I can say that you have a tone that is less offensive though and you're more rational. I do think your party has to toss out people like Limbaugh or, well, any Fox News anchor for that matter. The mainstream media doesn't bring many, if any, rational republicans into the spotlight.<br /><br />Oh and as for Bush, yes, I do the same way. I did disagree with Bush on MANY levels though.<br /><br />For the record, I'm an independent.<br /><br />Just be careful with what, and the tone in which, you write on the internet. It's a very public place.<br /><br />Take care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31326616.post-25025560046888225992010-02-20T12:20:50.849-05:002010-02-20T12:20:50.849-05:00Dearest Nonny,
I'm sorry your self-righteous...Dearest Nonny, <br /><br />I'm sorry your self-righteousness prevented you from reading the rest of my post, but perhaps it's all for the best. Y'see, my post was intended for those who agree with me politically, since I knew they would find it funny. I'm sorry you took offense, (or even took it seriously). But it does no good to your credibility to pretend that you didn't perceive my obvious flippancy in saying that the bumper sticker was "picking your fight."<br />You referred to some low-born scoundrels who apparently carried sculptures of President Obama portrayed as Hitler. I have a few things to say in reply: <br />1. If I met these people, I would likely be tempted to punch them in the face. Seriously. You don't do that. To anybody. <br />2. Do you feel the same way about the thousands upon thosands of YOUR persuasion who portrayed President Bush in the exact same way? Not to mention the millions more who falsely (yes, FALSELY) accused him of torture, tyranny and mass murder? If so, then I have no argument with you. <br />3. Maybe you truly believe that most Republicans and Tea-Party activists are of the kind that do Obama-Hitler statues. They're not. I know them. The fact of the matter is, Nonny, that you and others have the tendency to accuse us of what project your own practices on your opponents (I mean, of course 'you' in the general sense, not you personally.) You spent eight years saying truly evil and horrible things about President Bush. This practice was not the habit of few loons on the fringes - it was pretty mainstream. It was trumpeted by Howard Dean, Keith Olbermann, and others. So naturally, you assume that we Republicans all hate and despise Obama as much as you did Bush. We don't. We - I and the vast majority of Republicans - are angry at Obama's policies. We don't hate him. We don't think he's Satan. Don't judge Republicans by anonymous blog posts and someone in a Tea-Party crowd (incidentally, whenever the media covers these events, they always make sure to feature one of these evil morons. There's one evil moran in a crowd of a thousand decent people, and of course the media talks to HIM.) Judge Republicans by our leaders, both political and cultural. Go to National Review, go to the statements of Republican leaders, and see if you can find anything approaching the level of hate and venom that is served up on a daily basis by Frank Rich or the Daily Kos. We don't call you racist, homophobic, or self-righteous. That's cause we're adults. Republicans think Democrats are wrong. Democrats thing Republicans are evil.Normiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12499533271689435311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31326616.post-80213035682396478712010-02-14T21:25:22.254-05:002010-02-14T21:25:22.254-05:00I'm multi-tasking and didn't take the time...I'm multi-tasking and didn't take the time to reread, sorry for the typos (grammatical and spelling). Take care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31326616.post-85406620380397353492010-02-14T21:22:16.734-05:002010-02-14T21:22:16.734-05:00You're very ignorant to the principles of desi...You're very ignorant to the principles of design. Punctuation is disposable in headings and single (sometimes multiple) line statements. Circular shapes, such as periods, create a false distribution of typographical balance in headings due to their nature of creating focal points. You'll notice many posters, logos, and so forth, don't include periods in statements. In other words because a period is not included in a single-line statement does not call for error...I thought this was obvious given much printed works follow this trend. It's also worth mentioning that "pixels" don't exist outside of screens. Pixels transferred to the natural world are typical referred to as points, which are measured in terms of density. Before you say that doesn't matter, it actually does given your argument. It is not there to invite you to "impregnate" it with a meaning. <br /><br />Now that you know this, you're aware that "punchlines" aren't needed. Darn! You were on a role there, right? It's really interesting that you refer to Obama supporters as "mesmerized, confused, or temporarily insane". There aren't any republicans like that of course! Especially with these tea party participants running around with life-sized sculptures of Obama dressed up as Hitler. Nothing temporarily insane about that!<br /><br />I wasn't able to finish reading your entry because it was so self-righteous. I guess I couldn't expect more from a grown man who thinks a perfectly acceptable bumper sticker picked a fight with him...<br /><br />You take care of yourself, John.<br />At this rate you'll be arguing with your mattress by summer.<br /><br />In closing, you have inspired me to write a joke (those punchlines of yours!). You can use this, really, I don't mind:<br />"Knock, knock."<br />"Who is there?"<br />"John."<br />"John who?"<br />"John McCain."<br />I put all of my periods in that joke where needed so you can't impregnate them with your punchlines. Remember that.<br /><br />Enjoy your winter!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
