The Democrats Gloat Thread

And just when you think it's impossible for the Democrats to sink any lower....well, they sink lower.




Sure. LOL.

Yes, the Washington Post published that on Thursday.

Awww .... diddums, you poor dearie.


(Just practicing the new word I've learned. Did I use it correctly?)

It would be bizarre if I were a proponent of xenophobic immigration policies and uncaring of poorer people who want a chance to better their lives.

Do you know what my immigration preferences are? Right wing? I think you could hardly call me right wing honestly.

I think there is a chance your immigration preferences are to MY right.

Again-- as dlowans own rhetoric shows amply--she is the only one throwing a temper tantrum, calling names and cramming her head in the sand over Australia's atrocities. We have all heard ad nauseum of the US' shortcomings. Just don't want other countries to feel left out.

Like dlowan said--the truth sets us free.

And, I am all about freeing people.

If I can take my truth, have a generous helping of your own. And, try to do it without losing your mental stability. No matter how many times you have a mental meldown, and call me names--and then say I'm the one who's angry--LOL!!--do be aware the evidence is here on the thread.

What the hell. I was just over at the 'Bush supporters' thread looking for one of you people to bug the s**t out of and your all over here at the democrats threads.Not only do we not communicate, We can't even find eachother.Were screwed

Thomas--

I found your remarks to be one-sided. This post is what led me to share information about Australia's dismal immigration policies. Their practice of jailing Asian immigrants and actively seeking to bar their entrance into the country was and is no picnic--and is worthy of mention. When one speaks self-righteously against another's shortcomings, they should be prepared with perfection--or to hear a similar litany of their shortcomings.

Australia has stepped toward success on the necks of a few groups of people as well.

I'm not in a competition to see who has the most foul past--but I won't silently countenance such self-righteousness from her--or anyone.

Republicans have isolated America from the world and now there in the process of isolating themselves from their own country they should take a history lesson.

I seldom agree with you, Lash, but bashing Bush-poodles like the Australian government ... I'm with you

There's enough disgust o go around, Walter. I don't mind that you get a snicker from my remarks re Down Under. But, don't puff up, or I'll produce a related segment on your neck of the woods.

Who is innocent?

Incidentally, Bush's immigration policies are MUCH kinder and more humane than those Oz squats over, attempting to hide.

And just what has all this to do with gloating Democrats ?

The main connection is that the Democrats were spamming the "Bush Supporters" thread--where I wanted to enjoy conversation with buds.

It was like a Ghost Town over here, so I have taken up residence.

I think this is related somehow to what goes around.

You can start anything re immigration to Germany - preach to the choir :wink:

I think you know the era I'd reference, since we're all pulling out the kitchen sink eras of the US. But, truthfully, I think Germany has heard enough.

I used to like Mary Landreau--but she must have drank the water in NO. She's flipped her lid. With the torrent of criticism going TO Bush FROM liberals--she acts as though HE's criticising THEM???

Mary Mary Quite Contrary to Facts...

In part, she said:

Sen. Mary Landrieu (news, bio, voting record), D-La., said officials at all levels eventually would share blame for an inadequate response, but she cited only the administration for the finger-pointing that followed the killer storm.
"While the president is saying that he wants to work together as a team, I think the White House operatives have a full court press on to blame state and local officials whether they're Republicans or Democrats. It's very unfortunate," she told CBS' "Face the Nation."

She said Washington was obligated to support local and state officials, "particularly in times of tragedy and stress, not to pile on them, not to make their suffering worse."

She's talking about the wrong people. Somebody tell her who's piling on!!

You did ok for a rightie.
:wink:

Heehee Lash's behaviour deserved a slap, and I was in the mood to give it to her....

Now, sadly, I am back at work, and the task will fall to others...

It's always fun watching the reaction, though.

Dlowan's snivelling self-righteousness was ridiculous and I was in the mood to slime her with her own garbage. Heehee!!!

What a pompous, denialist caricature!

As if. She's on the wrong side of her desk. LOL!!!!!!

And, it must be a lie that you work at all. No one could spend so much time yakking online and get any work done. I wonder if the people who pay you--the state is it?? know how much time you steal from them.

Lashie poohs, when you manage to address real issues, which you sometimes do touch on in your tantrums, we have always been happy to have them addressed. It is when you make nonsensical claims in your temper that you get ridiculed.

The no blacks in Oz is a classic of that genre.

I also think your comments on current immigration policy over wrought. I am happy for you to criticise mandatory detention and other aspects of the handling of illegal immigrants, though I wish you would take up invitations to do more than squawk about it. As Isaid, I think you have no skerrick of actual concern, but hey, mebbe someone with more integrity in these matters will read your comments, and come to the threads which deal with the matters, and actually take some very simple action.....such as emailing the relevant government ministers.

Criticism of past immigration is also very reasonable, and you will get no objection from an Ozzian here, unless we have any right wing nuts amongst us.

It is interesting that these outbursts of yours often occur when CURRENT American policy affecting the whole world is made. I also think that, generally speaking, criticism of past American policies is made when either Americans hold the US up to be almost faultless, or when they propose drastic action against other countries based on actions the US has often, itself, committed or helped to engineer ...like heavy involvement in interfering with who governs another country and assassination of leaders. That is one of the reasons your comment in this thread re nobody but Americans having a say in who governs you, while factually correct, is so blackly laughable in the face of American history in these matters, and very annoying because of its hypocrisy.

Yours, and other's, normal response to this is to say "Oh, but that is in the PAST!" It is always then interesting to watch you attempt to annoy others by commenting on past actions of their countries.

Shrugs..

Personally, I have no problem with that, when you are accurate. We need to face our pasts, though you seem signally unhappy to do so.

For instance, I think, though you referred, to Walter's signal lack of annoyance, to Germany's Nazi past, I would be surprised if you did not get steamed up if I then mentioned America's extensive sympathies for Nazi Germany, at the same time (epitomised by the "hero", Lindbergh) or lynching and mob murder of American blacks in the same eriod, as well as segregation and extensive economic exploitation?

Such was almost accepted at the time, raising equal rights movements in many countries other than the US....(including one in my own, modelled extensively on the work of Martin Luther King Junior and Gandhi before him).

These are darknesses we all share, especially we countries based on the killing and dispossession of the native ingabitants.

I have no cavil with all of us facing our darknesses.


But, I do and will call you when you speak nonsense in your fits, and for the extreme abuse you often use. That is the acid I refer to. That is a pretty tame name to use for what you do, and one which would pass for a compliment in the abuse you hurl at so many people.

Sometimes you need to be called on what you do, and I occasionally join those who do the calling.

Lol. A little education for you.

In other countries, believe it or not, it is a different time.

Imagine!


Here, it is 7.30 am.

And, sadly, I do need to go to work now, and leave you to your merry frolic.


Have a nice day!
