ROTFLMAO!

Hyperbole and misstatement of facts???

In the first place, you’re taking on my statemnets about his margin of victory on a thread about STARTING A CIVIL WAR but I am being heperbolic? Good Lord man. That was your priority? Correcting my position on the margin of his victory?

In the second place, my facts were accurate from a popular vote position. I never said % and I admitted that other had won by larger margins % wise.

I’m sorry I started this. Not one person here has bothered to address the fact that this post was about the fact that a “violent and bloody war” will start and that WE may be forced to some of us will be forced to “support some violent people we normally shun and despise.”

But you go ahead. You be pedantic and keep pounding me on whether or not 55% or 53% or %57 is a big victory. On whether on not I was wrong about the margin of Barry’s pounding of McCain.

I didn't address initially your statement about starting a civil war, which could be viewed as being neutral, agreeing or disagreeing with you. The point is that by using incorrect facts, you undermine your own position. And then you go into high dudgeon with those of us who point out your mistaken "facts." You obviously don't like to be corrected on matters of fact and substance let alone your opinion. Grow up.

You are entitled to your own opinion, not your own facts. I was in fact agreeing with you somewhat by stating how powerful Obama is, more to do with his party's overwhelming control of Congress than his margin of victory over McCain.

If Obama succeeds with his socialistic agenda for this country, passes an amnesty, and starts infringing on individual rights such as gun control, punitive taxes, etc., then there could well be violent demonstrations and people manning the barricades in defense of the Constitution and the debasement of the values that this nation was founded upon.

Here is something from one of our founding documents that encapsulates how and why our country was established and why some people risked their "Lives, Fortunes, and sacred Honor."

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

God help us, if we lack the courage of our forefathers to defend these values and rights, which were dearly won by the blood and sacrifice of them for us.
