    Excuse me? My goodness, aren't we the bitter one?
    of all time. The challenge he laid down to Americans put us on the moon before his 10 year prediction...an awesome feat that no doubt was accomplished within that time frame to honor his memory. His legacy is the stuff legends are made of, a view that is shared with us by people worldwide. His initiatives to advance freedom, civil rights and equality were unparalled in the history of our country, with the exception of Abraham Lincoln.

    Obama inspires literally MILLIONS of Americans in much the same way and for much the same reasons that JFK did. I have no doubt that he will be the transformational leader Colin Powell predicts he will be.

    Your petty pot shot about the LSD trip is hateful and uncalled for. There is no way you could have possibly been around for the 1960 election...you demonstrate the maturity of a 2-year old and the ignorance (especially regarding your ill-informed comment about the 1960 election)....well, that's another story.
    The old guard is going down. It is likely not to see the light of day again for quite some time. If you want to wallow around in all that negative energy, go fo it, but you have no right to begrudge ANYBODY the right to hope.
    Excuse me Shelly but aren't you the one who likes Palin ? bwaaahahahah sm
    You speak volumes about your own brilliance, liking Bush and Palin. Ridiculous. Well YOU LOST AND EVEN THQT TWIT HASSELBECK IS BACKING OBAMA NOW. Time for you to fix your image a little and look patriotic.
    Stop whining. The election is over.
    Because you posted on the Main board not Politics board.
    It was removed, as we do not have an option of moving from Main to Politics.

    This could have easily been avoided had you posted on the correct board.

    The response from another poster to not post political viewpoints on this board was becuase you posted it on the Main board.
    Excuse me, but this is the liberal board.
    The only person who isn't respecting it is you.
    You're on the wrong board, aren't you?

    Ironic that you are on the Politics board when you aren't American
    At least that what you say, that you're not from American and are European.

    Interesting indeed...

    Okay, now that I'm satisfied that you are indeed the poster I thought you were, I'm outta this thread.

    Good luck, ladies!!!
    I posted this on the other board...

    seeing as how they are all so gung ho the war and all; I honestly thought maybe we could agree on something over there but not a peep out of anyone...so I'll post it here.


    Here is a positive and really good idea and one I believe we can all agree on. I hope this ends the American Indian thread on a positive note. When I was down in Seminole country this past weekend I picked up a copy of The Seminole Tribune and found this article. I think this is so wonderful I can't hardly stand it. Believe me when I say this would mean SOOOOO much to the Indians serving in Iraq or anywhere for that matter.


    It is a native tradition that when a warrior went into battle he would wear new moccasins. The new moccasins were to bring him home safely from the battle or to ease his transition into the next life. With the number of American Indian troops currently stationed in harm's way the National Native American Veterans Association (NNAVA) has undertaken to send a new pair of moccasins to each of our native troops deployed. Each pair of moccasins is hand made in the traditional way, wrapped in red flannel (all things of a spiritual nature are wrapped in red, flannel, trade cloth, wool, whatever) and then shipped to the addresses of our deployed troops. The cost to make and ship each pair of moccasins is only $21 due to the number of volunteers who are donating their time and money to this project.


    Contributions can be mailed to Project Moccasin Fund C/O National Native American Veterans Association, P.O. Box 891973, Oklahoma City Oklahoma 73189-1973. For any more info, call Sherry A. Girty, NNAVA, Secretary of Counseling Services Center at 785-749-9445.





    Source is posted on the C board. sm
    But a lot of the MSM has picked it up.  They were high school sweethearts, been married 28 years.  BTW, he's a staunch Democrat, so it isn't political.  He is probably sick of her using their dead son as a political tool, which is what she is doing.   Her SURVIVING son has begged her to come home.  But she is enjoying her day in the sun.  And losing everything else.  I guess that's Bush's fault too.
    I posted this on this board on 11/05/2008. SM
    I won't flame you! I totally agree. Obama as president only weakens -

    this country and makes us ripe for the end.  He does not support Israel.  Keep your eyes on Israel.  I look for them to bomb Iran before Bush's term is up because they know Obama will not suport them.   (2008-11-05)


     


     


    So they didn't attack Iran, they invaded the Gaza Strip, but they made their move before Mr. Bush's term was up.  I also posted Biden's own words regarding Obama - "Mark my words, it will not be six months for the world tests Barak Obama...."


