Roy Mark en-us Roy, I think you do a great job at pointing out the liberal contradictions. BTW, I realize there are a few "conservative contradictions" too. Too bad liberal isn't such a good word any more, as historically it was a noble one. Anyway, I think you might be off the "mark" on Mike believing in the inerrancy of the Democratic Party. I do believe that Mike would admit errors of the party, if he saw them as errors. He does admit he's wrong here, without being prodded. I've seen it, and humility great virtue in today's world.  I would think that would carry over to admiting that one's party is wrong as well.  Perhaps he's done this and you haven't seen it. Anyway, have a good day.   http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/marksremarks/7251/#c_46793 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/marksremarks/7251/#c_46793 Roy, I think you do a great job at pointing out the liberal contradictions.

Anyway, have a good day.   Mike has never claimed to be open-minded, in point of fact he is proudly closed-minded and well tell that to any and everyone.   It was right after he posted as much in an open forum and I made my opinion known that if he is so closed minded, then his arguments are automatically irrelevant. and that all he can do is attack any who would disagree with his closed-minded view. furthermore I predicted that he would call me a closed-minded right winger and attack me for making my opinion known. And surprise surprise that is exactly what he did. went on the attack told me I was butting in on and open forum mind you. and yes, he called me a closed minded right winger. Maryann I saw Mike over on your blog and I sooo wanted to say something but out of respect for you I did not. I am sure I am one of the 3 that Mike calls trolls. and blocks . I have never been and nor will I ever troll. I do as you wanted to do with your latest blog. and that is to intelligently debate Obama. Intelligent debate and Liberal are oxymoron's. they don't go together it seems.  I also noted that Mike never once did anything as your blog wanted. a debate from Dems over Obama. All Mike could do was espouse on "trolls" etc.. and about he deletes certain people posts. Basically he will delete anyone he can and anyone means anyone who will not agree to his view of things. That is the pure definition of closed-mindedness that Mike loves. I bet if Mike DID have the power of advocate moderator over the open forums this site would be so lively you could hear crickets chirping Funny. Mike and others claim to want intelligent debate yet when anyone dose debate them. they start makign personal attacks, calling us names, attacking our credibility, MMKO just called everyone who disagrees with Obama for Pres, a child.  Whenever I have tried to engage them in intelligent dfebate over the facts I have been accused of attacking them and then they turn around and attack me. go figure.   http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/marksremarks/7251/#c_46805 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/marksremarks/7251/#c_46805 Mike has never claimed to be open-minded, in point of fact he is proudly closed-minded and well tell that to any and everyone.   It was right after he posted as much in an open forum and I made my opinion known that if he is so closed minded, then his arguments are automatically irrelevant. and that all he can do is attack any who would disagree with his closed-minded view. furthermore I predicted that he would call me a closed-minded right winger and attack me for making my opinion known.

Guess I need to read a little bit. I can see where deleting some posts is sometimes needed. I can imagine being harrassed by a.... anti-Catholic, Czech-hating, whatever. I think that option should be available. BUT, and this is a big but.... I think that if someone is discussing issues and not doing so with name-calling, hate-mongering, etc. then let the facts, logic, the good debate roll.  The problem is that one person's defensive nature might see discussing facts as dangerous. I don't think we should ever be afraid of facts, even when they hurt us. There's got to be an explanation or a changing of ways to amend the things that are wrong. That's why I think Mike will debate on facts. One thing I try not to do is shut someone out permanently here., as in not giving them a second chance. We all have a touch of the schmuck in us. certainly yours truly  I always hope there is room for improvement and change.

