Glenn Beck's 'restore honor' rally... - Page 4

I'm not really interested in a protracted engagement over the matter, but it does bear noting that the economy crumbled under the watch of a Republican president, and that Fannie and Freddy were supported by a large number of Republican legislators. The mess in the Middle East was begun by a Republican administration. And all of this with the party being controlled by the far-right. And after all of that, they still have the audacity to claim that the party lost it's way by not listening to them. Garbage; they were running the show within the party, and had been since '93.

Sorry, but our [Republicans] loons are just as bad as their's. Pointing at the Democrats and saying 'crazy' just doesn't hold water.

Back to the same ole get nothing done DC, better this, than where we are going. I think I like muslims better than liberals. oh no, I'm a liberal phobe. The democrats have been in power since 06 and Obama was there for it and it got worst, look where we are at now, you want more. Yes sir, may I have another. What about Howard Dean he is koo koo for cocoa puffs.

What about him? Or Sarah Palin? Or Ross Perot? Or Ralph Nader? The Democratic Party doesn't have a monopoly on idiots.

When it comes to who's running the nation, I have to say, I dislike extremes. Extreme left is bad. Extreme right is equally bad. One part or another controlling congress and the white house is bad.

I wish this age of political extremism would go away. I want people who are logical, pragmatic, intelligent, informed, does not see the world as just black and white but also the shades of gray it really is, and can make decisions not based on faith, but on what is logical and prudent for the matter at hand. But since im dreaming big here, I also want said leaders with a sense of integrity who make decisions based on what is good the country, not for what is good special interests.

Said description doesn't exist in either party right now, and probably never will. I wonder if it ever has.

You're right on all accounts, and in all probability, it has never existed outside of ideals. I'm sure that in 10 years we'll all have something else to complain about regarding politicians.

Heh, I've talked about politics far more in the past 10 hours than I have in the past 10 years. I feel like I need a shower.

I'm still trying to decide if I'm supposed to be a Muslim, or a godless socialist.

Well, with all due respect to your phenominal cosmic powers, I believe that you are supposed to be a lesser deity yourself. Technically, we should be worshiping you.

It's been a long week. How about chronic eye boogers and a really painful cold sore?

I would be somewhat morbidly curious as to how you would pin the entire housing bubble as being the fault of one political party, but thinking through it logically, I know that it would only highlight a lack of understanding of the complex and multitude factors that contributed to a breakdown in our economic system, and I fear to witness the mental gymnastics required to place the entirety of the fault upon Democrats and Democrats alone. And lord knows that I'd have to launch into my standard non-partisan explanation of what happened, and that's just more than I want to type now.

So I'll just remain over here.

Here's a dancing bear.

Takeda Shingen · 08-26-10, 09:21 PM

That would be awesome, frau.

As a postscript, I am relieved you did not take offense. It has been a serious thread, and I was afriad that, given my track record, my comment would be seen as insulting.

I was very snippy with you when you first joined. You did not derserve that and I am sorry for my behavior. I am glad you are around. You're a better person than I.
