Is Kirupa democratic?

I recently posted a thread here regarding the cost of the war in iraq. The thread was closed by a moderator. And many who came here also asked for the thread to be closed. What I want to ask is this - Does Kirupa.com have a political stance?

I private messaged the moderator but got no reply.

I dont care if there is a policy on political comments - fair enough if that is the case (although i have never seen this in the rules)

I thought this forum was trully democratic and always loved it as so. I thought people here were allowed to give opinions and get opinions back in equall measure?
