    so its ok for a vet to kill babies just because his legs were blown off?



    rwill, seriously, whats your point about all this? liberal ideology is bad/immoral/wrong because some of them are wackos? if i could show you ten tigerfans that did crazy things, would that make being a tigerfan bad/immoral/wrong? you should really try to look past the wackos.

    There are wackos on both side of every issue. You have your opinion and reasons for your side. I listed mine. Early in the thread there was back and forth about diffrences I listed why I can't support democrats. Republicans have many flaws. They suck too. To me they are closer to how I think. I listed things I read ,that after I formed an opinion of the story, cause me not to take liberal positions. Then it was said I made it up and was challenged to find the story. The competitor in me took off. I spent 4 hours finding links to the story. Putting the links shows that I did indeed read these stories and didn't make them up. Now it's how I interpret the stories that are diffrent. I don't say that my way is the only way. It's just how I see it. When an American doesn't say the pledge or heckles a soilder it upsets me. I don't care if anyone agrees with me and I don't hate someone that doesn't agree with me. What set me off is it was said I made up the story. I didn't make up the story I made up my opinion of them. It's stands on social issues that have turned me away from democrats. They have a right to say what they want and I wouldn't want that taken away ever.

    You don't call a soilder a babykiller and say you are jeering his message. This was a personal attack on him. I don't agree with the jeering of him. Think about it. It's men like him that are American heros. You may not like the war he served in but he took a bullet for his country.




    Ps: I don't want to make enemys. I respect and enjoy all of the post I read. I think you are right I should stay away from political post. Didn't mean any disrespect personally to anyone and apologize if I did.

    Well, I have read a dozen articles on that incident and not one of them mentions the "babykiller" thing.

    I just don't believe that a veteran gets special treatment when he's engaged in a political hearing. No one booed him on the street. In the meeting they were booing his message and I don't understand why you can't see this.

    None of us are enemies here. We just like to argue politics. I'd rather you keep in the debate. We've all had to develop think skins around here.

    Scott Walker's plan in a nutshell.

    steal money from teachers, and other state workers to pay for the taxcuts given to corporations and the rich.

    Make the corporate climate attractive to business so they will create jobs thus more workers paying state taxes and less having to apply for goverment support.
