Be it guns or warming, the future is in dire need of good lobbyists. merrily Apr 2014 #8

Agreed. Hence the "dire need." merrily Apr 2014 #22

"Poppy Bush was recently named as a JFK Profiles in Courage recipient" AAO Apr 2014 #50

That is revolting but here is something I find equally disturbing Samantha Apr 2014 #107

Probably accurate. I think Poppy has a bit of intelligence in is brain stem. AAO Apr 2014 #123

You are mistaken. MADem Apr 2014 #146

The fact that you misrepresent my post does not = my being mistaken. merrily Apr 2014 #150

I didn't misrepresent your post--you have been non-responsive at best in this exchange. MADem Apr 2014 #151

I did not snark. You have. I've said what I said without a trace of sarcasm. merrily Apr 2014 #154

Again, you are mistaken. The POTUS has absolute discretion to award that prize to MADem Apr 2014 #155

Again, I never said he did not have discretion to make the choice. merrily Apr 2014 #156

You asserted the award was given "on behalf of the nation." MADem Apr 2014 #157

Sigh. The nation has no input into most of the things that elected representatives do merrily Apr 2014 #158

What? We petition our representatives to create laws that benefit us. That IS how the system works. MADem Apr 2014 #159
