I can't tell if he's running as a friggin joke or if he's in it to muddy the waters totally for the Republicans. He is a piece of work, a true A-hole!!
Paul, I am no fan of Trump, but he
Stalker, I am no fan of Trump and this was a huge mistake. However, you must be very concerned that that incompetent, 155 lb. weaking, sad excuse of a president, has not spoken publically about the muslim shooting and murder of four marines last week in Chattanooga. The flag is not at half mast and the parents have not even been contacted. Yet, he was heavily involved in the Michael Brown, MIT professor, and Travon Martin incidents. What a shame. He is a small man indeed.
The point of my post was to get people to focus on what is really important and not be influenced by the fact that the media focused on Trump's comments rather than the lack of respect to the military by the 155 lb. weakling president. Trump's comments were awful. He is a guy who is running for office. The guy (if you want to stretch and call him that) who is in office either is too stupid to know that the flag should be lowered to half mast, or just doesn't care. Whatever the reason for the lack of action, you can decide, but I think one story is bigger than another. But leave it for people to be influenced by the media without even being aware of it.
Is that really your take on my post? I can say it too: wow Stalker. I think I made it pretty clear that it was about prioritization of events, but I guess it didn't get through. Is Trump's dissing of McCain really more important and more impactful to the citizens of this country than the things that I mentioned obama and the liberals are doing? Not telling you what to post on, just questioning why you would post on this issue when so many more important things are happening. The answer to the question is most likely media influence.
Sammy, your post and those of the other guy demonstrate why we are in the shape we are in today. People just don't want to focus on the issues and want to focus on the trivial or less important issues. And I have done just fine under obama, in spite of obama. My complaints are related to how his policies are affecting and are going to affect people down the road, similar to the Clinton Housing Bubble; things were fine when he left office, but the housing policy was extremely flawed. If you want to ignore these issues, that is fine. The "head in the sand" approach has never really had a good record, though!
So, we need to establish the Sammy/Stalker rule that would state that once a post is started, the topic must not be changed, under any circumstances. All subsequent posts under that thread must focus on that topic, no matter how trivial the original post might be, and no matter what else is going on.
Sure, thread topics change and evolve over time. But we need to give consideration to enacting the Sammy/Stalker rule. It's all about control. A guy who starts a thread apparently can dictate the all subsequent posters stick strictly to the topic! Crazy stuff.
