Netanyahu's Speech (Special guest appearances by "Beast, Sissy Pants and Con Scum?")
Posted: Mar 18, 2015
Just kidding - this post was to be just about Netanyahu's controversial victory speech.
However, I can't help but notice that such derogatory terms are being used above and they tend to be effective in getting people to read and respond. They are designed to to incite aggressive reaction - and it's working?
Perhaps not taking the bait, at least in likewise manner, might be considered? (Easier said than done, I know, done it myself a time or two in times past;)
The reason I have become a registered independent is not only because I have someone very close to me in a local high-ranking politicized position (who has revealed to me dirty play/spending on both sides), but because I do not believe that one side is any "better" or more "moral" than the other, in the end.
But please, continue shouting in caps, using derogatory terms, and touting your own moral and intellectual superiority over others who don't agree with you, if you wish - it's your free speech, I won't report you.
However, know that I personally won't read another thing you have to say, either, lib OR con.
Additionally, consider this - I highly doubt when our forefathers designed the first amendment, they had in mind protecting this sort of free speech towards others of dissenting opinion, especially among their own countrymen.
Otherwise, the linked article below is from the conservative leaning New York Times, and here is a direct quote from Netanyahu:
“Right-wing rule is in danger,” he said. “Arab voters are streaming in huge quantities to the polling stations.”
Your thoughts?

...generally for the same reasons as you. I also tend to skip over the poster who constantly shouts in all caps, uses demeaning nicknames, and insults posters who don't agree with her viewpoint. It's become so tiresome, and it's not worth my time to read the equivalent of a toddler's tantrum. There are many posters on here who seem to want to have an intelligent discussion, but this poster (who is readily identifiable by her posting style) seems to want to stir up negativity on this board. I respect those with differing opinions, but unfortunately this poster cannot seem to do so. It's a pity because there are many interesting things to discuss regarding politics.
Thank you for understanding the point of my post, which apparently was not clear - Independent

Sorry I missed you earlier, I allowed myself momentarily to get a bit distracted, shall we say, still trying to listen to those unhappy with my post for various reasons.
In the end, it's pretty clear some either really don't understand, don't WANT to understand, or are pretending not to understand that I put those derogatory names in quotes because other were using them at each other, knowing they'd get a reaction, especially today
I put those names I saw others using, in quotes in my title, to make that point.
In fact, I tacked that on AFTER I already had my post in draft (it was originally longer about my actual personal opinion about what Netanyahu said).
And I never told them to STOP using these nasty names; in fact, I said "please continue and I won't report you - I'm just going to stop reading them when titled with those things."
As for the wild false accusations that came at me, I WAS on here before, several months ago, but I don't think I'm the person they think I am - because I never used those derogatory terms or "hate speech" at anyone, nor did I call people names.
But back then, as I recall, I was accused of being someone else and calling people names, too, though I really hadn't.
Apparently, some people's world is so small, they really believe there can only be 1 or 2 people in the world that disagree with them, or that sometimes people - left, right and in between - just have a hard time listening to someone's opinion when it's chock full of nastiness and name-calling. No one is asking them to stop, just saying "It's harder for me to hear you."
And then you start saying "Well, there MAY be a pearl in that comment worth salvaging, but exactly how much nasty poo poo do I want to stick my hands in, in order to find it?"
I liked your post - sm

I don't care what you titled your post. I enjoyed reading your post and I have to say I agree with what you wrote.
You wrote nothing wrong. There are no rules that say the body of your post has to match the subject matter. I often go off on different subject matters because sometimes my brain goes in different directions.
You do not sound like either a liberal or conservative. You sound like you stand in the middle. You can see the good and bad in both sides. For me, I do not believe there is any difference. Both sides throw mud and for politicians there are bad and good in both parties. I have not found any good ones though in either party.
Hope you can just ignore the harassing messages. You did nothing to deserve that.
Peace.

Netanyahu This WeekFeb 28, 2015So, they say Biden and some "top" Democrats will not be attending.

Boehner has made a large error and Republicans supporting him are being very destructive to our country's image in the world, not to mention further fracturing Congress.

Reuven Rivlin (Israeli President) Chides Benjamin Netanyahu (Israeli Prime Minister)Mar 27, 2015For those unaware, Israel has both a Prime Minister and a President. The PM is the head honcho, but the President has lesser (but exclusive) powers. Though both are members of the Likud party (conservative), President Rivlin is often considered "centre-right", while Netanyahu is considered "far right."
(Think someone like John McCain or Mitt Romney vs. someone like Ted Cruz.)
Just to refresh memories, in the article below, Israeli President Rivlin is referring to this statement Ne ...
