US Marine puts US Congressman in his place.

[Aramike]

Typical right wing BS. Doesn't make sense, but it sounds tough, and that's all that counts.

Really? Made perfect sense, even though I didn't agree completely. But I understand what he said and his motivations for saying so.

Just because you don't understand something, doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. (Even though I actually do believe that you do understand it, but as a typical lefty you find your side to be "elite" and any other opinion must be labeled nonsensical garbage.)

He's a Marine vet, so whatever he says has to be extra-true!

There is a perception in this country by many people that those who serve have earned the priviledge of speaking, whereas everyone else just excercises their right. I have no problem with that perspective as it honors the individuals who serve us all.

I could say your point makes no sense, but it does and I disagree with it. I like to think of myself as intellectually honest. You should try it.

"Stay away from my children!" Dey ain't go no need for edjikation.

Umm, you did know the context of that point wasn't education, right?

Oh, and maybe you don't get this, either (not a surprise): The Congressman is part of the FEDERAL government. Education is handled locally. The Marine was talking to the Congressman. Ergo, he was telling the Congressman to keep the federal government away from his children.

It's amazing what a little thinking can do for you. The thick irony here is that you lefties were so worked up over Bush's FEDERAL No Child Left Behind, but when a guy tells the feds to stay out of his children's lives, well that must be just some hill-billy, crazy-folk talk, right?

He gets pissed off because the plan preserves the right that he cares so much about. Brilliant. Would he be happier if it didn't give him what he wanted?

Again, you don't get something that is so incredibly obvious. He's pissed off because he doesn't feel that the federal government has any authority to "allow" us to have any rights! I agree with him, because if we start allowing the government to allow us to do certain things, we have then ceded the authority to them to DISALLOW certain things.

Quite franky, even I find it offensive when politicians say that they will "let" me do something.

It may be semantics, but with the nationalization track record of liberals over the Obama presidency, why take the risk?

And yes, how dare this administration AND THE PREVIOUS REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION take drastic measures to try and stave off another Great Depression. It would have been much better to do nothing, and let unemployment reach 30%.

Considering that only around 5% of the stimulus has actually be spent, and the economy is stabilizing, it seems as though Obama's massive spending plan has been either a failure, or a waste of 95% (which to me is also a failure).

And the thing is, he actually had notes to read off of. He took notes, and that was the best he could do?

He did better than you've done in this entire post, and you have Google and the edit function to work with.

We conveniently don't know what the Democrat's response was, but I can imagine it was weak-kneed and pathetic. They have to start calling these idiots out on their BS.

I agree (and immediately said in this thread) that the rebuttal should not have been cut.

Also, note how I have nothing to comment on regarding his Nazi tirade. He may have just been making fun of the idiot Pelosi, but to be honest, I'm REALLY sick of hearing the Nazis come up EVERY freakin' time we have a contentious issue. But I can't help but wonder if you shared the same indignation when the left wing nuts were making similarly absurd accusations about Bush...
