All I asked for was courtesy & respect when posting. If that is

something that posters cannot do, then those posters don't need to be here.  You will not post on my forum in the manner in which you have.  You know who you are. You will not be missed here.

For those who can hold healthy debate with respect, we welcome you.

I do not remember specificially but you asked me where were my legs and my mouth. What did I do besides coming to the C board and whining and I answered you.

The peace **movement** as you call it is different from a peaceful nonviolent approach to life. The movement is but one small fraction of trying to live a life of nonviolence. The **movement** shows its face big time when a tragedy the size of Iraq erupts but most of the time we work behind the scenes.

Again, this is our board, I'll preach to the choir as much as I want. If you don't like it, don't read it, how simple is that.

You seem to see promotion of a peaceful existence as one thing and that is resistance to war, or conflict or whatever they are calling it these days. It's all about the **them**, the politburo, the Viet Cong, the communists, the socialists, the terrorists. I don't see things that way. I see a bigger picture, bigger than this country or Iraq or Iran or China or this planet or this galaxy. I have been instructed in no uncertain terms how to behave towards my fellow man. There are no riders attached. That is the part that seems to be so hard for you to deal with. Christ instructed us to love our brothers as ourselves, to do for the least of our brethern as if we were doing for Him. He does not say, except for the drug addicts, the alcoholics, the bums, the slackers, the liars and thieves...there are no riders. That is for Him to sort out, not me.

The terrorists you refer to are everywhere. It is a mind set, not a place.  They are here in our country, they are certainly in Europe, in the Philippines, in Africa, in the islands of the South Pacific, Indonesia. It makes no sense to go somewhere else and protest. We have to look at ourselves first, always. Your approach seems to be to wage war on everyone. I think that is an exercise in futility.  I will stick with my approach. I will continue to pray, continue to do the things I have always done. I empathize with your position, knowing where you come from but I will never see killing as a way to accomplish anything positive. I also sincerely truly and honestly believe the terrorists hate each other more than they hate us and that we would not be in any more danger if we left Iraq than if we stay; in fact, I think just the opposite, the longer we stay, the worse things will become. It is a horrible position our troops have been put into. They were sent into an immoral, unethical, illegal snake pit by people who have never seen a day of combat in their lives, who got out because they had **other priorities.** And now they're stuck and we're stuck and whatever way we extricate ourselves it will not have a good outcome. My own personal opinion is that it is better to get out now and save what lives we can. I know you disagree, so be it.

By the way, I have one question for those of you who have served in the military or have husbands who have done so or are still doing so, doesn't the fact that people like Cheney with 5 deferments bother you/them. That no one who has sent people into war have actually been there themselves. Doesn't that bother you??

These are just from the past week.  There's plenty, plenty more, a veritable ton to choose from......

Can we just admit it...you don't care what the facts are.

What a twisted value system. Twisted.

Here she is folks...the aspiring Ann Coulter of the liberal board.

Don't pretend you actually talk about issues here. You don't.

You do not believe your own platform.

Yeah....liberal compassion. I see a LOT of that on this board....
-
Ahh....the writ handed down from she who decides who and who does not deserve compassion. lol.

You care nothing about the truth. I don't even know if you recognize it anymore. Pathetic.

Cannot let go of prejudice long enough to see the truth when it is in plain black and white.

Again...if this is a liberal trait then God save us from liberals...

Typical pile on attack liberal tactics. Just admit it. You know they are lying, you just don't care.

What a twisted, twisted set of values you have.

Denial, denial, denial. It is so patently obvious...you cannot get past the Bush hatred...cannot see the forest for the trees. Amazing....utterly, completely, amazing

You have so much class, reveille...really, so much class. You could not debate an issue if your life depended upon it. Let us hope that it never does.
 
