There was a professor at the College of William and Mary who said that she wouldn’t allow students to use punctuation and capitals because that supported theism and she was an atheist.
IOW, order, rules, right and wrong = God. Chaos = no God.
Capiltalize because it is “right”.
Your lazy lower-case writing makes people think less of you.
i didn’t participate in operation chaos. i registered as a dem when i turned 18. of course, that was when the dems still had some sense and had not been overrun by progressives. my family was all “jacksonian” democrats. most of them have changed over to republican. i never bothered since it never mattered. perhaps that is why i wasn’t asked about it. it was a machine and i could vote for whomever i chose regardless of party. i voted for the local republicans on the ballot and voted for clinton on the presidential. hubbbymayhem did the same thing and he did not have to change his repub affiliation.
So that means Rush in a hurry is responsible for the surge in Indiana Dems. Next time he use both halves of his brain.
Simply change BACK to the Republican rolls. Problem solved.
“my caps key is fine, thank you for your concern. i choose not to use it because capitalization is stupid and pointless.;)”
JUST SAY NO TO CAPITALIZATION
doh
I just saw that movie tonight! It was really cute!
chaos = no God? operation chaos. and i don’t recall seeing “thou shalt capitalize” on the list.
now that is something that really worries me. how will people on the internet who do not know me think of me? oh dear, i may not sleep well from the distress of it all.
No worries. It’s your choice. And, it’s casual.
It certainly would not be wise to use that style for professional written communications.
Have a nice weekend.
you too.

“Actually, I love Rush, but never signed on to the Operation Chaos thing because I already knew Obama would be more dangerous than Clinton. The irony is that I mentioned chaos on a Limbaugh thread here before he came up with his idea. Unfortunately, pushing Obama over Clinton actually got us Obama.”
I have read your post several times and don’t get it. Operation Chaos was for voting Hillary over Obama. Rush never pushed Obama.
Rush was a curious study during the Clinton years. Everyone thinks media et all is bent with regard to Obama, many don't remember eight years of media's messianic resurrection of FDR with youthful Kennedian idealism, the Clinton connect to a distant cousin of the crown of England, and cranking out a volume of policies that would have exhausted Johnson. Clinton coming into office sent me searching the radio (no Internet, mobile, satellite, or cable yet) for a Radio Free America. When I first came across Rush my radio in the house could not pick up the signal so I drove to a nearby hill (home of the police department) angled my car (frequently moving) to keep the signal, and turning my engine on periodically to keep the battery from dying in order to hear his show. He said he was telling us something and he was saying something but he carefully remained vague. After a while I realized he wasn't Radio Free America and he really meant it when he said that he ‘liked to talk to democrats’.
And to this day if by chance I hear or see Rush, I can't help but study him, for the possibility he will become clear.
Were we in Mrs. Gilbert’s english-lit class together?
I recall it as being voting for Obama over Hilary.
I didn’t participate. I consider my vote to be more important than that, almost sacred. I don’t mess around with it. I vote for the person I want to win.
Maybe he is to stupid. The headline was not even spelt correctly.
Rush’s Operation Chaos was to delay and make more costly for the Dems what appeared to be an inevitable win by Obama.

Operation Chaos
In late February 2008, Limbaugh announced “Operation Chaos,” a political call to action with the initial plan to have voters of the Republican Party temporarily cross over to vote in the Democratic primary and vote for Hillary Clinton, who at the time was in the midst of losing eleven straight primary contests to Barack Obama. Limbaugh has also cited the open primary process in the early primary states of New Hampshire and South Carolina, which allowed independent voters to cross over into the Republican primaries to choose John McCain over more conservative candidates (such as Fred Thompson), as an inspiration.
At the point in which Limbaugh announced his gambit, Obama had seemed on the verge of clinching the Democratic nomination.[16] However, Clinton subsequently won the Ohio primary and the Texas primary (while losing the Texas caucus and the overall delegate split) with large pluralities from rural counties; thus reemerging as a competitive opponent in the race.[17] Statistics released by the state of Texas show Hillary Clinton won the primary due to a large number of Republicans crossing over to vote for her. Whether these voters were Operation Chaos Operatives or simply Republicans who preferred Clinton is impossible to tell.
On April 29, 2008 Limbaugh declared an “operational pause” in Operation Chaos, saying that Obama’s defeat in the 2008 Pennsylvania primary and fallout from statements from Obama ally Reverend Jeremiah Wright could have damaged his campaign to the extent superdelegates would shift to Clinton’s side.[18] Determining Obama had weathered that storm, Limbaugh lifted the pause the next day and renewed his call for his listeners to vote for Clinton in the upcoming Indiana and North Carolina primaries.[19] Obama won the North Carolina primary[20] but was narrowly defeated in Indiana, where Clinton won decisively in rural counties that normally vote Republican in presidential elections.[21]
The overall legality of Operation Chaos in several states, including Ohio and Indiana, is disputed. In Ohio, new party members are required to sign a pledge of loyalty to the party they join for a minimum of one year, making participation in “Operation Chaos” a possible felony (election falsification) in that state. However, the state attorney general there refused to press charges on anyone, saying that it would be nearly impossible to enforce because of difficulties proving voter intent and concerns that a loyalty oath would violate freedom of association.[22]
This looks like some 8th grader texted a complaint to their buddy ...
why must itself up every of a park
anus stick some quote statue unquote to
prove that a hero equals any jerk
who was afraid to dare to answer “no”?