     


    Looks like Obama's test has begun.  I hope he's ready, but I know he is not.  He doesn't support Israel and that will be a huge mistake!


    If a stereotypical thing like the above had been posted on the C-board
    tongue-in-cheek or not we would be castigated to no end and called racist and insensitive to cultures.

    GT just exemplified her double standard, and I was calling her on it...
    See bumper sticker that was posted on the con board.

    *I'd rather hunt with Dick Cheney than ride with Ted Kennedy :) :)*


    This is tacky at best and only an IDIOT would ride around with this on their car. Seems to me the cons are making a bigger deal out of the shooting accident more than liberals.


     


    I posted this story all over this board yesterday
    Was asked for PROOF and I gave them the footage of Obama going door to door and then approached by the plumber. They have the facts but then they get very quiet and have nothing to spout off about,'cause they know deep down this guy is a crook. SOCIALIST!!

    The best they can do then is start some silly nonsense about Palin. That's all they got! They've never been able to refute the facts which seems to make them nastier.
    So Christians aren't supposed to political? Or we aren't supposed to let our morality, faith

    our conscience guide us politically?


    I'm sorry, that is a separation I cannot make.  My faith and religious convictions are part of the whole person that I am.  I vote my conscience.  I want political leaders who reflect my morality.  I also happen to believe there are many Christians out there like me.  There is no "separation" of church and state for me, which by the way was a concept (nowhere specifically mentioned in the constitution) meant to protect the church from the government more so than the government from the church.


    There is absolutely nothing wrong with that commercial.  There are condom commercials, "personal" lubricant commercials, and penis and sexual performance enhancing commercials -- why would anyone be offended by a pro-life commercial?  The fact that anyone would be offended is a testament to just how twisted society has become!


    So you and your buds bash us on *your* board and suddenly, once you reach this board,

    some respect?


    You publicly post on the other board that you *try not to visit the bog of eternal stench.*


    Well, doesn't look like you are trying all that hard. Or is that another example of Conservative honesty, like your buddy on the other board lies 3 times before suddenly deciding to be *up front* (in her own words) about the whole bogus line of crap she was spouting.


    You and your 2 friends don't respect anyone unless they're a member of your little club, think exactly as you think, belong to the same political party as you belong, and believe in the very same little narrow SUBsection of one particular religion.


    That's what I interpret from YOUR WRITTEN WORDS.  Your posts don't show respect.  They only show twisted *facts*, ignorance, anger and hatred.


    You can't be *respectful* on your own board but suddenly, when you come here - HERE - the place YOU call *the bog of eternal stench* you suddenly discover some respectability during your mouse click from there to here?


    Please.  Some of us aren't as stupid as you think we are.


    You're becoming quite a bore.  You and your friends stated you don't want us on your board, but you're not happy unless you're picking a fight.  You and your *gang* told us to leave and not to post on *your* board.  Maybe that should work both ways.


    Out of ALL the problems with radical Conservatives, maybe the most annoying thing is that you don't believe in equality at all.  You believe in SUPERIORITY.  Somewhere along the line, someone made you think you were special and above everyone else.  Sheesh!  You're not happy unless you're dictating to everyone else in the country what they're allowed to do in their own personal lives regarding life, death, science, etc. You even think YOUR GOD IS BETTER than everyone else's.


    You want to make the rules, censor people and tell them which boards they can and cannot post on, but YOU want to invade them all and spew your ignorance and hatred. 


    In my heart, I believe there are sincere, honest, intelligent Conservatives out there who are capable of a sensible debate.  I've seen them.  (I hope you don't chase them away, too.)  But and your crew don't fall in that category, and this will be the last of your inane posts I will subject myself to.


    Talk about stench. Just read your very own posts.


    Can we bring the board back to the true reason for the board

    Can we get the political board back to the true purpose of this board – to share opinions of why we like our candidate.  Not bash and cut down others because they don’t agree with you.


