You know what that person meant--terrorist not terrier.  Don't knock that person either--because I've come across lots of misspelling so who are you to judge--just saying!!!

The point was that you don't go all caps, yelling at how stupid Americans are, all the while misspelling words and making yourself look like an idiot. She insulted everyone all the while saying we were attacked by terriers. We know what she meant, but if you're going to call people stupid, be prepared to have something like that called out--just saying  :wave:

Well, people are entitle to their opinions!!!  I know I'm not a stupid American so I don't care what the person said I don't feel she insulted me! I really do not care!  I'm still an American citizen and I don't see her moving out of the country and of course there is the Freedom of Speech.  May not like what the person says but they have the right to say it!!  Well let's but it another, no one in this forum is not that important that what they says upsets you so badly that you go rant about it for two or three pages.  History has shown over and over again that nothing is going changed unless enough people want it change and decide they had enough and do something about.  Otherwise "it's business as usual."
I agree with you that people are entitled to their opinions.  I believe also, that when tantricia exploded the way she did, she knew she was going to get a lot of reactions and responses.  It seems to me that you are implying that it's okay for her to use the Freedom of Speech, however, those people you are getting on to for ranting on two or three pages have the privilege of the Freedom of Speech as well.

That said, it's of my opinion that since the election did not go the way she wanted it to, that the Republicans, Independents, and non-voters are at fault.  When in actuality, it's pretty obvious, to me, that the people that did vote and had the majority, sent a message to Obama and Pelosi that enough is enough. I, for one, am pleased to see how the election turned out. That's just my opinion.

Love it! You are absolutely right!
That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.

You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into in the first place.

I was really hoping she'd have replied to my post that I did originally.
I guess this was just her way of venting and yet not having any ability to come and make a well thoughtout post in reply.

Oh well.
I'm sure she has seen it.  You have a lot for her to read through and figure how to either come back at you, or even possible, consider what you said and be flexible.  You had a super post!

Color?  The Republicans I know aren't concerned about color.  They are concerned about our country and where it is headed, including government control, Healthcare Reform, jobs and the economy, Muslim groups that are trying to insert Sharia Law into our borders, Social Security, Welfare programs, etc.  There are Republicans, Democrats, Independents, etc., that are putting our country's needs first as opposed to others from the same parties that are wanting to tear our country down and instead line their own pockets with excess monies that our country and its normal citizens need.

I'm 24yrs old and still not a registered voter. I don't wanna feel responsible for electing a fool as our president or anything else. Of course, I expect the person to make mistakes. I just wish Obama and whoever else would quit spending so much money. Anyways, Im happy with my decision to not be a registered voter :)

You have a chance to make sure Obama quits spending by voting him out.   You cannot complain about how our country is headed if you don't take the time vote.  That is what America is all about.

Humans aren't causing it.  Also over the last 8 years temperatures have increased.  Not so convenient truth.

If I can find a way to get on welfare, I will gladly accept your taxes to support me.

I voted republican because I don't think its fair for me and my family to have to pay for others who do not or will not work. I understand some people can't, but there are too many people in this country who abuse the welfare system and the new health care system will be the same way. Call me selfish, I don't care, but I want to live in America, not a socialist society. I feel like you should get what you work for, and the rate the Democrats were going, my taxes were going to be higher than what I got to keep.

I don't want help from the government, I think they try to abuse their authority too much as it is.

As for the global warming debate, I have done lots of research on it for classes in college and there are definitely discrepencies on both sides of the arguement. Yes the climate is changing, but if you really study how all of the testing and research for it is done, you will see how greatly the discussion is dostorted for political purposes.

And overall, I am just glad that people voted based on actual issues and not just for the sake of a "black president". There is too much reverse racism in this country starting with affirmative action and the like. Do not even get me started on that debate. And I am sure I will get tons of angry remarks about me being racist, but no I am just calling it like I see it. Look at the facts, many many voters had no idea of the issues Obama supported or even had personal opinions in conflict with his beliefs. I am not saying Republicans or Democrats are worse than the other, but Americans need to think about the decisions they are making before voting just for the sake of voting. Get educated on the issues and maybe this country won't continue to go downhill!

BRING ON THE CRITICISM  ;D
