Its called sarcasm. I dont even bother with hip waders when fishing anymore.

It still stands that the Bush's and Limbaugh can get through a speech without somebody feeding it to them.
One of my bestist friends is an "Obama can do no wrong" liberal. Over the next few weeks Ill be crashing on his couch a couple a times while Im taking comp networking classes. We dont agree politicaly but we dont degrade each other either.
Thanks for the spell check, no sarcasm at all. I know my spelling sucks.
Ild prefer ya'll answer the questions or points made by Puck rather then try to belittle me. Puck makes a better argument then I do. By trying to belittle me actually weakens ya'lls case/argument. By attacking my case/argument ya'll are going after a person with multiple learning dissabilities. Puck has a much better understanding of history and politics then I do.
Put it like this I use a framing hammer Puck uses a finishing hammer.
Blue, have you noticed it is usually only certain people who do not reply to my posts? Those silences are often deafening, eh? (FWIW, I am not talking about Caseysmom or Grace. Its actually just 2-3 people. LOL)
We have serious issues in this country. Serious issues that need serious debate, by US. We the people. But to do that, we have to look each other in the eye rather than look DOWN at each other. Some people are capable of that, others are not. I for one am not innocent, but more and more of late I am trying.
Caseysmom... Thank you. It means a lot. It does.
ES... I briefly saw a post you made in responce to me. I cannot see it now, so if you deleted it, please don't. But I do want to reply to what I saw...
You are right. Or at least you used to be. When I first came to this BB, you were certainly right. But I promise you I have changed and am trying very hard to change my tone when I post about this stuff. Please understand though that because of the nature of the stuff we discuss and our very different views on the topics, it will be a smidge caustic from time to time. Lets face it, politics is a contact sport and sometimes you get a bloody nose.
Know this.... No matter how much what you saw often makes blood shoot out of my eyes, I believe you are being honest. You are not simply being a cheerleader, but you say WHY you think the way you do. Like I said before in another responce to you... I believe we both want the same thing for our country, we just are night and day on how we get there.
So consider this an olive branch. I post here because most of the people here do not think the way I do. I seek out the opposition for discussion because preaching to the choir gets us nowhere.
So, if you make a effort to not talk down to me, I promise the same in return.
Now, on a side note... You DO seem to have a gift for writing. You are good at making a seemingly mundane thing, a very emotional thing. For instance, you recent post about Polio in the most recent health care bru-ha. (I am going there next, LOL) You should try your hand at writing, I think you would be good at it.