    I stayed away from this board for the past couple days because anyone who had anything positive to say about Sarah Palin got slammed, bashed, kicked down, etc.  After awhile I found it all too draining, and was not seeing any reason to come.  Yes, I did see some of it towards people who favored Barack Obama, but if you read the posts again it is mostly towards anyone who favored Sarah Palin/John McCain.


    I thought the political board was for posting information regarding politics and candidates.  What I have seen for the past few days is that it has been an attack board.  Especially if you have anything positive you want to share about Sarah Palin.  You say something good about her and you get attacked, you answer back, and you get attacked more, and then when you get mad and pretty much say stop attacking me, they come back with this “Geez, I’m allowed to have an opinion”.


    Another thing I am tired of seeing is the slanderous, hate filled, really off the wall comments about Sarah Palin.  The latest was something about her daughter actually had her baby.  Talk about just bizarre comments.  I thought what’s next, she’s an alien from another planet?  The more I kept reading the more the comments were getting just really weird and bizarre.  Of course nobody ever having any proof of any of these allegations.  I then came to realize that the posters were just trying to get a fight going.


    I also saw posts that had nothing to do with politics but attacking a poster named Sam.  Again, probably trying to get another fight going for no good reason and on things that have nothing to do whatsoever with politics.  I’ve read “Sam is like an annoying nat that you sway away”, “Sam, please let me know where you work” or “she must have her quota” or “sam is to the politics board as oracle is to the”  This childish rhetoric is getting old.  I’m not defending sam she is a big girl and I can see by her posts she can take care of herself, but my point is that this has nothing to do with politics.  If you want a fight maybe you could request that the administrator create a separate “fight and degrade” section.


    I’ve read the administrators post a couple different times called Beware of Flaming.  She/he said as long as we realize that not everyone is going to agree we shouldn’t wear our feelings on our sleeves and a little more oversight on here would be good.  Let people express his or her opinion and move on.  If you don’t like someone just ignore that person. “It’s not rocket science, you know” (I liked that statement)


    I consider posting on this board a privilege and not a right.  If you don’t agree with something and you post that you don’t agree and state the facts why (and are civilized about it) that’s one thing, but when you bash and degrade others without showing proof and just want to start fights and belittle others it just seems a bit juvenile to me.


    I come to the politics board to hear ideas and stuff (facts) about the candidates.  That is how I’m learning about each one, but I don’t want to read people attack other posters for no good reason.  I'd like to hear about Obama/Biden & McCain/Palin, but I want to hear facts.


    If you like to fight so much why don’t you pick on people that you can fight to face to face. 


    Your on the wrong board - you need to preach on the faith board
    You just delivered a sermon (or quote). Either way it doesn't belong here. What does this have to do with politics. The democrat and republican party did not start up until after the 1800s. Socialism also wasn't created until the 1800s.

    To me your post describes the way humans should treat other humans. This has nothing to do with politics - imho.

    the conservative board is a liberal board now
    you all aren't happy until you infect everyone out there with your hatred.   It's not something I'd very proud of.
    Politics board = political topics. Faith board = religious topics.

    Please keep all religious/faith topics and discussions on the Faith board.  This would involve your beliefs, whether Christian or atheist, etc. 


    The Politics board is strictly for political topics and discussions.

    Ya gotta understand the rules. We have to post on this board only. They can post on any board they

    Excuse me.....

    How can it be easy enough to prove with ISP numbers if the ISP numbers are not available?  Yes, I may be blowing this out of proportion but you seem to be contradicting yourself and your posts, as well as some others did raise the specter (sp?) of this being a nonsecure website.


    I do know such outings' with a lot more info that just ISP numbers have occurred on other political forums, i.e., proteswarrior.com (although I am bracing myself right now for the retaliation this mention will bring from right-wingers).


    Golly, I kind of feel like this forum is in the midst of being hijacked by the conservative in-your-face folks somewhat. 


    Excuse me, but I'm AO.

