Or so said Laurie, and her link can be found for he final time HERE.
At first I was sad to see Laurie make this request, but then it dawned on me that it shouldn't have surprised me. Laurie lives in Louisiana, and is a yellow dog democrat who believed that President Bush should have personally come to LA ahead of the hurricane and taken each and every citizen of the state by the hand and walked them to somewhere. To Laurie, there is no personal responsibility in anything that we do, and the government has the responsibility to feed, clothe, and hosue everyone as well as pay to abort babies so that we can use them for stem cell research.
Of course I exagerate. But it is not hyperbole to point out that the left has excoriated this President and his administration for anything and everything. Too few troops! Send more troops? NO WAY! The whole administration are liars and fight oversight by Congress! (Wait...he is voluntarily sending us every document about the U.S. Attorney firings?) NO WAY! Issue a subpoena before the documents arrive! We need a new plan for Iraq, vote democrat! You voted democrat, lets work on health care!
Laurie is part of the left wing and will remain there. They say they are tolerant, yet refuse to listen to counter points. Laurie is so frightened of a difference of opinion that she doesn't even want us visiting her blog to read what she says!
At least she said Thank You. At least part of her southern breeding stuck.
You Are Among The Elite!

It surprised me, Laurie appereared open minded and willing to take on different topics. but we make choices and she made hers.
"Laurie lives in Louisiana, and is a yellow dog democrat who believed that President Bush should have personally come to LA ahead of the hurricane and taken each and every citizen of the state by the hand and walked them to somewhere.

Typical, Robert. I (politely) ask not to be associated with your right wing propaganda after you again call Americans "the enemy," and suddenly, I'm a "yellow dog democrat" who believes in welfare, abortion, and stem cell research (none of which is true, by the way). I believe you could be of great assistance to one Mr. Tony Snow.
My decision to ask you to remove the link to my blog has nothing to do with intolerance of other opinions, but rather intolerance of hatred and blindness. I suppose it's fine to believe that this administration is leading us in the right direction, that our future may be more secure because of it, but I would imagine that kind of opinion is better supported by citing the good you believe this administration has done, not the evil you believe the opposing party is concocting to bring this country to its knees.
"We need a new plan for Iraq, vote democrat! You voted democrat, lets work on health care!"
In case you're unaware, and your paranoia leads me to believe otherwise, the Senate just this week passed a bill setting benchmarks to get our hard-working, exhausted troops home where they belong. It's more effort for our brave men and women than we've seen from this administration since 2003.
"Laurie is so frightened of a difference of opinion that she doesn't even want us visiting her blog to read what she says!"
Another FYI: I haven't posted anything on my blog since the beginning of this semester. (Perhaps if you put your money where your mouth is and perused a "difference of opinion" every once in a while, you might have noticed.) In any event, when I'm blogging regularly, it is my sincere hope that EVERY member of the radical right wing visits my blog for his daily dose of reality. I realize it is in your nature to make unfounded assumptions, but again, the reason I asked that my link be removed is that I do not want to be associated with someone so hell bent on glorifying Dubya and the endless catastophes he has created for our country.
"At least she said Thank You. At least part of her southern breeding stuck."
Isn't it amazing when someone can remain polite despite being completely fed up?
Yes, I called liberals the enemy. Liberals are the enem to the U.S. Constitution, and the freedoms for which I have personally fought and bleed to protect.
My paranoia is the counter to your kool-aid, Laurie. The bill sets unilateral and arbitrary "benchmarks" that communicate whcih strategy that the enemy should follow. Thee is not a single military straegist that supposrt the implementation of these timetables, and for the dems to castigate the President for not following the military advice he recieves and then doing the same thing, is wrong.
Again, your refusal to look objectively at information that I present shows your "yellow dog" status. I ave never set out to glorify President Bush, and in fact have been critical of is immigration policies, his fiscal irresponsibility, and even have raked the GOP over the coals for their 12 year lack of leadership.
