For those of you who are so concerned with "civility" (definition of which is in the fingers of who ever is typing...eh?) and also were not around in the months prior to the 2008 for a comparison......today's and yesterday's forum on it's worst (shall we say un-civil) day do not compare within one iota to the behavior and venom spewed by the Bush bashers and or pro Obama bombastics.

It is supposed to be point and counter point....not pre-determined feel good commentary only. I do not subscribe to attacking the messenger....a sure sign of weakness. However, like it or not, I do enjoy those willing to passionately stand by their "man" without denegrating party or person.

I too do not see any current changes of significance, that may be because I read at face value (hopefully) without spending too much time looking between the lines or oblique messages.

Just wait until next year. Maybe some of the bashers of pre 2008 will reactivate...rather than lurk.

I went back and read some of the old threads. Where are all the Obama water carriers now? Why haven't they been back defending him? Maybe he is undefendable now and they are sorry that they voted for him?

Please try to keep up with the conversation, it does evolve, you know. We were talking about the way things heat up around here at election time. And for you information, water carrier is just an expression for someone devoted to a candidate. You Savvy now????:boxing2:

Where is the incivility Iaudit? I see no one singled out and cursed out here. Do you meant to say you can't criticize anyone in the world on this forum? Wow!!; that would be an extremely high standard.

Guest 09-05-2011 02:23 PM
iaudit seems to take umbrage of a few of my posts lately. Pay him or her no heed. I don't.:rolleyes:

Still waiting for the list of personal insults I foisted on VillagerII. I'm expecting the list or an apology. I should get one or the other if you're correct.

Waiting......waiting............

I jest sent the opology in the form of a PM. Sorry for the delay.

Wow, I got caught in a drenching downpour on the green. I was drenched before I could make it back to my golf cart. Now I'm dry and having so much fun talking to my friends on TOTV. HAPPY LABOR DAY!!!

A Better Alternative?

There's a lot of what he's done that is undefendable, although not everything. I voted for him and I've said I would not vote for him for a second term. But the most bothersome thing to me is that there must be a better alternative than a second Obama term. I'm sad to say that as much as I want to replace him as POTUS, I'm not seeing a better alternative right now.

Anybody is better then a socialist imposing anti-business regulations into a fragile economy. Instead of spending precious time trying to right the economy, Obama spent months lobbying for health care in a still crippled market.

Almost any conservative would be a hundred times better then this regime, and you know it.

I just want to say that the dispute between VillagerII and myself has been resolved in private. We've both issued apologies for hurt feelings and vowed to try to do better in the future.

I also apologize to the other members of this forum for the public airing of our laundry.

OK, the bell has rung, gotta get back to it:boxing2:

Did something just happen to this format?

How many of you anti-union folks realize that Labor Day was rushed through Congress in 1894 as a concession to unions in the Pullman Strike?

Hey, one day a year to remember that those in the trenches built this country and maintain it is not a bad idea (that is, if people actually consider that)
I was a proud union man my whole life, and will always be grateful for the men who paved the way to the wonderful life I've always enjoyed.
