Welcome to the new America

America is now a center-left nation, reflected by the majority of voters in the Nov. 6 election

The majority of American voters, led by overwhelming majorities among single women, Latinos, Blacks and college age people, voted to re-elect President Obama on Nov. 6 which means these same people were voting for all of the aspects of Obamacare, including taxypayer funding of abortion at any time up to and including seconds after birth. We are now officially a pro-abortion on demand at any time nation. I am not saying this; the American voters, or at least a majority of them, said so on Nov. 6 through their vote for President Obama. The voters, in their support of President Obama's re-election, also gave approval to higher taxes, greater government influence (control) on our lives and personal decisions, reduced coal and oil exploration (on government land when it comes to oil and natural gas and every where when it comes to coal), a reduced American influence in world affairs, an increased United Nations influence on American soil and pretty much all of the liberal/progressive political agenda. In four years, the Chicago political machine, who orchestrated Barrack Obama's two successful elections, will send another Chicago politician to the White House -- Hillary Clinton. Welcome to the new America.

Hi Rosie... I will ask about the weather bug! Thanks for the comment :)

I agree albeit easy to figure out how to do things, I liked the list on the side to track on goingRead More conversations. This new method makes you have to get email alerts to know when someone replied. I guess if less traffic is what your advertisers were looking for its what you got

Hahaha- if you wonder where Vic went he's now busy hitting the recommend button on his blog cause noRead More one is paying attention to him. Note to Patch- if you must have a stupid recommend/like button, at least not have it work so that people can self abuse it- you're gonna make poor Victor go blind.

Renee, please know that none of us are upset with you when we critique the new updates. We know youRead More are at the mercy of the powers that be. Hopefully, those powers listen to complaints and return some of the features we enjoyed. Jeremiah- look at the right of your screen, you should see a green feedback box. It will take you to a page to email your opinion to the Patch. Renee- I'm having lots of problems with the site blanking out and reloading, also. Its constantly is freezing since the change. Never had a problem before. And no, I am not going to do what the Huff Post pushes, that is, install Google Chrome.

Wonderful! Hope this is in the local paper and Press Enterprise too! Congrats to Carl and hisRead More family!

Congrats to Carl!!

There's little to be surprised about. This story is a hundred years old, and one can find a millionRead More versions on the net claiming he was a hero or anti hero based on who was telling the story, while Steve is correct that a movie and books have already been researched and done. Please don't tell me you are going to be another one in a long line of people who try to resurrect this story by claiming some sort of personal link to it like I "heard the story from my father, who heard it from his second cousin's friend who dated a girl who was friends with another girl who heard it from her grandmother, etc."
steve l May 20, 2013 at 03:34 pm
is there a story that goes with this photo? ive already read the book and seen the movie, is thereRead More something new to report?

Renee - I agree 100% with Lloyd on this and you will find all the posters who used to make the PatchRead More an interesting read are going elsewhere. I know you are stuck with what they give you, but you need to stop defending this change and address it's failure. Holding our comments does no good - giving them to the people you deal with AFTER the site becomes set in stone will not work. Even the news stories don't rotate fast enough - the same things are on the page that were there after the changeover. I won't be using the new features - they are not nearly as user-friendly as you try to portray and new responses to blogs and new comments are hidden. If they even show up - many of my comments on this new format have posted and then disappeared. Not a good move and it has hurt your paper. Jeremiah

Hi James, Actually all the Patch sites are switching over to this format, as the west coast wasRead More just the latest roll-out. They tested this model on the east coast, and most of the sites do have our "2.0" format now. However, they do encourage us to forward on user feedback about features you guys like— and don't like. I am saving all these comments to pass on to our teams. I appreciate your thoughts and I hope you will come to take advantage of some of the new features (as you already have with this board posting.) Patch is all about getting the community involved, and that's why there are now more ways for people to post, and why the blogs are now in the main column.
Lloyd White May 19, 2013 at 05:31 pm
James, I couldn't agree more. My posts on the old format generated many more comments than with theRead More new format. Sometimes my posts wouldn't make it to the front page and no one saw them until I asked the editor to move them to the blog column. Now they get lost in the news column and they drop off faster. Newcomers to the patch won't know whose blogs to go and check out. I hope the patch will find away to return the focus to the blogs, you are right there is no difference from the newspaper sites now.

Join us for the March! We will have picket signs that clearly state our different perspectives. WeRead More will have brochures that explain the cause. Distributing fliers before the march is a HUGE part of this. Please tell your neighbors about this... www.march-against-monsanto.com

Thanks for sharing, Tina!

TOTALLY AGREE 100% too !! Especially with Mr. Price regarding replying to individual comments, vs.Read More these big 'ol run-on threads -- & the ginormous ad panel sucks too...Patch doesn't feel as intimate as before. It was cute, handy, & informative ...Now it thinks its Facebook, ....Errrr..... :(
Renee Schiavone (Editor) May 15, 2013 at 03:28 pm
I personally don't have too much control over the way the site looks and functions, since it's partRead More of Patch overall. However, I am forwarding all your suggestions on to our design team and appreciate all the feedback-- positive and negative! And Jeremiah, I've asked around about the FB commenting thing some more, and there really are no plans to do away with our Patch logins. The FB comments are just meant to be a "plus" for those who want them... and others don't have to touch :)
Jeremiah Price May 15, 2013 at 03:01 pm
100% agree with that! Plus I liked the way that in the old one you could reply to an individualRead More comment. This one only lets you post at the end of the thread. Pretty sure she has started using the Facebook comments program, which by itself will keep me from posting. If the old one doesn't come back I will most likely be saying sayonara. I pretty much like everything else, but this was the real draw of the Patch and it's strong point - especially during the fire. Advertisement pane is about 10% too large as well and should be on the other side of the page to look right. Renee is trying though, which is appreciated. I just hope she listens about the comments section. Jeremiah
