So who’s unamerican?

Scott, I think you got carried away and described yourself…..

“Radical homosexuals”…LOL!!

Scott, human homosexuality has been around as long as recorded history, and our population is now way over 6 billion. I laugh SO long and hard at anyone who’s so STUPID as to think homosexuality will lead to “the extinction of the human race”.

I can just hear Scott back in the 60s denigrating those “radical blacks” for wanting equal rights.

Or those “radical women” for wanting the vote.

What is it in your past that has made you so full of hatred, Scott?

Scott him is a good “ifen youse not like me, then youse ain’t wortd poo.” - Kept it real simple so he could understand and be proud.

Anyone that has been around enough to know AOL, knows about the “Ignore Button.” It is now just figurative. We can as a group ignore him/her/it.

Let’s just ignore Scottsie and maybe he’ll pipe down and go away. He has stated way too many “facts” that he made up. Lacks credibility and gives “right-wingers” a bad name.

Scottsie makes many personal attacks which are not necessary. And is very similar to a broken record. Genuine debate is good. That isn’t what Scottsie is doing.

I believe this whole board will be better off without that sort of ilk. It would also be wonderful if the party of “No” would take that stance also on a national and local level.

Republicans for many weeks have spouted things like “Death Panels,” “they want to kill grandma” and no one bats an eye. When a Democrat states his belief of the Republicans plan is:

Don’t get sick. If you do get sick, die quickly.

This one presentation resulted in a flood of demands for an apology. I don’t think an apology is warranted, at least until apologies for the numerous “death panel” type comments made by Republicans all over the US result in apologies. And, Republicans come up with a viable alternative for those without health insurance.

I know how much it costs for medical care. Without my insurance partially paid for by my employer, I’d have to sell my home and go live on the streets to pay for it all. There are millions of Americans without that benefit, yet we spend billions in Afghanistan and Iraq and are not one bit closer to catching Osama Bin Laden. Don’t forget, W & Crew started the wars and Barrack Obama inherited them.

That money could have been spent fixing bridges, roads and other American infrastructure. But, no, it is wasted fighting wars if far off lands with Americans dying. What a sad commentary on the USA.

Anthony 2816, you, me, and any number of others.

Is Scott Rush Limbaugh in disguise?

Nah, Rush understands English better.

AVAtrbr, you say you agree with Scott, but your supposed supporting statements have nothing to do with Scott’s bigoted blather.

Plus, I think you must have inadvertently switched the terms “entitlement class” and “production class”, or else said “liberals” when you meant to say “conservatives”. Either way, you have it bass-ackwards.

Scott – Denmark and Iceland are still there for you. America may be more then you can handle.

Avatrbr, let’s sit and reason. First you say liberals only want entitlements at the expense of “the production class.”

If you were really interested in the production class, you would be a liberal because that’s the primary focus of liberal effort. That would be the middle class, the workers, those who actually make things but whose jobs keep getting outsourced by the real entitlement class – the ultra-rich who have taken government money for decades now, who have not paid their share in taxes, who drive their businesses into the ground and vote themselves handy bonuses for their efforts. The folks who send American jobs to China do so not because they can’t compete but because they wanted more profit. There is such a thing as greed, and that is what has driven us to ground. Deregulation is the devil’s handmaid.

If you compare the amount of unearned government money received by the top 1% of the US with the bottom 10%, I’ll bet you’ll find the top get more.

You are right about taxes, though. I believe the rich ought to pay MUCH more in taxes because we are all in this together. Not so people who refuse to work but neither so we can hand it back to the rich in hidden paybacks. It needs to go to infrastructure, to rebuilding what has been allowed to fall apart. To making sure that Americans are healthy and can focus on working. THAT is the liberal way.

All I’ve ever seen from conservatives is the desire to cut taxes for the rich – not just cut taxes but stack the deck for them time and time again – and control what goes on in everyone else’s bedroom. Oh and make sure people can carry guns around.

