about what she would do if she were elected president.  I hoped that would bring about an INTELLIGENT discussion.  Instead  the board is  taken over by the rabid Republicans who seem incapable of thinking for themselves.  I give up.  They'll still be blaming the "Democrats" when they become homeless.  Oh well...................

Greetings Zville

While searching for alternate viewpoints that are issues-and- solutions oriented and dialog void of acrimony, it is gratifying to know that I wouldn’t have to go far to find that.  Along with TT112OldTimer, you have demonstrated that it is possible to raise issues and concerns of diverse perspectives that do not seek to offend. 


It was not my intent to depict all Republicans, conservatives or rt-wingers into the category of description that I was relating to Sam.  You are right to say my post reads that way and that the statement was too broad.  The injection of “some” or “a rare few” would been more accurate.  Sam has said it herself….it happens in the heat of the moment.  I think we both appreciate it when someone steps forward to point this out, much the same way that Lucy was doing in her remark below.  She was able to reduce down to 6 simple words what I have been trying to say all along….“You are just insulting each other.”  Any valid points get lost in space in that setting.


I also appreciate the interest you express in some of the stories I have tried to use as illustrations.  I’m sorry I am signing off as well, but I’m like you.  I have not been able to get any real response to the issues of interest and can’t think of any other effective way to “cool off” the situation without removing the fight-fest forum. 


I’m not going far.  After I find a job and have recovered from this word war, I’ll resurface under an AKA.  If you really want to correspond with GT/GW/BW, feel free to send an email.  I am not exactly sure how to exchange email address information on this forum (never done it), but I will try to find out, just to satify my own curiosity.


Again, thanks for your post.   


To Zville
A few more resources have been entered under you post below. 
Thanks Zville MT
There is so much out there sometimes its hard to know where to go. I'll check the links out.
Thanks Zville MT
I ended up getting so frustrated I shut it down earlier. Don't know why I even came back, guess I'm a glutton to see who else was going to join the bandwagon.

I don't know how many times I had to repeat myself that I made a mistake but that was not good enough for them. Guess they all figured it was too fun to bash.

I can take as much as I dish out, but that grain of salt was starting to irritate like sandpaper.

I will stick by what I believe in though. Not saying I won't be making mistakes in the future but unlike others at least I'll admit when I'm wrong. Thanks for the kind words.
ZVille

Bravo for your post!!!!


What in the world is murderer Ted Kennedy still doing in office?  Drowning a female wasn't enough to keep him out.  Now, he's got a malignant brain tumor.  That's not affecting his decision-making?  Not that he's ever really made a great decision in his pitiful life.


Term limits should be applied to both the Senate AND the House.  And what's really sad?  A senator who serves only 1 term gets something like a $40,000-60,000 pension for life once he is out of office.  Heck, I'd like to just make that in one year. It makes me sick.  As Thomas Jefferson once said (I'm paraphrasing), Every generation needs a revolution.  I'm all for getting as many people together as possible to go to DC with signs that say "Remember The Boston Tea Party?" and having each person put one teabag in the Potomic.  Of course, we'd all be in jail for littering............


Two years from now, we will be able to live solely off my husband's income.  If O hasn't ruined medicine completely by then, I'm going to nursing school. 


Zville definitely not the only
one who feels that way. 
Thanks for the link Zville
I hadn't seen it before now.

I guess she was trying to make a funny, but there's got to still be a lot of hurt and resentment underneath her cool demeanor, don't you think? I can't imagine that she's completely forgiven and forgotten.

