Like that business about how any government regulation of any private business is bad. Or this thread, just several posts ago, I pretty well addressed your concerns. Now all you have to say is "I know you are but what am I" or some such nonsense. If you're going to contribute to the conversation, than contribute. Back up your statements when they're challenged. Or do the most noble thing of all and admit you were mistaken. It's pointless to take the time to consider your posts and write a thoughtful response because once you're position is challenged you just move on to something else.

Sorry, I rarely get personal about this stuff anymore. Learned about that the hard way. But I'll admit you're starting to bug me. If you're going to post it, then have the nerve to defend it.

No offense intended,

Ed

Trust me, Dave. Just spin up some tunes, slap on the cans and have a cold one. Enjoy today, 'cuz I think we're fixin to run outta tomorrows.

I suppose a gentlemans way to do this would have been via private mail but you didnt seem to think I was worthy of that basic respect so I will openly respond to your thoughts.........

While I didnt ask I suppose I can atleast acknowledge your effort but I will decide what is right for me, as long as others pounce, belittle, mock, insult and accuse me of any number of wrong doings I will play the game. If I bug you thats something your going to have to come to terms with.
As long as there are those who decide to convince me nothing I believe in is worthy of their time and its pointless to argue a point I will decide when or when not to move on. I will also decide for myself what and where and when I decide to engage so with all due respect I will be fine and I dont need advice.
The Left here is very confident they have all the answers, I am confident in my beliefs also and will continue to voice them but understand while I attack Political ideas some have decided to attack me so some just seem to thrive on that and I am also completely capable of holding my own there aswell.
You worry about you and I will worry about me because I will admit your starting to bug me aswell.
No offense

Hey, at least Rush is consistently bigoted and arrogant.

Sweet guy. I guess he's doing his best to demonstrate that "compassionate conservatism" is an oxymoron.

I don't think I know everything. But, I'll damned if I haven't met plenty of people who do think they've found the eternal font of truth and wisdom.
And they are usually self described as "conservatives". Maybe that's just my perception, but I don't think so. I have yet to hear a Liberal Talk show host refer to himself as an "oracle of truth, ordained by God", as I have heard Captain Oxycontin say numerous times. Humor? Sure. But you know what? If you say it over and over again with a little chuckle included each time.......people start to believe it.

I honestly don't care if you feel belittled, mocked, or insulted. Your side has been belittling, mocking and insulting people for the last few decades. And they're getting worse every day. Feelings hurt? How does it feel? Sucks, doesn't it?

I apologize to anyone who thinks my last post was too personal. But I felt compelled to speak my piece.

No offense taken. I realize that political terminology here and back in Canada is different. I was a member of the Conservative party back there and since it was that party that instituted the Single Payer health insurance I must be a Socialist to most Americans.

Mind you most Americans would not recognize a socialist if one bit them on the arse. So by my reckoning what y'all call conservatives down here are really a bunch of people who demonstrate all the least desirable aspects of Ayn Rand's self centered Jack System.
