I am not bullying anyone into my way of thinking....
simply presenting the other side. That is what democracy is about. If you are saying women should not involve themselves in politics, I could not disagree more. Decisions affect us, just like they affect men.
Of course I don't know everything...I just give research due diligence because I don't accept anything from either side at face value. The whole basis of our political system is that there are two sides to everything and you choose whichever side most closely meets what you think is best for the country.
What is wrong with defending someone if you believe that person is right? The other side defends Obama just as aggressively, if not more so.
Actually, the beatitude says the meek shall inherit the earth, not the weak. In my interpretation, "meek" does not mean "weak."
Well.....look at it this way....if they don't push this bailout...
there are folks who know "where the bodies are buried." There is probably so much we DON'T know about all this...and yes, it is disgusting. Dodd and Frank, if they had an ounce of integrity, would apologize to the American people and resign. Pelosi, if SHE had an ounce of integrity, would demand it. So far John McCain is the ONLY one who has said someone should resign, and that was Christopher Cox, the Republican head of the SEC. He SHOULD resign. So should the treasury secretary, Paulson. Every member of that committee that voted back in 2006 to kill the bill McCain co-sponsored should resign. They should all be investigated criminally as well as far as I am concerned. I know the FBI is looking at Fannie/Freddie but talk about a day late and dollar short after Raines, Johnson, Howard, and Gorelick raped the American public for millions.
You're right. They should ALL have to go and start over.
Guess when push comes to
shove, () is not able to stand behind her convictions.... or whatever they are!!!
What is your problem with just teaching no bullying
There is no need to point out homosexuals as being people they should not pick on. Why pick out any single type of kid?
Did you ever hear of just teaching your child to be nice to people, to not name call, bully or pick on anyone? That would just about wrap it up wouldn't it?
There are many young children in elementary school that do not even know the term "homosexual", so I certainly don't believe it is the school's job to bring that to the attention of a child. That is the parent's responsibility to explain what homosexuality is, if they so choose.
You think for a minute if a school starts talking about tolerance of homosexuals that questions wouldn't arise about what they do, what that means, why they do that, and every other question they could possibly imagine? I sure as heck don't care for the school system to educate my child on gays or their lifestyle, thank you very much!
Teaching a child about not making fun of a child with disabilities is NOT the same as teaching a child about homosexuals. You believe homosexuality to be a "disability". Funny you brought up those two things together..........
No sell!
They stop trying to push YOUR beliefs on

No, if those who do not push for peace in the Middle East sm
establishing a democracy and fighting terrorists there rather than here, if those people are wrong, we will all suffer. It is certainly much broader than that. As far as why we don't just get in and kick butt and get out, well, there was a time when we would have. Now, there are too many liberal watchdogs who on one hand say they support the troops and with the other cut their Achillles tendon. Forced to fight a PC war, we can never win this. That's my take on it.
WHy is disagreeing with a position viewed as bullying?
Your response is much more bullying....self-righteous and pompous I think were your words...
It is not MY party. I am not a Republican. This country would be much better off if everyone, both sides, put country first and not the party.
That being said...it were an important issue to debate, it should not have had to have a pregnant 17-year-old girl "spark it." All I am saying is, regardless of that, it is a choice whether to continue to bring into the spotlight a candidate's child for political fodder.
The point is...it was not an issue before 17-year-old pregnant Bristol. But now it is, a way to keep that constantly in the forefront. That is the choice some on the left have made.
All I am saying is...while I am sure you think it is justified, there are many who will not. And that is ALL I am saying.
He should shut up and not push policy or influence until he gets into office.
He has truly undermined the current sitting president and has been disrespectful to that very office. That much is true.
I wasn't talking about two ways about anything. You must be talking about someone else.

