care to count how many posts I have made about Bush on PB or otherwise? I am actually anti- most politicians, either side of the fence. Go ahead and find and point to a bunch of my rhetoric-filled politics posts.

Hell, I probably have about 100 posts there total. I like to read what people post there when they are posting actual content, but have little to no desire to enter into pissing matches over politics with anyone there. I even stood up for you and Hank as recently as yesterday, if you recall.

Anyway, I am not at work and engaging in this discussion with you any longer would be counter to my Thursday evening enjoyment, so instead I'm going to head off into the sunshine and maybe run across the street to shop and/or drink.

Toodles!

Okay. And I do acknowledge that you stood up for the two of us and responded appropriately at that time. I think.

Enjoy.

One of the reasons I quickly tired of engaging youon the FB is that you cannot help yourself but misstate other people views. On the above point, you know I don't think that. We traded PMs about it yesterday.

Whether you're being inattentive or provocative, it doesn't matter anymore. It's like arguing with a second grader.

I think I could say the same of you. The problem I have with your acknowledging a point is that you qualify the acknowledgment to the point that you are not really acknowledging it anymore. I presented multiple facts regarding an issue that would lead many an objective person to be able to make an unqualified conclusion, but you still qualify it. Its like me saying, I've heard a lot of things about this Hitler chap and his gas chambers. Sounds bad. I'd like to get more information.

No, she gave up on the board. And she's likely to give up on other boards if she's harrassed too much.

Well, you lasted longer than I did over there.

I think I might be more critical of Bush but for the blatant prejudice and close mindedness of the anti-Bush crowd, which makes me defensive. I have had educated people who claim to be open minded, diverse and anti-bias come into my home with no actual knowledge of my politics and say to me, as they ate my food and drank my wine, "I could never socialise with someone who voted for Bush, they are just awful people". Literally. As partisan as people may think I am, the supermajority of people I associate with left of Hillary Clinton and some of them are open socialists. As partisan as I am, I would never say something so ignorant or prejudiced and I would never teach my kids blind hatred of another group of people because they voted for the opposite mainstream party. Yet I see, in person, liberals do it on a daily basis. Literally. And before someone cites the religious right as exhibiting that same behaviour, I don't consider the religious right generally to be educated open minded people, so I expect close minded parochial ignorance out of them.

I didn't see your opinions on pubic hair in any of these rants, so I'm assuming it's off topic.

Comparing buses only reported on Fox to gas chambers? Nuts!

It's not even like asking for more information about the pubic hair on the coke.

Nuts! Buses! Nuts! Buses!

Nuts, nuts, nuts!

Maybe I'm jaded or high or my experiences over 25 years in federal, state (in 3 states in highly distinct areas of the country) and local politics are far out of the norm, but I find it shocking that educated person would find the politics board to be so contentious or partisan that it would scare them away. That board is nothing compared with the reality of politics. On any given night in any major city you have adults from all walks of life and politic stripes screaming at local officials in city council and assorted city board meetings. In seattle where everyone is left of the center of the democratic party I can't count the number of city council meetings I have been at where people call the city council members facists and nazis. Maybe you all live in nicey-nice land, but I have never seen it, from the Northeast, to DC to the midwest to the west coast. The DU is a more bareknuckle board than our PB and they are all on the same side. Except for Hank's socks. And mine.

Earlier I said I prefer cat hair merkins to human hair merkins. the cat hair weaves are softer and more supple to the touch. Meeeoooww! Plus each feline hair merkin means one less cat to worry about.

Its not buses only reported on Fox. Spanky spanked that canard two days ago. Your inattention to detail and lies is what makes the issue necessary to continue to discuss. Why anyone would defend this buffoon is beyond me.

2 to almost all of this post, but still I think a quieter disapproving glance at the hate as flows from Katrina might be more effective. NTBAOTL

I don't think that the FB Community wants to hear me argue with you about the Politics board. The short version of my answer is that I'm tired of hearing the same thing in response to any post, and of seeing photoshopped carricatures take the place of rational discussion.

It seems that the less it coincides with your opinion the less rational it becomes.
