Obama Asserts Executive Privilege On Fast And Furious Documents

134. Too much time on my hands ...

I've been scouring (sp?) the internet and all sources on F&F. That includes here and and FR somewhat, but primarily reliable news sources. I noticed you had a pretty long argument with a guy and both of you were hurling a few implicit and explicit insults.

Some of what you say I agree with, some I don't. Same for the guy (I assume a guy - maybe woman) ... but am happy to discuss facts with you. Some of those facts include the fact that this is obviously very serious, but also yeah - the Rs are grandstanding and looking for election meat.

That said - let's have at it (and yeah I'm new, and no, I don't have an agenda except to get at the facts, so I will not attack you nor offer opinions. I'm not a big fan of either party but nor do I hate either party. I believe that America is served first when truth is served, and that once truth is served - let people argue about what action should be taken. But I represent the truth as best I can, as I hold that to be a far higher master than political party)

As of now we have Republicans attacking Holder/Obama, and we have 2 dead American law enforcement and hundreds of dead Mexicans citizens. We also have an over reaching congress intent on destroying our incumbent President, divided purely along party lines 17 - 23.

This can be a forum to get at the truth (of course we are still waiting a lot of facts from both sides) ... but given what we know, we can be smart about where we hold the thing now. I'm pretty well educated on it - but by no means can I state every minute detail nor back up every phrase (I don't have time for that) with a link to a source doc. I am open to any corrections, my ego is not attached to the truth.

My only rule (and you can make your own, I defer to the fact that you have your own currency here in the form of about 80,000 posts more than I) is that the currency in which we trade is reason and logic. Insult, innuendo, unsubstantiated ad homonym attacks are not the coin of this realm.

That said - I don't mind a little fun. Both side carry their share of not only blood, but ridiculous and inept actions that warrant barbs. A favorite quote of mine is that the history of Man is an endless cycle of 'Farce followed by Farce followed by Tragedy.' This is a humorous way of looking at both mankind's great achievements as well as the misery he has left in his (OK, her too) path.

Anyway - say hello if you like, Madam MADem, or Mr. MADem.
Thanks, looking for intelligent discussion. We could pick it up wherever you like.
