It a **** shame when ya caint even quote the oldest current US senator without having his comment deleted.
Another thing that bothers me is when people take personal insults personally.
I feel the same way, I am not one to sit humbly on the sidelines and watch things get ruined without speaking out. I will admit to being more energetic than maybe I should sometimes but I do take the destruction of our freedoms and the arrogance of some politicians personally. Why? Because it IS personal. Long after I am gone my family will continue and the foundations we set now will hurt them more than me. I would love to help preserve some of the freedoms that made my life possible for my children, and their children.I think the reason is because these topics are extremely important. Our very existence as a free nation is in jeopardy as far as I'm concerned. True we can't stop dialect between the opposition but emotions are running high. My friend told me today that he was talking to his doctor about Obama's health care and his doctor came unglued and was ranting about how he will not be able to keep his practice the way it is now if Obama has his way. My friend agrees with him but he couldn't believe how stirred up his doctor got.
Our county might be changing drastically and people are very concerned. You have a far left congress and president with a majority of the population disagreeing and fearful that the very fabric of our country is at stake.
And most of that distortion and lies is from Obama and as the leader of the discussion, everyone else is simply following his lead.The debate is never civil, because it gets distorted with outright lies, deceptions, and misinformation. Not to mention the name calling.
We've been deceived for years and years. Where have you been?And most of that distortion and lies is from Obama and as the leader of the discussion, everyone else is simply following his lead.
Screaming "You lie" in the midst of Obama's address is a great and civil way to get your point across!If he would admit to things like the cost of his program maybe some other people would not go to the other extreme to counter his lie........maybe?
I love how you twist every thought and every word to your own device. This thread is not about you, TJ. If it were, Bender would have used your name and then you'd have a leg to stand on.Forget all the other questions Bender' date=' forget the past arguements.....do you really believe this bill will be [b']"deficit neutral"[/b"] as Obama has promised no less than 40 times? Answer that one question for me without a lot of disclaimers and excuses....please.
Right here noticing it all, where have you been?We've been deceived for years and years. Where have you been?
And neither is the lie itself. Do you think saying a lie softly makes it better?Screaming "You lie" in the midst of Obama's address is a great and civil way to get your point across!

You're hobbling at best.
Because most people are too pigheaded to see things any way but their own, and too insecure to acknowledge that anyone holding an oppsing view may actually have valid reasons for holding it.
I get that, but that sounds more like harassment that debating political ideas. I?m referring to people simply stating their opinion about the healthcare plan, or in the case of my one friend, putting one status on his facebook about being glad he missed the speech. No one would want to be constantly harassed like your friend was, but living life requires a certain amount of tolerance when it comes to opposing views.
I guess as long as it makes sense to you, go for it, lol.You make it all too easy, TJ.
