perhaps you could point out what was illogical, uninformed or ignorant.

I didn't mean you.

I was not an T.E.A. Party organizer, but an attendee.

I believe that I displayed coarseness rather than ignorance, perhaps you could point out what was illogical, uninformed or ignorant.

incivility is only critisized when it originates from the left

You obviously don't read very many of my posts, or the reactions to some of them.

As a fellow tea party organizer, my problem isn't so much with the language, but the blatant ignorance masquerading as established truth. Those who know the least, know it the loudest.

If a person calls me a 'teabagger', a term that I equate with 'cock-sucker', I will not reply in a civil manner. Thus, I referred to elrod as a 'cock-sucker'. Your argument is not with me, it is with elrod who began the incivility.

And, the real point of my posting was to demonstrate that incivility is only critisized when it originates from the left on this particular website. Thank you all for your assistance with this matter.

I don't give a rats ass. Yes, it is insulting. Fair enough. Just keep your language civil and we can agree again at some point.

Hopefuly, he understands that it is in a indefensible position to attempt to define the term 'teabagger' as anything but insulting and he had the good sense to avoid arguing that point. Are you claiming that the term 'teabagger' is not an insult?

He is probably too smart to stoop to your level. There now you can insult me.

Do you only take issue with my insults because of their coarseness or do you understand the term 'teabagger' to be something less than insulting?

Funny that the 'moderates' are able to hurl around insults with impunity, but let a person just slightly to the right of them call them on it and they circle the wagons. Sad state of affairs. I'd like to hear what elrod has to say about it all.

I hope you get a dictionary and a Thesaurus for the holidays. They will expand your vocabulary so you can perhaps explain your positions more clearly. I did not join this forum to hear high school level taunts. Perhaps you would be better appreciated on a teenage site, better than you are here.

Just trying to keep up. The thing is, I make my insults on purpose, elrod, not so much. I'm sure that back ibn the mid 1900s, people didn't think twice about calling blacks 'niggers'. May not have been purposefully offensive by the whites that uttered the phrase, yet the blacks hearing themselves referred to as such likely took offense. Just because the speaker does not feel that a label is offensive, doesn't mean that it isn't.

After all, what is thie difference between calling a person a 'teabagger' and calling a person a 'cock-sucker'?

Not too swift.

Thank you for your very eloquent comments, PWT. Great Christmas spirit...

We all got to see how it works over the weekend, payoffs with other peoples' money. Sad that anyone would be satisfied, or in your case, proud of that form of government.

Oh, and from one of the T.E.A. party supporters, take the cock out of your mouth when you type, "teabagger".

Re: Joe Lieberman

Do you really think it's mainly/partially/a little anti-semitic, or just a usual Dem/Lib. response?

Re: Joe Lieberman

PWT — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 13:44:35 -0000

I like the anti-semitism to be more up front.

Huh?

For my taste, I'd have preferred to see Mr. Lieberman nailing a Medicare Buy-In Jesus to the cross, but that's just me...

Are you saying, then, that I should vote for the least competent party because they will be able to bollix up the country less than the more competent, but still incompetent, party?

Re: Death threats for Obama

PWT — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 12:01:51 -0000

Nancy Pelosi would only step up to the plate if Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden were to perish at the same time or if Mr. Biden failed to replace himself as the VP.

Since Cheney was the VP and I believe that he was reviled much more than Mr. Bush, wouldn't one conclude that the death threats came from right-wingers? I mean, what left winger would have wanted to take out Bush for Cheney?

They don't call them 'Super Sugar Crisp' anymore, they took the sugar out of the name but not the cereal. Although, I think that adding the X into the cereal would expand their consumer base.

That is something not only can we agree on but if we ever meet in person remind me I owe you a beer because that is exactly what is happening.

Sounds like we have a fiat currency crisis and we're all screwed.

Actually it began with Papa Bush and the SNL crises. For that matter so did the habit of bailing out industries.

I see that much like those that do not see social spending as a problem you do not want to fix the situation. Yes going off the gold standard happened long ago but we could not "invent" money if that had not happened, this is how cause meets effect on that one. Then Reagan cut taxes for those at the top while salaries stagnated and began to fall for the middle class and unsurprisingly fewer of them every year paid any federal taxes since they no longer made enough all while inflation continually rose. What Reagan sanely and wisely began we decided to double down on for 20 years or so and low and behold we have the incredibly shrinking middle class. If you do not want to address inflation(the gold standard) nor progressive taxation then you have what we have here, a shrinking amount of people paying taxes and a growing amount of people that to pay taxes will need to live with their parents or maybe just cut back on groceries and we are just beginning to feel those effects. Meanwhile those at the bottom that do not see inflation but instead "rising costs" will want more and more action taken to "fix" this or that problem so that they can continue to live what is now left of the American dream and since we live in a democracy they will continue getting it and the deficit will continue to rise because we cant defy those that vote them in (unless they want to be sent packing) and we cant raise taxes on those that have the money that was in the middle class before we began this insanity because they own the politicians(just to be clear I am speaking specifically of the top .01% not the top 1% there is a vast difference between the two). So like all ideologues this is just the country that I think you deserve, not that you want but what we want and what we deserve are usually very different things.

"What tax breaks are you talking about for the 'rich'?"

Have you missed the last twenty years of tax history or do you really think that everyone has benefited as much as the top .01% since 1980. Here is a hint, if we want a middle class we will either need to pay them more or shift money from those at the top to everyone else because taxes is not what is dropping them into the lower classes. Otherwise get used to our growing banana republic because you are helping to create it by putting on ideological blinders.
