Please how can I answer this...........

I live in a small ruralish community and this came up on the local blog - I am so tired of the redneck, rputhugs living here and I almost want to bury my head but then I want to come out swinging at the lies, etc. Advise please..............

In the news today. ISIS beheads another journalist. The southern border has illegal aliens streaming across, some of which may be terrorists. Fed chair Janet Yellen said monetary policy faces serious limitations. President Obama plays his 209th game of golf. Sources say he may turn pro after his term expires.
Now for the top story. Highland residence have a pissing match over the word "Stole". Feelings hurt. Film at eleven.

I'm serious. Why get yourself so worked up what they say? You won't change their minds, and unless you're planning on moving away from there, you have to stop giving it your attention or you'll go insane. Read the news to stay informed and do things that make you feel good.

They are the party that ruined Iraq so that ISIS could come into being; they ruined the immigration system and now refuse to fix it; they tanked the economy probably on purpose and refuse any bills which could fix it. As for the golf, I would believe your count only if you present a notorized list of dates and times he played. Even at that he averages one game every 10 days, which is not very often for any avid golfer.

He's not doing the John McCain.

John McCain, or even Romney would come up with half cocked ideas that do more harm than good.
Attacking right now would put us in an unfavorable position.

There really isn't much to be done other than see how things go.
Might as well enjoy yourself.

So, at the moment, caution is the better part of valor. Getting us in to another conflict with not enough information is a recipe for disaster.
