My post was about gt's slamming
gt was the one I was complaining about slamming the board with extreme left-wing, president bashing articles which is TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR and UNPATRIOTIC during a time when our country is in crisis. You don't have to like our president, but you have no idea what kind of pressure he's under right at the moment, and how all the fingerpointing is making his job that much harder. I don't think it is out of line at all to ask people to act like adults and put their energies into helping those in need. This could be a place for networking on how to best help the suffering. I haven't seen many posts on this board (except for Lurker's lone one) routing people to charities for giving or anything. People on the conservative board are talking about how you can help and how they can help but you all, as usual, are whining about the president! Some of you people are about to sink to the level of some of those in New Orleans who are shooting rescuers, because you are absolutely adding NOTHING of value to the situation. You are only creating an atmosphere of hostility which is very counterproductive in a desperate time as this.
Them? They? Who are you addressing this post to

The post was addressing someone else's son, not Cindy's, I believe.

Whatever. How about addressing the actual issues I raised in my post for a change? (NT)

This poster is not slamming. nm
Can something be done to keep one person from slamming the board
and totally dominanting it? This is ridiculous.
Yep, I knew it would go from slamming her kids to
nm
Poster who implies anyone wanted officers shot was certainly slamming.
And if they did not mean to do it - which I doubt - they need to rethink their delivery if they don't want to be continually misunderstood (though I also doubt they were).
and this changes the content how?
nm
Obviously you do not read my posts for content.
I said pull out the military. How does that translate to pulling out all together? Abandonment was never uttered.
Where is it written that the US military is the only one who can provide protection?
I bet that if it were proposed to the UN and some of our friends in the nether regions of the intention to pull the military out of Iraq to concentrate on the rebuild, we would probably get more protective support than we are getting now.
I don't believe it would be painful to the Iraqi people to have running water, clean food, and less bomb attacks do you?
What content? All I see is more Repub vs. Dem bashing.
Source discredits content.
One clear signal voters are sending this time around is that they no longer buy into NeoCon extremist viewpoints. The republican party is also trying desperately to distance itself from the right fringe of its own party via "diva," "rogue," and "whack job" perjoratives used to describe the VP pick and McCain's poor judgment. Repubots unite and flame away...will not change a thing.
Let's not. Divert, bas, name-call to ur heart's content.
Seems like you are the only one who is allowed to dominate this board. This is what democracy looks like. Deal.
Your Jehovah has to frown upon the tone and content sm
of your original post. Why are you not relying on your faith that your Jehovah will take care of you and why not pray for peace and safety for us throughout this transition, if your Jehovah is your president and leader? From your original post you have no faith much less religion besides being led and guided by the devil. Really and truly how can you say the words you said in your original post and then speak of your Jehovah. Such a sad day and time, you sound as if you hate President-Elect Obama.
My God tells me that I will be okay because he will surely take care of me, regardless of who is President.
I thought lewd pornographic content is not allowed here...nm
Logic and common sense tell me the content of this message
Our government agencies tend to err on the side of caution in these circumstances. I do agree that votes will not and should not be swayed one way or the other. I just found this to be a fascinating piece of news.
Thank you for addressing an
issue that so many people turn a blind eye to. In my experience, the people I saw living the "good" life on welfare were mainly single mothers, people who were mentally ill and couldn't hold down a job or were disabled. I didn't see any fancy cars, fancy clothes or even a shred of self-esteem. Judging welfare recipients hasn't changed in the last 30 years - they are all lazy and life is so good they don't want to work. Dead wrong. When something happens to you that forces you to ask for help, I hope you remember the nasty things you said. Karma has a way of coming back around.
Investigate credit cards donations to your heart's content.
Hamas information?
You are not addressing my point. sm
We have known for decades that genocide was occurring in Iraq. I know perfectly well this war was not about genocide. What I am saying is, Clinton chose not to get involved in Rwanda, but did get involved in other incursions where genocide, namely Bosnia, was occurring. How does one choose?
The ad isn't addressing whether or not he was guilty
but rather his poor judgment.
Of course. Were I addressing the comment
for starters, we wouldn't be buried under the slimey mud discussing "anal" We'd be informed and legitimate discourse on pertinent issues.
he said there was already a law in Illinios addressing this -nm

