I have ne'er seen more personal attacks on Free Republic as I have from her,

Just so you'll know -- and I'll know that you know -- since you obviously haven't learned the proper forum etiquette:

To: shhrubbery!

You know the rules. When speaking of another poster, make sure you ping that poster.

"Boy won't you feel vindicated?"

Gee Sam, I don't need to feel vindicated for stating my opinion. If you don't agree that's fine.

But you should try not to be so angry when opinions differ from yours. Shows your true color.

[COEXERJ145]

Just goes to show that a lot of Republicans and FReepers have been useful idiots for the Democrats.

[Howlin]

Did you hear a NASA press conference/announcement today?

[Howlin]

Am I behind the curve on this one?

Please don't tell me Plato was gay, too! Abe Lincoln, now Plato! I am crushed!

[Jhohanna]

If you say so, Howlin'. *sigh*

You really need to back off of the personal attacks though. It does NOT suit you.

And yes, I can say it with a straight font, I just *did*. And no, it doesn't put the lie in it.... *grin*.

[Peach]

Drudge has a headline that the MSM misread a press release from NASA; no signs of life or other earth shattering news released.

"Please don't tell me Plato was gay, too! Abe Lincoln, now Plato! I am crushed!"

Are you kidding about Abe?

[Howlin]

Where exactly have you "proved me wrong?"

I'm waiting on that one.

[Jhohanna]

Have you taken me on as a personal project, Jhohanna? If you've decided so, send me your email address and I'll get back to you the SECOND I'm interested in what you think of my posts.

No, most certainly I have not, but I do take high offense at your attacks on others, and your attitude. You are welcome to my email address, it can be found on my home page. I prefer not to divulge where scripts can spam. I have some respect for things you say, and NOT for a lot of others. But I truly think that you have been bullying a lot of people on this thread, and I think it beneath you.

But .... then, that's just me. I do try to see the best in people.

[JamesP81]

You know what I hate about this thread: it really has brought out the very worst in all of us, on both sides.

[RightWhale]

This could be the Live Mars thread if the mods change the title. I don't know what the big NASA announcement is, maybe the water on Encelida.

Here is a little statement that I made on Feb 21st- "The economic benefits of allowing UAE government ownership of port operations have not been made clear. My concern is that the owners of the port operations will determine that cost cutting measures are important. Why pay Longshoreman wages, when there are UAE citizens that will do the exact same thing for less money? These will simply become "jobs that Americans won't do". I do not advocate pulling the plug on the whole deal. I do desire open discussion, and propose divested interest of US port facility operations. If the UAE really needs to run these, they should have no problem establishing a legitimate US business. It would only be "fair"." http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-backroom/1582942/posts?page=1614#1614

"Let them bleat, but keep our ports out of their hands."

And our military bases out of theirs.

That's not good.

There's a whole lot of big time politics being played right now, I don't think we've seen the end of this yet.

[RobbyS]

Maybe they would like visitors from Iran.

[Junior_G]

Wow, what a hysterical and insult-laden response.

As for your John Kerry comment........too vaccuuous an argument to reply to.

Typical. You know I'm right so you avoid addressing it by telling me that the comment is unworthy of a response. You KNOW that if a President John Kerry was pushing the Dubai deal on us, you would stand with the rest of us in opposition.

If you can't stick with the issue you brought up, and I responded to........that is, racism..........then I'm not interested in continuing this with you.

Sorry if I veered onto a topic that you're not comfortable addressing.

[Jhohanna]

In the ports deal, alone. Note, just because I didn't call you out online - you have proven that you are far too ugly to argue with - , does NOT mean that I haven't found you to be wrong and false. Because I have. I would have to go back and look at all of the posts that I have questioned your facts on to determine what topics... but this is from memory:

The ports and ties to Bin Laden Construction

Immigration - HAH! I live here... convince ME that we don't need a fence. Been to Mexico lately?

I'll get back to you with others.

[Howlin]

In the ports deal, alone.

Where exactly.

Good, then we tell the CIA to "Facilitate" a change in Government to a more America friendly one.

Those stinking Sultans and Shieks are our allies because it suits them and they are making money off of it.

ICBMs don't need to dock.
