Not really, Just because you know nothing about Canada you don't have to get defensive, or try to get witty.
And name calling becomes you.

Too bad you are using it to describe the WRONG party. I really love when someone mentions the fact that neither Bush nor Cheney served in Vietnam, especially when discussing Kerry, it is automatically turned into a Swift Boat Meeting.pawn wrote:at least Kerry went to nam.

No, it was the flip flopping of how the dems voted for the war before they voted against it. The media took this by storm and ran with it. That is what has divided this nation. We will see more flip flopping as 2008 nears.CinnamonGirl wrote:Man...the shit that goes down when I'm not here!Devlin wrote:And what do these kinds of people view as the solution to this imaginary injustice?

I may have several posts to make but lets start here.
Devlin, I see that you have found a new favorite word: divisiveness. I think I must have seen you use it about 850 times already in this thread.
The Right-Wingers (i.e. Republicans, Bushites, NeoCons...you know who you are), had divided this country like no other party in decades.
Moving on to your quoted post....who exactly are "these kind of people"? The first part seems like you are making reference to gay men/women. Then it seems like you are referring to the not-quite middle class or poor of America. By the end, I am completely confused.
Bottom line: The majority of the Right-Wingers do not care about the other 90% of Americans or anyone else on the planet for that matter. THEY have divided this country. THEY have increased their wealth by exploiting those of the classes lower than them. THEY have tried to not only instill, but try to cram down the throats of those who do not agree with them, their beliefs.

Facts are that BOTH Bush and Cheney were cowards. No matter what you say, the truth is the truth. They went out of their way to do ANYTHING not to serve. Bush's story is a joke and a prime example of what money can buy you. Cheney was at least a bit more creative. First it was enroll in college. When that looked like it was gonna backfire and Johnson was gonna lift the studen deferment so he got married...then having a baby got him out.
And what I posted makes PERFECT sense. Hear the latest from Hilliary back earlier this month?Devlin wrote:No, it was the flip flopping of how the dems voted for the war before they voted against it.