    You are careless.  Even a small brain like mine can see there are major differences in gt and ao's writing styles.  Check it out.  Besides, we don't even live in the same part of the country.  I'm sure the administrator can verify that for you if it makes an important difference in your life.


    Also, AO is not Another Observer, in case that was your next accusation.  See, there's more than one of us out here. 


    Excuse me but it should have said *did not*

    Geesh, I forgot that this forum doesn't like apostrophes.  Do you ever make a mistake?  I don't make fun of people's typos, but evidently because you can't stick to the subject or respond directly to my post without calling names it's just a rabbit trail to discredit me.  You know, whatever, you've proven that you're not worth my time.


    See ya...


    Excuse me, but it's a law. sm
    She was asked to comply by the police and she IGNORED THEM.  She is not above the law.  None of us are.  Everyone should be concerned about this behavior.  Bush had nothing to do with it!  My gosh, the things you say.
    Excuse me.
    If you don't want my opinions then don't read them. It's that simple.

    Sorry I dared to enter your high and mighty world. I'll leave you to your hate.
    Excuse me, but yes you did. sm

    I usually don't post here, but here is what you said below.  You have posted on our board, so I am posting here.  By the way, your temper tantrums and attacks are not doing anyone any favors.  Not an attack but an observation. Here is what you said below. 


     


    *The neocons, of course, can't have this, so they send our threads to people like you to crash the liberal board, utilizing their very own name calling and intimidation tactics.  They never gave a hoot about Israel in the past, but suddenly they see Israel as their new best friend.  They're winking at God and saying, See?  We're on Israel's side now and won't be one of the groups against Israel, so bring on the Rapture.  We've secured our place with God.  The Rapture Index has indicated it's fasten your seatbelt time and they can't wait.*


     


    As far as for the rest of what you have said, most of us have always been on Israel's side.  You are showing how really and truly uninformed you are by statements like this.


    Excuse me.....
    the first settlers were not slave owners and came here for religious freedom. The founding fathers were deeply seated in Christianity. The country WAS founded on those principles. However, others came who did not ascribe to those principles, just as there are those who do not ascribe to those principles now. May I also remind you that slavery was introduced here by Dutch traders who bought slaves in Africa and brought them to America...much later. And who sold those slaves to Dutch traders? I believe it was other Africans, who enslaved and sold their own people. The original colonists at first got along with the Indians. It was much later, in the plains, where the near annihilation as you call it occurred. All during that time were present the Christian missionaries who tried to intervene, were often killed for it, by whites and Indians alike. I am Choctaw, I am descended from the indigenous peoples. Indians also killed and enslaved one another. It is not an *American* invention. And...who said I was painting anything as *rosy?* My point was, and still is, and is borne out daily, that the further you travel from Christian principles the more acceptable killing, slavery, and all other ill of the world becomes. Turning the blind eye so to speak. And it is generalizations like you state above, that the entire country is responsible for what a few did...it is that kind of mindset, like the other poster who thinks *Republicans* need to be destroyed. That kind of generalization is dangerous. Blaming an entire country, an entire group of people, for what a few do is not realistic. Not everyone in the country condoned everything. All through history you will see Christians spoke out against slavery, spoke out against what was happening with the Indians, spoke out against segregation, spoke out against abortion, and on and on and on. Perhap I should stop saying *this country* and say *the people in it.* *This country* was founded on Christian principles, and for a long time for the most part most of the people in it followed those principles. As time went on, fewer did. And somehow, the tide has completely turned and Christians are the enemy. But, I do stand corrected. America, the concept of America, has not chnaged. But the people in it most certainly have.
    Excuse me again...
    See my responses below.

    You said: You need to read up on your history of this country.

    I say: Right back at you. And you need to look deeply into books published 100 years ago as well as ones published in this century so you get the whole picture.


    You said: Why does it matter what the origins of slavery were? The fact is, most of the founding fathers either owned slaves or families' had owned slaves. Washington owned hundreds of slaves, although he freed them as part of his will upon his death.

