TEXAS SECESSION- what are your thoughts?

You don't watch the news do you? Well, how about calling the Fort Hood shooting 'Workplace Violence' rather than a terrorist attack. And how about blaming the Libya attack on a video nobody saw rather than on Al Qaeda. And for letting bin Laden escape, well, FYI Bill Clinton, a Democrat, had opportunities to kill Bin Laden, but let him go and if Clinton would have done his job then 9/11 might never had happen.

How about Obama saying at his UN speech that 'those that insult the prophet of Islam will not rule this world'. You don't consider that bending down to Islamist?

And for voting the American People voting for Obama, well, considering we are 300 Million, a very small percentage actually voted for him.

I think you are the one that needs to educate yourself, dude, because you

Sore losers ... and why all this bullshit about Obama bending down to Islamists, whatever that means, when Obama got Bin Laden where the Republicans let him escape across Tora Bora? And if you need an extra sword, maybe you should fall upon it yourself ... for treason.

The American people voted for Obama ... twice ... and both times by as close to a landslide as we'll ever see. Republicans will never be satisfied by anything less than a coup d'etat, with themselves as the victors. And this will be the end of the American dream forever. Pick up a history book, and pretend you have a brain. Originally Posted by ozmosys

And what exactly did Obama say at the UN speech? Fox News and other voices of hatred will pick out what they want to hear, out of this:

" The future must not belong to those who target Coptic Christians in Egypt -- it must be claimed by those in Tahrir Square who chanted, “Muslims, Christians, we are one.” The future must not belong to those who bully women -- it must be shaped by girls who go to school, and those who stand for a world where our daughters can live their dreams just like our sons.

The future must not belong to those corrupt few who steal a country’s resources -- it must be won by the students and entrepreneurs, the workers and business owners who seek a broader prosperity for all people. Those are the women and men that America stands with; theirs is the vision we will support.

The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. But to be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see in the images of Jesus Christ that are desecrated, or churches that are destroyed, or the Holocaust that is denied. "

The same voices of hatred will ignore inconvenient factoids like this one:

"Petraeus also said some early classified reports appeared to support Rice's statement that the deadly raid had grown out of a protest that had been hijacked by extremists."

Or little tidbits of nuance such as this one:

"The congressmen believe Hasan, despite being known to colleagues as an unstable, radical Islamist, was promoted in the Army and not fully investigated after suspicious behavior because the military was afraid being seen as biased against his religion. They think that hesitancy is still at play in deciding what to call the shooting."

In the hate-mongers world view, there are no shades of gray. Everything is black and white. And if you don't see the world in the exact same way as they do, well they'll just need another sword.

Ahh... we've found the five HATERS in Austin! Hope you got your Board of Education candidates elected and sanctified? Glad my kids are out of school so they don't need to learn about creationism in science class -- rubes!

Glad you stepped up.

Now, please step off!

At first I thought you were telling me to step off. But I don't think that's what you meant. Although it's very tempting.

It's very tiring to go on Google and type in all of their bullshit, and then be reminded of the truth. Which I already knew because I l isten to NPR every day.

But it's a different thing to hear and understand, than it is to generate a response. That takes time and energy.

So next time we have some dumb shit with a sword basically threaten us? Don't be silent! Just remind yourself, I may die by his sword some day, but I will not live by it.

Life is so short. We have to live for something.

I think that this sword business just might be an overcompensation for an inadequate dick.

He just lost and he doesn't know it yet. Probably in the closet sharpening his sword.

Yeah, he'll never recover from that one. I'm safe from all attacks now.
