I think it's called 'kissing butt'. As long as you kiss butt, you'll be allowed to post here.

Sorry, never learned to kiss butt to get along. I think for a living.

I may have chosen poor words to describe my feelings about some of Bush's policies, but I'm sure every single one of you is guilty of that, so if you want to have a site that caters only to the blind followers, by all means, do a DU and lock out everyone who doesn't bow to Bush.

Actually, with your post you sound just like the DemUnites.

Maintaining a certain decorum isn't the same as kissing butt. Sure, we all overreact at times and say things that are out of line (I've done it myself). I just don't think that stepping back, reevaluating, and saying, "Hey, maybe that didn't come out quite right." is the same as kissing but.

I'm a newbie here myself, but Meek is an old respected member. He's also a great guy. I'd at least hear him out.

Listen, I don't agree with EVERYTHING that Bush has done, either.

But signing up here barely a week ago and then calling Bush an idiot and some of your other posts on this thread isn't a good way to ensure you will be allowed to stick around here.

When CFR was being debated and was moving through Congress, I campaigned HEAVILY to STOP it and sent e-mails to Bush, Cheney and others asking him NOT to sign it. But he did and life goes on. But I didn't call him an idiot either here on FR or ANYWHERE.

That post was a bit of "friendly" advise. No one here expects anyone to "kiss butt". When you're in someone else's house do you trash the place? It's really up to YOU if you stick around here.

Just my 2 cents.

No, we're not.

Actually, one of the wonderful things about a forum such as this is that we have the luxury of reviewing our work before we post. I, for one, make a living of choosing words carefully, so please beware of generalizing about the literacy, years of military service, or motivations of folks who post here. For the most part we manage to have civil discussions and (as recently displayed on this very thread) resolve disagreements in a friendly manner. Not every issue can be resolved with force or stubbornness, but these traits should not be confused with resolve, which can make one very patient in the face of adversity.

Bye, Stringfellow Hawke.

He's dead, Jim!

He's dead, Jim.

We'll never win the war on terror with an idiot for a leader.