    I say: I never said the founding fathers did not hold slaves. Re-read my post. I said that the original colonists did not hold slaves, and they did not. Jamestown was settled in 1607...slaves were introduced to this country around 1640, several years later. That is the truth and that is what I said. What matters about the origins of slavery is you want to condemn this country for holding slaves. I don't see you railing against Africa for starting the slave trade...if no slaves to sell, none would be bought. If you are going to rail against something, rail at the source. That is like blaming the school child for taking the drugs the dealer sold him.

    You said: What do you mean, slavery came much later. Later than what?


    I say: See my answer above.

    You said: This country still condoned slavery for 100 years.

    I say: Please do not say *this country condoned* because this country as a whole did NOT *condone.* Huge numbers of people did not own slaves. You know that. Only the more well to do folks could afford it. And through the years several thousand people did speak out about it and did what they could, and in case it escaped your attention, we finally fought a civil war in which one of the principles was to abolish slavery.

    You sid:
    As far as the founding fathers and our rights we protect here's some info:

    It's important to differentiate the Constitution that the Founding Fathers cooked up from the Bill of Rights. Today when we think of the protections of the American system, we usually think of the shining example of ethics and goodness contained in the Bill of Rights. These are the first ten amendments to the Constitution. They are primarily the work of George Mason (1725-1792). He would have been a Founding Father because he was a delegate to the convention from Virginia, but he refused to sign the Constitution. He realized that it failed to protect individual liberties and failed to oppose slavery.

    I say:
    Excuse me, yet again, but isn't this the same George Mason who himself held slaves? Yes, he did. What he did was speak out about the slave trade, but he did not give up the slaves he already had. Don't know if he released them upon his death or not, like Washington did. He was holding slaves at the time he was criticizing the practice. Pardon me if I do not see that as the height of hypocrisy. And you are wrong,because the Constitution did not address slavery is NOT one of the reasons he did not sign it. You are correct that he did not sign it because he did not feel it addressed individual freedoms; but, in fact, he spoke OUT against including mention of slavery in the Constitution (probably because he owned slaves himself). Get your facts straight.

    I can find no mention at all of the founding fathers lobbying against the Bill of Rights. Please supply me with the historical references.

    You said: Mr. Mason lobbied against adoption of the Constitution just as many of the Founding Fathers lobbied against the Bill of Rights. Most of the Founding Fathers disapproved of giving ordinary citizens such liberties as freedom of religion, freedom from unreasonable search and torture, the right of free speech and so forth. In fact, when John Adams (1735-1826) was president (1797-1801), he took away freedom of speech.

    I say: Well, what John Adams did then is no different than what the Democrats are trying to do now in shutting down talk radio. Same song, second verse. Get after them with equal zeal, I challenge you.

    You said:
    The Bill of Rights is really the people's voice against the Founding Fathers; liberty against conformity.

    I say:
    You are very liberal with your interpretation.

    _________



    You said:
    As far as the Native American disgrace/slaughter, all I can say is you have an interesting viewpoint that is not shared by many indigenous. Bhoo-zhoo.

    I say:
    It is shared by many more than you are aware. But remember my friend...we are still entitled to our opinion, whether or not it agrees with yours. Question for you: if you still hold such emnity today, hundreds of years later, what could be done about it? You cannot turn back time. Most tribes are doing very well, have their own lands, pay no federal taxes on those lands, and are among some of the more well-to-do among us. If the Nation does not share that wealth properly with the tribe, then the people should take it up with the Nation, which many of us are doing. Native Americans did not just suffer at the hands of white men. They have also suffered a great deal at the hands of their own, and that has nothing to do with this country and everything to do with human beings. There are the good and bad among us, always have been, always will be...in every culture, every population, until the end of time. And dwelling in the past does nothing to help. Learn from the past, yes; but do not dwell there.

    And try to get your information from several sources. Study for yourself, research for yourself. I learned long ago that is necessary.

    Excuse me....
    Thou shalt not kill - there is a federal law against murder. Thou shalt not steal - there is a federal law against stealing...you will have to do better than separation of church and state. That being said, the words "separation of church and state" are not in the Constitution. It says that there shall be no state-sponsored religion. To my knowledge there is no religion called United States of America. Did that happen while I wasn't looking? Funny to me that the government can pull many laws right out of the Bible, but come to one that that doesn't suit the more liberal ones among us and they start yelling separation of church and state. Go figure.

