I have never used that quote on PetTalk before. If you have something on your conscious - please do not put it off on me.

I do not make assumptions about the "hidden meaning" of your posts. I would appreciate the same courtesy.

I also find it interesting that at the town hall meeting w/Lee, the audience was relatively quiet and respectful while the woman was asking her question. Lee chose to ignore her. Perhaps people feel that they need to shout to be heard. I'm not condoning it but I do understand it.

Talking about birth certificates and waving yours around in a baggie does not seem to me to be...well... constructive! The woman in the clip was called upon by the speaker. It was after that she became... it appears crazed.

My conscience is clear, has been for a quite some time. Now I know what you are going to say, but I know that you have said that before, more than once. Funny I can't find it now. Oh well....

Be that as it may... Perhaps you might answer my query? If you did not say..

"As you are to the least of my people, so shall you be unto me" apparently is not part of the credo of many in this country.

...to imply people like me (those who oppose THIS PARTICULAR HCR bill) don't care about those less fortunate.... What did you mean? You have said that my assumption was wrong. So I am going to do what you ask and give you the courtesy of not assuming what I think it means. So can you please clarify what you meant by that?

I daresay that it's because I care about others that I don't like this particular HCR bill or, as it's now apparently called, the insurance reform bill. I need not agree w/the bill or w/any one person in particular nor am I required to take someone's litmus test in order to be deemed compassionate.

There you go again -- telling me what I have written. You can't find it because...I never wrote it before. Are you calling me a liar? In any event it is a bibical quote - not usually considered offensive or needing clarification.

And you are reading too much into what I said. Here is what I wrote...

Isn't it so sad, CM? "As you are to the least of my people, so shall you be unto me" apparently is not part of the credo of many in this country.

Where does that say anything about "people like you" an offensive phrase I would not use anyway? Where does it say anything about "you people" who oppose universal healthcare?

If you think it is about you...that is not my problem.

It means exactly what it says.

If you do not intend to offend people ES, its a little late for that. LOL

But I digress....

Thanks for the typical non-answer. If it "means what it says", then I guess I am right. Cool.

Offend people...well that is certainly the pot calling the kettle black!

I am really sorry you cannot understand a simple sentence....

Isn't it so sad, CM? "As you are to the least of my people, so shall you be unto me" apparently is not part of the credo of many in this country.

Oh wait. It is two sentences. Is that what is causing you a problem?

Let me make this clear. I don't take orders. I made a statement. You decide it is about you. For no discernible reason. Everything is not about you. And expect me to clarify my statement.

Right. Get a dictionary if you must, but stop expecting me to help you understand such a simple statement. Geez

Now to you, my dear....

Like I said in my last post... Your lack of a clarification seems to justify my translation of the sentence in the context used. And thus, you, as usual, are denegrating any person who does not "think" like you do.

I say again.... Who do you think you are fooling with your bullcrap?

She doesnt see it as BS, she actually believes it. She isnt trying to fool anybody. Dick Morris spelled out this type of thinking in "Bias".

Poor, poor Puckstop...the world really does not revolve around you and what you want.

I do not give a rat's behind what you think of me...you just are not that important!

I'll make you a deal...stop putting words in my mouth to try and stem your guilt and I will put you back on ignore.
