Memorial Day and people

Posted: May 30, 2012

With Memorial Day having just passed it brought to mind why our service men and women are fighting. To preserve our freedoms and that includes freedom of speech and the freedoms to believe what we want. Nobody should be cutting down anyone else because they don't believe a certain way (that is the way they believe). Sometimes I am gone for days, sometimes work and family keeps gives me little time to come. These past few days or a week or so of posts here on the board have been especially bad. One of them had to be so bad that the moderator had to edit it.

People should be allowed to believe what they want and post what they want. If someone doesn't believe the same thing why can't the posts be civilized. If someone wants to see a bc on a candidate so what. if you don't believe the same thing, again so what. One persons opinion is no more important the the other ones opinion. Some people don't believe a document created in photoshop is real and others do. It doesn't really matter what others believe. That should be no reason to come on and call others names no matter what side you affiliate with.

Our brave fighting men and women put their lives on the line so that we have freedom to believe what we do. I just think people dishonor everything they put their lives on the line for when they decide to call other posters terrible names and insults because they don't believe what they do and they feel they are right and the other is wrong. My mama taught me many times that I am not always right. My father taught me there is never anything wrong with being wrong, but not admitting it is.

I just hope the insults can stop. Nobody should be calling others racists, or un-American just because others don't believe what they do. Our brave and fighting military would be ashamed of anyone calling another citizen un-American. Especially for the reason they are (because they have a different opinion).

And that is just my thoughts since we have just honored our service men and women on Memorial Day.

I have very similar circumstances to yours (shift work, home), and I am always amazed when I sign back into this site to see such hatred towards those that do not share similar opinions. There is no tolerance whatsoever, which is sad. Anyone can listen to someone else politely and continue to have their own differing opinion. The fact of the matter is, no person is perfect, and that includes Obama. He is a very flawed human being as is everyone else. To treat Obama as if he is perfect manifests a fragile mind that seems incapable of comprehending Obama's shortcomings, of which there are many, as there are with any human. I saw someone below that wrote about how people wanted to make Obama a 1-termer. Well guess what, the opposing party ALWAYS make that their agenda when they are not in office, and Democrats have also done this repeatedly (that was OPs sole purpose for voting for Obama). Not one thought was given to Obama's failed policy, Obama's divisiveness, Obama's inexperience and inadequacies, Obama's incompetent staff and cabinet, Obanma's lack of understanding of economics, which are costing us dearly as a nation. The only reason for voting for Obama was because the other side wanted him to be a 1-termer...no thought to politics/policy there. A lot would be accomplished if posters actually read BOTH sides of an issues and made informed choices and cut down on the insulting.

So you have no problem with Republicans voting down things that were first proposed by THEM? You have no problem with Republicans throwing up filibusters on things that would help people who are struggling in this country because it would make Obama look good? Divisiveness? We have a GOP candidate who says yeah I will buddy up with the Birthers cause I need their votes...Okey Dokey Mr. Etch-A-Sketch. Love that integrity ROFLMAO!! Y

He wants to make sure that the "birthers" do come - out and vote and vote for him. nm

Says YOU is a complete lie regarding my post - Conservative

My post stated none of what you claimed it stated. You list assumptions that appear no where in my post. The point is that no human is perfect, and your post shores up that position.

President Herbert Hoover conducted the first national Memorial Day ceremony in Arlington National Cemetery, on May 30, 1929. Every since our presidents have gone to Arlington National Cemetery in remembrance of those who gave all for our freedom. However, our current president is not going to Arlington. Instead the vice president will be going to Arlington while Obama goes home to Chicago. Our president gives a speech telling us that Memorial Day is more than BBQs and spe ...

We ride with an American flag on our bike It waves on our Gold Wing behind us Knowing our soldiers are fighting a war In lands full of desert and dust Our hearts are heavy losing a loved one so dear Leaving behind two children and a wife He gave his country the ultimate gift For our freedom he gave up his life I look at the flag now and know what it means To have this freedom we share No longer taking it for granted And knowing that war isn't fair So when ...