    That being said, most of the laws on the books today have "religious wacko" origins. This country was founded by "religious wackos," or was that missed in history class? Oh yes, I forgot...the more liberal among us stopped teaching that inconvenient truth. However, one can still do searches and read the original writings of the founding fathers...if one is really interested in the truth.

    What would folks like in place of "religious wacko" laws? Just let everyone do whatever they want...kill you if you are annoying or a burden to them? Kill you if you are no longer wanted? Steal from you if you have something they want and can't afford to buy for themselves? America was basically a ""Christian theocracy in its infancy, meaning the basic laws all came straight from the Bible. It was also a democracy...the two are not mutually exclusive. And there it goes again, lumping Christians and any other religious group into one group of "religious wackos." Extremely divisive and unnecessary. And, it looks to me like it is not the "religious wackos" on this site who are going bananas when someone doesn't agree with them....
    Excuse me?

    Excuse me but I do not believe

    I bashed SAHMs.  I think it should be a personal decision and one should not be looked down upon if they choose to work or choose to stay home.  You have no right to bash her any more than she has right to bash you for staying home.  I work out of my home because my husband and I need this extra income I bring in.  My sister-in-law stays home with her kids and my brother works his @ss off trying to support them and he hardly ever gets to see his kids because he is supporting his family.  He wants to spend more time with them but he cannot.  So why is it fair for him to never see his kids to support his family working 2 jobs?  My mom stayed at home and I hardly ever saw my dad because he was working to support us.  Don't you think that sucked with me never seeing my dad or was that okay because my mom was there.  If my sister-in-law would get a job, my brother wouldn't have to work 2 jobs and he could see his kids more.  If my mom would have worked, my dad wouldn't have had to work that OT and I would have seen him more. 


    It is great that you can stay at home if that is what you choose to do, but don't bash others for their choice.  It isn't like SP is up and walking out of the door to never see her kids again and they do have Todd Palin, their dad, to be with them.

    Any excuse at all

    Black Republican Activist Bob Parks predicts riots will ensue if Obama wins or loses the election.


    Parks, a syndicated writer, talk show host, and Republican activist, lists his reasons in the video, Obama’s America: Win or Lose, as to why he believes an Obama loss would mean “things could get ugly on a grand scale” or that an Obama win would give ‘”punks” the “greatest of reasons” to take to the streets:


    “Now what occasionally happens when a city’s team wins a championship? We have riots! There’s looting, hooliganism, vandalism, drunk and disorderliness, assaults, and sometimes injury or death, and this wouldn’t be about one single city. Can you imagine the potential for nationwide rioting by punks, looking an excuse and now having the greatest of reasons to do so?”





    Excuse me? I was not the one
    who posted that other post about being jealous.  So please do not attack me when you don't know what I have or have not posted. 
    Well, excuse me! I am too new to this
    board to be familiar with all the vernacular.  I was just responding to a  remark made by a poster earlier who spewed out a hateful personal attack on another poster, and someone asked the Moderator to ban that person from the board!
    Excuse me....put yourself out there??
    Because you ask a simple question that merits a background check and having your life made public? He is not RUNNING for ANYthing!! Do you hear yourself? The more posts I see like this the more I understand the way most socialist countries end up going....freaking amazing.
    Excuse you, but...
    he has already said that yes, he does fall into the over 250,000 bracket, and while noone likes to pay taxes, he would be paying taxes imposed on that bracket.
    Excuse me?

    Who gives a rip about medical records.  I want proof this guy was born in the USA.  I want proof before he can be elected president.  Who cares about Palin's health.  McCain may have skin cancer, but it is not as bad as lung cancer.  Did you know Obama smokes?  Shoot he could pass away from lung cancer before McCain's skin cancer.  Honestly, cannot compare medical records to birth certificate. 


