I am sick of thread
I am sick of having my posts deleted because I have the nerve to defend myself.

5. Go with the flow. Observe, learn and adapt.

You'll probably not change the mind of a fellow member you may be arguing with but how you conduct yourself and how well you present your case may influence others who may be following the exchange.

9. I don't always follow my own advice!
It's very easy to lose one's cool and resort to composing snarky replies and forgetting that there is an audience who won't be swayed by such.

11. You know that Facebook group I've mentioned?
This one?

http://www.facebook.com/pages/OBAMA-One-Big-Ass-Mistake-America/210590404029

Well, I find it most satisfying to go there and argue with them.

They are even more stupid than the Freepers!

I find it much less frustrating to go where I am anticipating anti-Obama rhetoric and argue about it than it is to come to DU (GD) and find it where it shouldn't be and have to argue about it, anyway.

16. One of them posted the other day
about Obama having been in office for four months. And this was a college student! A BLACK college student! WHO IS MAJORING IN BUSINESS SO HE CAN START PRIVATE SCHOOLS TO IMPROVE EDUCATION!

You just can't make this stuff up.

20. Yes. You CAN make this stuff up.
I'm willing to bet that poster was neither black nor a college student. Such are the joys of anonymity on the Internet. It wouldn't surprise me if this person calls into CSPAN on the "Democratic" line, claiming that he's "a lifelong Democrat, but am switching to republican because they're so awful now." They do shit like that because they think it discourages real Democrats, or otherwise makes them look bad to independents. Lots of trolls here on DU doing the same thing.

22. But that person
has no reason to troll on that Facebook page.

It was started especially to flame President Obama.

Why would someone post that Obama has been in office for four months. Idiotic.

There would be no reason that I can see to make THAT up.

23. The "four months" thing...
Yep. Definitely idiotic. One more reason I think that person was neither black nor a college student. Blatant stupidity is one of the hallmarks of these wingnuts who pretend to be something they are not. It often gives them away.

24. He blamed it on
our inferior public school system. But where does personal responsibility come into it?

If you're too detached from reality to have not picked up a newspaper or watched a TV news broadcast, do you not bear a great deal of responsibility for your own ignorance?

If you're going to remain so ignorant, why put that ignorance on display for the whole world to see? It leaves me shaking my head, no matter who he is. (His Facebook photo is that of a young black male, of course.)

15. LOL! Someone actually posts freedom is dead now that Obama is president.
Hello, McFly, you're posting just fine. If freedom were dead, you wouldn't have the right to be stupid!

17. How about the "logic" in this one?
Edited on Thu Mar-11-10 11:33 PM by TicketyBoo
I know some of you people who think there can be some middle of the road answer but the facts is, when you stand in the middle of the road long enough, you're going to get run down. Some say Obama hasn't done anything, others think Obama is the second coming. When people want us all to come to the middle of the road they feel lonely because nobody wants to take the middle and misery loves company. Our fear is he's done plenty, but what he's done will ruin our economy & country. I don't know why some of you keep arguing with the fools on the left, I guess you just aren't sick of it yet and haven't learned how to block these race baiter's and malcontents. I know a lot of you aren't used to being confronted by the left and standing up for yourselves and your principles, but you get a think skin and pretty soon you will care what they say to a point, but learn when to ignore them most of the time. Just remember most of these leftists would bitch about being hung with a new rope. Let them keep thinking with their lemming mentality and syphilitic minds they have a disease that resists truth and light.
So when they get to you with their pack of made up lies they have bought by leftist leaders remember they have an investment in those lies, you're messing with their faith and belief system so that leads us to their religion. Religion mixed with politics and whatever they make up in their lost minds you have to take it on faith they're telling you the truth as they see it. The one problem they have is thinking feelings are facts.
We all who are of a classic liberal mind (Libertarian/conservative) believe in our freedom, principles, ethics and honesty in our government and a strict following of the constitution. We believe in helping our neighbor from our own assets as opposed to the theft of others assets to be given away to those who don't deserve it.
George Bush had his short comings, but as far as Presidents go he was in "almost" the same class as Regan in many ways and his short comings were like some of Jimmy Peanuts for Brains Carter. Our problem has become they never will get over the loss to Algore. The leadershit on the left has to keep whipping up emotions of their followers, sooner or later this will burn out and has for the most part right now, except for the extreme hardcore lunatics we see here on this page, most are a wolf in sheep's clothing. The hardcore leftists here have 20 plus face book accounts and try to look like many when they are really a few.... Ok so that's my rant today. Feel lucky I shared LOL :Þ


He's claiming that WE are the ones mixing religion and politics? And "Libertarian/conservatives" are "of a classic liberal mind?" Have you ever seen a more confused individual?

25. Not that I didn't have one before, but I'm ready now - I'm sick of -
- providing actual evidence against a hysterical assertion about HCR, and then having the discussion shift to other instantly made-up doomsday scenarios, then having it devolve into nothing more than profanity-laced/name-calling hysterics.
