Bev, do you really think that personal insults help the search for
truth?

Ask yourself the same question Gene. When is enough, enough on
politics?

It is never enough to stop exposing criminality. The Supreme Presidency and the DC Whorehouse exist as they do because too few Americans make efforts to expose it and to vote against the wrongdoers. "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."

I wasn't searching for any kind of truth,

I am always searching for truth.

I was stating my opinion.

That is about all that any of us have anymore. Like arguing religion and quoting selected biblical passages, there are ample quotes from myriad sources to support any position today.

I take it as a personal insult every time you write 'The
Revolution is BO...blah blah blah'..

My opinion about Barack Obama is insulting to you? There is no connection in my mind between what I think about Barack Obama and what I think about you. I respect your opinions and I expect you to respect mine.

But when you say that I am not worried about the rights of my fellow Americans, that is personally insulting to me.

You are entitled to believe anyway
you want, just as I am. I resent, however, your comments that reflect
your views that socialism is a good thing.

You resent me stating my positions regarding socialism? Wow. Any other subjects about which you resent my expressions?

I am sick to death of Bush
and Republican bashing. It is beating a dead horse.

Those who forget history repeat it. It is important to never stop reminding people of wrongdoings.

I am tired of
feeling like I have to defend my country at every turn.

Well, then, stop doing it. How you react is your choice. You are a sovereign citizen.

I will gladly
do that, but I shouldn't have to, especially to another American. You
seem to constantly degrade and find fault with America, and that is
insulting to me. I love my country for better or for worse,

Loving "for better or for worse" is a problematical stance, I think. It requires excusing and accepting wrongdoings.

but Obama is
not what the founding father's envisioned for America.


Perhaps. Certainly they did not envision an imperial presidency.

Laugh if you want, but for me, these discussions are as serious as life
and death. This is not philosophical entertainment for me.

You are on to something there. This election may well result in life or death for many of our citizens in many different situations. War and health care come most immediately to mind.

This election scares me...it is sinking in that everything I have worked for
for the last 10 years is for nothing....

Wow. I feel bad that you feel that way. About all I can suggest is that you have long talks with people you respect.
