What's the word "moderator" mean to you?? You seem too slant to one side to be moderate (lest, moderat-er...) at all....

Pablo,

Let's get one thing straight: this notion of "No King is weak and here's why.

When President Trump learned that France and other Allied nations were celebrating a milestone from World War II, he didn't shrug it off he saw it as an opportunity. An opportunity to remind Americans of our strength, our sacrifice, and our shared legacy. After all, the United States Army just turned 250 years old. That is no small milestone it deserves to be honored.

It also happened to be Flag Day. Every year, June 14th is a day to reflect on what our flag stands for: unity, freedom, and sacrifice. And instead of draping the White House in pastel colors to virtue signal for the LGBTQ+ agenda, this year it was lit in Red, White, and Blue the colors of our flag, representing all Americans.

I'm an American. I've watched, read, and listened as post after post bashes my country, mocks MAGA, and tosses cheap shots under the guise of political discussion.

What I'm seeing now festers like a virus loud slogans, recycled anger, and false narratives masked as truth. And then we have these so-called movements
- No King, among others growing in the minds of those more interested in tearing down than building up.
These aren't flags of unity; they're banners of bitterness.

Now let's talk about that word moderator.

You seem to believe I'm too slanted to the right to be effective.
That's your opinion, and you're welcome to it.
But let me inform you on what the word moderator means to me.

A moderator doesn't hide in the shadows or float in the middle like a ghost.
A moderator has the backbone to draw the line between passionate discussion and destructive chaos. I don't come here to silence opinions I come to defend the space where real voices can be heard. Conservative, liberal, centrist it makes no difference, as long as it's respectful, reasoned, and within bounds.

What makes me the perfect choice? It's simple: I don't waiver. I stand firm, rooted in American values, grounded in principle. I won't bow to groupthink, and I won't allow this echo to rot into a one-sided dumpster fire of empty slogans and anti-American venom.

I don't moderate from fear I moderate from resolve.

The No King movement? It's a distraction, fueled by those who speak before they understand, shout before they serve, and cling to slogans instead of solutions.

Meanwhile, the previous administration and the Democratic Party welcomed at minimum of 20 million illegal immigrants into MY country.
That's not compassion. That's chaos. Donald Trump is restoring law and order. And yes, he's removing those who entered illegally.
That's not cruelty it's sovereignty.

I, along with my President and my Conservative Brothers and Sisters, have no issue with legal immigration. America has always welcomed those who come here the right way, through the front door not by sneaking through the back.

Speak your truth, but know that I'll speak mine.
Loudly. Proudly. American.

Gregory

And there's the reason Pablo doesn't like moderation.

I never said I don't like moderation. It's jsut that the way I see the meaning of "moderator" should be someone encouraging others to speak up, even if they want to lie, ridicule, mislead, undermine, all sorts of seweage-level use of discourse, and also encourage others to rebate, proof, demonstrate, enlight, clear up, etc etc, you get the idea. The idea behind "a moderator" is not someone who they themselves (I know, I'm teasing you...), "firmly" stamp in their own views, but that encourage, ensure and enforce others' ability to do so.
They don't need to lie, to hide away or to stand back and not participate, but the main point of a moderator is not to say what they want, they already could do that be them moderators or someone else.
There's power in words. You say: I *AM* MODERATOR... and think this particular way... that may *discourage* (key word here, in this line of thought...) others from speaking up.
One might get the idea that this is the *slaaaaightly* slant to the right Echo.... you can say what you want, but it'd be a neat detail to always make sure that whoever disagrees with you is encouraged to speak up too, and not go around calling the opposition or the previous government deranged lounatics that want to tear the White House down and such..
Just saying...
