Re: Obama wants to Brainwash Our Kids Now
[QUOTE=RoadToad;381300]Exactly! This is something that's been bugging me about this board lately, seeing people using epithets like this, and then expecting the people they're talking about to respond respectfully. Or maybe they don't expect that, and what they're trying to do is provoke someone, I don't now. But you may as well walk up to someone on the street and say, "Hey Stupid, how ya doing?" and expect to get a handshake in response. It certainly has no place in civil conversation, and as far as I am concerned, you may as well be wearing a button that says, "I am a bigot." bigot –noun a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion.

I go out of my way to avoid calling individuals names on this board. If you see that little play on words as offensive and feel I should be wearing a bigot button for it, you're certainly entitled to your opinion.
But I get one too. In my opinion you are part of society's obsession with political correctness, and you're always offended about one thing or another.
Re: Obama wants to Brainwash Our Kids Now
You guys got 3 plus more yrs of Obama and probally 7 plus.:) If you get so tore up over him addressing you children while in school I cant imagine what you do when he addresses the nation from time to time. This country is a democracy and some didnt get their way, thats the way it works and has over 200 yrs. I say you need to calm down and see what he has to say before someone tell you what hes going to say.

He won't be saying anything to my children,if he has something to say,he can say it to me.
I wouldn't let a known child molester speak alone to my children anymore than I would a known associate of Terrorists,Racists,and Theives.

If objecting to being insulted by being called "dim" amounts to "political correctness," then I'm guilty as charged. I guess what I really am is naive for expecting civility on an internet message board.

He got elected no doubt but that doesn't mean that I would blindly follow him. Allot of the Libs do....just like allot of Pubs did Bush. I did not and I don't agree with this two party system which is why I stay Independant.
I still maintain he got elected by running a GREAT campaign based on lies but a great speaker can fool allot of people. The country was ready for a change from the GOP who lost their way and left their conservative base behind. I feel he won because allot of people voted against the GOP not for the "fool". Hillary, Ted Kennedy, Barbara Streisand or whoever would have won. Hopefully he is a one and done!

For a Independant you sure say a lot of nasty stuff about the Dems and not so much as a word about the Pubs that I can recall.

I was totally against the bailout that Bush pushed through and even went off on our State Reps. I wasn't happy with McCain as the best candidate from the GOP. I am not happy with any President we have had since the borders are still a major problem. I know I have posted that stuff on here. I wasn't impressed with their spending either.
I am a Conservative and totally against big Gubment and lifelong social programs that just enable people to ride on my shirt tails. This present administration is an atrocity with their criminal cabinet appointments, associations and agenda. So if it seems I can't stand them then I have deftly expressed myself.
So if I don't bash a past administration I'm not qualified to be an Indy? It's the Libs time to run this country and they painted themselves into a corner with all the Bush bashing. Now it's time to judge their performance or lack there of.
When was the last time a Lib has voiced their opinion against what the "fool on the hill" is doing? Do you agree with his cabinet appointments? Do you give him a pass on his past associations? Do you give Pelokeo, frank, dodd and the other fools a pass? Just curious....
