Congressman Allen Boyd Now on Palin's "Hit" List!

[poppy]

It would behove you to read and digest what I post or keep your mouth shut! It also might benefit you to realize I wasn't answering any query from you but from someone else although I realize we all do that but it would help if you read the post I was answering.
FYI, regarding civil rights. I knew what civil rights were before you were born and grew up in totally integrated schools. Please do me the courtesy of understanding that you are not the only one on the board with vast knowledge and experience. Though I know mine is real, I am not sure about yours.
As to the war mongering. There is no one on the board who hates war more than I do but when you are asked to participate and you have chosen a career field that deals in it, you have little choice. Either participate or get out. I chose the former. More importantly, when you have lost 14 of your comrades in less than two months, you come and tell me what it is you are. War monger does not ring true under those circumstances.
There are violent senseless episodes in every heated dispute. Many of us do not like the direction our country is heading. Most of us will peacefully protest that direction. A few loons and fatheads will not. They are obviously on both sides of the political spectrum. One last thing. Its not teabaggers, its tea party movement participants, most who have jobs, are retired or are just plain interested in seeing their children and grandchildren not saddled with a debt for which they are not responsible. You're a smart guy, SWGB, start showing it instead of showing off.

Read his post in the "this goes straight to the pope" thread and then question his life experience again.

It really is a shame you will be deciding your vote on the grounds you dislike someone who calls out a representative who makes up his mind on which way his party's wind blows and ignores the obvious wishes of the majority of his constituents. Allen Boyd is the perfect microcosm of whats wrong with our congress and why they have a teen approval rating.

Someone whom I strongly disagree with on almost every issue and who is "leading" a group of people whose opinions, tactics, and behavior I strongly disagree with is strongly against a certain politician.

Don't need a magic eight ball to see that said politician will probably be getting my vote.

The enemy of my enemy and all that.

Latest Sarah P quote:

We're not the party of no, she told the energized crowd, we're the "party of hell no!" Palin derided "this BS coming from the lame-stream media about us inciting violence."
​

This at a McCain rally - so, my last shred of respect for him is now gone. Screaming "we're the party of Hell No" at an "energized" crowd? This is not encouraging them to think, to agree, to make decisions, it's encouraging them to pick up pitchforks and follow her.

Where are the decent, intelligent Republicans who want to make the world better and safe for capitalism? I can't find any. I've been driven out of this party since W took office because I don't define my entire existence around abortion, gay marriage and gun rights, and I still like an idiot continued to vote for them, thinking they were pro-business. Now they're just pro-BS.

Me and Ron Paul. There are a few others, who are continuously painted as wingnuts. Ron Paul is a wingnut, and Sarah Palin is a patriot. If Barry Goldwater were to rise and walk the earth again, he'd be painted as too soft on abortion and gun rights. And, no doubt, discredited by the pimps at the RNC.

The fact that Sarah Palin is now having to come to Arizona to help get John McCain elected ought to be the tipping point for a lot of conservatives.

Since we all know how well this went the last time they teamed up and the loonies she attracts, it really makes one question John Mcain's common sense.

Jack Cafferty's comment on the Palin appearance in Arizona:

"
He's being challenged in the primary and with the general disdain for all of the members of Congress, it's not inconceivable he could get knocked off.


But if you're in danger of drowning, why would you ask someone to throw you an anchor?

Once again we're back to obey your elders. I do apologize for the napalm reference, that was a low blow, but being told to shut up isn't exactly going to get me to hold my tongue.

It's great that you grew up in desegregated schools without incident. My father grew up in Florida and witnessed beatings, fire hoses, and dogs. I witnessed a riot at my middle school fueled by racial unrest. I believe goodwitch58 was in Tallahassee for the Deer Lake Middle School riot and may remember it.

I really think he has "lost it" and should go home and write a book....

McCain just likes having Caribou Barbie around, that's all it is.

SWGB, I thank you for the reasonably civil response. That said, I suggest you go back and read the sentence regarding "shut up". It had a qualification attached.
I now love Florida as I live here and love SoWal. But I grew up in Colorado and had very little contact or interest in segregation. It just didn't happen, though admittedly ther was a passive separation between whites, mexicans and blacks. It didn't show up in classes or sports. It did socially and, to a great degree, still does if you are honest about it. Everybody's experience with race relations is different. Mine, for instance, besides being raised in integrated schools, is also shadowed by my military service. Despite what many think, there is a lot of social interaction among races and I had many black friends. Suffice it to say, everyone's experiences regarding race is different.

I can relate to this, while serving on a ship overseas one of my closest friends was black (this was pre African-American).
