A dear friend sent me the following little message. I thought it was just funny at first, but then the more I read it ...it started to ring true. I am sure that many of our far leaning posters will not find it funny and will try to put me in my place for sharing it. But it is just too good to ignore.
Which side of the fence?
If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!
If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn?t buy one.
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn?t eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Democrats demand that those they don't like be shut down.
If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a Republican reads this, he'll share, it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A Democrat will delete it because he's "offended".
Since I'm a Republican I had to share.....😀

It mattesr that some of us lost love ones and they were murdered by the same religion that will occupy this mosque... that I can not overlook, and really don't think I ever will be able to forgive...
Is it fair to blame the entire Muslim religion for the murders on 9/11?
There are a Lot of Muslims who truly believe that the US invasion of Iraq is part of a Christian war on Islam. Is this fair of them?
Are all Christians implicated when the Westwood Baptist Church holds up signs saying "God Hates Fags" & "Thank God for Dead Soldiers" at military funerals?

I don't care what Muslims believe because they came here and murdered thousands of our innocent countrymen. Sure might feel different about it if Muslims came out against the radicals but they celebrated in the streets all over the World because of September 11.
Are you really saying you think it was fair for Muslims to come here and do murder? Are you truly so blase about the fate of these innocent people and their friends and familys of 9/11?
I have issues calling Islam a religion. I am in no way an expert on religion but to my knowledge it is unlike Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, in it is an organization that operates on undiluted hate, repression, deprivation and too many other negatives to list.

I think it is time for a Hitler Memorial to built at Auschwitz,just sayin'.
On a more fun note,the mosque Imom(sp?) said publicly,the U.S. policies were to blame for 9-11..good stuff huh? Here is some fun news,the commencement date of the mosque is.....yep,you guessed it!! September 11.
Have fun,forget common sense,"dis"-respect ground zero and keep defending the mosque.

Be honest. Your Hitler analogy is an overt vilification of all things Muslim under all circumstances. You can't deny that.

If you don't get the intent of the Muslim world that's your problem. People like you are going to get us all killed. Appeasement and limp-wristed wimps like Obama are not going to win the war against these violent people. By the way, Muslims don't give a rat's behind what you feel. They just want to kill you any way they can.

Am I the only one who is irked by the phrase "just sayin'"?
Maybe because I translate "just sayin'" as, "I cannot form a decent argument for my position so I will substitute with shallowness, sarcasm and glibness".

Someone did and you told them to go learn how to form an opinion. You just didn't get the response you wanted. You don't want to do the internet volly thing yet you repost the same post over again?
Defending the mosque??? Freedom of religion. Sounds like defending the Constitution. I don't always agree with what I see, or hear, or other people do, but the same rights they have, give me the same rights to do and say as I like under the law. Like it or not, they are not breaking the law. There's a lot more going on in the every day lives of Americans than this, imho.

Except for the families of those that lost on 9-11 and the huge majority of New Yorkers and those dying every day in Afghanistan because of the attacks.You are right though,too many more important things to worry about than this,lets just forget about that day......

No, lets not forget we are Americans and we stick with our Constitution because that is what seperates us at the end of the day and that was WHAT I thought we were fighting for, to keep our country free. Or, we could let them win and change because of them and let those lives be in vain.
I can also say with comfort that, yes,, the millions of people without work or a way to feed their family today should really be concerned about this first, you know, because YOU are.:sarc:
You don't want a discussion, you want to vent. You started a thread on this and then brought it over here because no one would bite. I'm done with it as well because nothing will change the course of this discussion.

I can't believe anyone takes this stuff seriously. It doesn't hurt unless you let it. It doesn't describe you unless you become it.
It is what it is, nothing.
Grammy, as to why Ugga's post got little response, I find it depends on who is the sitting President. When Bush was in, the jokes flew left and right about him, his lack of pronunciation, his lack of intelligence, etc etc. and those that supported him were thinned skinned about it. Now that Obama is President the party has simply changed. The jokes are about him and now those that don't want to take it have changed.
I did not find the ones about Bush/Republicans amusing and I don't find the ones about Obama/Democrats amusing. Not many will agree to that though.
I will say the topic was probably better suited for the Lounge instead of Political Disccusions.
totally agree. except I feel these are about American people, our friends and family, our loved ones, ourselves. not presidents.
