I have noticed it is funny how people's attitude changes when it is their guy getting attacked. I really think this started in the 60s but it continues to get worse. Yes, Gene and I have been saying the same thing. I didn't like it (still don't) when Harry is completely one sided on everything, and I don't like it now that the conservatives of the group are doing the same exact thing with Obama. If you see behavior you do not like, speak up. But, when you only speak up when it is being performed by those whose views you are in opposition with you are viewed as a hypocrite. No, you are labeled a hypocrite, regardless, by the *other* or the *other other* self-righteous side..... Gene it is too bad that you have never asked me my views on organized religion, you would be surprised by my views. When I question your rabid views of religion you make the assumption that I am a fundie. You like to come across as a live and let live type of person. Yes, when people question your authority or your positions your behavior is often worse than a fundie. |

Please point to the post where I made any sort of assumption regarding what or how you personally believe... Go find any sentence of yours that contains the phrase 'you folks'.

Don't contradict Gene, he doesn't cotton to it. I have to cut gene some slack, because, as you know, the "rules" require each of us to maintain discussions with at least one fleeg* in this newsgroup. Mine is JustHateaFreak...gene's must be loogy. * fleeg a person with a flat-lined EEG. |

Nobody was putting mustaches or swasticka's on Obama until Pelosi said they were and she was called on it.. Only after did the pictures start showing up but you can be sure it wasn't gradnma' and grandpa' who were posting them. It was DNC operatives trying to save Pelosi's lying ass again... It's Sunday morning. You should be in church instead of drinking O.J. laced with your old stash of terpin hydrate. |
