The Respectfully Republican Conversation

Great news, IBC, I'm so happy for you both.

As far as the bickering on the threads, I have resolved not to go over there to read anymore. It just stresses me when I read the thinking of some people. The people here are much more entertaining with the joking and reminiscing of the oldies, not to mention the respectfully Republican part.

IBC, I am in tears for your good news. The answer to all of our prayers. God is good. Give Cam extra hugs from all of us!

Now I am going to get you on a strict health regiment. Moody are you ready to play drill sargeant to our dear soldier? Left Left Left Right left.

Oops I meant, Right Right Right, left RIGHT!

sorry, wrong thread

PatMom, Thanks for letting us know what happened. That was an unbelievably childish thing to do. I was wondering why my posts were deleted when I tried to stay out of it. You are so right. MLK would not have liked this kind of nastiness. Supressing the freedom of anyone is not what he stood for.

For a minute there, I thought I was back in junior high. I am so glad those days are over. Now I just want to add again because I am so happy!

Three Cheers for Cam and her dear hubby!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hip Hip Hurray!

Hip Hip Hurray!

Hip Hip Hurray!

(Did I spell that right?)

 Oh, IBC, I just remembered. I finished my last rad last year on MLK birthday. So we both have something to celebrate. I am a one year survivor! Free at last Free at last, Thank God we are Free at last!

They better not call me racist for quoting him.

Moody, Bush did not send those birds into the plane. It had to be someone on the new Miracle team. After all, the plane crash got more attention than the presidents gracious speech.

Wouldn't it be great if the treatments than Cam had will mean great things for other women?

What a great day! I froze my buns off today, but who cares!

Slap slap Moody ... 

What are we wearing for Regurgitation Day?

Barack Obama told Fox News there wasn't enough black Americans on TV.  In response, Fox News has agreed to run "America's Most Wanted" 5 days a week. $$

Edited to add: 

Moody - thanks for showing your racist colors.  So f'ing funny of you.

Sherri,  Go read MY post.  I know you didn't name Amy, but you referred specifically to her post.  Quit playing innocent.  If you can't own up to and act, then you shouldn't do it.

Moody - I am appalled by your blatantly racist "jokes", and yes, they have been reported.

Oh and moody, I see you deleted your racist bull$hit post (another cowardly move, but not before I copied and pasted it to sent it to the mods. 

djd, I don't care what you copy and paste.  I may be blonde, but I am not stupid.....this is a PUBLIC thread, so if I am scared of someone copying and pasting, I wouldn't put something on a PUBLIC thread. 

Lighten up, take a chill pill and don't think everything is about you.

Now, here is the big question.  Why are you over here defending "Amy"?  Surely she is a big girl and can speak for herself.

*******

Sherri,  I can defend anyone I want to - why do you care?  It's really easy to talk tough on the boards, isn't it?  I am not defending one person - I am simply standing up to cowardly bullies and saying enough is enough.  I am disgusted by the bigoted statements from you.  Let the mods take over.  Let them ban me.  I don't care. 

good one moody!.  i still can't figure out why anyone would continue to read messages on a site they totally disagree with. the holy one will be president so why can't people be happy with that and stop bashing a good and gracious man.  a mature mind can grasp that although policy agreements are not always there, our president is a person who follows his convictions and doesn't make decisions based on polls and public opinion. our president has gone out of his way to ensure a smooth transition unlike the one he received when he took office. i would never post on that thread because i do not agree with most of what is said. so why do they insist on coming here and criticizing.  maybe it's my lack of education...i don't have a college degree much less a phd or something glorious like that.  but i do have common sense and a strong sense of what is right and wrong and continue to believe in letting others live their lives.  some horrible things have been said by the leader of the pack and that's ok but if ladies here respond, then they are evil. i for one will be on bc.org quite a bit on tuesday cause i sure in hell won't be in front of the tv, unless i am banned for not falling to my knees in adoration.  i like many others hope the new pres. is successful but i'm old enough to see what is going on and it's not change.  perhaps after tuesday, bush will be allowed to retire in peace and not be blamed for every thing wrong in the world.  i'm confident that history will judge george w. bush as one of our better presidents.

The number one question that a soldier gets asked when he returns from war, is "did you kill anyone".  It's a question that almost never will be answered by someone who was in combat.  The only time I ever did give a response was when a young policeman asked me how do you deal with yourself and God, if you have taken another's life.  I answered because I sensed he had a conflict in him about what to do if he ever had to draw his weapon.  I first asked him why he and the other officers referred to suspects as perps, gangbangers or slimeballs.  He said that is what all the older officers called them.  I told him in war we always used terms like gook, or slope or dink for the same reason older policemen used their terms.  If you depersonalize, or dehumanize a person, you are not aiming at a man, you are killing something less than human. 

That is why racism and all the words that demean another is so frightful.  If people are made less in the mind of one, then he can kill, harm, abuse without the filter of a conscience.  An abusive husband doesn't beat his wife while calling her name.  He hits while yelling bitch or whore or slut.  Words do matter.  It matters more that most of us will ever know. 

Calling someone like Moody or Sherri a Racist matters.  They do not have hate in their heart.  Just as an abusive Husband or father cannot voice their feelings without violence, one that cannot intellectually defend an ideology or idea, resorts to screaming Racist.
