I threatened to years ago, alone with

In Reply to: Question - guns

4 kids, middle of the night, was watching the doorknob turn, and had all the kids down on the floor because the neighborhood had gotten so bad we had training at home of what to do. I had the hammer back in my angie dickinson pose, but my knees were knocking so bad I wasn't sure they heard me threaten to fire through the door. I guess they did, because they left. OMG, I was petrified. Did shoot a snack once with my .38, 2/3 shots, my first one was a total miss.

Threatened? Who was threatened?
Get REAL!!!!!!!!!  
I am not at all threatened!
I am just sick and tired of gays and lesbians thinking they have the right to discriminate against ME!

There are plenty of us that do not believe marriage is applicable except to a man and a woman, yet I am supposed to let someone else discriminate against us in order to push their agendas.

No way! You can love whomever you want, just don't try to push YOUR beliefs of what a marriage is off on me........ and yes, that is EXACTLY what you are doing!

I'm sick to death of hearing "discrimination" as if your lifestyle is somehow being discriminate against. If you want to live with someone of your same sex, then go ahead and do it and shut up about it.... I couldn't care less!

On the other hand, when, of course, that is not good enough for you either, you believe you can change the social fabric of society to suit YOU and scream discrimination. Did you ever think YOU are trying to discriminate against those that do NOT believe same sex is a marriage? Of course not!
You only want what you want when you want it and keep pushing and pushing, trying to convince people that God didn't intend man and woman to be married, not man and man or woman and woman.
Pleeeze!!! Give me a break!

Crap can fly both ways!
I don't think threatened is the word. SM
I think disturbed covers it better.  You and Libby with your screaming posts.  What's up with that? 
Then again, no one likes to be threatened, do they? SM
And isn't it a little more than silly to threaten someone physically on a chat board?  I mean, really.
Who have they threatened to kill?

I'm serious.  WHO?  I honestly don't know because I don't listen to them, either.  But if they have aired similar threats upon a group of people, then I believe they are equally wrong.


If you are offended by my liberal beliefs being posted on the LIBERAL BOARD, then perhaps you would feel more comfortable on the Conservative Board.  Just a thought.


Your safety threatened?
Who has threatened you, PK? Who is stalking you? You were just called on the carpet, and you let your paranoia take it from there.

Nobody is stalking you, and you are perfectly safe.
They are threatened by something they don't understand. nm

Like all those dems threatened to do

I think you DO feel threatened. If a same-sex
in no way, shape or form changes what you have. It doesn't change your marriage, your relationship with your partner, your rights, your income, or your perception of what marriage should be. It may 'offend' you, but it changes nothing about your life.

However, by denying a couple other than yourself the right to marry, you ARE changing their lives, their perceptions, and many other aspects of their lives. You are putting them into a category of 2nd class citizens.

If you were an African-American woman, or a Japanese-American woman, a Native American woman, or any other group of society who has had their human rights stomped on in the past, you might have some inkling of an idea of what exactly it is you are proposing by saying a gay couple has no right to marry.

If all you have going for you in life is to sit in judgement of other people, then I feel very, very sorry for you. You have a very tiny little mind, and an even tinier little heart.

Did you ever stop to think that your hatred might just come back to haunt you after you die, and YOUR 'judgement day' rolls around? You should think long and hard about that possibility, Church-Lady.
She's threatened by a strong woman, that's why.
How typical of women. To call each other 'stupid' and get catty and snipy at the thought of a woman getting farther ahead than the rest of the pack.

Palin is doing a fine job of governor. Do you think YOU could handle that? I doubt it. You sound more like the sit-in-her-kitchen-and-paint-vegetables type of gal. Yeah, I'm sure that takes a MENSA brain.

Pathetic.
Little.
Loser.
Bush threatened to cut off PBS funding..
if they didn't stop telling the truth. So, I guess it is politics as usual, right? Also, could you provide a valid link proving this accusation. I really am curious.
For this you have to wait at least 3 years and 8 months , maybe 7 years and 8 mohths...nm

Not quite- 2 years Catholic, 2 years Muslim. NM

In 100 years, no one will that's for sure. NM

...


Could be, he's never come on TV? Years ago maybe?
x
oh, okay, but he followed him for 20 years!
nm
Which was 4 years ago....

You were 16 years old once...
what if it was said about you, about your daughter if you had one....or about your mother when you were 16?.....come ON now. YOu know how vulnerable girls are at that age. That was a really really really LOW below the belt hit. Mean and nasty.
Except for the first 6 years.
In other words, 75% of the time. Even when they did, they didn't. It's kinda hard to advance a meaningful agenda when being subjected to the acid ink in the runaway veto pen.
I think it's because he's up in years
I also get the same impression, but to be realistic one must consider that she may become President if something were to happen to him. 
what, are you now 2 years old?
i just have to roll my eyes sometimes.
Well, a few years ago when we had that...
stocket market tank (all though it did not last all that long) was enough for me...took my 401K money (not a huge amount, but I need it to be there) and put it in traditional IRA's that in federally insured bank. I am not young enough to let it build back up with stock market ups and downs. Younger folks a lot more years in the work force can wait for it to build back up (and it always has), but I can't take the risk.