I don't think the place or situation was inappropriate for the simple fact that the whole world knows the sordid story anyway. I hope her comment made him feel uncomfortable, though.
And you know, Zville, as I recall, at one
point in his life, Mr. Obama was addicted to some form of illegal drug, and I don't believe it was a prescription drug. I don't recall if he ever went through any type of rehab or not like Rush did.
I forgot to say thank you & to Zville MT too
For thanking me for giving my time in the Army. It means a lot when people do thank you and I'll bet those soldier's you stop in the street are surprised. It's people like you that make it worth giving our time. Unlike some of my sh!* relatives who like to tell me that I was too stup!d to go to college and only joined the military because only "uneducated people join the service". So here I sit as an MT getting paid pretty well and he is now unemployed with a degree he is still paying for but can't find any work. When he told me how uneducated and stup!d I was I just said to him "Do you like the fancy clothes you wear? Do you like that nice fancy car you drive? The nice restaurant's you eat at? You enjoy all those freedoms? Well you can thank me and the hundreds of thousands of others who fought for your freedoms". I would never say anything like that to anyone because in no way am I better than anyone who doesn't joint the service. It's all a matter of preference, but he just made me so mad. Then a couple days later I told him that I went down to the local recruiter and submitted his name to join the service and he should be receiving a call soon (I didn't really do that, just wanted to see the look on his face) - which put a great big huge smile on my face. He told me he'll tell them that he has a heart condition and can't join. I told him that I also told the recruiters he would be saying that to and pay no attention to him because he is a healthy fine young man. So, I got my satisfaction, especially since every time the phone rings he yells out that he's not here. Am I bad or what. Maybe in a couple days I'll tell him the truth and tell him he deserved it for calling me stup!d and uneducated.
Amen, Zville MT, Amen
That is a great idea. They should have to live like us so they have a clue what we are going through.
Wow, I can't believe you posted that. sm
considering all else you have posted on these boards.  LOLOLOLOL!!!  Man oh man!
who posted it?
I suspect it was the person who goes under the name Brunson who posted the Army mom post as in the post it talks about C-Span and I kind of thought..mmmmm..this is just one of those crazy right wingers posting to start stuff..So right after the post came through, I checked out the right wing board and Brunson was posting the same thing about checking out C-Span today.  Coincidence?  I dont think so..Two posters within one minute posting about checking out C-Span today? 
She posted this as a
She stated above the reference to the Clinton body count and that it was a conspiracy theory.  The statement of someone above *It seems that people that sue Bush turn up in bad health or dead* is every bit as much a conspiracy theory as this.  Someone on both boards has been trying to spam us with conspiracy theories for days now none of which have an ounce of substance or actual fact behind them.  Most of us can see the difference between conspiracy and an actual story with facts behind them.  It's really hard to get away with conspiracy theories when there is so many facts out there on the net.
This has been posted before. sm

And is in no way or shape complete or accurate.  Rumsfeld served 3 years.  You think a flight instructor is a small job?  That's pretty telling.  Clinton dodged the draft by deferring for a ROTC duty, which he never fulfilled after writing his famous loathing of the military letter. So if we are going to post these lists again and again, let's get it right.


Well, as I posted before...
...it's probably good that you love something, even if it's based on cruelty and mockery. 
Do you really mean what you just posted?
Do you actually liken Gitmo to the Hanoi Hilton? Seriously??
Yes, I just posted it too, right after you. sm
It brought tears to my eyes, that the Obama campaign could do such a thing.

And tears that McCain cares more, quite obviously, of our country and it's symbol.



Sorry. This should be posted
nm
yes! I posted below. Don't let

the Fox zombies drown out the truth on this board. Bless you.


 


When I first posted
I did not know who it was benefitting. I later found out it was benefitting Obama. Either way if it was benefiting McCain I'd still be saying this is not right. 11/4 is voting day. I'd say a sure fire way to comit fraud on the democrats side. Do the right thing and vote on 11/4.
I don't think they have posted the new one....
if they have, I can't find it.
This should have been posted under
nm
I posted before that I liked it better
when it was two boards, a liberal board and a conservative board. More intelligent discussion and less mudslinging back then. Three boards would be great, liberal, conservative and politics for anyone that just want to keep pubbing and demning as you say.
Not the OP who posted........sm
about "the reality of O" but my take on this phrase is that when he takes office and starts bringing to pass things that conservatives have been concerned about (detention/"reeducation" centers, civil army, further division of America, etc.), that will be "the reality of O." In other words, he will be revealed to be the charlatan that the liberals refuse to believe he is. Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong, but I really believe this country has made probably the single biggest mistake in our history.
that is exactly why I posted it...n/m
x
I DID! I posted below too!
Sheesh!
I know what I posted.
x
Seeing as this was posted 11/13
And today is 11/17, I would say its a new article.

