Have at it drama queen. I think you know this to be a false characterization of me, Bakerstreet.

I'm glad we have a better understanding of each other. I will make that understanding apparent with my actions in our further communication.

um nope does not clear why YOU CHOOSE to be insulting, with a cavalier "total waste of blog space" remark. I think I've explained this as well as I can, drmiler, sorry I can't fill in all the blanks or make you understand.

deference has never liked me and took great joy in my early attempts to blog, I remember many scathing remarks from him, her? seems like some things never change doc. That is simply not the case. I've never even *met* you. Now maybe I don't like everything you say and maybe I think your reasoning to be a bit flawed, but it's never been about simply wanting to ridicule you. Or any other user here. I apoligize if I

If you didn't come looking for a fight then "why" did you write the things you did? That's an honest and sincere question, so I'm going to break it down just for you. My first comment in post 26, as I explained was due to my inability to see the purpose of the post. I concluded - total waste of space. Moderateman could have really made quite an interesting, insightful, or even funny blog with the concept of the next president elect and provided a cohesive piece which c

Would that be before or after we rip your leg off and beat you half to death with the bloody stump Bad foaming-at-the-mouth-rabid dog! Bad! Eat second amendment b*tch! *gunshot* *baA-ark!* Seriously, drmiler, just stop. Let it go. I really didn't come here to pick a fight.

After another excellent evening, I awake this morning to find the usual here at JU from, well, the usual. Some seem to be miffed regarding my comment that this blog is a total waste of perfectly good space and my sincere question, "What's the point?" both of which seem to have touched a chord, a sample from our intelligent, fair-minded, and deliberate bloggers: "You must hate your life, dont you?" "Go tilt at windmills somewhere else Don Quixote." "Take a hik

Bush's latest Supreme Court nominee I think pretty much seals it that Bush is really just an idiot. - Draginol No other JU user could get away with saying this without being called a 'liberal' , bush-bashing, unpatriotic fool. Now, suddenly, we miraculously have a change of tone from the peanut gallery when the message of Bush's flaws comes from a different messenger.

how does it feel for me to totally ignore anything you type and just point out your failings? I'm unhurt, you, however, must be very familiar with the feeling, why don't you share it with us? So again, what is the point you were trying to make with this blog? I must have missed it, somehow, so I'm asking the author? What are you trying to express with this blog? Anger? Is it anger? Hurt?<B

Once again another jerk missing the point because spelling is much more important than content or a discussion Yep, I mispelled a word in a post, a far cry from your consistancy. now... What is this blog's point?

Reply to Date: January 2009 in Politics JoeUser Forums

geee deference I am humbled by your sarcastic wit, where are you in the list of top bloggers? or top blogspts? oh yeh you do not excist. At least I can spell - or at least take the time and the effort to show some pride in what I write to run spellcheck. "Moderateman", I don't need the opinion of JU users to know I'm far ahead of you in any capacity. I simply shared my (very reasoned - I might add, Bakerstreet) opinion.

See they have already written a blog about this very subject. Which blog on what subject, you need to be more precise for me to answer your question. Time and again you were shown to be wrong and you simply ignored what para said and just reitterated your talking points. If you are so dull as to not see where I responded to many of Para's arguments or too stubborn to recognize them it will hardly do anyone any good and simply waste my time going back ove

I was considering finishing off my 'debate' with you, but it seems you've already offed yourself rather then see me with nails and hammer coming to nail your argument's proverbial coffin shut. You have just given everyone here the perfect illustration of an irrational warhawk indifferent to fact regarding this war. You argument has de-evolved to 'if you don't want to fight, you're a pro-terrorist coward'. Facts and considerations other than conlict are not within your realm

Reply to Did someone forget to tell Cindy Sheehan that Bush is away? in Politics JoeUser Forums

There seem to be some very evident truths being brought to light in these posts between us. You seemingly are of the opinion that once a conflict has begun, regardless of false pretenses or cost to Americans, Americans shall always stick to a conflict, regardless. My position in this argument is that Americans will not and should not stick to a conflict when the cost of it outweighs the benefits. I find your position unre

Reply to Who Voted Against John Roberts? in Politics JoeUser Forums

Bakerstreet, I've heard that argument before from you (society on rails) and do agree with you, when I'm talking about a progressive judge you understand I am referring to one overturning current legislature with a new precedent when that precedent is not explicitly supported by any statute or writing found within the constitution or bill of rights.

Reply to Who Voted Against John Roberts? in Politics JoeUser Forums

The only reason the above voted against Roberts was because they believed him to lack a (in their view) vital ingredient in a Supreme Court Justice - a progressive stance. Read 'Men in Black' by Mark Levin, definently skip the forward, but it should provide an interesting yet basic explorative in to the history of the Supreme Court. Robert Bork's ~1996 book "Slouching Towards Gommorrah" is another interesting view on the lack of ori

Deference, The Revolutionary War, The War of 1812, The Civil War, The Mexican American War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Desert Storm... No one knew how long any of these would last, or how much they would cost. In most of the cases there were huge human losses before the U.S. and our allies were able to turn the tide to victory. There were protesters in every case. Which of these would you have pulled troops out early because of the human or monetary cost? Great q

I would suggest you blog your long winded response so that others can consider it on its own. not as a comment on a different thread. I thought about that and almost did it. Unfortunately, the posts are a response and not a blog. To post it as a blog would require that I either link to this page anyway for reference sake (really creating a bad view for the user to see the posts without reference to each other and defeating the purpose

I'm telling the JoeUser.com family now, I don't think there is a single user that will successfully argue against the resolution "Americans will never see a return benefit as great as the sacrifice they will and / or have paid for the war in Iraq." I fail to believe Draginol, Myrrander, Bakerstreet, ParaTed2k, Little Whip, Dabe, Texas Wahine, or any other JoeUser member will be able to defeat this argument's resolution. The most obv

Reply to Did someone forget to tell Cindy Sheehan that Bush is away? in Politics JoeUser Forums

Deference, all you did was spend a lot of time rehashing tired Democrat talking points. On the contrary, I answered Leuki's question with an argument supported by numerous facts proving my thesis that the cost of Iraq was, is, and never will be worth whatever benefit we Americans may ever gain. I questioned the selectiveness (and by connotation, the sincerity) of the 'humanitarian mission'. I further pushed that question with the depleted uranium facts which begged another ques

My allegiences are clearly in line with the best interests of the American people 'ParaTed2k'. You've failed to address any point I've made...with a counter argument, evidence, or 'hey, I, ParaTed2k, an adamant Iraq war supporter regardless of the facts recently presented to me on Joeuser.com simply disagree'. Please, I invite you, answer with something substantive addressing the points made in post number 53. I understand you know what's up, 'ParaTed2k' so let me know. Don'

There is a cost to every war. There is a cost a country must hide from itself to convince it’s public the sacrifice is not too great and that the benefit of going to war is much greater. Sometimes that war is considered won when the cost is at least met by it’s success, most often, it is seen as Pyhrrical, or lost when the remaining public look back years later and realize once and for all, much too late, that the cost far outweighed the sought-after goal. In Iraq, which resembles more Vietna
