Thanks hon. It seems things are crawling out of the woodwork lately. I put 'it' on ignore.


Don't worry about them. We've got your back.
Jen,
I don't know how we can keep sending money there. It cannot be tracked, the people;e are still living in tents, and are starving and dying of disease. It seems the only way to handle this is for the government to give the money to the Red Cross and let them use it.

Desperate Haitians welcome back former tyrant 'Baby Doc'
Jan 17, 2011 |

Port-Au-Prince: A carnival-like atmosphere prevailed on Sunday as ousted strongman Jean-Claude 'Baby Doc' Duvalier returned to an earthquake-ravaged Haiti desperate for any political leadership.

It is perhaps another measure of Haiti's increasing misery - following a catastrophic earthquake a year ago, a raging cholera outbreak and an ongoing political crisis - that the leader who was driven out by popular protests in 1986 and accused of pillaging the treasury is now seen by many as a hero.

Crowds of young men - few of them old enough to remember Baby Doc's iron-fisted 15-year reign in the 1970s and 80s or his dreaded Tonton Macoutes militia - took to the streets to welcome him back from a 25-year exile.

After arriving at Port-au-Prince airport and passing through immigration Duvalier, 59, and his partner Veronique Roy were whisked by convoy to the upscale Karibe hotel, where hundreds had gathered to welcome him.

"Duvalier has returned, so we will have a real country now. We are glad that he is here to restore the country's image," said Ronald Brevil, 25, who had earlier rushed to the airport to see the leader he never knew.


As for Baby Doc, I don 't get it. That would like the German people welcoming Hitler back. "SIGH".

Thanks, but you would think adults on a public forum could go above the level of a five year old throwing a tantrum.
I may a pledge to myself to not respond to it any more. I do find it ironic that the left, who swears rhetoric from the right caused the shooter to go nuts (it couldn't have, he was there long before the Tea Party) are know using hate rhetoric against the right.

A new oxymoron.
While so many people including myself identify with one group or another at any given time over any given issue, we must all realize when we throw rocks at the opposition, that one day when the fight changes to a separate issue, your buddy is now your opposition, and your foe is now your friend.

Imagine, dividing a massive group into conservatives and liberals, walk away with your group. Now divide that group into life vs. choice, walk away with your now smaller group, now gun control vs. gun rights, walk away, now Auburn vs. Alabama, walk, now hetero vs. gay, now atheist vs. christian, now white vs. black, now leash law vs. free to roam, now so on and so on. Pretty soon you are in a group of one so you will have to throw rocks at everyone.

Imagine having to fight a cause in some way and teaming up with your buddy only next week you take up another cause and now you have to oppose him. It never ends, don't take so seriously to degrade each other, just dis-agree, and still meet and greet after each battle.

Just dont attack the person. Stick to attacking their position on an issue rather than making the person and the issue the same.

Iraq has seen the return of Muqtada al-Sadr.
Sadr, the radical cleric whose violent militancy once made him among the United States' most implacable enemies in Iraq, was making an unexpected return to his homeland after four years of voluntary exile in neighboring Iran. The US has given up on the formation of a stable, western-friendly Iraqi government.

Well, you just don't stand by and take it then! LOL! Go ahead and defend your helpless friend against big, bad Gekko/Cooper. Big Grin

I'm sure you've never reported posts by b50m, ferrellj, Ronnie P., Fighting Illini, marksw59, Jennifer, or any of the other conservatives on this forum because they've never said anything mean or hateful on this forum have they? They've never harassed the liberals or called them names like idiot, stupid, ignorant, libtard, etc. have they?

Now do you think that would make Jesus proud? Do you think Jesus plays favorites? From what I've read in the Bible Jesus wants all his children to play nice, so why don't you call out the conservatives on this forum, missy? Big Grin

Don't worry about them. We've got your back.


"We've got your back?" What, are you in third grade or something? That's priceless! LOL!

"Got your back" from what? It looks like the liberals have left the building (or are on their way out), so you conservatives have fun talking to yourselves and bringing the politics forum here to a stop. Well, maybe not a stop, maybe down to two posts a day. LOL!

****, Jennifer, by posting these anti-Christian rants on the politics side of the forum, some of the rabid right wingers may see you as a "TOOL" of the devil Eeker and therefore an enemy in the "eyes" of God! Roll Eyes After all, you seem to align yourself with the "Christian Coalition" and a right winger as espoused by Bill Gray on the religious side. Are you in one of the pergatory existences between "saved" conservatives and "****ed" liberals?????? Which do you subscribed????????? Eeker

Rocky, your ignorance is showing again. Better zip it up.


Nasty post alert!

Ferrell called Rocky ignorant and told him he BETTER (that's a threat) zip it up. Has anyone reported this? O No?

That's rockhead, the liberals guru.


Nasty post alert!

Rockhead is not nice. Did anyone report this?
For your information, I am a liberal. It's one thing to tell someone they have crazy ideas, but anyone who starts getting personal with their insults deserves to be reported. What you said about B was so low, I'd think YOU would be embarassed to even post it.

