FiredMotorCompany Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) The irony of the "Bush did it" deflection is that Obama supporters are implying that Bush is the benchmark for comparison. It is good to know that they regard Bush so highly, but disappointing that they set the bar so low. Wouldn't it be refreshing to hear an Obamanite say "It was wrong when Clinton did it, when Bush did it, and it is wrong when Obama does it." The point I have tried to make for quite a while. Don't expect to EVER hear our local Obama-ite say that. He supports the system of "If Bush did it, it was wrong.....until Obama did it.......even more." But, he WILL interpret this as Pro-Bush cheer leading. Edited November 6, 2013 by FiredMotorCompany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the parallels when someone questions religion, they get the same lame excuses as when someone questions an anointed socialist prophet. Once you become devoted to a deity, you would rather give up your life than admit that He is imperfect. It is mind control. They need to get help. It is called "de-programming". Stop drinking the Kool-Aid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackHorse Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Your arguments are so much more compelling because you act better than others... Not. If you did not notice i was referencing the point made in the meme i posted. And if i was an intellectual I would not be here on the ass end of the Blue oval forums, that's for f*** sure. Fired is not acting better than you Langston. He is in fact just better than you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langston Hughes Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) Wow, Langston called somebody a racist. Didn't see that coming. Didn't call anyone a liar. You can't read obviously.

Langston Hughes Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 And we see you are still here. Ipso facto. Therefore, it is evident, by that logic, I have over-estimated your qualifications. That may explain why you have not seen the preponderance of evidence, as presented against your positions, as documenting your erroneous assumptions. Perhaps we should quit picking on you since you are not up to the task....by your own words. I see that it went right over your head. Perhaps you should realize that there's no intellectuals here, so there's nothing to attract intellectuals. It is the ass end of blue oval forums and it is filled with shit, yours and mine.

FiredMotorCompany Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 LOL. Just bouncing between to quotes and switched themes is all. So "LOL" supersedes "I was wrong. I mis-spoke."? Not really. Coming from someone who has openly admitted my mistakes, I take the heat for my statements....and APOLOGIZE for my errors. You have benefited from my mia culpas. Try them sometime. A little humility can be healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next step for a man of character would be a sincere apology, not just shrugging it off. IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napfirst Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Nah, I'm good thank you for the concern. Take a look around....you're the Lone Ranger on here.....your fellow liberals are suspiciously absent of late.....if you check, most of them come in the forum from time to time but rarely comment......posters like Parts, GaryG are smart enough to know when to lay low and not embarrass themselves by defending obama's failures....stick around, you make it so easy!

Gary was a plant that's why the conspicuous absence. Parts has been missing for awhile now. Thanks for sharing your theories.

Langston Hughes Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 For your consideration and dissection. Detroit doesn't have tough gun laws. They are in a shall issue state and do not have any major individual restrictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langston Hughes Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 So i looked up this stat and here's what i got. 2012 the US had 14,827 murders which put them 9th on total murder list as it's reported. (some countries could and do lie) Chicago had 500 murders Detroit had 411 murders Washington DC. had 82 murders New Orleans had 193 murders For a grand total of 1186, which means the new total minus this amount is 13,641 which moves the US down 3 spots to 12th, just in front of China, which I figure lies. http://articles.latimes.com/2013/jan/01/nation/la-na-nn-washington-dc-2012-homicides-20130101 http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2012/12/murders_in_new_orleans_were_sl.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/03/detroit-murders-2012-bing_n_2402372.html *(Note that 38 were considered justifiable homicides by police) http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2012-12-28/news/chi-chicago-2012-homicide-toll-20121228_1_latest-homicide-500th-homicide-tragic-number http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate As for gun control laws, both Detroit and New Orleans are not that strict. Take this pro-gun editorial about New Orleans written this year. http://www.tulanehullabaloo.com/views/gun-control-restrictions-do-not-deter-criminals-1.3068134#.Un6HS_lJM1I Nonetheless, people often blame New Orleans’ relaxed gun control laws for the city’s high percentage of violent crimes .
