Seriously? Can't see anything? Only resort is to pull the old race card? You've GOT to be kidding.

Nothing more to be said here and I mean this.

When did I pull the race card? I stated a fact. Obama is bi-racial. Do you dispute that? By the way, I find the term "race card" disrespectful. Why isn't one can never point out disparities and mistreatment without being accused of the "race card" (I wasn't pointing anything like that out btw). Please don't make assumptions about me. I don't frivolously make claims like that. I'm also not going to stick my head in the sand and pretend that bigotry doesn't exist like some conservatives tend to do. I call it straight down the center.

Has your day to day life really changed that much since Obama got into office? Be real. The guy isn't a dictator with absolute power like some conservatives make him out to be. He isn't a terrorist like some claim. He's a guy just trying to do what he thinks is best for the country based on his beliefs. Just because he doesn't line up with YOUR beliefs doesn't automatically make him extreme.

And so you've seized the opportunity to express your perceptions and your views. Bully for you. See how it all works now?

Well, btw, I wasn't even going to comment on this since it is so silly, but on afterthought, I believe I will. You are so quick in pointing out you aren't pulling the race card (if you think this term is disrespectful, sorry, just call it whatever you like and YOU are the one who brought it up, so pleeese don't start acting coy about it. YOU are the one who interjected he was bi-racial. Why? Really, why? Why did you feel the need to bring this into the conversation at all? It has absolutely NOTHING to do with anything that is being said, yet you felt the need to stir the pot in that direction? So needless and so uncalled for. THAT is why I commented on your deliberate attempt to railroad the real issue.

Do your homework and then come back to the table (and hopefully with more than stating someone is bi-racial). This is just really sad.

Yes. It truly, truly is.

I gave you the opportunity to educate me on what was extreme about the current leadership. You have yet to do that. I also see you ignored half of my post and wrote me a nice little dissertation based on one sentence out of two paragraphs.

Are you going to have a serious discussion with me or are you just going to waste my time frothing at the mouth with partisan rambling and petty accusations? I'm willing to consider other viewpoints if they're argued in a logical manner with evidence. You've done nothing of the sort so far.

Look, I'm not about to go into a lengthy, serious discussion with you on this, so you can drop that notion right now. I'm not "frothing at the mouth", I don't care one iota about your beliefs nor do I want you to care one iota about mine. I'm not out to persuade you on anything and I'm not even remotely tempted
to entertain that notion.

You see what you want to see through your eyes and ditto for me, why try and carry it over into an ongoing nowhere argument, it's pointless and time consuming and quite frankly, I don't have the time nor the desire to oblige you for the sake of argument or education. This should be perfectly clear to you that I am just not willing to discuss any of it with you, not because I'm scared to, not because I feel I don't have the muscle to back it up, not because of anything except I simply don't care to. It's time consuming and it's pointless. Is that plain enough for you? So, I don't want to and I'm not going to, big period. Again, it is pointless and there is no end in sight. You can your ideas/viewpoints and I have mine. Simple as that. You want to argue with someone, go find someone else.

I addressed only the one point out of your post simply because you brought it into play from out of nowhere. No rhyme or reason for you to do it other than for the exact reason you did it. I called BS on it, I still call BS on it, so hopefully this answer your sentence "wrote me a nice little dissertation based on one sentence out of two paragraphs". If it doesn't, then you're SOL.

Please refer to my first paragraph in the event you see fit to carry this further.

Please pay closer attention. I didn't get into that dogfight (which I noticed you like to dabble in, depending on the subject at hand) and I'm not going to be baited into this one either. So think what you like. I assume you will be staying tuned to the channel , how else would you be able to add more food for the fodder?

HAHAHAHA Is this the best you can do, DocJ? But oh well, as Lonestar said, think what you want. But like her, I promise to stay tuned to your channel as well. I wouldn't miss your ever-more sophomoric and silly-assed attempts at sarcasm and bordering-on-personal libel, for anything. I would expect better than that from an educated man such as yourself...

By the way, Lonestar? For Doc's sake, just so he can have something for him to fantasize about? When are we gonna meet next...?