It's actually more than one person's opinion of Obama. One person may have written the article but thousands and thousands agree with him. Truth hurts.
It may be old to you but I had not seen it until I posted
So what.
you posted it as something

that would delight you.  Coward.  can;t even stand by your own messages.


 


I will say this again. I posted here because

the Red Envelope Project is a political protest again a godless president and his administration.  It is Obama who wants babies murdered on a global scale and wants U. S. taxpayers to fund it. 


The next Red Envelope project will be defending the lives of the elderly, the infirm, the physically challenged, both children and adults, who will not receive healthcare benefits under a universal healthcare system, who will be mandated to have lifesaving measures withheld.  Rationed care.  Will you protest if it is your mother, father, sister, brother or will you say it's their "choice"? 


This is Obama's agenda.  He is a president of death.  Red Envelope Project is a political protest supporting life and its participants are not all Christian.  Do you think it only Christians who think abortion is murder?  If you do, then you are totally uninformed.


Ob, but you do and you just posted it
.
I just posted this elsewhere...
About a friend's dad who recently died. lived in England and was denied CABG because he was too old. how old? He was 55 when he died. His physician admitted CABG would probably have saved his life but TOO OLD at age 55, so they let him die. Yes, we have problems with our system of health care, but at 55 I sure don't think I am too old to be worth saving! I don't want the government telling my physician what he can and cannot do in providing my care nor does my physician want this. I want my physician to make decisions that are based only on what I need to maintain my health, not what some governmental body tells him. And you can bet you bippy if your last name is Clinton, Obama, Pelosi, etc., etc., you won't be denied that CABG, only if your name is smith or Jones or the like.
And I also posted before that I think
gay sex and polygamy are wrong, but I am more lenient to polygamy, but NO groupsex, even animals don't do this.

This is more animalistic than animals behave.

I wish my brother/law will marry me in case my husband dies.

He could, but it is not a MUST.
I posted it for others to see.

And to straighten out where the "spook"/"spooked" reference came from, that it DIDN'T come from the liberals, as you suggested, but it instead came from bigoted Republicans as part of their mailing.


I don't care if you're angry or happy as a clam.


I don't care if you're white, black or purple.


It's 2009, and the south has a rich history of racism.  The only thing to me that is relevant about colors is that the Southern Republicans are showing their true ones, and I don't want them to stop, either. 


The only thing they've got going for them is fear.  If Cheney isn't lucky enough to see America hit a second time, then the best next thing is to divide and conquer.  That might have worked in the 1950s, but it's not working any more.


I'm actually eager for them to continue to be their true selves and show the rest of America and the world the sludge they're made of.


That's my opinion, and it has nothing to do with you or your race.


many facts posted
I have posted many facts, you just dont see them as fitting into whatever beliefs you have.  A closed mind is a terrible thing.  Open your mind to possibilities.  Half this country and many parts of the world believe as I do.  You know, when I think of the real true republican party, I think of the party of Lincoln but right now it has morphed into the party of radical christian extremists..
Did you even read what you posted!
The last paragraph says it all.  Obviously some thought went into this and do you really think if he was NOT an atheist, he would not have sued by now.  There were 49,000 Google hits. I am not going to do your work for you.   At any rate, I don't care if you believe it or not. It makes no difference to me. 
It's sad you posted this in this manner.
It's obvious you posted it to make a political point.  It doesn't change my opinion about Pat Tillman.  Why would he give up a million dollar career in sports to pursue a war he felt illegal?  I am not sure you can explain that.  At any rate, He is a hero to me no matter what.  His reasons are not sticking in the throats of any conservatives I know of.  We will have to take Mrs. Tillman's word for what she is saying. Pat is not here to reinforce it. 
I'm glad you posted this. Thanks! nm

Ooops - posted by me,

I only posted one story. sm
And the subject, to me, is Ward Churchill has his deception, not AIM.  I would think as an OP, you would be more in tune to what the OP publications are saying about him. 
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.





