Thank You for so openly proving my point that most of these arguments are based on what Conspiracy-believers and political "baiters" WANT to believe and try to FORCE others to agree with instead of holding intelligent and CALM conversations....REGARDLESS of whether you are Right-wing, left-wing, Centrist, Separatists etc....
I referred to BOTH sides as being "over the top"... becaue the people bitching about BUSH were just as bad as those now bitching about OBAMA...
has there EVER been a President some people didn't hate?
Any Presidency where there wasn't SOME controversy, conspiracy theories etc???
My "Obama Being Black" reference and the "John McCain" reference were aimed at those who already made these references earlier in this dialogue.. (He's a Muslim, not a real American Citizen etc..)
Did I hit a nerve- or you just so wound up that you'll "poke a stick" at anyone and everyone you don't agree with or don't understand??
I am intelligent enough to see both sides, read the 'facts" that are available from ALL sides of the argument and make my own decisions.... non-partisan, split ticket-- I vote my beliefs, views and conscious.... I don't just check "Vote All Republican/Democrat" and walk away -- and even if I VOTED for a certain Senator, Governor, President- doesn't mean I'll back him.her up no matter what they do/don't do after elected!
Again-- too many people are sheeple-- and I refuse to be 'herded' by conspiracy theorists, doomsayers, bigots and haters.
so, instead of disputing my arguments point by point, you simply declare moral victory and assert that im a sheep for actually knowing what went on in the gulf war and it's interminable afterbirth?
how very mature, unbiased and non-sheep like you are.
i have no intention of FORCING you to agree with shit. you however cannot make broad sweeping and categorically incorrect statements then pretend that the truth is irrelevant, or in this case, the truth despite being counter to your claims, actually PROVES YOU WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG...
what you mean is you FEEL certain ways, and you have the right to FEEL that way, and the facts are irrelevant to your FEELINGS, and im a meanie for bringing up facts when youre busy FEELING WAYS ABOUT THINGS.
sadly however, your FEELINGS are irrelevant to the facts, and as much as you might like to assert that Obama's not so bad, because the last guy sucked too, that doesnt change the simple fact that the CURRENT GUY SUCKS, and until you invent a Feelings Powered Time Machine the last guy's suckiness is still pretty much locked in. all we can hope to do is keep the CURRENT guy, and future guys from sucking as badly.
endlessly insisting that as much as the current guy sucks, he is only slightly more sucky than the last guy so thats OK, only creates an endles cycle of suck, very much like the federal reserve has done with inflation, so your dollar ONLY loses 1.5-3% of it';s value every year, and thats not so bad cuz it could be worse... your dollar is still 1.5-3% less than it was last year and will continue to circle the drain until it achieves singularity and implodes becoming worse than valueless and you have to pay people to haul away your money.
now is the time to draw the line, to stand up and shout
"The Line Must Be Drawn, This shitty, No Shittier!" and refuse to allow any further slouching into ignominy for the office of the president.
our presidents have been progressively smaller men since the start of the 20th century, each one less powerful in his personality, and less representative of the american character. likewise their policies have been less founded on our constitution and more geared towards appeasing the bureaucracy. even reagan who was uncommonly charismatic, and carter who was uncommonly honest were not the men that Theodore Roosevelt or Warren Harding were. the treend reached it's nadir with bush 1's limp wristed response to numerous affronts which so emboldened saddam that he just assumed he could do as he wished, to clinton's personal failures and even MORE limp wristed responses to saddams actions.
obama may be an inveterate liar, a chicago style politician and entirely unqualified for the office of the president, but at least he's not an embarrassment to the nation like bush1 and clinton.
