Boston Bombing

[stanc]

Reading this string of posts reminds me of arguments I've had with my ex-wife. Her logic also stank. Without going through a couple of hours of research to take this apart point by point, you'll forgive me if I just choose to ignore the cherry picking recitation and address your single salient point.

My forgiveness is unnecessary. You are free to address -- or not address -- any points you wish.

Yes, the American way of life has always been in flux. We happened upon the world at the right time for it-- when the pace of life began changing in increments of years or decades rather than centuries. And I'm sure that everybody fought to maintain their own, no doubt treasured ways of life.

Okay, since you agree with my main points, why are you objecting to my posts?:confused:

Perhaps you might exert yourself to understand why we might also.

I don't need to "exert" myself. I stated in preceding posts that I understand, and even empathize with, your desires. Did you miss that, or do you just suffer from poor English comprehension?

Also, while I'm certainly interested to have you liken the way of life we would like to see continue to the desire for the continuation of slavery, I have to wonder at your alcohol intake prior to making that comparison. A healthy dollop of relativism in the ol' cognac, eh? You'll perhaps forgive me if I call you out on that.

Were the Southerners not Americans? Wasn't slavery a vital part of their way of life? Did they not desire to continue their way of life at least as intensely as you want to continue yours?* Jeez, use some of that "superior" logic you apparently think you have.

*More intensely, actually. They went to war in an attempt to preserve their version of "the American way of life." Today, even the most strident Obama-haters lack the cojones to take up arms against the guvmint.

BHO has a plan. He wrote about it. Much like Hitler, he told us just what he planned to do well before he set out to do it, and we scoffed, thinking he couldn't possibly mean it.

I, for one, don't like BHO's plan. I don't like the way he's going about implementing it. I don't like the way he's trampling everything I hold dear in his dash to accomplish his goals. And I don't like the idea that he and his ilk have managed to so skew the system that we're unlikely to ever peacefully set it right. We need to start facing the fact that he's got the biggest soapbox and he's corrupted the ballot box.

You, like a few others here, are long on vague complaints about what Obama is doing, but woefully lacking in specifics. But, no matter. The main thing I take from the above two paragraphs is that you see little likelihood of preventing the change(s) to which you object, which means we agree on another point.