While I have said that a venture into Iraq ws inevitable, I have even questioned the decision to go their first before handling Iran and Syria. However, having made the commitment in Iraq, I spport it 100%, and will continue to do so.
I hate no one. My comments were hyperbole and used to make a point. I have always found you o be relatively reasonable, and in the comment next to your blog link always stated that there was hope for you...stated in a friendly way that you weren't lost to the Michael Moore wing yet. Perhaps that was wrong the entire time.
Hyperbole is rampant in the political blogosphere: it energizes those who agree and reinforces the opinions of those who disagree. It is interesting that we are confounded by those who fail to see the light of our side and our arguments: goes for both sides. To state that liberals are the 'enemy' hopefully is offered in a political sense as
many of us 'libs' are patriotic and love our country. We are veterans and we have friends currently in combat. So, in a sense, hyperbole follows the dictum that offense is the best defense..for example, here I am
defending liberals. *heh* But, as an old fellow, I can assure you that neither left nor right calls the shots in this democracy..its the big big middle over the last couple of generations that has voted this way/that way on what they perceive to be America's interests. Hyperbole aside, I do not see that changing soon....
I do see the shift returning the right in the next elections. Democrats won by a slim margin in many elections and thier ablity to maintain poise and real leadership hiinges on their dominance. The internet has created a whole new political platform for all parties to wage war.
If the Gathering of Eagles brought 25,000+ with only grassroots work, imagine versus the well funded and advertised ANSWER march, this could get really interesting. The "Silent Majority" may awake from its slumber.
BB-Idaho, some are receptive to colloquial speech. You know that I don't refer to individual democrats as the enemy, but to the very liberal ideas that I believe threaten the beauty of our constitution and way of life. I have served this country in combat, and I am pretty sure that the members of my squad, much less my entire rifle company, were not all conservatives. When the lead was incoming, I could have cared less the political persuasion of my brothers.
The hyperbole is a weapon of war, so to speak, for the votes and minds of the middle.
I am not reallyh confounded that people do not immediately come to accept my way of thinking. If you read my profile, it says that this place is for my personal rantings and beliefs, and I welcome contrary opinions! I even enjoy most of the discussions that could and have been had here. "Bush lied, kids died" got old about 3 years ago, so that is an example of discussion that I won't engage in. But virtually all topics are on the table. I am constantly flummoxed by the concept of people owning some of the opinions that they own, and how they could have possible come to the conclusions that they espouse.
But, the bottom line is that I think liberalism as a whole is dangerous, and I view those who worship at that altar as the "enemy", but as you say it is in a political context. I don't think we need to place liberals in concentration camps.
Shoot, I would be happy to designate everything west of the Rockies as the "New America" and all the libs can move there. Then we could avoid these nasty political silliness...lol.
Liberals, liberals, liberals. Does the tune ever change? I don't think I could say it better than Bill Maher, the traitorous liberal himself:
“You know, not to generalize, but the 29% of people who still support President Bush are the ones who love to pronounce themselves more patriotic than the rest of us, but just saying you’re patriotic is like saying you have a big c___. If you have to say it, chances are it’s not true. And indeed the party that flatters itself that they protect America better is the party that has exhausted the military, left the ports wide open, and purposefully outed a CIA agent, Valerie Plame.”
How right you are, Robert--liberals are indeed the enemy.
The tune has not, nor will it change anymore than it changed against communism. While the left feared the Soviet Union and wanted to cower at negotiation tables, Reagan was steadfast in his belief that they could be defeated. He was right.
Liberalism is as dangerous to the American way of life as socialism. If you are looking for me to change my beliefs, it isn't going to happen.
It is my sincere hope that, when the critical time comes, you don't mistake your real enemies for friends and vice-versa.
The critical time has come and gone, and I do correctly identify friend and foe.
The critical time was the failure of the left to actually join the rest of us and support the United States in the war against radical islam. Unfortuantely, the left has chosen to follow "Tokyo Rosie" as some are calling Rosie O'Donnel, and so hate something that you actually want America to fail.
The critical time has passed, and the left failed us.
"and so hate something that you actually want America to fail."
What?