Good Lord, that was long. Sorry.

that sums it up….”we hope you succeed”….NOT for what you have accomplished…but what you MAY do so in the future….Thanks President Obama for creating that warm fuzzy in the world….I trust that we are through with the condescending apologies now….at least the Nobel Peace Prize committee thinks you did a wonderful job Having said that, I am a conservative that doesn’t wish the president to fail, but understand this, I do NOT wish his socialist agenda to be accepted carte blanche….makes me a miserable human being huh…..??

cjr…to respond to your comment(s) goodness you ran the gamut! Just to address one area….(so much to say…so little time!) so much for the Republicans prattling on about grandma and grandpa going to the death panels …guess there must be some euphemistic term we must employ…How about this perspective…the left wing that considers carte blanche abortion as a choice…and not the termination of a life….Heaven forbid that aborted fetuses (from the last trimester btw) displayed by the right to lifers, are considered playing foul! That WAS a life…terminated…PERIOD….not….a choice…”hmmmmm what will it be today….chocolate or strawberry??” By any measure, you would surely agree that minorities have the highest rate of abortions…true? Do you not find it ironic…(and I am asking all liberals) that me, a ‘heartless’ Republican, would care that innocent, unborn children, would be aborted, no matter their ethnicity? I must be a religious zealot huh?? nah…..sorry….

cdward, it may have been long, but it was worth it ;oD

johndh123 too bad you don’t seem to care about them once they’re born.

johndh123, I find it ironic that most of the abortion protesters are devout christians, yet never seem upset that their loving deity slaughtered all the “innocent, unborn children” on the entire planet with The Flood.

^^God cares about them. But, I bet he would be unhappy with the burden you place upon your fellow man/woman by your “false” concern derived from your deep-seated pride and rebellion…Your self-serving altruism only obfuscates the truth. If this society was ran like responsible mature adults would run it -every baby would have a chance for a happy and productive life. Yet, pro-lifers should bear the burden of a society built on compromise with the devil and the world system? Many millions of dead babies later your goal is still a Godless Utopia. As far as taxes go…we need the adults we elected to live up to their responsibilities and organize a better way; tied to reality and not political gain or economic crises and speculation.

^^HeWhoShallRemainNameless, we covered that issue months ago. Man is evil from conception and your arms are too short to box with God.

Sure he cares about them, Puppy, as evidenced by the fact that he drowned them all.

It sure is a convoluted life for you, being a fundie christian, isn’t it? Don’t you ever get tired of claiming black is white, up is down, and drowning is caring?

Here’s something else for you to lie about, Puppy:

http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/science/10/14/darwinopterus.dinosaur.fossil/index.html?eref=igoogle_cnn

And you abort them for no reason at all. What’s the point?

I’m thinking this is a trap…We are talking about a God who spoke and the universe leaped into being…Mary never said she was “raped” by God.

I to have tried to “talk” to Scott and have come to realize the truth of that old saying: “Don’t try to teach a pig to dance (sing, think, etc.) it will only confuse the pig and frustrate you.”

Mary never said she entered into adultery with god on a consensual basis, either, Puppy.

But if you call drowning innocent unborn children “caring for them”, then I can see how you’d be willing to call rape something else, too. All part of your world.

And why do you say “I” abort fetuses “for no reason at all”. First, I’ve never aborted a fetus. Second, nice of you to assume you know what’s in the minds of the people who have gone through the procedure. Part of the ego necessary to be a good fundie christian.

She’s lucky Joseph was so gullible.

“No, dear, I didn’t cheat on you. Uh…God did it!”

And if Joseph protested, all she’d have to do is accuse him of blasphemy for questioning God’s actions, and he’d acquiesce.

Kind of like how Puppy, unable to explain away her god’s slaughtering of all the innocent unborn children on the entire planet, instead resorted to lamely telling me that my “arms are too short to box with God”, as if that’s any sort of argument.

And your legs are to short to keep up with him in a race.

And so Puppy, eyes and ears covered, blindly presses on…

How come, when everyone argues about God’s punishment for human sins, and whether homosexuality is an “abomination” does no one ever quote Ezekiel 16:49?

I’ve never met a christian, Puppy most definitely included, who doesn’t use a pick-and-choose approach to the bible.

His head in that drawing looks like a Chili Pepper.