Thanks for hosting a discussion, even it if gets a bit raucus. On YOUR SPACE!!? GET REAL posted by mike in his read only do not comment blog Ever notice it's only the right-wingers that want to trespass into someone's space to dump what they perceived to be a legitimate open-minded opinion. I haven't noticed that but I have definitely noticed that only  LW bloggers on here have proclaimed that they will tolerate no comments contrary to their beliefs. Any and all will be immediately deleted. What is mike talking about when he writes "trespass into someone's space" ? When did the space on here get to be anyone's "space"Along with other LW posters on here mike writes as if he thinks he OWNS the space that the Advocate provides for all to use    Old story on here from the Liberal Democrats  "If the message can't be disputed attack the messenger."  mike doesn't write like an IVY leaguer (LOL LOLat the very idea) but he sure expresses  arrogant elitist's view on what he percieves the rules to be on here UNLIKE THE  CRITICS MY BLOG IS OPEN TO ANY AND ALL COMMENTS mike also posted  Fox’s viewers have voted, 88% for Republicans.  What is the country's view of the Democrat controlled congress. mike does not say where this info came from but Pew Research did a survey that showed that listeners to Limbaugh O'Reilly were among the best informed people    in the country So that may be the reason so many vote Republican. Message from the past Mike had this to say April 28, 2006 - Posted at 11:55 am People that get the bulk of their news from Bill O'Reilly,Sean Hannity & Fox News continue to live in the past and recycle the same laundry list to support whatever the believe.   And then the Pew Research did this survey and I quote " Well-informed audiences come from cable (Daily Show/Colbert Report, O'Reilly Factor), the internet (especially major newspaper websites), broadcast TV (NewsHour with Jim Lehrer) and radio (NPR, Rush Limbaugh's program). The less informed audiences also frequent a mix of formats: broadcast television (network morning news shows, local news),  My advice.

Matter of fact, I think he’s rather spot on describing me because I’m one PO’ed Christian who owns guns—nice guns and very many guns. And, yes, I’m rather clingy with them. I’m not alone either, as there are millions of other brothers, from other mothers, who really, really are endeared to our God-given right to self defense and firearm fun. Can I hear a big amen, my brothers? Yes, Barack, you may rightly call millions of us men “clingy” because the truth is, when the workday is done, boys just wanna have guns: guns to hunt with, guns to look at, guns for personal defense and a few zany lead spewers should al-Qaeda, or the anti-Christ, or any foreign or domestic threat, or Godzilla ever attack America, we, the clingy ones, will be ready to rock in a hard place, guaranteed. Here are eight factoids I found that also cause backwards little old me to clutch my wood and metal friend called the gun: 1. In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. 2. In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. 3. Germany established gun control in 1938, and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated. 4. China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated 5. Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. 6. Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. 7. Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. 8. Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million. As the old adage goes: “With guns, we are citizens. Without them, we are subjects.” Therefore, I’ll cling to my gun because I really enjoy being a free bird and truly hate kissing someone else’s backside, but that’s just me. So, Barack, since you threw that supposed insult at me and millions of other gun-needy Americans, I am going to react by doing the five following things: 1. I am going to walk up to my gun cabinet and hug and kiss all of my rifles and shotguns and tell them they are really good guns no matter what any far-left liberal lug nut says about them. 2. Since I just finished my new book, How to Keep Thugs and Bad Boys Away from Daddy’s Little Girl (Thomas Nelson, December 2008), I need a break. Let’s see, what can I do? I know, I just got a custom Ruger #1 elephant gun in 450/400 Nitro Express. I think I’ll go out and celebrate with it in the South Florida swamps next weekend. Clingy me is going to baptize it in wild boar blood as a sort of a cordite warm-up pitch before I go bear hunting in Maine this summer, aoudad and mountain lion hunting in West Texas this fall, and Cape Buffalo hunting in Africa the summer of ‘09. I’m so clingy! 3. I’m going to buy the new Ruger .380 LCP for my lady because she, too, is also kinda clingy. 4. I’m going to cling more to God and Christ than I ever have before. 5. I’m going to vote for John McCain." Doug Giles’ new book “A Time to Clash: Papers from a Provocative Pastor” is now available.

WE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND BARACK IS A RICH LIBERAL ELITIST DEMOCRAT You don't want us to judge Obama's worthiness to be POTUS by: Obama supporters and apologists. 1) His associations. 2) His wife. 3) Radicals who are attracted to him. 4) What he says because he didn't mean what he said. 5) The fact that he has never done anything but vote present on difficult issues. 6) He doesn't like difficult issues to be asked of him in a debate. 7) He thinks his grandmother acts like a "typical white person" whatever that is. 8) He thinks white people in 'middle America' are bitter and hold onto God and guns to survive. 9) He chose a 'Mentor' who guided him and married he and his wife, baptized his children but has no idea what the Mentor believed. 10) Went to the 'million man march' but had no idea that Farrakhan was anti-semitic or had been on the 'mother wheel' and talked to aliens. 11) Didn't know that James Cone and black liberation theology was the basis of Mentor Wrights' theology. 12) Thinks having a child is a 'penalty'. If someone was considering voting for Obama what would you supporters say is a good reason. Because he is a black (Mulatto actually) and surely talks a good stick?
