    Default Most of you know i don't get into politics like some of you do

    I do read and pay close attention though I have noticed one thing here recently.............When Bush was in office he was getting blasted by liberals constantly on here, and most of the conservatives to some degree where able to rationally and calmly explain and give links to information on what ever the issue happen to be. However with regards to Obahma (SP) (it would be nice if they would get his name into spell check considering he is the President) I have noticed that the liberals have not done much to condone his actions on here, links or explanations. What's up with that? Have they lost their faith already? It's only been what? 2 and 1/2 months.

    personal info.......My mother voted for Obahma, she is a closet democrat. I had to pry it out of her.(literally)(she didn't even want to tell her own husband who she voted for) She is now wishing she had voted for anyone but him.

    Your mom is like most of us, doing the best we can with the info given us. Tell her, wait for next year, vote for anyone who disagrees with what Obama is doing.

    That's a monumental understatement if you really believe this:

    ...most of the conservatives to some degree where able to rationally and calmly explain and give links to information on what ever the issue happen to be.
    Most Conservatives are incapable of rational thought much less rational explanation. Indeed, the inability to understand and analyze complex ideas is fundamental to Conservative ideology.

    Simply because we disagree with you, doesnt mean we arent rational. In fact, that is a pretty good evidence that we are rational.

    And we support ourselves all the time.
    If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

    The disagreement isn't the reason. It's the willful self-delusion. You ignore the most obvious conclusions of clear observations to cling to comfortable, cherished beliefs.

    They won't condone his actions because they don't think he's capable of doing anything wrong..

    and most agree with his Socialist agenda, they think the Government should be our full time nanny and that "Government" should have full and total control over our lives..

    Here's a socialist/conservative who believes that in a "Free Society" the government is supposed to guaranty every citizen a salary, even if it's unreasonable and excessive.

    yeah, and they should guarantee us all a car, a big screen tv, a house, food, medical, money, beer, lots of vodka since we will all be miserable, but it will be a shared misery..
    When the "Government" has full control over your lives, you are not free..

    an odd conclusion, since he argued the exact opposite.....that government should NOT be involved in determining salaries......

    Indeed, he's a troll. However those types of posts just indicate his status; what will not be allowed is repetitive and derailing posts.
