The CR made an err in judgement not getting a Veteran’s Service Organization instead. Those are groups who staunchly defend the First Amendment.

Additionally they don’t have to worry about legality like the Army does.

Haven’t seen his socialist party membership card. Maybe Orly Taitz can come up w/it.

“Suppoters” was a typo, not a teabagger-style misspelling.

Sujay, you got to call a spade a spade. Of course obama is at least a socialist. Don’t be silly. Have you been drinking?

“supperters”?

Tom Mo – Charles typifies the other like-minded critics in red-baiting this issue by branding Obama and his supperters socialists, as he did in referring to California and NJ.

I’m not sure Post #35 can be classified as “hate speech”, but i know times are a changin’ and my “p.c.” style book is at least a year out of date.

To be fair, I sourced the post, so that anyone could follow the link and find out that its veracity, or authenticity, BUT I thought the message was valid and pertinent to the thread.

I’m hoping we can still make statements against socialism, either in parable or in a presentation case, without being labeled “haters”; but again, I recognize that times are changing.

I’ve been edited before, on this blog, and I’m guessing I’ll be edited again…

c’est la vie.

I understand your point, Lisa. It does amaze me how others still will want you to do your site from their perspective.

Also is amazing how some can’t differentiate no matter the source or content, the message is the same, whether a biblical story or a fairy tale.

Some will take the longer road and others speed right through the center.

Meghan-

Which is really harsh? My question, or her action??? I don’t defend Rogue, as a person, rather the point that he makes…

Lisa takes something SHE claims to be false, akin to a parable… so why not debunk, and decry those which rogue himself cited?????? I find his reference to Homer, Aesop, et al, to be quite enlightening, and broadening of the mind, if one would so allow.

Truly, how is it that we as a people of this global society, are so willing to accept that which we know not to be written by those listed above, yet we readily attack something just because it may be unpopular.

Hence, I cited the Bible. Not all are ready to believe in God, or that He and His disciples wrote the Word… And yet at the same time, many believe with no evidence…

Why not lay the same sort of broad latitude to that which Rogue wrote? He referenced people we do not know to have written ANYTHING………

Wow Henri, why so defensive of rogue? And such a harsh repsonse over something so trivial.

I still think its a great lesson

I could have deleted it, I instead used my ability to add an administrative note, so anyone who read the post would immediately know the material shared was not accurate. As to trying to create a biblical comparison? Those who believe, believe it is truth. That’s quite different from something that was known to be purposely fabricated and shared online in some pretty hateful places.

Freedom of speech does not apply to this blog, if that was the case, there would be no rules, nothing removed that was in violation of the rules and no editing at all.

Lisa, Lisa, Lisa….

Since when do you use something as ‘powerful’ as the admin note to merely comment on someone’s post? Here I reference #35… wow. Why not just post a separate comment? He really must have hit a nerve there, from one Catholic to another…

LisaRenee #55 Says:

“Count me in those who don’t find much value in fake tales designed to create a fake message. Truth wins out over fiction unless one is seeking pure entertainment.”

So you can be certain that the Bible is truth???? Really, I’m not certain beyond blind faith that there are any credible sources you can cite for that one….. Can you truly assure me that that is the truth? Or could it be a fake tale, as that that you claim Rogue to tell…
Let’s see what the truth really is here, Lisa. Freedom of speech. That’s the real thing here….
