You have a very short and selective memory - the hyperbole from the left far outweighs the opposition to obama's radical agenda.

Besides, paybacks a bi*ch, isn't it?

First let me address how utterly immature your reply is.

You state that payback is a bi*ch and this exposes the mentality of people such as yourself. Instead of attempting to move this country forward, get people working, bring back the middle class, manufacturing, textile, and factory jobs, instead of providing health reforms that benefit all CITIZENS, people like you insist on being obstructionist at the cost of the country.

Your agenda is not helping people it's destroying people, if they don't look like you, speak like you, or hold exactly to your point of view.

You people have decided that truth, facts, and decency comes secondary to undermining this presidency, you allow yourself to be manipulated by corporate interests who instill in you a false sense of superiority over others, you rally against health reform and any other programs put forth by the president. You call his programs to increase the number of youth volunteering for service as civilians "starting his own private army", anything to undermine him and hinder progress is your agenda.

How outrageous, un-factual, without merit, and frankly all out telling lies, will you people go?
Just look at your statement, "..even going so far as to lose a war for political gain.."

A obvious lie meant to do one thing, give people too lazy and ignorant to recognize it as a lie, another talking point to scream at others lazy ignorant people who say," I don't want change if it helps anyone other than myself"!

You people are too intellectually dishonest to admit that these programs and presidency will overwhelmingly help people such as yourselves, the people just hanging on but willing to perish just to keep up "appearances"

Where did you get that from? Where did I support socializing the losses, and where on gods earth do you think moving health care to the public sector is "profitable"

All americans have health coverage.. Something you obviously do not understand..

Ahh, ignorance at its best.. Try looking up "socialism" in a dictionary, but I do again note your lack of proof that racism exists.. Is this your best effort to change the subject? Nice try but I still demand proof..

[FLIGHTSIMMER]

Typical liberal speak, if you are not in lockstep agreement with then, then you are labeled a lunatic, and if they could they would lock you up to get you out of the way, because that is what socialists do.

I thought that this thread would actually focus on differing views and how this correlates to 'intolerance'. Alas, that word always seems to imply 'racism'. Anyone with right leaning views that vehemently opposes the agenda of the current administration is a 'racist' and his ardent supporters are always 'communists'. Round and round it goes. I oppose Obamas 'plan for America', I think he is completely off track. The folks in his camp, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Boxer, Feinstein, et al, do not help sway my opinions either. So, I guess I'm a racist by extreme left standards. Nothing else but the presidents skin could possibly be at work here. . Yes, racism is alive and well, but how it actually figures in to our current state of affairs? I think to many people are willing to lend it to much credence. Both left and right leaners have shown themselves to be highly 'intolerant' of differing viewpoints. To deny that is simply silly. Lol, I saw an earlier post where someone wished to see examples of leftist intolerance, as if it does not exist. Pleaaaaaase! LMAO, anything faith based in nature, be it a symbol, speech, book whatever, sends the leftys into a tizzy. I'm not a religious person, but the intolerance of faith by the left does make me raise an eyebrow. I. personally, am tired of the extremes on both ends pretending to be the majority view. NEWSFLASH< ya ain't! Get over yourselves!

All Americans have health coverage, really? Go to an emergency room and request a routine exam colonoscopy and see what you are told. You are the one that does not understand that there are hard working Americans that have gone into bankruptcy due to health issues.

Yes, hit your head all you want, it is doing wonders for your understanding. You are all for unlimited CEO bonuses, but taxpayers must bail them out when they "F" up. That is clearly privatizing the profits and socailizing the losses. I gave you a link to the racism that reared its ugly head after Obama was elected, but you seem to have selective reading issues. Go back to hitting your head, I'm headed for another forum to participate in an intelligent debate about the affects of Climate Change...that really ought to give you something to smack yourself in the head about.

Too soon to rep you again. An excellent post. A friend of mine used to say..."sometimes you have to show someone their a$$ in the mirror." You've succeeded with this post...

Intolerance has always been there...it's only so noticeable and offensive when you are on the opposing side. I don't like any politician much, nor have I ever...continuously in an uproar. Perpetual dismay.


(Only half-kidding.)

What is not to be tolerated is anything that is untrue. Anyone who makes things up or reaches conclusions that are unsupported by the facts should not be tolerated. OK, that sounds harsh in retrospect. Perhaps they need to be educated rather than held in contempt. But each ideology in this country, in its near permanent state of ignorance of its opposite, does little else but make things up about other people. Americans keep screaming at each other and no one is any wiser!

The only real confrontation with this growing intolerance should employ the TRUTH. What is so difficult about that? Or is the "best country in the world" just a collection of liars?

I am glad someone brought this up. I was talking to a good friend in NOVA yesterday. She is a democrat. She was telling me about this strange phone call she got telling her that her seat on the bus was reserved and she should show up at a certain place and time to catch it so she could join in the disruption of a Democrat's tea party. Wierd, huh?
2. Fairness doctrine for radio

Who is proposing a return to that?

3. asking citizens to send private emails to the white house so that they can monitor political opponants

That is a complete twisting of what was done.

4. Use of the police to force citizens to not show anti-Obama posters

Please elaborate, with links.

5. arresting a kid for posting anti-Obama posters

Ditto

6. card check for unions

???

7. Obama disallowing news organizations from his press conferences if they are felt to not support his position

Please elaborate with links.


It has only been eight months. I am sure that the list be longer in a few more. That is only one amendement of the constitution. Should we include the full bill of rights?

Sure, and be sure to provide links.

Targeted toward the Jews, as in the post above yours. Benjamin Shalom Bernanke, just like Barack Hussein Obama. An attempt to discredit by virtue of middle name. Shameful.

If Obama wanted to provide it for them, I would vote for him next election. That would be one of the most noble and selfless acts in the history of mankind. Unfortunately, Obama wants ME and many other Americans to provide it for them via higher taxes and fees, as well as a reduction in the quality of care many of us now receive.

You fail. Again.