I was addressing that to the people
who have contributed to all of this viciousness (and they know who they are). I didn't vote in the last election because I felt the same way. I'm understand that the abortion issue is that important to you. I myself believe women have a right to decide what to do with their bodies and nobody else. Would I have an abortion? Probably not, but I do believe it should be my decision only.
I was only addressing the question I asked below. SM
Which was never answered. I do not believe I have addressed Hillary at all.
I have no interest in addressing your name calling, but
I will just say here that, once again, Peggy Noonan is spot-on. If you read the Conservative board with any regularity at all, it should come as no surprise that conservatives often disagree with GWB's spending; this is one of the two principal areas of disagreement that have been discussed over the past couple of years on the board. The other is border control.
At present, as Ms. Noonan says, he is better than the last alternative. He's also the only game in town as of right now, but he does need to be cautious about being too laissez-faire about alienating the conservative base.
IMHO, unless the Republicans come up with a candidate who is truly a fiscal conservative and is willing to prioritize and cut spending, he is setting Republicans up for another 1992 - a third party candidate siphoning off conservative votes and handing the election to the Democrats. Also IMHO (this will come as no surprise), that would not be a good thing.
Back to the Conservative board....sorry to intrude here, but I can't resist Peggy Noonan.
I thought you said Obama was addressing his
just trying to clarify it for you. You seem to be easily led..... oops, misled.
Uh-oh. Obama is directy addressing rescue plan for the economy. .
In the absence of a direct response from the bankrupt McCain campaign, dems better take cover and ride out the next avalanche of hate speech that looms on the horizon.
I am addressing racism in general & some of the racial words that were used on this board earlier (s
I am not an Obama supporter specifically because of his pastor's racial biases against white people and because I disagree with Obama's stance on partial birth abortion. I am against racism in all forms. I am against Obama's terrorist friends, I am very unhappy about the church Obama attended for 20 years. I am voting for McCain ONLY to vote against Obama because I do not want him to be our president. Both candidates have a lot of bad history & I wish there was another option. However, I love people of all races. You are making this into a racial election. I want to leave racial terms like "towelhead" and "oreo" and "halfbreed" off of this board. Do you find those words necessary to make your points? If so, your vocabulary and mind are obviously very limited.
P.S. Please scroll down after reading above post. Washington Post article included.

Oops, meant to post this under the loose trolls post...
I'm going to keep ignoring these troll posts. It's kind of fun, actually, just pretend you don't see them.
Post the direct link. I don't see the post you're referring to.

The post I quoted was the entire post. It was not taken out of context. sm
I imagine there are as many emotions and thoughts going on with our troops as possible and each does not feel the same as the other, which is obvious by the posts here.
Sorry gourdpainter, my other post should have been under the wacky Pakistan post (nm)

Why did you post this? Republicans have been asked NOT to post here..Bye Bye.
Why did you post this? Happy Thanksgiving is enough but to be so happy we have a republican president? Why did you post that? I would like to remind you, you are on the liberal board. Are you trying to start trouble? If so, let me know and I will report you immediately. No, Im not happy we have a republican president, a warmonger chickenhawk president. Does that answer your question? Now, go back to the republican board. We dont want you here and actually the moderator and administrator have asked republicans not to post here..Bye..bye..
Forgot to post a link in 1st post. Sorry.

