whine festival. That's what makes it so much fun!!!

Welcome back to ATS

AS you can see by many of the comments,

"Right wing" is a trigger word for some. You'll find that this 'reactive' state is the lapsing edge of a waterline that rises and falls like a tide... For some it is almost exclusively driven by what the "news" cycle focuses on - as it manifests itself in our sphere of awareness. For others is a reaction to that reaction. Political drama is sooo 20th century. (No offense intended to members here.)

To be honest, my personal programming led me, upon seeing the member name you crafted, to think immediate of "Hi, I'm AL..." of Saturday Night Live fame.

We're looking forward to your contributions on the forums.
