What I can say is that while I agree with you on some posts and points, I'm getting more and more brain cramps the more I read them.
I would recommend to you that in order to get more points by people that may agree with you or at least to get people to consider your points, that you take your foot off the throttle a bit. You being a former Marine (I'm told there is no such thing as an "Ex-Marine") probably understand all too well what happens when the comm nets are jammed with everyone screaming at once. Right now, I can't hear you. Too much noise and not enough signal. S/N ratio is way too high.
I'm not saying this as JohnR, Chief Cook & Bottle Washer @ S-B. I'm saying this as JohnR, someone that want to see healthy and fairly civilized debate.

Duly noted.
How is this...
(1) Paul Ryan submitted a proposed budget with big spending cuts, and obviously his plan is consistent with conservative principles, which many will not like.
(2) Obama responded by saying that the proposed budget would have disabled kids fending for themselves.
(3) Nowhere in Ryan's budget does it say anything of the sort.
(4) Given (2) and (3), I claim that Obama is making baseless, allegations, ones that are designed to make the GOP look heartless. This is ironic to me, since many studies show that conservatives give much more time and money to charity than liberals (see the definitive book/study on the issue called "Who Really Cares").
(5) I don't ever recall George Bush demonizing his political opposition like that. He may have done it, but I don't recall it.
(6) Since Obama proclaimed to be the only one in the 2008 election who could bring our country together, I don't see why he then paints Republicans as the folks who don't care about disabled kids. Either Obama genuinely believes that, or he is a liar. There is no other alternative, is there.
(7) i find it particularly troubling that Obama is painting Republicans as not caring about kids. Since Obama is the most rabid pro-abortion president we have ever had (he literally supported infanticide as a state senator), I find it interesting (for lack of a better word) that he would claim that his party has the moral high ground on the issue of who cares most about kids.
If I was an unborn baby with Downs, and I could choose between being put in Michelle Obama's womb or the womb of Paul Ryan's wife, I'm pretty confident that I'd know which path would lead to a chance at a happy life, and which path would end up with my getting butchered.
I'll try John, I will.