Please refer me to any post where I referred to either the post...
or the poster as ignorant. And I certainly never sunk to the levels you did at the top of the post, against a man who is ill in a wheelchair. Pot calling the kettle black...?
I re-read your post, and I stand by my post.
You are twisting his words by saying that he wants to make friends with terrorists. That is not what he said.
Ya gotta understand the rules. We have to post on this board only. They can post on any board they
The above post explains a lot about everything else you post!
Your revelation about being married to a career Army guy explains why your views are skewed so drastically to the far right! I thought it had to do with small-town Pennsylvania, but now I truly understand where you are coming from. Thank you for explaining that us. We will read your posts in a completely different light now that we know the truth.
If you want to post something on the subject, post
objective views. This is a one-sided publication that asks for donations to keep it going. Nothing I read in there posts anything against any democrats, just republicans. It is not a fair-minded reporting.
I like to read both sides of the aisle but this publication spews hatred for anything not democratic in order to sell books. To those who can't see both sides, this blog, or publication as they like to state, is just up their aisle. I shake my head at one-sided news. Taken from their web site:
"Indeed, a founding idea of the Consortium for Independent Journalism was that a major investment was needed in journalistic endeavors committed to honestly informing the American people about important events, no matter what the political and economic pressures.
While we are proud of the journalistic contribution that this Web site has made over the past decade – and while we are deeply grateful to our readers whose contributions have kept us afloat – we also must admit that we have not made the case well enough that this mission is a vital one.
Robert Parry broke many of the Iran-Contra stories in the 1980s for the Associated Press and Newsweek. His new book, Secrecy & Privilege: Rise of the Bush Dynasty from Watergate to Iraq, can be ordered at secrecyandprivilege.com. It's also available at Amazon.com, as is his 1999 book, Lost History: Contras, Cocaine, the Press & 'Project Truth.' "
I second your post and 'watcher's post
is misinformed crap.
My post was a direct answer to the direct post...
of Democrat. It was not a blank open-ended statement. And dial it back a notch...it is certainly your right to protest anything any time you want to. Just like it is my right to protest you protesting while men and women are still in harm's way, because you are in effect aiding the enemy. Apparently the Viet Nam experience taught you nothing. Americans protesting in the streets heartened the enemy and when they were about to surrender decided not to, based a lot upon what was happening in the American streets. I believe that the protesting in that war prolonged the war and cost more American lives. Hanoi Jane should have been tried for treason. That being said...lessons were not learned and the protestors are doing the exact same thing now. Exercising the very right bought for them by shedding of American military blood. And I still say common courtesy should keep people out of the streets and off the TV until the military are home safe. But it just proves the same thing to me over and over...the selfISHhness of the protestors vs. the selfLESSness of the military. They continue to put it all on the line for your right to protest anything you want to protest...it is up to YOU to decide where and when that is appropriate, and it is up to you to take the heat for same. It is up to me and others like me (in my opinion) to apply that heat. Go ahead and do whatever your conscience or lack thereof moves you to do. But do not expect those of a different mind not to protest the protest.
Thanks for the post. I think I will look up that
article.
And thanks for pointing out all the other "results" of his administration that, as you say, benefit nobody but the rich and/or the corporations or, as he himself once publicly bragged, "his base."
I know for a fact that when he ran for President in 2000, I told every single person I knew that if he becomes President, we're going to go to war with Iraq. (Nobody's gonna treat his daddy like Saddam did and get away with it.)
I didn't have a crystal ball. I had common sense and a good memory from the Gulf War when his father was President and how he didn't "finish the job." Seems a lot of other Americans forgot about that.
I really enjoyed reading your post and all the facts you raised that I failed to raise in mine. Thanks for the mention of the LA Times article. I'm going to try to look that up on the web. 
I know they don't. I said that in my post. NM

Actually, that post is right on. sm
You sound like a total lunatic, out of control and full of hatred. You sound like someone who could do just what "vs" says. You had best take a look at your behavior. YOUR posts are the ones who should be reported. You are one frightening person.
Re your post
From your post:
"Did you read Mein Kampf? Would that be good enough evidence for you, because he wrote about it in there."
Wrote about what? That the Jews were socialists?
This is an entirely different post.
Really wasn't directed to you anyhow.
your post is just sad
I'm actually feeling sad for you right now gt. You obviously don't know what Christianity is about. Pat Robertson does not speak for me, and I don't endorse what he said. I'm sorry you are so bitter and hate filled that you would wish anyone to burn in hell. There are some evil people in this world but my first wish for them is that they find Christ and turn from their evil ways with His help. I too hope one day you find Christ, gt, and quit letting misguided Christians and Christian leaders keep you from HIM. Their blunders are not worth your eternal soul.
thank you for your post
What a great post, so heartfelt and I thank you for it.
Yes I do. see my post below. nm
