Sorry that everyone isn't all aboard the Obama train.
I went back and looked at your posts and see nothing to really quarrel about except I'm pro Obama and you're not. Peace?

there will be no peace until we are crushed into a singularity . . . or something like that.

Actually I am pro America. Thats where I split ways with many people. Their first allegiance is to a party, many times without even realizing it. I don't give a flying fork what party someone is with. I care about this nation. I calls 'em like I sees 'em.

Sorry, Sam, it was an attempt at a humorous response to you and Merc being polite to each other in a politics thread.

Humour staus: fail.

I don't think she has an interest in being polite to me about politics. But I respect that. No biggie. Carry on.

Oh, generally I'm polite to people who are polite to me. I think UG has put me off my feed in that regard. On the other hand, I don't mind a knock down, leave no enemies standing debate. I think its possible to do this without referring to my incredible intellect plus the use of sophmoric humor. And if you don't know who I mean, stick sround another second or two.

Oh man....the bullshit alarm was so loud this morning, it woke me up early.

But let me be the first to congratulate you on climb towards the Mercenary level of patriotism!

You are now a MercPat Second Class and officially a self-proclaimed better American that “cares more about the nation” than many of those who might have a different perspective on what is best for the country.

Pay attention now....In order to achieve First Class status, you must also proclaim that you are “anti-double standard” while posting more partisan opinions/articles than all other members combined and then claiming “failed” whenever those partisan opinions are challenged by those with a different view.

Silly me. I thought pro-American means having those core values of respecting the fact that we are all not required to think alike and one is free to express an opinion regarding what is best for the country w/o having his/her patriotism questioned.

A rhetorical question for you …..why is it that those who claim they put “country above party” (you, Merc, UG) are most often the same ones who are so intolerant and dismissive of the views of fellow citizens?

Come on, dude(s)......why should anyone take you seriously when put yourself above others here by sinking so low?

Oh...and before you bitch that I misinterpreted your post.....I'll just quote you...”I calls 'em like I sees 'em”


**resetting the bullshit alarm until the next “real American” posts another outrageous self-promoting comment that disparages those with a different point of view---- I'll be watching **

We should respect the opinion of others on how to spell words like humour, colour, grey or any of those others the wanna-be-brits and brits alike spell wrong!

Just to clarify darlin'... Please give me a list of male politicians neglecting their families. Ta.

I think it's dreadful that women are criticised for working - that's what happens in pretty much every Western country. And if the majority of women work, then it should be accepted that they can work in politics. You can bet that even Kinder Kuche Kirche affliates these days have some female employees with children. Why? Because young mothers work for cheap.

If a party takes a stand on mothers in the home (risky even in right-wing America, surely?) then they cannot criticise working mothers. And if parents of both genders are necessary for a healthy upbringing, how can they support male career politicians who see their children about as often as a divorced Dad? Is he there at breakfast? Home to bath them? There all weekend?

Politicians are all mouth and no trousers. They try to enforce morals on us that they don't live by themselves (ditto journalists). Don't be fooled, people.

Bah, I poke out my tongue in your general direction. :p

If you don't like the English version of English, maybe you should rename your peculiar regional dialect American or something.
