Is there no middle ground? Does everything have to boil down to a bunch of imbecilic idealogues attacking and being attacked by hard-line old-schoolers?

What a bore this absurd two-party mirage has become.

first, there was no tough guy talk. what i said if they came trying to take what i and my family has it would not go unanswered. what would you do, squeal and run out the back door? i said nothing about going out and murdering anyone. what i said is i would defend what i have.

now you have to resort to calling me an imbecile because i dont believe in giving what i and others have earned. we have a system that was well thought out and has lasted over 200 years. now we should change it?

good job on the name calling. up until now it has been a civil discussion and the thread has not been shut down.

Sir, you were not the imbecile in my post. You were the hard-line old schooler.

I assume you don't take umbrage at this description. Had I thought that would be an insult, I certainly would not have used it.

You couldn't have thought that I was referring to those people in the video I posted as "hard-line old-schoolers," could you have?

As for "squealing and running out the back door," uh, no. Never said anything of the sort.

So you're worried the Occupy Wall Streeters are going to come to your house and take something? Have they stolen things elsewhere?

Yeah, I wasn't clear on this either.

I eventually assumed he meant that he didn't want his wealth redistributed.

Unfortunately, many of these people can barely be taken seriously at all.

And this is why we left Florida, because of people who think like you. Is it okay if the tea baggers are out in force? Is this acceptable to you? At least try and hide your prejudice and ignorance.

What? We totally support the movement and we're both college educated, my husband has an MBA and is a Vietnam vet. All we want is for the 1% to pay their share of taxes and stop hiding their assets offshore.

if you do your research you will find out the top 1% do pay their fair share and more. they are also our best hope of getting a job. your illiterate friends in the street are not going to employ any one any time soon.

what i would like is for the potus to start leading and not campaigning. what i would like is for him to park air force one and not tell me i should drive a *** prius and not an american pickup.