LOL. You do love to wallow in it.... (to Piglet)

he is FOR the secret ballots because he said that companies start intimidating workers when the subject of unions come up, telling them, we will have to cut your pay, prices will go up, we will have to lay off most of our workers and finally, "we'll have to close our doors."  So it cuts both ways.  I'm sure he'll be more than happy to expound on  his RABID pro-union stance if you're sure you're ready for that.  LOL

Yes, I know Todd Palin is a card-carrying union member and good for him but that still doesn't mean I want to see his wife in the White House!!!!

Are you saying you think women have the right to choose abortion?

"Yeah. I mean, again, I think that’s an individual choice."

So which is it?

Of course I make fun of republicans, just like you guys make fun of dems.  So what else is new?  I'll tell you what.  I'll name one republican who I think is reasonable, and you name one democrat who you think is reasonable.  I'll go first.

How about John McCain's daughter....Meghan McCain.  She is 24 years old, just out of college, and smart as a whip.  She has a column on The Daily Beast.  I think she leans a little more towards the center, but is definitely a fiscal conservative.  Give her about 8 years and if she goes into politics she will be a force to be reckoned with.  Check out these interviews.

was a Moslem.........

The rag was himself while on  "This Week" with George Stephanapoulos.  Obama was talking about his religion and said, " My Muslim faith" and then said when questioned that he "made a mistake".    

Is that enough citing for you or do you not believe what he said either? 

You blind O lovers need to open your eyes folks!

Blindness will get you nowhere when he has sold your country down the river to the terrorists. 

No....When I get spooked I walk around the house peeking into closets and under beds with whatever is handy....LOL. 

war on terror (which is where the word terrorists comes from), and Obama responded with the "moderate Muslims" reply. 

I know it's hard to be told you're wrong, so I won't bother wasting my breath.  You think what you want.  Here's a new one for this board, brace yourself -- not everyone shares your opinion.

all the posts I've seen you post have come across to me as very confrontational.  You seem to be limited to posting only posts that defend these three, and I haven't seen you post anything on any political issue -- just confronting posters and complaining about their behavior, sympathizing with poor AG, Nan and MT.  That's ALL you've posted on this board, and to say it was YOU who was attacked shows, at the very least, the very same mindset that precludes you from seeing things objectively.  Afraid I have to agree with GT above.  I, too, smell a conservative in liberal clothing, and it also wouldn't surprise me if you were either one of those three or one who is very closely allied with them.

But I will take you at your word that this is your last post.  In addition, I will make this my last post to you.  I'm happy that at least temporarily we're free of all the intolerance and hatred and rage and battles that ensue when those three are around.  I refuse to get back into that, and I feel that you're trying to take me down that path, and I'm not buying it.

Have a blessed day.

... it doesn't say very much about an Army mom who would use his service -- his putting his life on the line -- in order to try to bully, shame and coerce people who would rather see her son home with his family and safe.

It doesn't say very much about an Army mom who would sacrifice her own flesh and blood because she's too busy worshiping a very false idol in Bush.

But most of all it doesn't say very much about a president who couldn't care less about her son, a president who has recklessly, negligently and uncaringly tossed America's young people into harm's way for an unnecessary, very possible illegal war.

I honor her son, and I respect his courage very much.  I thank him for putting his life on the line in service to his country.  And I profusely apologize to him for the way his life has been devalued by Bush.  Maybe if Bush had the integrity and courage to actually serve in a war himself, he wouldn't be so hasty about killing our young people.  Her son, by virtue of having the courage to serve, is way, way, WAY above George Bush in the integrity and courage categories. Wouldn't we be fortunate if someday her son went on to become president?  He's already more fit to serve than Bush is.

I hope and pray that he can return home to his family (where he belongs) and that his return is safe and without injury.  I'm just very, very sorry that his mother can't see that just because we don't worship an idiot like she does, that doesn't mean we don't support our troops because we want them safe and home with their families instead of fighting an unnecessary, immoral war.

for any man or woman in the armed forces.  I think that their opinion in our next president is very important.  However, even with military personnel, there are still going to be some of them who vote strictly because of race or political party. 

If our votes don't really count....this is pointless, but you can't screen people and question their motives for voting and who they choose to vote for and why before you let them vote.
