Does putting an unnecessary apostrophe on the word Sunday above count as remedial grammar? nt Guy Whitey Corngood Jul 2015 #72

You're kind. One poster's unnecesary apostrophe is another's erroneous use of the apostrophe. merrily Jul 2015 #80

This guy, the fucking balls on Guy Whitey Corngood Jul 2015 #82

I know you're only quoting DeNiro, but the alert squad may call that an OTT personal insult. merrily Jul 2015 #83

That's exactly how it was meant. But I agree that it may be Guy Whitey Corngood Jul 2015 #85

Well, if it does go to a jury, maybe they'll see these posts, too. merrily Jul 2015 #86

We are expecting a big turnout this week, Obama is on a spectacular roll - hope there is enough in the coffee kitty. Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #56

We must be willing to criticize the President when he's wrong. It isn't bashing. Enthusiast Jul 2015 #50

It's called democracy.. haikugal Jul 2015 #79

It's a good thing that I'm a democrat and capable of nuances..... daleanime Jul 2015 #44

Insane?!! Let's face it: Gore is just a racist and a hater RufusTFirefly Jul 2015 #4

Gore is also "corrupt"! Indeed, if Gore was a DU member, long time or not, I would alert also!! Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #5

Here is an article on the President's reasoning. Objectively speaking I would say the Presidents still_one Jul 2015 #6

I thought we were going to have wind and solar power? What's this oil thing? Rosa Luxemburg Jul 2015 #8

I think his argument is based on the premise that a transition is necessary to get off fossil fuels. still_one Jul 2015 #9

We started the transition in the 70's. That's just subterfuge to help the other Republicans. n/t jtuck004 Jul 2015 #12

no argument from me still_one Jul 2015 #23

President Obama has set-aside, protected more land from oil drilling then any president in history. Sunlei Jul 2015 #43

That is the argument he is making. Personally, I don't think it justifies the arctic oil drilling still_one Jul 2015 #64

Barack Obama will be the greatest president in HISTORY and "white tears" are being shed... Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2015 #11

...and bathed in....apparently.... truebrit71 Jul 2015 #14

Indeed. And pretending not to understand Gore called Shell's plans insane is a clear sign. Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #16

I could give a fuck about Al Gore or what he thinks. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2015 #70

Wow...talk about overestimating the quality of his Presidency: i.e., Gitmo is still open...etc. n/t xocet Jul 2015 #66

Talk to Congress about Gitmo. When Gore becomes president, let's talk. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2015 #69

No need. President Obama is CIC. He should be able to take care of things re: the military, & xocet Jul 2015 #87

Al Gore didn't become president. Again, when he is president and can solve these issues, let's talk. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2015 #88

The "greatest" is hyperbolic on your part unless you like what the President has xocet Jul 2015 #89

Al Gore has lost his credibility on this subject. Buzz Clik Jul 2015 #13

How do you figure? truebrit71 Jul 2015 #15

I figure the conclusion has been figured out by taking one unread article out of context and applying mass amnesia. Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #18

Too much is never enough once you go down that extremist RW path. Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #33

newsmax, especially on a bitty, cell phone screen, with the 30 emails a day, makes people insane. Sunlei Jul 2015 #47

I hear folks even get hate-filled, paranoid "Newsmax Alerts" on their mobiles....hate is like a drug, I just say "no". Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #55

You can disagree with my evaluation of him as a messenger, but the facts are indisputable. Buzz Clik Jul 2015 #29

Burn the heretic! It is all on act by Gore. The fact Gore is Enemy #1 with Big Oil and Coal is..... Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #32

Nice try. Buzz Clik Jul 2015 #41

This case against Gore is weak sketchy Jul 2015 #37

We disagree. I have no problem with that. Buzz Clik Jul 2015 #40

Since he invests in companies that SELL offsets, I wonder if he gets "discounts" on his offsets. n/t hughee99 Jul 2015 #51

It is WAY too expensive and demanding in so many ways for economical oil from the Arctic Ocean..Obama knows that. Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #52

Yeah, it's crazy. But, every politician seems to need to pick a poison. raouldukelives Jul 2015 #45

insane it is == absolutely oldandhappy Jul 2015 #60

It's funny because in the text he actually praises Obama, criticizes Artic drilling as insane and Bluenorthwest Jul 2015 #62

which causes people to take knee-jerk pavlovian responses. geek tragedy Jul 2015 #75

Anything to relieve Obama from responsibilty for his policies, eh? [n/t] Maedhros Jul 2015 #76
