Wait. So you'll judge a man unpatriotic for not putting his hand over his heart during a stupid song, but you'll support a group wanting to no longer even be part of this country? That's confusing my friend. How can you claim to think along the lines of Libertarianism, when you willingly support a McCain administration?
It's not a stupid song. It is our National Athem. Referring to it as a stupid song is insulting. Yes I can sympathize with a group wanting to no longer be a part of our country, I am Southern. We tried to leave a few years ago, remember...? I am sorry to confuse you, you should remember that people are not die-hard cut & dry, this or that, black or white. There is a lot of gray. I can give you several examples of gray just in my own beliefs. (If you want examples, PM me). I do have more in common with the politics of the Liberaration party but I am support Mccain in this election as I like his choice of Palin. It's not that I am a diehard support of Mccain. But we all know the Liberatarian party has no chance in winning and I prefer Mccain to Obama.
Everything has a bias. I'd love to see a person who isn't, to one degree or another. So, you are right in pointing out the "bias" in the blog. But are you sure you just aren't looking for bias? Are you sure you just aren't seeing what you want to see? If you assume anyone who supports Obama is a liberal anti-Christian nutjob, you'll make very little progress in your researching the facts journey.
No, I am not looking for a bias. I am just saying that I don't believe everything a liberal blogger says about a conservative candidate and by that same token I don't take things convervatives say about liberals as gospel either. I though I had said that adequately in my previous post when I said "Both sides tell lies, read all of the lies & all of the research and choose for yourself. That is what I am trying to do." Nor do I assume that anyone who supports Obama is a liberal, anti-Christian, nutjob. In fact, I can't find that in any of my previous posts.
Yes, Palin is a tad more closer to a normal American in terms of schooling. I could ask, is that such a good thing?
Is it such a good thing? I don't know, only the future will tell, but it is a different thing. It should be obvious that the same-old same-old isn;t working as well as we'd like.
I could make the argument many others have made: that I'd rather have a genius elitist in office than an average idiot. But I won't make that argument, because it's too.. strict.
Ok.
So I'll say that although you are right to an extent, the fact is Palin is just like the Obama and Biden that you seem to dislike. She just tries to hide that with a wink and a "doggonit, you betcha" attitude. But I suppose that's what you like about her.
I don't get where you're coming from on what I dislike. I have stated what I dislike and it has nothing to do with Palin. All politicians lie, all politicians use deceit and doublespeak, ALL of them. Period. I have been there & lived it & seen it firsthand and to an extent that I doubt anyone posting on these forums has.
No, Obama didn't make a SMART decision in choosing not to salute. But he didn't make a WRONG decision. The rest is just irrelevant.
You're right it was an accident. But like I said if you either a) Won't solute or b) Aren't smart enough to know that you should solute, you should be tossed out on your ass. But that wasn't the only incident I am speaking of, he said there were 57 states! Never in my life have I been tired or confused enough not to know that there are only 50 states in the United States of America.
To be fair, I wouldn't really say I'm "arguing" with you. I hope not, anyway. I happen to believe we're just discussing our two stances and trying to maybe, find a middle? Anyway, regardless, I HAVE read. Please don't say I need to read more into Christianity. Despite my previous comment, I find that to be a little insulting, though it is through no fault of your own. Yes, I am an atheist. But I don't hate Christianity. The only reason you decided to say I'm spewing "anti-Christian liberal"-ness is because I did what you did: I took events from a small minority in a religion and used it to put down everyone else in that circle. That's why I said "Oh, right, because one book openly says to do what the other book's 'peaceful' followers have BEEN doing all along anyway." Not because I actually think like that, but because it illustrated my point for you. Christians bomb kill innocent people in bombings, and beat their children if they don't "love Jesus enough". But I don't take that and assume everyone else does that and thus hate all Christians. I just weep for the sad few who hide behind a religion as an excuse to do terrible deeds they would have otherwise done.
First off let me say, I do not care if you are an atheist. I have lots of friends who are, it is their choice & I support them in it. My Brother who grew up in the same house as me, went to the same Baptist Church is now a devout Wiccan. His choice & I support him fully in it.
Also, I never meant to say that you were anti-Christian, liberal-ness, just that it's the same arguement I have heard time & time again. So I was suggesting to you that you research both and I still am suggesting it to you. If you find that offensive, I am sorry.
One thing I will say, I am trying to reply to what you post, only. You seem to be trying to read more into what I am saying and thusly your replies are becoming a bit irrational and you're making claims and assumptions about me that are far off base. If this discussion is to keep going, then please on reply to what I am saying exactly and do not make any assumptions. Thank You.