    That's the best excuse you have for the

    Please excuse me....(sm)
    I saw scripture quoted and many references to God on here, so I assumed this must be the faith board.  Funny how you didn't have a problem with that.
    Excuse me?
    Of course, we have the enigma of being home to some of the biggest crooks in the world (Bush, Cheney, Delay, Perry, etc.) but this is a beautiful state. Do not associate this beautiful state with the ugly criminals.
    Excuse me, but I think YOU are the one with the
    Whenver someone posts something you don't agree with you are quick to jump on and insult them. You have a very nasty attitude and if you don't believe me, go down the board and read some of YOUR comments. You are the one who invites attacks by your nasty attitude and name calling.

    Talk about the pot calling the kettle black...
    Excuse me.
    Most of us have 401Ks and are anything but "gleeful" that 50% of the value has been wiped out. Pointing out that Obama and his Treasury chief had a significant role in the enormous drop in the market since inauguration day has nothing to do with "glee". It's just simple fact.

    And even the Dems wondered when Geithner was going to get off his bony a$$ and show us the "boy wonder" that he was said to be - and isn't. Meanwhile, the markets continued to tumble. There's no disputing any of this.

    And the markets have a very, VERY long way to go before any of us get back what we've lost, so I would kindly suggest that you save any and ALL market-related comments for that moment. You should know, thought, that it might be a very long time coming.
    It took decades for the market to recover what it lost in the Depression. Meanwhile, of course, there were "up days" and "down days" and "up months" and "down months"...and if you had been living then, it would have been extremely foolish for you to make anything at all out of the little rallies that occurred. Don't make the same mistake here or you'll only make yourself look foolish.
    Excuse me again. A little boy wants a

    boyfriend and that makes him gay?  Little boys have need of friends, maybe not so much as little girls, but they do have need of male friends.  Where was the little boy's father at that age? 


     


    excuse me but....
    This midwesterner wants to know, did you just lump people who do vote Republican and those who read the Bible with people who are illiterate, who do not get past 6th grade and do marry at age 16???
    They had been looking for an excuse....(sm)
    to do that anyway....and this would have been it.
    excuse me?
    What do you mean get back to draft registration? Draft registration is still enforced..... illegally I might add. In this state,whenever a male registers for a drivers license, unknowing to him, he is automatically registered into the draft.....ILLEGAL! ILLEGAL!

    That is called forced servitude. Have you forgotten Vietnam? All that forced servitude didn't do a d@mn thing but cause the slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent BOYS!

    No, your military will not be good! You want people sent to war that do NOT want to be there and do NOT believe in whatever war our government has gotten us into this time? Pleeeze! Where do you come up with all this crap! I would much rather have individuals that have signed into the military of their own free will...which is exactly how legally it is supposed to be. Forced servitude is illegal and I certainly don't want someone out there that doesn't want to be!!
    Probably because there aren't

    nearly as many of them.  And I noticed the tally keeper yesterday was only tallying those posts she wanted to count.  Sound like politics?


    As for rabid, thanks for the enlightenment but the definition I prefer is 1 a: extremely violent : furious b: going to extreme lengths in expressing or pursuing a feeling, interest, or opinion <rabid editorials> <a rabid supporter>


    CERTAINLY NOT:


    2: affected with rabies


    Well, though, I would hope none of the "rabid" Republicans (or Democrats) are "affected with rabies" but hey, maybe that's something to ponder.  After all, rabies does affect the brain. LOL


    aren't

    YOU special . . .


     


    They aren't done yet. This is just day 1 of

    cutting the pork. Let's wait and see what they will do by Friday.


    My calculator doesn't go that high for adding up the pork they want to cut, but I think it's more than 2%.


    I will take a wait-and-see attitude with my finger on the "favorites" key to renounce them if they don't cut all the pork out.


    no, they aren't.
    I hate this discussion. Do you actually know any gay people? I doubt it or you would not think that way. Most people, regardless of their sexual orientation, are just trying to go about their business and live their own lives. There are always people making a big issue of something or another, whether gay or straight, and the gay population does not do so anymore than any other group. As is always the case, only those making an issue get the attention thus painting a whole population. If everyone would just keep their nose out of everyone else's business we would all be better off. Truly, another person's lifestyle is no one else's business unless it infringes on the rights of others.