You are so right. I haven't posted here
for this very reason. Certain posters (you know who you are) will come here to bash posts even when they are addressed to liberals. Apparently it doesn't matter to them that the moderator has repeatedly asked them not to do so and they can't seem to resist the urge to come over to this board when, in fact, they have their own. They've done it to me, they've done it to PK and others. Good luck to you...it's too bad, 'cause they ruin the discussion for everyone else and it gets to the point where it just isn't worth it.
The last paragraph is why I posted it.
I am not at all convinced that the issue of abortion is a liberal or conservative stance. I think it tends to be tied to conservative because of its religious roots, but even that is debatable. Women throughout history regardless of religion have been having abortions. I believe it simply to be your own belief that really should not be attached to a political process.

As war is always a political process, the comparison isn't really fair is it? and I really, really hope that you are not referring to the war on Iraq because there is just too much refuting evidence to continue to believe we were justified in invading Iraq in the guise that we were defending ourselves.

How can you be pro-choice in the voice of war knowing that the very nature of it kills more people than abortion ever could? Just the war in Iraq alone has probably killed more people than the abortions in the United States in the past 100 years.

Makes no sense to me.
DW, if you will look at the article I posted....
you will see some of your concerns addressed. I think the link piglet posted in her original post, where she went searching for more on Camp Cropper....that link has to do with something else, not Camp Cropper. Two different persons in charge. At any rate, Camp Cropper sends kids outside the detention area to school taught by Iraqis, not Americans, just a more moderate view of Islam also not the militant jihadist kind. It says that Sunni and Shiite teens are starting to interact and the hatred seems to be disappearing. And, as piglet rightfully pointed out regarding Venezuela and how the young people were effecting the change...so can it be in Iraq, because that is where it starts, correct? And it sounds like this commander over this detention center, with the help of Iraqi teachers, is doing just that. Not trying to convert them from Islam, just give them a different view of Islam and a choice other than violence. As you say, they are the future of the Middle East, and I think the school that Camp Cropper uses is the way to help that happen. As the Iraqi principal said...mostly they are just kids wanting to be kids. And if we can turn a few of them from jihad and toward reconciliation within their own country, then I think it is well worth the effort.

Have a good day!
I merely posted who they are and what their agenda is...
that is not attacking the messenger. That is presenting the other side. Why do you object to presenting the other side?
Again as I posted earlier
UAW was offered pay rates as they are paid to American workers who work in the U.S. for foreign auto companies, i.e. workers in Indiana who work for Honda and Toyata. This would surely NOT be the same as our working for the same rates as Indian MTs. That would be crazy. Don't even suggest it.
TRASH is all you have posted.....
Talk about venomous and spitting like a run over cat.........you have spewed nothing but nasty, tasteless, useless blobs of opinion - NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE - Ignorance doesn't cover it - dumb does.
Consider these words you posted.....
is about. Chances are greater than ever now that Americans are waking up and seeing who is the safest choice for president and vice-president in this election, JM and SP, by far!!! Opposition is struck by horror and fear!

***The GOP convention has also caused a flood of cash to come Obama's way as many lethargic donors focused on the potential horror of a McCain/Palin presidency.***
You foolishly think I posted before the one above yours here...sm
above mine. I posted once on this thread....good grief

get your posters right.


I only said one thing, one post....stop confusing yourself.
I posted about enemies...sm
someone else posted about terrorists.



Same thing.


Still can't reason with them.





Yes, he's an idget.