I don't think small private banks are at risk.

It was much worse than this when Carter was in the White House and we managed to get through that...this too shall pass. A little saying I once heard seems to sum it up...."When one door closes, another opens, but it is he11 in the hallway for awhile." :)
The only way we'd get another 8 years is

if the dems are still in control against a pub president.


I heard the above comment in either an ad or in the debate itself and I almost flipped. You don't hear much about it yet, but it will come out sooner or later (and hopefully sooner).


Yes in in the last two years
the econmy took a dive. Gas prices rose and made the price of everything soar. That is what you get under democratic leadership.
I did years ago n/m
nm
That's over three years old......you just now
X
For 2 years out of 8

I'm sure you will be for the next 4 years
all the way to the bank with other people's hard earned money...
maybe in 100 years

Our kids will tell stories about us working six days a week, all hours of the day and night to stay at home with them.  About how we had no health insurance, but somehow we managed to pay those hospital bills.  How the mortgage broker tried to get us to refinance one more time, but we saw through the scam.  How did we ever make a car payment for 5 years without going crazy?  How we competed with workers in a virtual world and still managed to out produce them. Maybe they will think that we were pretty tough too.  I think we are!


Just the first of many to come in the next 4 years....
sorry, I have to raise taxes; sorry, I have to continue the war in Iraq; sorry, I can't provide healthcare for everyone; sorry, I have to change the constitution; sorry, I can't keep any of the promises I made while campaigning; sorry, I have no experience dealing with terrorists, sorry, I fooled you into voting for me.
GP, my DH and I have been saying this for years. sm
We have long been advocates of sending the illegals back, closing our borders, cut the pork, etc. I am so glad there are others out there. This is going to my sens and reps. Especially as DH gave them all an earful yesterday. We need everybody out there to send this along.
I don't have 10-20 years. I have 4

unless I want to work until I'm 70 or 80. What kind of mind will i have then? Will I be able to figure out what a doc is saying?


I'll probably be one of those homeless people in another 10 years unless they straighten out all the problems. I certainly will not be able afford the taxes we pay on our property, even though it's free and clear of a mortgage.  At tha rate they expect taxes to rise, I'll be out on the streets.


The O will not be able to stop it. There's too many factors changing the economy. I'm just hoping things wil l straighten out, but I no longer have any faith in our government, no matter who runs the country. The so-called respresentaves are only out for themselves in the past few years and it doesn't matter who's in charge.


Write your congressmen or senators and what do you get? A "canned" letter that they will take your suggestions "under consideration"  and  "are doing whatever they can to fix the situation".  I'm tired of  it.  It's the same old, same old.


O has reneged on some of his promises already. He spoke in all those other countries when he was running for prez (and isn't there a law against going to a foreign country to make promises(?) if he becomes president? He smoothed over so many countires that they thought they were finally going to get a prez that would straighten out the U.S. and all of a sudden, he is for Israel and against the Muslin terrorists communities. "Scuse me, butl lying to other ountries doesm't cut it.


I can only hope that O will keep some of his other promises bvut I don't see how he can with the economy the way it is at this pointl So all those people who voted for O with the hope of change (remember those who stated they would not have to worry about their mortgage, etc.), it ain't gonna happen.


O is a smooth talker and I almost fell for his ideas, but when I started to really think about it, there's no way he can accomplish all he plans to do, even in 8 yeras.


Well, I'll get off my soap box now. These opinions are mine and mine alone. You may not agree with my thoughts, but there's no reason to bash me for my honest opinion.


 


Yes, I am better off than I was 8 years ago...(sm)
However, since two years ago and the advent of the democratic congress, I am a tad worse....

but still better than the Clinton years.


Bracing for getting even worse under the O.


It's a fact that the economy always downturns under a democratic congress....double whammy with a democrat in the white house, too.....oh joy, what a ride we're all in for.
Yes, I am better off than I was 8 years ago...(sm)
However, since two years ago and the democratic majority in congress, I am a bit worse, down 20% in earnings.

But still much, much better than the Clinton years.


Bracing for getting even worse under Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Franks, and that whole lot.


It's a fact of economics, that there is always a downturn under a democratic congress....double whammy with a democrat in the white house, too.....oh joy, what a ride we're all in for.
Where were you for the first 6 years
Perhaps you were the one on another planet. Their failures led to the Dems getting control of Congress in the first place.
he's 10 years old

you total doofus. Make him a villain.  Guess Art Linkletter was an enabler.


 


Yes, but how many years did it take?

According to the chart you posted, it took 5 years for it to take effect. People don't have 5 years. They are drowning now.


Some of the stimulus package plans have government programs in that supposedly are to be taken over by the states after 3 years. How can the states absorb these $$ when they're drowning already?


Now, this morning, I heard on the news that they may be nationalizing some banks and, no, it wasn't Fox. I also saw a clip where O was being interviewed by Tim Russert in 1996 and O stated he was NOT going to run for president in 2008. He was elected as a Senator of Illinois and that was going to be his job.   He flipped pretty quick, didn't he?


