Midterm Election Central-Should We Send Obama A Message?

[Libertarian666]

Obama threatened to impose amnesty for illegal immigrants unilaterally at the long winded news conference and sounded very much against the Keystone pipeline, tax reform, etc. He added that if Congress at some point passes an immigration law that he agrees with and signs that it can replace his unilateral actions. Now that is what you call poisoning the well!

Whatever Obama does via Executive Order is all in the BIPARTISAN immigration bill that the Senate PASSED that he got tired of waiting for the House to pass because Boehner's chickenshitted about the Tea Party nuts.  So long as Executive is legal and subsequently passed the judicial branch, what is the problem?  So "poisioning the well" only applies to the Tea Party nuts.  I'm not sure they're relevant anymore now that Boehner has a large enough majority to ignore the twits.

Is this an example of being polite on the board? Perhaps you don't realize that there are people here who agree with the Tea Party more than they do the establishment Republican party...

Excuse me?  This isn't Congress where I would have to kiss ass and tone done facts because people have such thin skin and are such emotionally-sensitive pussies nowadays.  What the hell has happened to America?  Rhetorical question.  Anyway, I agree with the Tea Party on many things, but they are refusing to compromise with the DemoRepubs and that is damaging our economy and future.  What is more important, ideological purity or living in reality where other people have conflicting beliefs and negotiating with them???

If they get pissed off enough by the DemoRepubs ignoring them, they can start their own third party.

You have to admit that calling people "nuts" and "twits" isn't particularly civil, whether we're in Congress or not, right?

Well, from my perspective, the "nuts" and "twits" extremism is not civil either.  So I call it like it is.  Fight fire with fire.  People are too P.C. and civil (i.e. wanting respect for their inane B.S.) nowadays and that doesn't endear them to not having their legs knocked out from under them and fall flat on their ass so they will get a clue about their narrow bubble-reality.  If your child is disrespectful to elders, you slap them in the face so they will know they did something wrong and WAKE UP.  Same logic as applied to twits and nuts disrespecting the majority American body politic.  They even shut down the government and worried everyone needlessly, for gawd's sake!

There's a reason Reub and me get along.  We have the same motto.  I'm his #1 fan.

So you look at anybody who disagrees with you as a petulant child who needs to be slapped down?

Question: have you ever actually convinced anybody of anything?

No, of course not.  But the Tea Party aren't new on the scene and their [in]actions have had negative consequences.

Question: have you ever actually convinced anybody of anything?

You'd be surprised.  See my signature.  But in fairness, its not from calling extremists twits and nuts.

MG,

Could you please add into your "I am not xxxxxx" signature, "theologian", "prophet", and "open to ideas of others"?

I'm asking in the spirit of non-PCness that you endorsed in a previous post. 

Thanks.

Tempting.  But I disagree with the latter.  I'm very open to the ideas of others WHEN it is not contradicted by...  you guessed it, FACTS.

Actually, I agree with you.  Perhaps our sometimes "misalignment" comes from differing defnitions of the word "FACTS" and how those FACTS are determined and by whom.