I have often said that B and I would make a good example to anyone on how to DISCUSS our political differences without crawling through the gutter to do so. You, on the other hand, have been slimed in that gutter. Now why don't you go take a shower.

Posts like yours give liberals a bad name.

Enjoy that "most likable liberal" award, O No. From what I've read here in politics you're liked (and they tell you they "enjoy your posts") ONLY as long as you agree with the majority. The moment you stop agreeing with them, you're suddenly an idiot. LOL!

Based on your past posts, I used to have some respect for you, O No. Not anymore. Looks like you've found a home here with the hateful (and hypocritical) right-wingers.
Thank you for the kind words. Now I have to try really hard to follow my own advice. It's hard to not get muddy while being dragged thru the mud sometimes. We are all individuals, why would anyone want someone else to think exactly as you do on every issue? We would all be clones and life would be pretty boring. I think majority should always rule, period, it just gets tough watching the majority slide to views that oppose my own, but I will live with it, but only when the MAJORITY has changed. We do not need to change ahead of the curve. JMO.

I think if you will go back and look you will find that most of the time when a conservative jumps in a gutter it's because someone from the left started it. O is one of the few liberals with the class to actually discuss subjects. Sometimes buttercup can but she kinda got a little crazy over the Arizona shooting. If you go back and look at all 44 of your posts you started out a lot like rocky, throwing fireballs from the beginning.

Isn't it odd how all of you RETHUGLITEACONS are suddenly having selective memory of your posts and the vicious attacks that have came to not only me but other posters who were liberal on this forum???? While your position is laudable LE89, you will notice that ferrellj just COULDN'T pass up the opportunity to give you a slam by comparing your first post to mine, and GOD knows I am the DEVIL to all right wingers on this forum. Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

Once again I will point out the hypocrisy and in this case we will use ferrellj.
I have a pretty good memory too, and if you want to research you will find a post where ferrellj made the statement in a post that if I had been raised by a GOOD conservative mother I would be a better person (I don't have THAT good a memory, I actually think it was more vitriolic) Attacking someone's MOTHER is civil??
You are living in a fool's paradise if you think the posters on this forum who are right wing in any way can NOT resort to personal attacks if you state opinions which are opposite of theirs.
It all goes back to FOX NEWS! They have been indoctrinated that way. They are FOXOPHILES! Wink
It is an illness, and although it is hard, sometimes you have to remember that when the mortar shells are really flying. Hypocrisy and beligerence are ingrained in their minds. Frowner

Keep trying wicked right wing witch from North of Waterloo, I do LOVE the TNF but try as you might, you or nobody else is going to run me off of this forum. It is my hometown, I have lived here all my life and to tell you the truth, for no other reason than SOMEONE has to represent the few TRUE liberals who actually post on here, I will stay. What you want is another version of Fox News on this forum and really don't want ANY voices of dissention. You almost had it, but thanks to some of the posters who have left and ME there will be LOTS of new posts from liberal on here, from VARIOUS happy forums. Some folks like to watch the CLOWNS!!!!!

I don't personally recall being slammed by ferrellj and have looked and I don't see it.

I have stated my opinions on this forum a few times now and been slammed no matter what I say about any subject.

I can accept MOST anyone's right to believe anything they choose however when I am ridiculed for my own thoughts it becomes difficult to remain civil sometimes. I try not to say anything here I would not say in front of a crowd. Knowing a lot of issues are 50/50, I would not intentionally insult 50% of any crowd by calling them names over their party choice, news they watch, social views, etc. In turn, I would expect not to be insulted for the same reasons, but when I am, the gloves come off.

I will continue to try to remain civil on most any issue. I consider myself to be fairly conservative, my best friend is extremely liberal (in my opinion). He's still my best friend. When we venture a discussion on political or social issues, it almost always ends with an impass very quickly. We both acknowledge each other's right to our opinions, the most important part. We don't insult each other. We're still best friends, have been for over 35 years.

I said in another post, I want majority to rule, period. Only when the time comes though. I do NOT want the minority of any issue to be victorious ahead of their time. I do not want a civil war by any means, but I do not want the minority of any issue steering the wagon. I want Gov't to listen to the people who put them in Office, not to the people who opposed putting them in office. If that is done, majority will always rule, and it will always be fair. Society will adapt as needed. On some issues, there is no middle ground, which creates turmoil, but again majority rules and I will accept that either way, as long as the majority is listened to.

Before anyone construes "majority or minority" as a party or racial spew, spare me, I am talking about numbers, people, population, period.

Perhaps I read this wrong. Whose 44 post was ferrellj referring to??? By "slam" I meant THIS slam since (AS I STATED) anytime a poster is compared to ME on this forum from a right winger it is an insult! (Thank God! Razzer)
Do I have to go back over EVERY post on this forum for you people??
I could make a reference about a FOXOPHILED brain, but I will just let it go. Big Grin
