Ok, Obama Lovers, I Need Your Help

OBAMA ASKS HOUSE TO PASS HEALTH CARE

I'm reading the article above, just catching up on the day's news, when I came across this part..

Participants also said Obama had referred to this week's shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, in which 13 people were killed. His remarks put in perspective that the hardships soldiers endure for the country are "what sacrifice really is," as opposed to "casting a vote that might lose an election for you," said Rep. Robert Andrews, D-N.J.

Um...wtf? Can one of your true believers explain to me what fucking correlation that shooting at Fort Hood has to government run health care? I appreciate any insight you can share.

We need to carve Obama's likeness into Mount Rushmore.

I re-watched a show on the History channel about how the world would change if humans suddenly became exitinct.

The only remnant of our civilisation that would prevail is Mt. Rushmore.

We need to add Obama to the presidents, and carve stories depicting our other legacies into the remaining stones.

I read it all. By the time I got to the end, I was laughing too hard to reply.

Hi Frank.

Been a bit of fun going on at the Vagina thread. Great Idea, and it's delightfully apolitical.

And why should you have to?

I always like it better when your motives are merely suspect.

So in the past you've admitted you were a shit stirrer.

I accuse you of stirring shit here and you deny it.

Now you say you are stirring shit here.

I point out your earlier denial, and you say your denial means nothing.

Kinda my point. See, Face accidentally brought up a good point about paying attention to the board history. My history is full of admitting to when I have ulterior motives.

When I've been questioned and had ulterior motives, I've always admitted it. You folks seem to think that the questioning alone is proof where the actual history shows otherwise.

I'd love to stay and chat but I gotta get to work.

See all you fine folks later.

I meant in this thread.

Point being, I've never had a problem being the only one on a particular side of debate.

Am I really going to have to start qualifying everything I say?

That's funny. I seem to remember you denying it when I accused you of just that.

It is you guys versus me. I have no problem with that. If I wanted to be agreed with constantly, I'd talk to myself. I'm not complaining about it and how you got that from my post is beyond me.

In this case, it is the responders.

As I pointed out, I've walked you, not a general you referring to the group but specifically you, through a post I wrote explaining to you where and when I was baiting people. I broke it down line by line showing you what I expected to happen with each comment and showing where I got exactly what I was looking for.

Add that to the fact that I have repeatedly admitted to posting things just to get a response, in the threads in which I write the remarks in.

I have always been honest about my motives.

I am well aware of my meaning when I post and on the occasions where I haven't been clear and its lead to misunderstandings, I've always owned up to it. As I've always owned up to any ulterior motives. And, again, the only time my explanations have ever been the subject of debate has been when you (generally speaking referring to the group) decided I had hidden meaning when I didn't.

Not in those words, but the gist is you guys vs. me, the gulf separating. Come on.

There are always at least two communicators in a thread and responders. If you believe that the defect is always in responders, take the humility to consider the alternative.

I didn't say you wanted to be like me or that you wanted me to be like you, I said that if my post doesn't fit what you've decided my motives are, it confuses you and causes you to miss little things like my openness about what my motives are in any given situation.

Really doubt anyone wants you to be just like them--nor aspire to be just like Frank. This doesn't mean we won't rumble, though.

Enhanced Interrogation Techniques
Dick Cheney has recently threatened to not cooperate with a Justice Department probe. Since we are in a time of war and they are trying to find out information of national security, would enhanced interrogation techniques be appropriate?
