“but YOU are the one on this thread telling people to STAY HOME instead of making their voices heard”
Okay. You have not been out in the streets fighting. I have. You cannot connect with this since you have never done it.
“AND you have a foreign flag flying on your page.’
Oh my goodness. How awful!!! It shows your total ignorance. We American who live abroad show that country’s flag where we live.
If you actually were in war, did you have children and grandparents with you? It not, why not?
That is a stupid comparison, but I'll play the game anyway.
First, every American has a right to be at a meeting with their representative. They have a right not to be physically intimidated by anyone while exercising their First Amendment rights.
Second, if you think that age somehow makes a difference in the exercising of our rights you need to go somewhere like the DU and hang out there.
Third, there were a couple of over 50 troops with me and I did my best not to drop too far behind when they were in the lead. I would put the guys I served with, no matter what their age today against anybody. Period.
Fourth, there are plenty of Father/Son/Daughter and even Mother/Son/Daughter combos in the field today.
Last, since they aren't holding any of the Town Hall Meeting in Panama, what the hell does it matter to you who goes and who doesn't.
“YOU are the one on this thread telling people to STAY HOME”
You are inventing again.
Staying home because of danger and moving because of health insurance are two different things.
It amazes me how you invent and twist.
Are you a leftist?
am an American who is living in Panama if it is any of your business.
I have great health insurance which will not be touched by those congresscrooks.
If you want to continuing living in the U.S., good…suffer but don’t complain.
We have great doctors here...many who have their degrees from the U.S.\
You can run, but only so far unless you can renounce citizenship.
Regarding what I think you are saying, that the Townhalls could get ugly and young and old should not attend; well, first of all, no one can say what could or would happen or if and when something happens with large crowds. I think your age “recommendations” are rather arbitrary. Young and old (as you define it approx. 45+) should be there as THIS WILL AFFECT EVERYONE!!!
“i think it is demeaning to “that crippled lady” to tell her to stay home.”
No it is not. I give the same advice to folks taking their children to these carnivals. It is to keep these children and older folks safe. How more simple can it get? Next I am going to called a racist.
“do you approve of everyone going to the 9/12 march or do you have limitations on that too?”
Anything is better than nothing. But if turns out to be another carnival and folks in costumes, forget it.
Say what you want. You fail to see I worry about saving lives.
I am an American who is living in Panama if it is any of your business.
I cannot explain this since U.S. citizens have been involved in defending our country only twice on our land.
Okay. You have not been out in the streets fighting. I have. You cannot connect with this since you have never done it.
You are either a plant, a fraud, or an asshole. I'm actually betting all three.
An American living in Panama would not call Panama 'his country' as you do in the second sample. If true, then you are no longer an American, and can go piss up a rope for any opinion on the subject at hand.
Fighting in the streets. When was this ol' great and mighty Warrior Princess? Which side were you on?
And my favorite...
If you want to continuing living in the U.S., good…suffer but don’t complain.
I would say something about this line but I don't want to get banned. Oh, what the hell, you are an f-stick. Stay in Panama.
“Last, since they aren’t holding any of the Town Hall Meeting in Panama, what the hell does it matter to you who goes and who doesn’t.”
Strangely enough, because I am an American citizen.
But then, okay, I don’t care anymore...not for your health anyway. Go kill yourself. Good.
LMAO, you know this precisely HOW???
You never explained as I asked: “If you actually were in war, did you have children and grandparents with you? If not, why not?”
I’m waiting.
i invented nothing, these are YOUR WORDS. i don't care about your health care insurance. i am taking issue with your telling people to stay home.
you are calling me a leftist? funny!
let me give you the benefit of the doubt. go back and read over your posts, the tone you took, and what you said. you don’t live here, yet your presume to know better than WE DO, what we should and shouldn’t do. can you understand why you have inflamed people? or is that just your style? LEFTISTS think they know better what people should and shouldn’t do. conservatives believe that people are entitled to the freedom to make their own decisions about what they can/should do for themselves. You presume to know what’s best for Americans as far as prosecuting this debate on healthcare, that sounds leftist to me. Perhaps, should you calm down and put aside the bombast, you could understand why you set everyone on this thread off. if you are just an attention whore who likes to stir the pot, then i am not interested in talking to you.
“you are calling me a leftist? funny!”
I never thought of the word “leftist.”
I did think of the word “stupid.”
i have concluded that craig is an attention whore who gets off on argument for argument’s sake. how stupid to be fighting over who should and shouldn’t attend town halls with all we are facing in this country from real enemies. craig, you really should be ashamed of yourself for inflaming the passions of fellow conservatives over something so silly when we are facing truly catastrophic things. i regret engaging you.
you never thought of the word leftist, yet you are the one that USED IT? ok, you are nonsensical. i'm done with you, go eat a mango.
I was out in the streets fighting Noriega for two years.
Where were you?
Experience I have.
Experience you don’t have.
i argue for a living, you are not a worthy opponent.
Anybody older than that will only get in the way.
STAY HOME!!!
WHAT???
“i argue for a living, you are not a worthy opponent.”
Whatever that means.
Only God knows.
Where were you?
Experience I have.
Experience you don’t have.
Do you have any idea how condescending and self-righteous that sounds?
And what does it have to do with your edict as to whom should and should not be attending town hall meetings?
