Cheney slams Obama for abandoning missle defense and Afganastan

[RBull]

Geez, I planned to stay completely away from the politics forum for quite a while. Some of the statements on here boggle (or is that booger)the mind.

[jaspergtr]

Jeff - either you saw his point, and were trying to counter (unsuccessfully), or you didn't see it, and you are completely oblivious to the obvious point he made.

Either way, it seemed to be really missing the mark.

[jaspergtr]

I also have seen many, many, many, people that have been liberal when young, turning conservative when aging...

Funny.

I've had this conversation here before.

Liberals tend to be younger, conservatives tend to be older.

People don't get dumber....

[Jeff92se]

they get senile

[jaspergtr]

I somehow knew you'd completely miss the point, and overshoot about 60 years. I was seriously expecting it from you and ONLY you.

You haven't let me down with missing a clear point. Good job. You represent an exact example of a liberal (or younger) point of view with your apparent inability to see a point.

I should've qualified my statement for only those who understand common sense, like someone who is older/wiser.

[Jeff92se]

Then I guess all those democrats in office including the President are not getting smarter (despite the Harvard Law degree)

The funny thing is you will go round and round like an amusement park ride and never ever actually clarify what the master debate booger meant. Odd, I guess Rbull, Imfunkrider amd I are just not up to booger's impeccable standards for debate. Not enough "LMAO!", "!!" and grammatical errors like the real conservatives get it done.

we didnt have to worry about the teachers being liberal in the midwest where being American was more important .

do the midwest school districts carry different school books than everywhere else in the u.s.?

teachers being mostly all liberal...is a problem with me . They push thier political and social views on our children .

ABC's and 123's and learning to write and speak properly.. learn mathematics .. is what happens at schools...

have you ever attended a school outside the mid-west ?
and if so..
please explain what those teachers outside the mid-west
did/taught you in a liberal manner??

as well as:
explain in what manner does the mid-west teach its children
differently than everywhere else in the country?

They are there to teach our kids to read and write not about some phoney global warming scam and show our kids the video....the story of stuff ....

teachers dont teach children how to think/believe a subject ..
they teach kids the subject .

if you decide not to believe in global warming thats your option ..
doesnt mean everyone else is wrong for thinking it is happening and would like to ensure we dont hurt our global environment more than we need to..

I still want to know what "show our kids the video....the story of stuff ...." means

^for starters..

Speaking of the liberal public school system, someone needs to drastically overhaul the one that attempted to teach you proper use of the English language.

Spell or grammar check much? Didn't think so.

Before someone talks about "some people's kids" they need to make sure they've constructed a coherent post.

You'll have a long wait. I doubt he even knows.

You don't have to be old to be a conservative or young to be a liberal - people who label themselves (in this day and age) paint themselves into a box IMO. I don't even know what a "conservative" is anymore - much less a "liberal." The lines are so blurred that it's hard to tell. I'd be hard-pressed to willingly stereotype myself into either camp.

If you're telling me that a conservative would be someone like Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, or Dick Cheney, then count me out.

If you're telling me that a liberal would be someone like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, or Obama, then I'm not in that camp either.

I tend to fall in the middle, taking things from both "sides" as they suit my way of thinking.

I'm 46. Using Booger's logic, I should have abandoned my tendency to think for myself and signed up for the Rush Limbaugh doctrine lock, stock, and barrel. I'd kill myself before that happens. I happen to believe Limbaugh is a destructive, devisive force in our society - but everyone is entitled to their opinion and that's another thread.

The way I see it, the far right and far left factions in this country are going to (if they haven't already) make it impossible to resolve anything and we'll stagnate - unable to move forward or half-step at best and we'll destined to die on the vine.

People think it can't happen here - that our society can't fall/fail like other great societies before us have. I believe the writing is on the wall. Attitudes like Boogers (and his counterpart on the left) will just hasten/solidify the process.

Regardless of healthcare and what happens there, I think our foray into Afghanistan is going to be Obama's legacy regardless of how we handle it (troop #s, strategy, etc). Like Vietnam, we're seeing a liberal President's domestic agenda being trumped by military obligations abroad - it's going to be interesting to see if we repeat the mistakes of the past.

Every one knows here that I cant spell or use the wrong words . Big fcking deal . If it makes you feel better or wiser to keep bringing it up . Knock yourself out big boy . Your ego must need the boost

Nobody said you HAVE to be old to be conservative, or you HAVE to be young to be liberal... It is a trend/tendancy. Younger people TEND to be liberal, that's all I believe he was saying about that. The line between "conservative" and "liberal" haven't blurred much, but rather the lines between democrat and republican have blurred quite a bit.

You sound like Ron Paul. How's that for a label?

I don't see where you got from booger that conservatives do not think for themselves and follow a doctrine from anyone...

Extremism is a small portion of our population. The majority of the people are neither left or right, but a balanced middle (is that box too tight that I'm trying to fit you into?). I fear that it's a majority of these people in the proverbial/political middle are the "sheep" that listen to speeches (on both sides), and need polls to tell them what to think. Not necessarily the extreme right or left. I feel that these people feel strongly enough without the supplemental opinions from celebrities to push them one way or the other.
