Why is the OP's outrageous outrage of a comment by a poster wishing death on the president perfectly acceptable and justified, but when her past comments wishing death by hanging of a president is brought up, we should just let that alone? Cause she's young, misguided, searching for God?

One other point;

Did she EVER apologize in the past year for wishing death on a president by hanging? Or did she have to be "reminded" of her previous comment before she apologized?

There is a word for that...can't think of it right now.
Who said it was perfectly acceptable when I said it? No one did. Even I am saying it is wrong.

And yes, I have apologized. As I said, I have a real life aside from CD. I did not know a post one year old mattered so much to you. But it is ok. I guess I did not expect anything else. Most people would take my explanation and understand.

The difference is that many people here REALIZE the ONE time I told them. You just want to push it further to humiliate me and shame me. You are the only one who is really pushing this issue out of context. You have no intention of trying to understand or getting something out of this. Why can't you just understand that people make mistakes? Much ado about nothing.

I don't even know why I trying with you.

Yes, but the same was true under the Bush Presidency. They also spent trillions for the Iraq war. He was a live and well and parents were struggling to provide for kids too.

It is not the matter of blaming the president or ex president. It is horrible when anyones parents die.

Somehow..!

Let's rename this thread "God Bless President Barack Obama.... oh! and millions of massacred innocent babies!" Just a little footnote.
First of all, what does innocent babies have to do with it?

Second of all, go create your thread with that title.

See all over places like Michigan, Arizona, Nevada and Rhode Island parents are unable to provide for their children in the way they would like. This is due in no part to their own doing. They didn't sign GLBA or repeal Glass-Steigall. They didn't look the other way while the GSEs turned out trillions in toxic assets under the protection of Democrats in Congress to include BO. Today those parents are scaling back Christmas and canceling vacations. Other are losing their homes. I know a young lady with two girls maybe a few years younger than BO's. She lives with her mother and daughters in a flea-bag weekly motel since they lost their house two years ago. She is unable to find a better job than the cashier position she presently has because there simply aren't jobs here. If you look through the account of these spent funds on Recovery.gov you'll see little if any of that money being spent to help people like her. So you'll please excuse me now while I spit the vomit out of my mouth that's been there since I read your comments about the poor Obama girls.
Yeah, I read that. And you're saying exactly what I said you were saying...blaming Obama for unemployed parents, which in your mind is worse than a dead parent. Good grief.

You really are missing my point. When you started your OP and criticized the poster who made that comment and then claimed YOU would never wish death on bush/mccain/palin, it was disingenuous and hypocritical at best, considering you had made the same comment.

I'm not really trying to shame you, but your defenders leave me no choice but to explain WHY I'm making these comments, the continual rehash, in other words.

I'm taking nothing out of context, I do understand and everybody makes mistakes of course.

I commend you for at least admitting your mistake, admitting that no one should wish such a thing on a president, or anyone else.

I am serious about the "lesson" in this for you.

look huny...you are not her teacher, you are not her mother & i dont think she wants your advice either so just let it go. you're just repeating yourself over & over again trying to boost up your own ego by rubbin it in her face that she said something bad about someone.

you're not perfect & i'm pretty sure you clean your house with windex too.

I know she would never have admitted she had said something similar. She should have, BEFORE she railed on somebody else. That's all, really quite simple. You and the other enablers and sympathizers are the ones keeping this going.

There was no heated debate in that thread, or at least nothing that LV was involved in.
One thing has been made crystal clear in this thread. Age is not the same as wisdom. The OP has the wisdom to admit mistakes and therefore she has the capacity for growth and gaining of wisdom. You never admit you are wrong, even when it has been proven to you that you are wrong, and you are so full of bitterness and rage that you not only need to vent on the President...you now must vent on a young woman whose maturity makes you look small indeed.

I think you have your illions words confused. Billions just isn't the same thing as trillions. Since this year began billions is not longer a big number as it once was. Hell they have a bill recently passed in the Senate that they talk about spending only $849 billion and the number jugglers have already said that by the end of the ten years it covers it will spend over $2 trillion. They just can't take enough money from Medicare to cover that.

I keep wondering if people think that any money is going to be taken from Medicare. All they will do is withhold $60 billion per year but that doesn't make any money. They intend to spend every penny of that on socialized medicine.

Nice try to turn a little side note into a big deal. Of course, when one talks badly about the left and abortion the change is made, right?

Not since this year began. This is an indirect way of trying to blame on Obamas administration. It has been for a while. Sorry, I don't understand why people want to blame in entirely on Obama. Let me guess. Everything was entirely perfect in the USA until 1/20/2009 right?

Write your Senators. Write your Congressmen or women. We need to start expressing ourselves.



And no, I do not have my trillions and billions mixed up.

And I must say that I thank you. I read your posts about being from a military family. So it must be right to say "I salute you."

A lot has happened over the course of the last year and I am thankful I learned more from it.

Huh?

If anything, that poster to whom I was responding too was making it a big deal.

He wants to talk about abortion, there are 374789374893748932748937 other threads about that. He can take it there.
