100,000 new troops apparently. http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/promises-promises-questions-about-romney-vows-to-cut-taxes-expand-military-balance-budget/2012/04/27/gIQA58SclT_story.html
Republican platform to balance budget: (you can't make this shit up)
1. Dramatically increase military spending and hire 100,000 additional troops for the war Republicans will start shortly after taking office.
2. Give the richest Americans massive tax cuts by eliminating all forms of taxation that don't actually involve work. (dividends, interest, capital gains)
3. Eliminate all estate taxes so billionaires never need to relinquish their possessions. (that farm you have your eye on will be locked into a single family for 1000 years)
4. Eliminate most Medicare benefits (opposed 2 to 1 by Ammericans)
5. "Reform" social security. (average 25% cuts across the board)
6. Cut waste (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA......right)
Quiz: What do most Republican voters say the number one issue is?
Answer: BALANCING THE FEDERAL BUDGET!!!!!
How is this not brain damage?

Are you a U.S. citizen or resident? If so, the President is your leader ("your leader" being shorthand for "leader of the government that is responsible for managing the country that you reside in"). You can't say that someone isn't your leader because you didn't vote for them -- that's not how our democracy works.

Having a twisted panties day are we? Ok for the nitpickers, Obama is the elected leader of the country, but I don't think he is a very good one.
Now go explain to cloud that Obama is his leader also. Good luck.

You've got to laugh. You throw out insults left, right, and centre. You constantly attack people whose views don't quite mesh with your very right-wing outlook. And as for your digs at Obama... And when people respond with actual evidence, how do you respond? Why it's commie this, socialist that, blah-de-blah-de-blah.
And you then have the nerve to complain about people insulting you, a post which you seem to repeat at the end of many threads. Get a grip.

No, I've followed the real estate forum on here for years (and only that), but the real estate side of things has all but disappeared and so I happened to start reading other sections.
And I'm not pretending I don't see it. What I'm saying is that people respond in kind. You insult, others insult back. You see how that works? The thing is that you keep posting your 'oh, I've been insulted again' comments as if you are an innocent party. You aren't.

You don't mind the insults? Fine. Then stop crying like a baby about them when you are one of the worst offenders. Nearly every post you make is an attempt at provoking people you consider liberals (as if that is an insult!) with ill-founded remarks or downright lies. When people respond, you whine like a little girl. It's ridiculous.
And you still haven't told me Eric Blair's politics.

No, I'm insulting you (and I said 'whine'). But it's a very mild insult, don't you think? And don't play dumb about your hypocritical moaning about people insulting you. You've done it a number of times. If you don't want people to insult you, then stop insulting them. Stop starting threads or posting comments that you know damn well are only intended to goad people into reacting. You really are full of it sometimes. You try to create this pretense of wanting an honest discussion, normally when you've been on the receiving end of people's fact-based responses, but just take a look at your thread titles:
Help Me Mommy, Help Me!
You Libs are F'd up
You Libs Are Really F'd Up- Elizabeth Harvard Native American
You Libs Are Really Really F'd UP
You Libs Are F'd
Most business owner are Republicans; Most of the military are Republicans.
Why are liberals afraid of Voter ID?
Obama Ate Dog Meat As A Boy! Alpo is ramping up for another Obama 4 years!
Atheists March on Washington...Baaahaha ha ha ha ha !
Patrick's Muppets and ObamaSachs
And that's just a sample. Clearly, you're interested in engaging people in reasonable debate. There's absolutely no way your intention is to get a reaction, a reaction that you will then pretend to be offended by. No sir, not Cloud.

I am assuming you are saying left and right politically? While in the current political climate the "right" is more motivated to use religion to affect public policy, politics has very little to do with the religiosity of an individual. Religious persuasion has a lot more to do with how one interprets religious text, and yes just about anything can be justified by the bible.
However, there are things that are very clearly stated in the bible that need to be carefully cherry-picked around and justified away to suite ones favorite flavor of christianity. Jesus saying to hate ones family is one of these things.

Don't be stupid. They are discussing reducing the extent to which you can fill your body with sugar. I'm not personally in favour of the measure, but there is a massive amount of sugar in far too many foods that is affecting all of us one way or another. What about an additional tax on those foods with an excessive amount of sugar in them? You know - like CRV was introduced to encourage recycling. Perhaps the money from overly sugared products could go directly to fund medicaid or...
Either way, discussing ways of improving health is not some sort of slippery slope to you being dragged out of your house in the middle of the night for no reason. But hey, you're back at it again with your overwrought language. Yeah, yeah, Cloud. Discussing ways of improving general health is clearly incendiary.

Are you asking me if I sent a private email to patrick concerning shrek? Nope, sorry to disappoint but I did not.
Was shrek a troll? Yes.
Was shrek an idiot? Yes.
Was shrek a huge asshole? Yes.
Was shrek banned over politics as you imply? No.
While I am not sad to see the "shrek" account gone, I can sum up my feelings about shrek in one word...
meh.

Patrick is a very tolerant moderator, as I am sure you know.
Shrek him/her-self gave Patrick plenty of rope for the hanging.
