If you unfairly, wrongly and very publicly attack someone, shouldn't you apologize?

224. I personally feel that thread was over the top.

I don't want to get into it, but I do believe it was far less about a spouse than an agenda.

A lot of us have health problems and/or have spouses and partners with serious issues. Blaming the president is an easy way to get an emotional response when it really isn't needed.

I think there is conflation here. As I said, I like Mr. Pitt's writing. It's generally thought provoking.

The post we are speaking of was not meant to be thought provoking. It was about blame. To be honest, his loved ones are no more or less important than any one else who is a member of DU.

I have a mother in poverty, she can't get medicaid because she receives $400 too much. She can get food stamps and she is eligible for HEAP. Is my mother less important than the DU'rs wife?

My mother has SHAME about needing this help, you know why?

She thinks that help is for people who really need it. It's deranged. We have people on the left who blame the president for the ACA and people like my mother who bought the BS line that she doesn't deserve a safety net.

I have no problem calling out our elected officials when needed. That OP was a load of poop. It wasn't fear and terror. I believe Will is not driven to post out of fear and terror... unless he is.

if that is the case, well, I have misunderstood him over many a year.
