atm, i guess somebody has your number. looks like the world doesn't revolve around atm after all ! ! ! ! Nice going RDJVZ, hehe.

Ladies, ladies, let's be civil.

Ablaze,
I enjoy the blogs because I like to slap liberals around and make them see the light. The "light" being the opposite of their "let the government take care of us" ideas.

Many on here want people to agree with them. I like to hear from both sides. That way us conservatives can take turns ditch slapping the simple minded liberals.

As for your comment of graduates being liberals. As you know MOST people go to college right after high school. At that young age, they are gullible. Many college teachers (and teachers in general) are liberals, and they like to spew their liberal garbage to their students. Once the snot nosed graduates grow up for a few decades and see the light (the same light as above) they think for themselves and become conservatives. That's why the SMART old tarts are conservatives.

RD and ATM--I had to delete both your comments because they were equally threatening and that is not what this blog intended.

ATM--I will count your vote as 'not a debate'.
Ken---debate
Tweety--not really sure. And I am not playing the victim, I am posing the question. I have allowed myself to sting a bit, too, but you have to admit I ahve not gone to the lengths of some on this site. As far as anyone being banned, I am sure that person was banned for defending themselves and kicking butt doing so. Now, I end up erasing a lot of things I'd like to say. please let me know when something slips by me and I act 'Republican' ;)

My dad, a staunch Republican (although he is considering Obama--that is a HUGE step for him, but I will believe it when I see it.), has always said that I will be a Republican when I grow up because I will have more money and children (and he is a big wig who works all of the financials for Honeywell). This leads me to believe I will become greedy and afraid the older I get. Well, I am not very materialistic (why I save like crazy and am only $3K in debt from college) and I told the mom across the street to let her kid wrestle or play football if he wanted. He is more likely to be seriously injured walking to school. But, I guess that's why I will always be a Democrat.

Thanks to blogs in general, and this new type of media we have all become messengers, but we're not always careful about what we say, or how we say it. Anyone with a computer, the ability to type, and an Internet connection can become a published author, of sorts. And of course, blogs can often reflect the personality of the author. Blogs voice opinions basically, whether it be news or otherwise, and should provoke good dialogue. How well we know that isn't always the case. Do you blog for knowledge or learning, or just for fun? All types of people make comments here. Some are highly educated, some are not. Some can make a good point with the spoken word and facts, others shout down and name call because they can't bring anything else to the table. At any rate, you need thick skin and ability to "brush off" the verbal attacks which sometimes accompany someone's comments. Some are so strong in their belief systems that it's pointless to try and argue a point, and that's certainly their right. It's difficult to deal with the "I am right, you are wrong, I am better than you" mindset, but keep in mind that everyone is different, and by all means, you can't take it personally. Everyone has a right to speak, unless it becomes out of control. I guess it's up to Fox to make those decisions. I love the dialogue and like challenging my mind. I can also say that I've learned a thing or two from my fellow bloggers. If we all agreed on the same thing all the time, this would be a pretty boring world in my opinion. Just my three cents worth.

When I wrote that, I was talking to RDJVZ & ATM - the posts that are now deleted. When the post went through, I saw you got in before me and wondered if you would think I was talking about you and ablaze. You and ablaze are much more civil than they were being.

Ken--so you think that people who drop out of high school and never go back are intelligent when they get old by default?

No, I never said that. I think anyone that doesn't get their free high school education is an idiot and should not be able to ever get welfare, food stamps, or unemployment insurance, unless they get their GED. Why? Because they are MUCH harder to place in a job. If we made that rule, idiots would still drop out of HS, but they would grow up and get a GED so they could get the government free handouts.

Debate is an open exchange of ideas, if you want a civil debate you might try being civil yourself. When someone states a fact like
Obamas 1/2 brother belongs to a muslim extremist party in Kenya, then
"Seriously? You are an idiot. Even if it's true, so what? I wouldn't think you were a criminal just cuz you have an uncle in the can." is not a civil response. It is insulting and moronic, yet you wonder why people get insulting to you. Even you little bio insults people. People can hold an opposing point of view without being "evil" or "hateful" you don't seem to realize that.

Sound thinking. Thank you!

You are right, Justmepa. If I called someone an idiot without provocation, I apologize. If I was provoked, I am working on not retaliating so give me time to forgive myself so that I forgive you and can apologize for my behavior and mean it.

But, caring what race, religion or family idiots one has in their family shouldn't matter when voting for a candidate.

You put all these bloggers in a room and say, run the nation! There would be death and bloodshed within the hour.
