"Shut up and be thankful Bush is gone." What an incredibly bad idea...

[Junkdrawer]

In the sharp-elbowed game of politics, at least four big issues are being decided right now:

1.) How will the banking system be repaired?

2.) What kind of health care system will we have?

3.) What will our foreign policy be?

4.) How many rights will be sacrificed to "The War on Terror"?

I guarantee you that if Progressives keep quiet, the answers to those questions will be decided by the same forces that created Bush/Cheney.

This person used the word Shitheads before editing it to Fools.

There were a few more incendiary threads over the last week.

6. Your twisting of that person's words does not change reality. (nt)

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

8. Calling a person a fool or as originally called a shithead is basically telling someone

if they disagree to STFU.

9. Basically? Not LITERALLY?

Anything to cry foul, I guess.

12. Go read the thread..

RG is not one to suffer fools gladly. :)

14. Oh, please, don't play ingenue here.

[redqueen]

15. I'm not playing "ingenue" I'm playing fact-preferring-person.

I'm not fond of twisting words. It suits your purposes here, so you are. I doubt you're always so supportive of the practice.

2. Can you post a link to where someone said that?

Thanks in advance!

7. lol! i just cited this one. Do you know that the OP originally used the word shithead before

editing it to fools?

[Fumesucker]

11. I didn't see that but I read it in the thread..

Isn't that RGBolen's new incarnation?

RG and I have crossed swords a couple of times in the past.
