About anything you have to say or your opinion. Correct. Not so much with others.

Like you said, if I am the only one who comes here who cares. I have confined most of my posts to a few threads. That is within the bounds of civility on a public forum.

Posting an endless number of partisan op eds, with occasional one line personal snarky comments, does not make for civil discourse by most reasonble standards.

Hey..if thats what you want and it makes you feel better about your position...carry on.

Yea, I know, you want me to post partisan op eds that support your savior. I know. I just can't bring myself to drink your Koolaid or swallow your guys propaganda. Sorry. I just can't do it. I will be here to point out the duplicity of the Demoncrats and how they are no different than what the Republickins did for 8 years, you know, all that stuff your guys whined about. Obama is not doing a bad job for a figurehead of the Dems, Congress on the otherhand....

In fact, I would prefer no partisan op eds be posted (at least not 3-5 times EVERY DAY) and for members to think for themselves.

I think it is fair to say that is how I, and most others I have encountered here, particpate.

The "savior" (the "messiah", the "one") mantra is just another example of parroting the right wing group speak and not being able to think for yourself.

You have supported most everything the Dems and Obama have done. You are an admitted Dem partisan. You can't hide behind your new found non-partisan look.

It is quite fitting for how people like you have drank the koolaid and see no fault, supporting everything Obama says and supporting Spend Spend Spend by the Dems in Congress. Tax tax tax is on its way. You will support that as well, I am sure.

Cite please....all of my partisan links!

I never said I was non-partisan..but I dont flood the site with bullship partisan op eds on a daily basis (or weekly basis...or even monthly basis) . NO ONE does to the same extent as you.

I offer my own opionions. I was critical of components of the ARRA. I was critical of components of Obama's detainee policly. I like the transparency I have seen compared to the previsous admin, but said it still doesnt go far enough. I have said I like some components in the various heallth reform proposals but not others.

I speak for myself and dont rely on op eds.

Yea, I am sure it is not enough of a far left socialist agenda. Eh... me, I am not big on government of your sort.
