Besides, the focus of my blog isn't politics, except here and there and then mostly from an anthropological perspective, so there aren't any links denouncing any damn body, except for the two people who stood outside my Post Office two days ago and put a Hitler mustache on the sitting President of my country. <br /><br />A great deal of my anger was aimed specifically at the Hitler imagery, not necessarily that people are often less respectful of people than they should be - although that pisses me off too.<br /><br />I'm sorry if I haven't proven my objectivity to your satisfaction.craftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12092073053793715234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831516808434643835.post-29525352118292448622012-02-11T00:37:18.952-05:002012-02-11T00:37:18.952-05:00Please link to the post(s) you have made that defe...Please link to the post(s) you have made that defend Sarah Palin against the disgusting, vitriolic posts made by people on the left side of the spectrum over the last five years so that I can judge your objectivity as I would love to agree with your concerns.<br /><br />I look forward to the links.<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />Michaelmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110142039434282559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831516808434643835.post-77554069898242831542012-02-10T17:56:36.173-05:002012-02-10T17:56:36.173-05:00Hey there Goondingy - welcome to the site.

To answer your question, I like President Obama for the same reason that (I think) I'd like Governor Romney: despite my personal beliefs specifically, in the big picture I believe the nation is served best when run by centrists and pragmatists, as opposed to ideologues, from either side of the political spectrum. Unfortunately, usually ideologues are good at winning primaries, so what's shaping up to be a field of two relative centrists is a rare treat.<br /><br />Anyway, welcome aboard.craftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12092073053793715234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831516808434643835.post-33320623961098672142012-02-10T17:44:36.515-05:002012-02-10T17:44:36.515-05:00I just want to know why Obama should continue to b...I just want to know why Obama should continue to be in the white house, in your opinion?<br />Around the lunchboxes that were parading around with Obama posters with Hitler mustaches...BOO! <br />Happy that you gave them a piece of your mind! <br />My sign would have been more respectful.Goondingyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13913974840063321858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831516808434643835.post-43898323204676469532012-02-10T14:20:38.624-05:002012-02-10T14:20:38.624-05:00Thought he was Libertarian, actually.

I'm fiscally conservative and socially moderate. I may not have had as strong a reaction to those protesters as you did, but I definitely would have told them that I didn't appreciate the imagery they were using to try to get their point across.<br /><br />I personally hate election time.

And yes, there are a lot of images of President Bush out there that are just as icky as what I saw. But they didn't show up at MY post office, nor did I have a hand in their making. I cannot be answerable for those who choose to be disrespectful of the office, just because they happen to vote the way I do. <br /><br />My whole point is that this is an issue that transcends personal politics.craftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12092073053793715234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831516808434643835.post-7023015910834648762012-02-09T21:35:37.290-05:002012-02-09T21:35:37.290-05:00"How offended would you be to see the Preside..."How offended would you be to see the President of your country, even though you didn't vote for him, being compared to Hitler?"<br /><br />I guess I would be pretty safe in saying that you did not vote for George W. Bush. Google "George Bush Hitler." You can be sure the conservatives and republicans didn't make and post those images.<br /><br />My biased opinion is that the scariest people in this country are the far right AND the far left. I cannot belive the hate I see posted on facebook and other social media by extremists on both sides.lightning36https://www.blogger.com/profile/05641629003610446976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831516808434643835.post-22981576053096221012012-02-09T16:50:02.749-05:002012-02-09T16:50:02.749-05:00What do you expect from followers of Lyndon LaRouc...What do you expect from followers of Lyndon LaRouche?
