In reply to the discussion: I don't enjoy GD anymore [View all]bravenak
(34,648 posts)195. You began your rant by talking down to me like I'm a child.
You reap what you sow. I am a grown woman and I don't need some man I don't know talking to me like I'm an idiot.
This is from you.
But now, you and others expect us to blindly and with sweetness oozing from our lips praise Obama, Biden, and Kerry for their war mongering, stern 'Red Lines' and standing by their words to save the poor babies of Syria bullshit. No thank you.
Yes, that is the kind of mindless personality cult thinking that leads me and many others here to make 'venomous posts' about how wrong this Neocon war game really is whether it is pushed by a Bush or an Obama.
I never said anything like that. I stated that I wasn't for the war but I'll trust him to get it done quickly, and hopefully with low casualties. It's happening whether I like it or not.
I did say that he made a red line and now he has to stick by it.
Now lets get to it.
1. Bush wasn't in office when it ended. If Obama was so blood thirsty he could have forcibly kept the troops in Iraq. He didn't . He pulled them out. He wanted to leave some forces there but he couldn't and that was that.
2. I said he's ending the war in Afganistan. Not ended, ending.
3. LBJ initiated Medicare and Medicaid. Obama reformed them. Key word reform. Medicare didn't exist before that so he could not reform something that was not formed yet.
4. Spoiled because you are soo mad you didn't get your way that your bitterness bleeds into your writing. I want single payor. It will happen. Maybe even before I'm dead. That's my opinion. It's okay if I have some of those right?
5. I'm glad he evolved on gay rights. You should be too if you really care.
6.Sorry you were vilified. You picked your party.
7. Yes he does fix problems. I'm too young? Thank you. You must be an older, middle to upper middle class white male. That type always takes it upon themselves to let us young ladies know what we don't understand yet. You want me to make you a sandwich? Wash your clothes, m'lord?
8. If you learn to express yourself in a way that doesn't come off rude, mean and vicious, you'd get a better result.
Of course I assumed you voted for Bush. You were a republican.
You are too puffed up with your own consequence.
If I grow up, will you stop drinking before you post?
This was fun. Lets do it again sometime.
