Bump.
You are totally dreaming. The notion that you have any influence on closed minds with facts is hopelessly niave.
They don’t care about your idea of fair...their minds are closed to facts.
They probably shut up to make you stop talking.
Why are you so angry about this? Facts are good... facts are your friends...
And some of the people that only get their information from the MSM can be educated... I know... because I have done it. The hard core ones cannot be swayed, I will grant you that. But there are a lot of people out there that believe this crap without taking the time to really find out the truth.
As for “shut(ting) up to make (me) quit talking”... maybe you should try it.
I spoke with a media officer in the Pentagon. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED was the mission performed by the sailors on the carrier.
Thanks DFU.
” the “Mission Accomplished” banner referred to the ship’s mission “
It did, it did! Though in the Democrat/Media it means the war was over, and all the Troops were on that ship, on their way home.
“Facts are good... facts are your friends...”
Here’s another chesnut for your collection:
“Only fools argue facts”
Let’s review. I posted an article about the text of a speech that has been misrepresented for four years. You jump in and start calling me names and complaining about me having pointed out the facts of a situation. I conceded the point that you can’t change the mind of a true believer, but you just won’t quit. You even stay up ‘til 3:00 CDT just to say that “Only fools argue facts”.
Now, does that mean that only fools use facts in their arguments? If so, I am proud to be a fool.
Does it mean that only fools argue with just facts? What else would one argue with? A pony? Feeeeelings?
Or does it mean that only a fool would argue the fact of a fact. I will sign on to that one.
As for your cute little tagline... I never claimed to have blind trust. If you are saying that my reading the original context of what someone said to educate myself beyond the standard media line, I would ask “why is that blind trust?”.
I have to stop and wonder why you bother reading FR if you do not want to know the facts? Or are you just some little putz that is trying to pick a fight late at night so you can feel good?
