As Karen Carpenter Once Sang, "Where Do I Begin.......?"

Oct 29, 2004 15:02

To Slickgothgurl, I believe that God paved the way for every President we've ever had....even Bill Clinton. Read the writings of our forefathers, the ones that established this country, they mention God regularly. The House and Senate open with prayer, as (I believe) does the Supreme Court. If Kerry is elected, he'll place his hand on a Bible to ( Read more... )

that's true, clinton did sign nafta, and it certainly contributed to a decrease in jobs in america (of course, this was during the best economy in US history, but that's a whole other matter ( ... )

i didn't get your email from ana's journal until tonight, or i would have spent more time on this reply. it's late and i have to go to bed soon in order to be up for work.

i did want to comment on this:
As far as the war on terror goes, I'm sure you'll change your tune when funding for homeland security is cut back and a few of your city busses go up in smoke.have you ever been to boston? have you had to rely on the "T" to get you where you want to go each morning and night? if you have, which i doubt, you'll know that funding for the MBTA is already gone downhill. they increased the fare on Jan 1 of this year, but there still isn't enough cash to get the buses and trains sto run on time or schedule. there needs to be more buses on the busy routes and they need to re-structure one of the busiest train lines. so "homeland security" has already affected my daily routine. and with bush back in office ("god" forbid), it will be even worse ( ... )

Well, I'll address your most (I'm assuming) light-hearted criticism first. Yes, tolerant does only have one "l". On the other hand, if we're going to be so unforgiving of one another, there's a key labeled "Shift" on most keyboards.....this enables one to "capitalize" proper nouns and the first words of sentences. You seem to have found it to emphasize certain words, so I suggest you buy, "Primary English" by Harper. It's crammed full of helpful insight on how to communicate properly ( ... )

first of all, i type here sans capital letters because that's my style. just as e.e. cummings did. would you like to pass along "Primary English" to him as well? no wait, he's dead. this is style. spelling mistakes and the inability to push the "spell check" button is just lazy. and you didn't hit "reply" to my post, so i had to come back here and assume you were addressing me with this post ( ... )

Ha ( ... )

in two parts...part 1 slickgothgurl November 1 2004, 17:22:46 UTC

ok, this is my last reply to you because you keep wanting to hearken back to the good 'ol 1960's, instead of focusing on the present. have you noticed that you haven't addressed anything i've said in any of my posts? you just keep stuffing your religious fanaticism down my throat (which i don't appreciate, by the way) instead of actually addressing the things i've mentioned. especially in ana's journal where all of this started. i do not have the time to go back over it, either. but that's typical of republicans. skirt the questions and just fire off what bad things clinton did and how horrible liberals are for our society.

ok, so on to your question: I'm curious as to what lies President Bush told....Just name five or so.

do you mean besides the whole "weapons of mass destruction" thing? and the fact that saddam and iraq were not a threat to us or our soil? woah! there's two! ok i'll continue, but it will be difficult to limit it to 5. just beware that i can back up this bulleted list with sources. i'm not a right wing media hound ( ... )

Clinton was an out and out coward. The Cole was attacked and he did NOTHING....and his people KNEW it was Bin Laden, knew where he was and Clinton did nothing.oh i can't let this one go either. you're so wrong on this one it's not funny. let me wipe the clouds from your eyes for a second ( ... )
