Actually Earth Day was the worst. I never understood why hippies that never washed themselves were interested in cleaning up the planet.

Now we got rich left winged blowhards making everyone else feel guilty for being the biggest contributors to global warming.

[Petronski]

Deserves repetition:

I'm not going to feel guilty if Hillary is president on January 21, 2009. Those who were stupid enough to think that a pro-abortion republican could defeat a pro-abortion democrat will be the ones who will need to hang their heads in shame.

[Howlin]

No, I don’t WANT to reply to you. Live with it.

[claudiustg]

But they’ll blame us.

[AmishDude]

I’m glad you did. I hate it when a joke fails thanks to Tripod.

[verum ago]

And is her mouth off or crooked?

I don't know; I guess it just runs in the family

[P-Marlowe]

You’re a one issue voter...fine. When Sharia law is in effect, you’ll get your wish of no abortions.

Is that a threat?

:-)

[BigSkyFreeper]

So what? Bush gets blamed for everything under the sun, but you don’t see him complaining.

[Petronski]

I don’t WANT to reply to you.

You have no direct response, you only become abusive.

Your reaction validates my point.

[Between the Lines]

It’s time that Jim starts looking around and suspending or closing some accounts for this type of behavior until it gets under control.

Except for this statement, I agree with you 100%.

Civility is sorely lacking around here these days. BUT, you cannot place the burden on Jimrob for our own actions! Jimrob and the Mods have a full time job keeping it all together as it is.

Instead we must ask ourselves, What can we do to make it better? We are the ones responsible for the hostilities, because we are the ones being hostile. The blame falls squarely on our shoulders.

Liberty demands the greatest of self-restraint and individual responsibility.

[Chuck54]

We live in very hatful times.

Hateful times too.

You're welcome,

I’m not being abusive; I’m simply stating a fact: I’m not going to play a stupid game with somebody who can’t see the difference between an R or a D.

[Petronski]

...somebody who can’t see the difference between an R or a D.

I draw my distinctions at liberal and conservative.

I don't vote Republican. I vote conservative.

Liberty demands the greatest of self-restraint and individual responsibility.

While that is certainly wise counsel, and bears heeding by all of us, liberty, to survive, also demands that men and women have the courage to speak up for what's right, no matter the personal cost, no matter the conflict that it might cause. The truth and righteousness are more important than mere peace.

Sometimes there really isn't any.

So, we should just shut up?

[Condor 63]

Jimrob and the Mods have a full time job keeping it all together as it is.

True.

I moderated on another site for about a year and finally burned out and retired from it. It is an incredible pain in the rump to have to shift through a seven or eight page thread and sniff out all the nasty stuff.

As with everything else, self moderation is the best policy for all involved.

[EternalVigilance]

Sometimes there really isn't any.

Yep. And sometimes the candidate even admits it:

"Most of Clinton's policies are very similar to most of mine." - Rudy Giuliani

[Gator113]

Thanks Chuck. I hate it when that happens. ;)

[BigSkyFreeper]

So, we should just shut up?

I never said that.
