desmond: Shelley I know you have just been doing that and I thank you for doing it and enjoying reading your post when you do but then i sit back and see people trying to attack you because it not want they want to read and even worst what you post is the truth and make them look stupid
and the thing is they don't directly attack a persons comments. They try to belittle the person, and make them seem like their opinions don't matter. They have become very condesending by taking what you say out of context or twisting it to say something totally different than what you said. These people feel they must try an make you feel stupid or that your opinions are less valuable that theirs
desmond: Indy not by you but just because i don't post in many of these threads does not mean i don't read then and I have seen Shelley been attacked for just posting the truth by both sides
Even though Shelley's kinda wierd, I like her . (joking Shelley joking)
We don't agree on a lot...but hey...what's new...I don't agree with anyone.

Joke about Snopes all you want... but the fact remains that is one of the few places you can go and actually check facts before you post them. Not just politics but any rumours floating around... they use numerous sorces... list all of them and are completely unbiased... bloody refreshing to read facts instead of opinions and innuendo on both sides of the fence.
Indyfella: Just remember that on the 2 CNN stations and MSNBC are the only place for the "real" truth, obviously.
Indy there no full thuth from anyone and that is how sad life really is you will vote for who you like and I will do the same I don't even this if i showed you that obama cured cancer that will changed you mind you might saw what took him so long and i might say the same if mccain did the same............................ so to me it is what it is and now I am talking in general I just wish if everyone just poosted the truth not just the side that they like
tinymac: Well - it could have been a political stunt so that future threads like this would start discussions on his good intent and compassion for military service folk and their loved ones.
However, even if it was not the case, then:- 1) he isnt unique in doing this 2) lets hope his son got the message of how pointless and painfull wars really are 3) if he has got the message then lets hope he quits the military
I would not use my last hours with my son before he went to war for a political stunt. tinymac.
As for being unique....he is the only military father here in the US.....and I know a number of them......that has done this. Biden did not. Nor did Palin. So for in the US, I would say it is unique.
Maybe the young did get the message.....that service to one country...is a noble thing....that sometimes will ask the ultimate sacrifice.

He knows this. But was just another attempt to make people feel stupid.

Well, Friday night he did say he was born in a manger...that's good enough for me. OBAMA
