Everyone one of us on both sides have said things we shouldn't have....i've said some pretty stupid things at times, then i think of it later and usually will apologize for it (like i did with California Girl in another thread). There's times i read something that, to me, is so obsurd that i "type" before i think!

None of us are going to agree all the time, or even half of the time, but both sides have some very good arguements for each side.
It's very hard for me to understand the left when some say Obama has done such a great job. And yes, i'll admit, it's not ALL his fault. Just like it isn't ALL Bush's fault either, but many won't admit to that. Right now i'm pissed at both sides....why can't they agree on something? What games are they playing with us?
I argue against the OWS protestors...NOT because i think they don't have the right to do this, but because now there are so many "infiltrators" in their bunch that are making them ALL look bad, they need to temporarily stop the protests, get the bums out of their midst and then put it together again and be more organized. I'm sure there are some that really do know why they're there, but with all the freeloaders that have joined them, nobody can tell the difference and it just all looks bad. Obama said he understands why they're doing this, but he's said NOTHING else about it since then and the wacko's that have joined the protest take it as they can do whatever they want now because Obama says it's ok! I don't see this having a good ending for anyone.
My other big problem is with BOTH the left and right when anyone posts links to prove a point. Just because it's a left or right MSM site, someone (and i've done it too!) will not read the link because "it's a right hack site" or "it's a left hack site" and we just aren't going to believe it! Do ALL media sites lie over EVERYTHING? I don't think so....we need to start using our brains and not just our emotions.
Ok..rant over...and i just want to say, even though i know you weren't talking to me either Marc, thank you for what you said. I agree...both the right and left have their "hacks", and if i've ever come across as one i apologize for any time i "typed" before thinking
