| You really represent no one aside from your self, please stop making claims for the rest of us. This non-Catholic democrat feels embarassed to share the title "liberal" with you and your kind. |
| And for that, Zoomba, I give you all my insightfuls for the day. |
As do I.
Slightly thread hi-jacking, and completely ignoring COL Gene's resposne to me above (which I'll get to, probably get inflamed at, and want to tear the COL a new one for in a bit, but oh well).
COL Gene - read these words carefully. I'd say I'm typing them slowly for you, but it wouldn't matter.
Read Zoomba's words. Read those of little_whip and others. Read them and pay attention to them carefully.
Your message, as important, or non-important as it may be, is lost because you can not keep yourself from tearing down Pres. Bush in the most hostile and antagonistic ways possible.
You purposefully choose the most antagonistic headlines and rants, and use them trying to gin up ever dwindling support for the ideas of those that lost in this last election and the one prior.
Even when you bring up very valid points -- such as President Bush's immigration policies -- you can't seem to keep from doing it in the most hostile away, leaving everyone to miss your message and instead see nothing but the pile of ash and manure you have made.
If you want people to really consider your points, then slow down more. You've done well in exercising the spell checkers and grammatical checkers, now do a little more checking of the facts and policies, and tone down your message a bit so that you appear to be a reasonable individual and not a loose nut job.
You can at times make very valid points on very valid issues, where -- believe it or not -- you may be correct in saying that Pres. Bush is failing to show leadership, or is going in the wrong direction. But your message is gone after the first two sentences of just about any post you type because by then everyone is groaning and realizing it's just another Bush bash, no matter the underlying subject matter.
Try less hostility in your messages. Lower the tone of your rhetoric in your subject lines, and try getting your point out there without it looking like yet another attempt to fling pooh at the President.
You might find more people agree with you, or can at least see the valid points in your arguments. You might find they are less likely to be hostile to you, and maybe even occassionally supportive. Of course that all depends on you, as what you get back will most likely (as usual) be a reflection of what you are putting forth.
I see Island Dog's response above, and would be safe (I think) in adding Island Dog to the list that I posed above suggesting all of the above. Add another Insightful rating to the give away pile.