Agreed. Teach no bullying or violence, period.
"Lifestyle acceptance" doesn't have to come into it at all. I don't have to accept anyone's lifestyle in order to learn that bullying and violence are not acceptable ways of expressing my disagreement with them.
You see, there's a conflation between the principle of "nonviolence" and "acceptance of lifestyles" going on here, and it's very, very calculated and it's very, very deliberate.
In fact, "acceptance" is really an inadequate basis for nonviolence - if you stop for a moment to think about it - because I am obliged to be nonviolent toward people whose lifestyles not even you would suggest that that I (or my children) should EVER "accept".
Just teach "no bullying" PERIOD and leave the lifestyle crap out of it.
I'm sorry, but you're very naive about what these children are actually being taught - i.e., that one family is "just like another" (there's a cute little song they sing about this), etc.
You want to teach kids not to be physically violent toward any other kids - fine. You go beyond that and start preaching the gospel of lifestyle equivalency and you're wandering off into the parents' domain.
Oh, yeah - I almost forgot. Get back to T E A C H I N G!!
Be easy...see ya!

That was easy!
You said:
America is becoming a very scary place indeed. I believe, as you do, that there are people who are eagerly awaiting the *Rapture* and indeed believe they have the *inside track* to heaven. Unfortunately, it look as if this country might actually suffer from their self-fulfilled prophecy if it continues going backwards in time under Bush's completely inept leadership.
I wish it was that easy
Problem here is I don't know what to give up that would make a difference. Only 2 of us, we both work at home, so only drive to grocery store on weekend, or an errand here and there. We spend maybe $10 a month in gas, however, close to $200 a week on food (sometimes more). We have been cutting back on meat. Not so much because of cost but more because of constantly getting home and its bad. I'd love to get my food bill down but it is so hard and I don't know how without starving ourselves.
It's not easy
I can usually find socks and underwear made in the US, some jeans, sheets and tools, but when it comes to buying toys, there isn't much. (I think Slinky is still made in the US.)
But I read labels and check the descriptions when I buy on line and I try to buy American when I can. Same with cars; we're a big GM family.
Take it easy
May we please discuss matters w/o using angry, foul language? Because this leads us to nowhere. Thanks.
Won't go there. Too easy. :-) nm

Easy....sm
My gut feeling is that every promise and idea and plans for our future that has ever come out of Barack Obama's mouth is a lie, or else it's couched in such a way that he will be able to twist it later. It's all socialism, being called by other names. (Most recent point being, his 250,000 tax the rich, which is now down to 120,000). I can never, ever, believe anything that he says. Slick Barry does not inspire trust in me at all.
McCain, well, honestly, only about half of his stuff do I disagree with. Sure, he probably has told some whoppers, but they don't kick me in the gut and make me gasp for air, the way the other one does.
So I'm voting for McCain. It's a matter of trust. I trust and truly believe he is the better choice, and will be better for America, in the short and long term.
There you go. That could not have come easy for you.

it's easy to say that
you wouldn't mind paying a higher percentage if you don't have to do it. you may well be singing a different tune if you actually had to pay it. I am not making light of your situation. I am simply saying the percentage should be even. just to make it easy - if you make $250,000 and pay 25% in taxes that comes out to paying 62,500. It you earn 50,000 and pay that 25% in taxes you pay $12,500. don't you think the 62,500 is already enough; why should they pay more. I don't understand. But if I was earning the 250,000 and paying that much in taxed, I should wouldn't want someone telling me I should pay more because I actually did well for myself.
That's easy....(sm)
If you don't want your kids looking at porn on the internet, teach them not to do it. Provide your kid with internet access and put a block on that computer. If they are visiting a library during class hours and are looking at porn on the internet, I would say they have some behavioral problems anyway, and porn is about the last thing you need to worry about in that case.
You guys scream smaller government, but then you want the govt to raise your kids.
Very easy to tell you're no conservative
or else you'd have mastered the art of "twisting" and wouldn't have such high regard for the truth.
Lesson 1: Visit the Conservative Board and study closely.
(Lesson 2 will follow as soon as you have successfully completed Lesson 1.)
This is an easy one. Impeach!!

