Hey, girlfriend -- you are the kind of bully who likes to call folks out. but then gets all prissy when he is given the same treatment?

Examples of your rhetoric:

"All I can say about your statement above is that it is buffoonish. You are wrong in your analysis and you're rude on top of it."

"What put us in debt, Mr. Buffoon, is all the spending that did not result in any noticeable increase in revenue. Wake up and smell the Obama. He absolutely blew it, or he did it on purpose. There's no other explanation."

I'll fess up to being less than kind on this forum. That is because my original opinions were greeted -- from the get-go -- with rudeness and sarcasm. Moreover, I don't take kindly to offensive remarks from folks who don't read serious political journals --whether from the right or left.

As a result, I figured that this is a tough place where playing rough is accepted.

Wanna play rough? Game on.

Wanna try to discuss things in a rational way...well, that's why I originally started to post here.

But please ... don't whine when you get better than you give.

How do you spell recession?
 

Quite blaming the POTUS and the Congress for the mess that we are in. Right now, go into your bathroom, look in the mirror. That is who is to blame for the mess that we are in. You, Me, Each and Everyone one of us. We did not do our jobs and keep an eye on those we elected to represent us. So quit complaining, start doing your job and maybe we can get out of this mess before we complete crash and go under.

Excuse Me; you're the rational one? You're the one who without real evidence is calling people racist and "herr Himmler". You got to be devoid of mental mirrors to see yourself in.

In asking you to explain yourself in your accusatory diatribe to Villagegolfer in calling him racist, I'm playing rough? You couldn't even do it. Where is your explanation on what was exactly racist in Villagegolfers post or in my questions to you?

You can take any quote of mine you want out of context, but it still just make you the bully, not me. There's no whining here and I couldn't care less what you think of me. You dish it out and get furious when challenged. Very classy.

So far, your comments are far more offensive that any I've seen. You're off to a great start on this forum, let me tell you.

Now you're the arbiter of what is a serious political journal, and you belittle people when you have no idea who they are or what they read or don't read.

I'm thinking you need an intervention.

I don't know about you, buddy, but I do my homework before I vote. Unlike my sister-in-law who said she voted for Obama because he is a good talker, or my black neighbor who said he voted for Obama because he is a "Brother".

Aww C'mon
 

All these personal attacks are accomplishing is to drive people away from this forum who might read and get more information to develop informed political opinions. Or worse, be so turned off by the vitriolic exchanges between members that they might choose not to make a contribution themselves.

Instead of a blanket condemnation; if you take the time to read the progression of the posts, it is obvious that the aggressor is Harbor53. Villagegolfer made a rational observation on election exit polls and was immediately and scurrilously attacked with vile intent.

When I asked the aforementioned Harbor53 to explain his calling Villagegolfer "racist" and "Herr Himmler", he got furious and referred to me as "girlfriend" (maybe a little Freudian) and coupled with some other epithets, he dragged out some previous statements out of context in an attack that did not answer the question at hand. (He's checking up on me which is a little creepy, I must say)

Where have I, above, acted like the bully that Harbor53 revealed himself to be? (He wants to play rough by his own admission)

Richie is correct. I have complained about personal attacks since I started here rather recently. I may be ridiculed for saying this, and I have lurked before posting, but almost all the personal attacks are from the left side of the aisle. This is not a new phenomenon since I was a member of another political forum long ago.
When one has no reasonable comeback, instead of not posting, they come back with ridicule. It is immature. Of course I may mutter to myself that this so and so is an idiot, but I do not type it on a post.

Please everybody, aim your insults to the people we hire, the politicians. They deserve it.

I agree on this one.....just how many debt ceiling raises was there under the previous admin?

Doers that make it right?:mad:

Knowing the Constitution and believing in it, defending it, and operating under it's principles are apparently two seperate things...
