Award
You get a gold star for playing in your own playground, but demerits for playing not being nice and bashing visitors who are just trying to have a conversation with you.
Your post wins the BEST COMEBACK award!
;D
Most significantly out of control post of the day award goes to gt. Geesh! nm
Sam is getting the same disrespect
It's been a long time coming. The same thing you are feeling about Palin has been going on about Obama for months....mostly generated or perpetuated. She would run Obama supporters off the board for weeks at a time. Finally, enough is enough and they are voicing their intolerance to the intolerance. At least there are 2 sides to the story showing up. Go back through the archives around June and July and you will see what I am talking about. It's not pretty, but this is better than the board being dominated by sam preaching to the choir.
An utter disrespect...
and sad statement is made in this video.
No disrespect to McCain but... s/m
The fact that a person was an unfortunate POW does not necessarily make one presidential material, it makes them an unfortunate POW. In reality throughout recent history most presidents with strong military backgrounds have made very poor presidents, such as Eisenhower, Churchill and the like. Their area of expertise in mainly regarding military matters with a lack and inability to graps other very important issues that face a president.
McCain's selling point is that he was a POW and that alone qualifies him for the job of president. It does not, and other than mattes military McCain has a rather weak grasp on other very vital issues.
Disrespect is nothing new on your side...
and it is not just directed at me, and to suggest so is being dishonest at best. You tolerate no opinion other than your own, want to discuss only issues that you are pro and do not tolerate discussion of any other viewpoint, and for people who call themselves Democrats that is a very undemocratic attitude. You hate an entire group of people (all Republicans...well I should say anyone who is not Democrat) for no reason other than that. Two sides? That's rich! There have never been 2 sides.
As to domination of the board....there are about 6 or 8 of you guys to 1 of mine. lol. Talk about blinders.
No disrespect...just not impressed.
Every man and woman in the military risks the possibility of becoming a prisoner of war at one time or another. The enemy does not pick only the "special" soldiers to be their prisoners. They take whomever they can get their grubby little hands on!
No disrespect taken, Kaydie.... sm
I certainly mean that. Respectful discourse is helpful in understanding other's points of view and even in formulating or strengthening our own opinions. I wouldn't want to take that away from anyone. This is one topic that you and I are just going to disagree on and it's best left at that.
Like you, I was raised in Sunday School and church as a child/youth but fell away from church in my early 20s and lived a fairly bohemian lifestyle for the next many years. I even held the "it's the woman's body" POV for a very long time. It was not until I found my way back to God that I realized that my earlier beliefs were not so much my beliefs but rather those of society around me and so I began searching for the answers that my soul needed. It was through that searching and reading my Bible that I came to understand that society's answers and God's answers are more often than not in conflict and that I would eventually have to answer to a higher authority than society for my beliefs and decisions. I realize, of course, that my decision has caused me to be "out of step" with the rest of the world, but that's okay with me because this world is just temporary and my eternity is based on things that are, well, eternal.
It is certainly not a show of disrespect,
and I hope no one takes it to mean that. As someone below points out, Mr. Washington himself preferred that and it has been carried out since. I am sure Mr. Obama is not offended by it.
The right has the market cornered on disrespect ...sm
to soldier's families. Hands down they win that award.
Especially if the family has anything contrary to say about this administration. Yeah, and we are the ones who don't support the soldiers.
I haven't seen disrespect either. He wears
the flag pin if that makes any difference to a country that is being sh-- canned!
Your disrespect for the wisdom of elders
Might try reading up on the brilliant genius that IS Lee Iacocca. Take a look at his photo...84 and looks 20 years younger. Sharp as a tack, as demonstrated by the level of expertise and thorough analysis expressed in the piece he wrote. The smartest thing he said, in essence, was "Dude, where's my country?"
In any cas, your petty, drive-by sound byte is a mere reflection of the same bankrupt leadership he decries, prime example being the tanking McSame.
BTW, here's a few other millionaires who endorse Obama, every single one of the former pubs:
1. Warren Buffet
2. Colon Powell
3. Susan Eisenhower
4. Julie Nixon Eisenhower
5. Senator Lincoln Chafe
6. Gov Linwood Holton (VA)
7. Mayor Richard Riordan (LA CA)
8. Bill Ruckelhaus
9. Douglas Kmiec
10. (Former) Mayor Ed Koch (NY)
