HOW CONSERVATIVE IS PRESIDENT BUSH?

Now you have hurt my feelings. You know how sensitive I am.

I know you're scared of being banned because so much of your self worth comes from these little whizzing contests on line for starters. HOW do I know? Because you chickened out of posting Twodee's info...If you had a pair you'd email Twodees YOUR information, but you'd rather see him look over his shoulder for a drunk egomaniac from Texas.

OR you could actually post your info and his at the same time...I'm LAUGHING AT THAT...You never even thought of doing that! You've keyed too many cars in your life to go public. PLUS theres the fact that you'd be banned and you'd eat yourself alive without Free Republic to remind you what an amazing American you are! What does that make you? What did I call you? Do you know what you are? The answer sad chap is...I don't have to say it...

Sure about what? I am sure that NIH is under HHS, but I am not completely sure whether CIA and the Postal Service are the only independent agencies of the federal govt. Who knows, maybe Bush has added another forty in the past two years?

[terilyn]

Yes, it would be much better if you were able to just post what you believe and nobody was able to post facts to refute it.

How embarassing it must be for you.

Facts can be such nuisances.

[Satadru]

If he vetoed it, then there would have been 2/3rd majority in Congress to overrule it. A better question is will he sign a bill banning tax-payer's funding of abortion.

You are hyper-ventilating again. Besides that I am still nursing the thrashing you have been giving me.

[terilyn]

Yes, I'm sure Bush added all of those in post #718 in the last 19 months...

Gosh, I'm sure glad it's just the "bots" that flame people. Welcome to the "clique".

[justshe]

You know......I read your heartfelt statement to Jim Robinson on the Bump the AFers thread. And you talked about the forum etiquette. You don't seem to practice what you said to JR.

Can you tell me...what part of "No personal attacks" don't you understand?

I spent 2 hours this morning catching up on this thread. From the beginning. And YOU are the one who seems to be attacking Texasforever. I thought he kept his cool rather well considering all the baiting that was going on.

LMAO. God what a hypocrite.

[Satadru]

Whao! I am impressed that you know how to access a govt website. I am sure you knew all those agencies by yourself, in alphabetical order. LOL! Looking at the list, I am glad I got the most important ones. But, if you want to have a third-grade level fight, invite the rest of the Bushibans to partake it with you.

[Cultural Jihad]

On a scale of 1 to 10 I give Bush a 2. The first thing on his agenda was meeeting with Gay leaders , therefore giving what NO President had given before, Presidential recognition of the Gay lifestyle as just another Lifestyle Choice. BS on that. It isn't true and no President should have ever done it.

What sort of dissembling does the Cato Institute engage in? They frown on homosexual behaviors as if they're almost as bad as passing a law to discourage the unneeded suffering of homosexuals. Meeting with homosexuals is not the same thing as fawning over them as Clinton did in 1993. After that meeting, Bill Clinton came out and declared his fondness for libertarianism.

[Republican Wildcat]

The only independent agencies under the federal govt are the CIA and the US Postal Service.

You are either incredibly ignorant or lying like you did in post #578.

[Keyes For President]

I have learned as a Christian I had better be extra careful what I do and say, because people are constantly waiting for a Christian to slip up, so they can jump on them and say, "AHAH!" People can then self righteously use that slip up to discredit everything I've ever stood for. It's a lesson I have learned, but have not learned it well enough.

Since you seem so intent on judging me, all I ask is that you judge me on the totality of all you know about me. Judge me on the way I have conducted myself on this forum over the years, not just on an odd post here or there where I may have slipped. Judge me on the way I have treated you personally. Judge me on what I have written.

I don't ever recall saying you weren't pro-life enough, conservative enough, etc. I don't think many of Bush's policies are pro-life enough, conservative enough, constitutional enough, etc. I thought that was up for debate and this forum was the proper place for it.

I've been trying to avoid the "In House Fighting" around here and have been posting a lot at Liberty Post lately because people there seem to be more receptive of my point of view. While there, I have not trashed FR nor have I ever said anything bad about John or Jim Robinson. But that wasn't good enough for one of your "cronies" who had to bait me by posting outright lies about me here. When I called him on his lies, he resorted to posting that off color remark I made. That was the worst thing he could find, and it had nothing to do with the point (lie) he was trying to make.

Are you going to admonish him for lying? You gladly joined him in pointing out my sin and seemed to rejoice at it.

[terilyn]

Well, I did go to kindergarten.

You were the one that claimes that the CIA & the USPS were the ONLY independent agencies of the federal government.

Maybe you skipped that part of kindergarten that showed you how to do an internet search so you didn't look like you didn't know what you were talking about.

[Satadru]

Hypocrite? Me, or Bush, or you? BTW, what does this law have anything to do with abortion. If you are born alive, you are already protected under the laws of all 50 states. This is nothing but election year pandering. Plus, there was a 2/3 majority in both houses.

[terilyn]

claimes = claimed

measure twice, cut once.

[Satadru]

I went to kindergarten a long time before the internet came out commercially. If you couldn't figure that out, then maybe you should go back. But, I am truly amazed that you knew all those agencies by heart in alphabetical order, not to mention their acronyms.

[Texasforever]

So, in your opinion Bush "held his nose" and signed a bill he did not like?

[2Trievers]

After reading some of the posts by sleeveless on a forum swwearch........I think he could help you out with some cristals and stuff."

GOOD HEAVENS! Have you looked into a newer version of a spellcheck? Personal attacks? BAAWHHHHHHHHHHHH! Haha

[justshe]

S'OK. He forgot, in a VERY short time that he had said:

The only independent agencies under the federal govt are the CIA and the US Postal Service.

SO.....he said THIS too--just a few posts apart:

I am sure that NIH is under HHS, but I am not completely sure whether CIA and the Postal Service are the only independent agencies of the federal govt

[Satadru]

Did he really? I wouldn't be surprised. Last time he did that(CFR), I can guarantee you that there was no 2/3 majority.