This one's too easy. Just made my day.
Title of you post is lifted straight out of TT112OldTimer's post responding to Free Speech Rocks. When spinning soooo out of control that the brain becomes blank, you can always resort to plagiary. Hello. Are you listening? Vitriol out, vitriol in. You might be shocked by how much respect you earn with just the simple gesture of extending some. Respect is NOT a 4-letter word.
Common sense is exactly what I used when I decided to attack my own bigoted tendencies back when I was still a teenager. I did not learn any of that from books or courses I took in school. I took it to the streets and reaped benefits beyond measure from those lessons.
Au contraire. The bluster of bigots is easy to bury under fact and logic. No need to be thwarted by that. Their reservoir of insults runs very shallow, but the intellect is a well that one can dig as deep as is necessary. Fact/truth is another arch-enemy of the bigot. You at least had the wisdom not to attempt to ridicule the context post since you knew you would be in way over your head and besides, you are allergic to the other side of the coin. As they say, if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. It can’t be much fun to find yourself dumbfounded by your own narrow mind. Frustrating too...remember it well.
On the shortcut post: That was your snipe, not mine. Snipe begets tripe. Vtriol out/vitriol in. Garbage out/garbage in. Is there an echo in here?
Not the slightest bit interested in agreement, validation or vindication. I am secure enough by now not to need all of that. But in political contexts, the journey down the road to consensus will never begin in the absence of flexibility, open-mindedness and a good dose of patience.
What part of my posts reflect your tactics do you not understand? You absolutely refuse to look at yourself in the mirror, but you do know enough to be outranged when someone sends you your own reflection. It’s not a pretty sight and furthermore, you become every bit as enraged as you seem to think I am. You are constitutionally incapable of seeing what a spiteful little vixen you become when your brick-wall logic is thrown back in you face.
No surprise there. Bigotry is always blind. Here’s another example you are bound to ignore: You are so driven by your hatred of illegals that you would actually weigh in on the side of transnationals and cast your vote for the party who empowers them to outsource your profession overseas and drive your own wages into the ground.
Well shut my mouth! Could it be that you have finally run out of insults in the face of the realities of logic and have arrived on the threshold of the next level where most other right-wingers eventually find themselves...running for the hills and back into the open arms of the choir members? You are big on cliché. Here’s one for you...you can run, but you can’t hide. Have a safe journey and I am “sending up a prayer” that you find the sanctuary you seek.
Easy on the eyes?
Are you kidding me?
It was me and, yep , I said it. Easy on the eyes!

Come on, you made that way too easy! nm

That's easy. Because he is the best candidate
x
Easy, cuz it's true. sm
He's got you right where he wants you.
The truly uninformed are voting for the O.
The rest of us will try to counter that, though, and drag McCain over the finish line if we have to.
Anything is better than O and a democratic congress in power.
Naw, I'm not easy to offend s/m
I did change my mind though, if I have to eat that crow, could I have BBQ sauce instead of just plain ole salt and pepper??? LOL
It didn't come easy, but what are you going to do
I still really feel Obama is the wrong person for the job. There were just too many thing wrong and suspicious of this O guy. First everyone has to verify they are eligible by providing their bc except him. Then everyone is required to submit their medical records except him. In all truth I feel he bought his way in. There is just too much that is not sitting right with me about him. And I'm going to keep my eye on him. When I hear of something wrong you can bet your bippy I'm going to post.
In all honesty I hope he does well for the people, but I know from past experience (B. Clinton) they always break their promises with lame excuses. When my taxes go up you bet I'll be on this board screaming and shouting. Too much serious stuff going on in the world and I don't trust him. He has lied to us throughtout the campaign and I'm not real thrilled with people running around thinking (and actually believing) he is the messiah, and the latest I read was people said he is Moses.
So I just will say a prayer for the country tonight we're going to need all the prayers we get.
But he won and he deserves a congratulations. It was a long race. And at the same time can we please stop bashing McCain and Palin. They did the best they could and McCain gave a sincere and gracious speech with good words about Obama.
Rest easy
she'll probably have you posthumously converted and you will be okey-dokey in the hereafter. Thanks a boatload, Sis!
Easy to see just from the crashers on this board.
Unfortunately there are people who still believe the lies of Bush, even now that he's finally said something honest: That there were NO WMDs and that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.
Sorry, you just make it 'way too EASY.
.
You'll be surprised how easy it is
I cooked a Crown Roast of Pork in the D.O. once. A pineapple upside down cake is a very easy dessert to start with. I won 1st place with it the first time I entered a contest. I also make a killer Pecan Cobbler. Just got it perfected for the D.O. and will cook it in the next contest we enter. It's easy too. I made one for the bean supper fund raiser last Saturday just to see what people would think about it and based on the way people came back for seconds I'd say I've got a possible winner. With the holidays coming up if you would like the recipe...well, I love to share my recipes.
and it is way too easy to irritate the dems

