Mr Shield spins his version of the truth completely ignoring the fact that the republicans has increased the federal deficit once again by holding firm to tax cuts for the rich. Big oil, the insurance industry and the Banks to name a few have record profit years as the rest of the nation suffers through the worst economic crisis in my lifetime. Yet, where are the jobs? Why are the banks not loaning money to small business to help stimulate the economy? You can not complain about deficits on one hand and ignore them on the other for the purpose of praising you party. But it is his right to spin this anyway he wants. But the facts are all around us and ignoring them is not going to make things better.
First the constitution is a living document changing over time to reflect the needs of the people. Second. Hiding your identity helps you to hide proudly behind your words (my opinion). I do not agree with personal attacks, snarky comments and outright distortions of facts. I am a liberal independent. While I lean left, I find the middle a lonely place over the last few years. The Healthcare debate, imigration all should be solved by now but, the polarizing left and right continue to vilify eachother like a couple of 5 year olds. Disagreement is healthy, Shouting so loud as to drown out the opinions of others (personal attacks, snarky comments )has become to normal and poisons the debate.
In short I agree with 1, 2, and 3. I hope you stay around
Giving Americans a "right" to quality healthcare is far from cummunism. The Problem is Democrats are spineless. Had they stood up the the Radical Right Wing and exposed them as being in the pockets of Pharma and the Insurance industry, The right wig would have had no choice but to come back to the center and do what is best for all americans.
There is great passion and power in your views (which I mostly agree with). But using name calling make you as bad as any "Tea Partier" looking to excersize there "second amendment remedies". Ht them with the facts and contiue puting your strongest passion into your views. But don't sink to their level. We are better than that.
I will agree with you that the word scumbag was poor choice. Shame on you Tron (finger wagging and all). That said, there seems to be no right wing beyond radical right and that is a shame also. If you are impressed with the way republicans have conducted themselves in the last 20 years then you have also lost sight of the middle. Conservative values are important to this country. So is disagreeing without being disagreeable. the middle is where the left and the right have a meeting of the minds to benefit this country. It is where compromise has taken place since the birth of our country. This is where we should all strive to be (in my opinion).
Thanks for letting me know the origin of the word scumbag as I had never heard the definition before. Now get verified and stand proudly behind opinions.
Ben is gone. Good for the public discoarse I believe. He would rather spew personal attackes that have a gealthy debate on issues. Sorry. Won't miss him :o)
I will if you will. When you make a blanket statement like "the rich pay 80% of the taxes" you should do the same. Otherwise your are just spouting off at the mouth. http ://zfacts.com/p/318.html http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/federal_deficit_chart.htmlhttp://www.factcheck.org/article148.html I fully expect you to reject all sources out of hand as I have seen you do before. But others will find them useful.
A castle that has been built so you may feel safe to spew hatred, baseless opinons and ignorance. One built on fear. Good luck with that approach. In the mean time . It is not your place to judge me. Only my opinions. If you feel you need to protect you and your family from confrontation then, sadly, you have no clue. I welcome confrontation of my opinion. That is what sharing opinions is all about. To state the truth as I know it and to either learn I am wrong or defended my beliefs cause I know I am right. Your personal attacks are cowardess at best. I welcome the chance to debate people with integrity. But, again, apparently you are not one of them. As you said, all you post online is crap ;o)
Your words seem to have some much power as you hide in the corner of your world. Don't be afraid. I wonder how powerful your words and opinions would be if you actually manned up and got verufied. I wonder what kind of words you would have then? :O)
The rich do not pay 80% of the taxes in this country. That statement does not come from the "horses head". And nobody hates "the rich". We grow to aspire to be "the rich". When the Nations wealthiest people say they do not need or want a tax cut and they still get one... That is the problem here. What is best for the nation is not what republicans are notorious for doing. For many years, they appear to be self serving. Perhaps I am wrong. But if I am, you got a lot of history to recover from to prove it. Every Republican administration in my lifetime has added more to the deficit than any Democratic administration. That is an archived fact. So it seems the problem is the Republicans track record breads discontent. Can you blame us?
and once again