If you haven't heard yet, the White House (obama) refused access to the World War II veterans until they finally had to tear down the fence themselves just to get in there.

So I am going to pick up my son and his friend from football camp and he says to wait that there is a lady that wants to talk to me. So along comes this lady who just reeks of money asking me if it was okay for her to take my son's friend with her and her grandson (my son is NOT invited) to the country club swimming and could I call his mother. I told her I did not have my phone, but the friend could call his mom and ask. She then proceeds to ask me to wait ...

My husband had a job interview on Friday. The HR lady said she would call him on Monday to set up his final interview. It is wednesday... has she called, no! She gave my hubby her card so he emailed her Monday night to thank her for the interview on Friday and to let her know he would like to schedule the final interview, but nothing... no email, no phone call, nothing! Its just so frustrating because he has been out of work for so long, and this would be a good job and everyth ...

seem to hate those who have been fortunate enough to inherit their wealth? Is it jealousy? What? I don't get it. If I were rich, I'd want my kids to share in my success. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. So why do so many people have a problem with that? ...

In June I posted about volunteering at my local animal shelter, working in the cat condos. I am continuing to volunteer, and for the most part I really enjoy it. I also help to stock the refrigerator in the gift shop, pick up donations for the shelter that are donated by local businesses, etc. Here's my problem. So far I have received three cat bites. The last one occurred Thursday afternoon in the presence of my friend, who was in the condo with me. Th ...

These are the same average, ordinary voters that elected President Obama TWICE, and will elect Bernie Sanders. Sen. Sanders has more contributions at the same time as President Obama at similar point in campaign. And rather than benefit from million-dollar contributions through a “super PAC,” Mr. Sanders — who has called such fund-raising groups corrupt — has amassed a million online donations over the past five months, faster than Barack Obama did in his first, digitally groundb ...

I need a serious opinion. We have friends who have 2 cats, full-breed, who they have had daily bonding with for a good 2 years. Said friends are going on a 3-month trip out of the country and are boarding the cats here in the states. The one cat (before owners have even left) is showing signs of something isn't right--getting out of the house and not duly returning home, peeing smack dab on top of the bed.). These cats are brother and sister, and will be somewh ...

I went to lunch today for a change in scenery. I had a cold bay shrimp salad with a butter herb vinegrette dressing and a passion fruit tea. It was nice on the patio today, warm with a slight breeze and I was happily munching away when all of the sudden I started to CHOKE! I mean for real, gagging, retching choking! As if that wasn't bad (and embarrassing) enough, NO ONE WOULD HELP ME! It seemed as if a whole 2 minutes went by until I ran from the patio into t ...

In Houstin, TX, we have a conservative group doing a "True the Vote" thing where they are there to make sure there is no fraud going on. As a conservative....this is just asking for trouble in my opinion. How can you detect fraud from standing outside? I guess unless you visibly watch every person that goes in to make sure the same person isn't going in....but seriously....how dumb. Now you have the New Black Panther Party retaliating and saying they will be there to ...

Ya'll ever noticed how young and beautiful all the people in beer commercials and alcohol commercials seem to be?

I rarely if ever ask anyone for favors except my husband, but as far as out of my household I don't. My husband's brother doesn't mind asking a favor and neither does his wife. We recently did them a big favor; however, when we asked for one in return, never got an answer. So I was like okay they can ask but they can't give. We actually loaned them my husband's pickup while they are short a vehicle because my hubbie rarely is here to drive the pic ...

will lose their health insurance with Obama care. See how that works? The ones with jobs lose theirs, have to go on the crap plans. But the ones with 7 or 8 kids and 7 or 8 baby daddies are happy to get the crap care. Remember the lie, "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor", or "if you like the plan you're on, you can keep it."

Why do conservatives HATE the constitution?!?!
