(11,122 posts)You cannot stop writing insulting posts while complaining that you are being insulted.
You clearly don't know what is going on in America, but feel like you can weigh in with authority. You remind me of so many who vaulted to the republican party under reagan. They did not agree with anything he did. They supported equal rights, gun control, civil rights, a woman's right to choose. But like you all those principles fell to the side when confronted with what they saw as a "winner", a charismatic actor who read lines.
Now you choose to bow out of the conversation rather than describe how you justify blind faith in the Obama administration while stating so forcefully that you don't agree with fundamental elements of his actions.
So you duck out, unable to justify your attack on liberals in the US, unable to do the right thing which would be to apologize and ask for enlightenment. You watch a few news shows in Canada and suppose you can lecture lifelong liberal Democrats in the US about what is happening in their own country. That is insulting. That is hubris of the first order.
I watch television too. I wouldn't presume to tell a Canadian that I knew more about his country and his country's politics than he did. I would ask for examples. I would ask for links to places where I could learn.
But not you. You insult me and every thinking Democrat and then whine that you have had your feeling hurt. Don't come here with that supercilious attitude backed with very little insight and expect not to be challenged. Ducking our may be your only hope.