Throughout the years...
I've seen several documentaries on TV about this kind of behavior in Mexico.  The kidnappings and murderings have been going on for quite some time really.  However, they are getting much worse.  Government is losing to the drug cartel and the country is about to go bankrupt.  I would seriously warn anyone considering going to Mexico.  This isn't all fun and games.  This isn't the time for "that couldn't possibly happen to me" attitudes.  This is serious stuff.  Stay the heck out of Mexico!
Well he was 8 years old.......
11 years ago before there was so much talk about all of this.  When I was 8 years old I had a little boyfriend that I would hold hands with, etc.  Well, I'm not sure I could call it an "attraction" but I knew I wanted a boyfriend, not a girlfriend.  He knew he wanted a boyfriend even at that young age.  He is 19 now.
Several years ago
my dad said to dig a canal across the US/Mexico border and fill it with allegators.  LMAO!
Maybe I should have said 35 to 40 years ago...
... i.e. at the height of the hippie "free love" era. I know I certainly heard it a LOT from some of the people around me; although I wonder now that I am old and cynical whether the girls blew off marriage as a "piece of paper" 'cause the guys persuaded them that a piece of paper wasn't necessary to prove their love, thus neatly paving the way to duck out of the relationship later, at will, bypassing those pesky legal entanglements....

And for what it's worth, Donny Osmond never did float my boat; by the time he came along I had long since outgrown his apparent demographic.
More like he's had it done to him for years.
EX: "I hope Obama fails."

Taken completely out of context of what he actually said, but continues to be the main bashing point.
When? Only these four years, maybe, when he was
in Jakarta, at the age of 7 to 11, attending a CATHOLIC school!

You do your homework, I did mine!
these 8 (eight) years over!...nm
nm
Go back 5 years...
Change Bush to Clinton...see a similarity.
We can't wait a few years. Someone needs to......sm
do something to get these parasites out of the White House now.
yes.......I've been following this for years......
So many people in this country don't have a clue what freebies are being handed out. I have seen in my own work doctors questioning how a person who has been in this country for over 30 years, can't speak English at all, and manage to get SSI even. They bring an INTERPRETOR with them when asked questions and then beat around the bush when asked what jobs they have held down, while they sit in the doctor's office complaining they can't work because of disabilities. Yea right!!!! The doctor knows they are here illegally but what can he/she do?
When you look at the gangs in Los Angeles alone, 80 thousand plus, all Latino gangs, illegal from other countries, Mexico, El Salvador, etc., walking the streets, terrorizing the neighborhoods, and we pay for more officers to patrol the streets and get this, they have to ask permission from these thugs to "document" their tattooes, as each tattoo has some gang meaning. 80,000 plus gangs in one city alone. WHat happens when you have these many illegals running the show in a city, you have chaos and fear, the same thing they are doing on the border towns in the U.S., terrorizing citizens, running the show, and we sit around worrying about their rights? What rights? They have no rights? If we would stop quivering like a bunch of babies, go out and round them up like the jackasses they are, and find a way to get rid of them. If their countries won't take them back, and why would they want them either, why should we house and feed their sorry butts. I live in the deep south and we are hearing of them actually branching out their gangs to come into the south because they believe people in the south are dumb and slow and they can infiltrate the area to do their drug dealing and go undetected. I have news for them.....they haven't been on the interstate near our town lately. DEA sits all over the place waiting to stop truckers carrying illegals as well as the drugs they carry and they have already stopped major drug trafficking in this area. It sickens me. I have no pity for people who have no care for human life, only greed of money any way they can get it. They laugh at us....we open up a major thoroughfare from Mexico into the US for truckers and don't think they will use this as a green flag for illegal trafficking of all kinds? We are to blame for not putting an end to it, however that may need to be.

I am not a Republican....but two years is...
plenty of time for the Democrat majority to have done SOMETHING...and they have done nothing...including taking their vacation instead of voting on an energy bill and they claim to care about gas prices. Pardon me if I doubt their sincerity.

I am not a Democrat either. But I know Barack Obama is as much or more invested in Europe as he is in the US, and that does not give me a warm and fuzzy. His Chicago connections, his voting record, his writings, his wife's writings, his pastor, his friends...all of those things send up huge red flags to me. What he is saying now is not anything like what his history and life have been to this point. So I don't trust him. He is way left of Clinton...most liberal voting record in the senate.

McCain has butted heads with Bush several times over the years...he is not a repeat of Bush. All one has to do is look at his record, if one is so inclined. He is not my favorite either; I have some issues with him as well. However, I know he would protect this country and I am not so sure Obama would.

The best thing I can say about George W. Bush is thank God he was President when we were attacked on 9-11, and not Kerry!
This man spent 5 years of sm

his life in the Hanoi Hilton as a prisoner and he didn't walk away from serving his country?  Now he is worth waiting in line for.  Rock stars come and go.  Patriots are here to stay.


 


Maybe she will run for the top spot in 4 years...who knows??
Yeahhhh.
We have had 2 years of a democratically....
controlled Congress, which is where the laws are made, and also the congress who has the lowest approval ratings ever recorded. So does that make everyone who votes for a Democratic for congress this round a moron?
