Oh come on Varus. I voted for Bush twice but my head's not so far stuck up my ass that I can't see his shortcomings.

Saying someones made mistakes is a far cry from calling them stupid. Just because I don't agree with everything he does or says doesn't mean I hold him in any less regard; just that I don't happen to aggree with him on that particular issue.

You must try out for last comic standing if they ever come to your town.

Well, seeing as I am a product of public education, its not surprising that I am not following the point with that comment..

Above your post sir, are the posts I have made in this thread. I'd like you to point out where I "impugned" the President's intelligence?
The no child left behind comment was in response to your comment about people with public education. Bush has put a program into place to "remedy" this system, but by your stance on those with that education, I take it that its not working out too well?

As for Rush....I wont listen to him, I wont listen to anyone like him, conservative or liberal. I look at whats happening with the country, the things that are being done by both Houses and in the White House and I base my opinion on that, not what someone else on the radio thinks about it.


I thank your family for their service and I'll thank you to never make assumptions about me again.

You do realize that most politicians are attorneys don't you? And what kind of person refuses to listen to differing political opinions? You frequent this political forum don't you? It's called due diligence; you listen to all sides of the subject and form an opinion. If you're scared to listen to someone you migh actually agree with here and there what does that make you? But hey keep listening to classic rock i'm sure you're learning much more there.

Considering some of the mistakes he's made lately and one that he may make very soon, a reasonable person would most definitely question his intellect.

Good lord, just because I don't/wont listen to Rush, etc. means I don't listen to differing political opinions? I'm here aren't I?
Everyone listens to different opinions, a good portion of people I know happen to be conservatives (I do live in the South), as well as several people here, whom I consider friends.
I don't flip on the radio or TV and say "Well, that settles it, I feel this way". Whether or not I even intend it, I'm always hearing different views.

I'll say this, I have a habit of listening to people who offer respect, and don't jump to telling me things about myself which aren't true.

Yes, that is true. Though, I would hope that some would come a little closer to a correct assumption than you have.

If I were to base you on how you have acted in this thread, I'd say you were a dickless prick who couldn't find his asshole unless it was drawn on a map by Tony Snow, but that wouldn't be wise, as I don't know you.

Your opinions seem to consist of "liberals lie, liberals despise the military, the public school system churns out people not worth listening to, welfare brats support the democrats" etc. etc. Those lines are a dime a dozen around here Varus.

IMO, come up with some new material or people might stop listening to you.

I agree 100%. They can t teach you common sense, can they? It doesn t latter whether it was an A or F he got or whether he went to Harvard or wherever. He is still an idiot and an appauling public speaker.

I know plenty of academicly brilliant people who can hardly get 2 words out of their mouths/have no social skills or are appauling speakers and are completely out of touch with reality

In fact most of the strangest people I met were very academicly bright but just can t handle reality.

Some people are not academic and have no degree at all but they have carisma and common sense. thats what get them through life.

Is this more of that open minded liberalism? You're quick to judge Rush but you openly admit you don't listen to his program. Yet people who own businesses that do choose to listen to him rather than idiot rock or thug rap must be sheeple. Do you see the hypocrisy?

Hearing different views is quite different than giving credence to those same views.

Maybe they are true you're just in denial...ever thought about that?

I only have the words you've posted here to go on; you've done all the rest.

Based on what? The fact that I refer to the type of people who turned a san diego baseball game into a gay day the same day they were having a family day as whacked out libs?

Perhaps that's because i've watched liberal democrats make a concerted effort to saboteuge this war effort and put our soldiers lifes in danger, not to mention the threat to the general public. Because I've watched the Democrats spend more time chastizing the president than actually contributing to this fight against islamo fascists? But hey you keep spending your days listening to classic rock.

I could care less what people think. It's a shame so many are so concerned with whether or not they hurt someones feelings rather than upholding the ideals our founding forefathers set forth like liberty and freedom. To take a line from a conservative talk show host (Boortz) don't believe anything I say unless it's something you already know to be true or have taken the time to research the matter yourself.

So much anger.

So little coherence.



I know that you like to label anything you disagree with as "liberal." That's fine. Your kind of political creature is nearing extinction. You won't be missed.
