Why did he omit any words about the things listed here as omissions from his speech the other night? Is there an obvious reason for that?

Since this is supposed to be a discussion board, instead of wasting our time sending us to chase some link, why don't you tell us what you think he should have talked about that he didn't and what you think he should have said about it?

Typical attempt at deflection, Jack. Good job, old Saul would be very proud of you, I think. Go ahead and read those things that I agree with, or I wouldn't have posted the link and lets get after those discussions.

Jack is right. The OP asks why WORDS were omitted from the SOTU and then points us to a Heritage Foundation opinion piece. What are we supposed to do compare each word with those in the SOTU? If the OP has a point, it incumbent upon the OP to state it.

Could it be meta-commentary? An OP that deliberately omits content as a comment on perceived lack of content in the SOTA?

Default The mind's made up - don't confuse us with the facts

Hmmm. And all this time I've been laboring under the misconception that posters are encouraged to use links to save space and, especially, to avoid a potential of copyright violation.

Or, are liberals just too lazy to read, or perhaps afraid they'll be confused by facts?

I understand. It is a very confusing time and it's much easier to stay comfy right where you are than to add to your base of knowledge (and exercise the brain cells).

So you're basically saying they're admitting to omit omissions?

Links are supposed to be used in support of an argument, not in place of one.
