This kind of talk might, just might, add to the "vitrol" you always speak of and certainly THIS is how it grows to the level you object to.

Pretty personal remark

Nice try, although I do not know what "vitrol" is. If you mean vitriol, I don't think the statement quite rises to that level. Simply using a sarcastic (not vitriolic) remark to point out the abovementioned poster's pompous, know-it-all gradiosity.

I really appreciate you always calling me out on my typing or spelling...guess it makes you feel confident and special..

HOW about talking with me about ISSUES for once instead of criticizing everyone else ?? Would be great

This is a forum to primarily share opinions. I don't come here to be educated, I actually have learned how to surf the web and find information on about anything I want to learn more about. Virtually no one who logs onto this forum wants anything other than confirmation of their own opinions, ideals, and prejudices, and is not interested in any dissenting information. Anyone who by posting here thinks they are making a modicum of difference is dellusional. This is entertainment, pure and simple, no more, no less. My opinion is, almost anyone who is a member of TOTV, and has an independent, open mind, does not sign up for this forum because they don't want to read the kind of silliness that is usually present, including mine.

IF YOU say it then it must be so !!!!

And allow me, on behalf of all those folks that you feel are dependent and closed minded, thank you for the clarification.

I started this thread after seeing some disturbing things written by an anonymous person on a newspaper I was reading in a resturaunt. It bothered me and I thought it would bother most any reasonable person - I was wrong. Then another poster claimed it was all racially motivated, which I never said in my op or any subsequent post, but I got accused of making it racial. Then several said something like my guy was treated as bad as your guy, even though I thought I made it clear that Obama wasn't my guy, and I did think that Bush was treated poorly, though not to the same level. Then a poster takes umbrage with what I said and starts attacking me personally and I retaliate, and the thread begins to totally deteriorate and come apart at the seams. Anyone reading the last half of this thread would have little or no idea what the thread was begun about. And some of you wonder why there is little substantive discussion on this forum?

This is a reason that Jim and Marge do not think President Obama should be re-elected. Even though I do not agree with them, I find it refreshing that they actually have a reason as compared to many other posters who are just the "haters".

I am the sole arbiter of my opinion and you are the sole purveyor of meaningless posts.

The Catholic church is archaic, homophobic and largely irrelevent except to those who languish in their Catholic guilt. Really, admonishing nuns for showing empathy to the poor and less fortunate?? Comparing Obama to Hitler??

The lower-case "e" is just one of the lefties on this forum who accuse others of all they are themselves guilty of.

I, among others including yourself, are criticized as "know-it-alls" by someone who is not adverse in reveling in his own "brilliance??"

It's pretty funny. The left have no "mirrors".

This post is a good example of the hate in your heart. You've just insulted a huge number of your fellow Americans.

You've just insulted and marginalized a goodly number of your fellow left wingers, also.

This is why your side will lose.

For those of you who are not initiated, these are examples of meaningful posts according to the ultimate arbiter.