It's easy...all you have to do is read the posts.
The only difference between the hate crimes in Los Angeles and the posts on the Politics and Faith forums is a can of spray paint. Using a keyboard to spew hate and intolerance is just as disgusting.
Don't mind him in my face. He's easy

Canning is sooo easy.
Just moved from a city with a population of around 4 millon to a suburb in Oregon. I live about 1 to 4 miles away from 6 farms and we have lots of Farmer Markets around. I pick all my produce and flowers from these farms during summer and fall months. I have learned how to can strawberries, peaches, blackberries, marionberries, raspberries, pears, plum jam, fig jam, tomatoes, pickles, and applesauce. Also have plenty of nuts.
I also have a huge pantry now stocked with paper products, canning good, potatoes, staple items. I tend to worry about inflation coming or even a depression.
I have been told I am a "horrible mean hoarder" on this board, but in reality, I love to help others. In fact, I am a member of the CERT and help out neighbors, family, and friends and my community, ESPECIALLY during a time like this when we know of special people and families who are hurting because of job layoffs. Our neighborhood has families with all kind of special skills and if we need to, ever down the road, we can all come together and what do you call it, bartering? We have mechanics, doctors, IT, nurses, financial, business owners, police officers, etc., and we all come together to help each other out.
Anyway, canning is very, very easy. Should try it. It is fun and I also have canning goods that I give away as Christmas gifts and people in my area and family and friends outside of the state of Oregon just LOVE these as gifts. It really saves money too all the way around.
Guess being president is any easy job.

You're so easy to wind up. LOL. nm

Easy enough to lie about being a Christian. It's called (sm)
taqiyya. Taqiyya means "lying to infidels". It is a term which means that if it is in the best interests of propagating Islam, it is morally acceptable to lie to non-Muslims.
It is not against Islam to deny your faith, especially if you can become the POTUS doing so.
He is afraid of Bill O'Reilly, it's as easy as that....
Obama can handle the butt kissing and egg shell walking of Olbermann and Matthews but when it comes down to it, Obama can't answer real questions that would be poised to him by Bill.
It is easy to label someone the anti-Christ..
if you have enough time on your hands. Here is an article asking if President Bush is the anti-Christ. People will believe what they want to.

Easy comeback. But, you know, until Obama takes
nm
Yeah, it is so easy to bash Bush, but say one little
nm
If it were oh-so-simple, wouldn't everyone be thin? Come on, it's easy sm
to ignore the psychological reasons why people overeat. Do you really think fat people enjoy being fat??
Easy way for racists to hide their truths as well
Sure seems an easy way out to say that "oh! everytime I say something about Obama people say its racism, but it's not!" What a copy out and easy way to try to hide your racism.
If you like this, it's easy using Windows Photo Story 3.
Projects like these basically take a few simple steps:
1. Find the photos.
2. Find a no-royalty music sample.
3. Stick 'em into Windows Photo Story3 and use the tools to add captions, select transitions between photos, zoom and pan effects to the photos themselves, and add audio.
You could also use Windows Movie Maker if you want to do some of this with movie clips instead of still photos.
The last step, if you want to post to YouTube, etc., is to convert the "WMV" (Windows Media) format that this will create to another format like MPEG or FLV (Flash). There are some free converters out there, as well as companies like A-One Software that have just about any converter you'd want.
Basically, a converter is a very simple piece of software that lets you import a file of one type and save it as another type.
Speaking of Fox News...Coombs let him off way toooo easy...sm
Too bad there's not a tough liberal voice on Fox. By the end of the interview with A. Coombs you would have thought Alan Coombs was the one who made these idiotic remarks not Bennett.
Whatever, he can clean this up for all of those interested. I'm not.
Don't worry JR - very easy to trounce them AND discuss the issues.
They're dumb, and they lack conviction, and they do most of the work of exposing themselves for the lackeys they are so that we don't have to spend much effort at it. I mean case in point - that the Freepers would even THINK it was a good plan to tie up liberals on chat boards to keep them from grassroots organizing. Hey, if they can get paid for it more power to them - but sheez, are they really that stupid? Or, just that desperate, heh.
