Wow, I don't know of any terrorists on this forum. Chris Matthews voted for George W in 2000; did you know that? He says a lot of things that are dumb when he gets carried away too. He went to college in Mass and likely has a lot of friends in Boston...plus, he's human and was doing his show during a tragedy. I'd give the guy a break, especially since he took it back when he realized.

OP, yesterday was a difficult day for everyone and it continues today. If you're angry, that would be a normal reaction. Just this time, I'm going to give you a break...but see the Posting Guidelines and don't do this again or you will lose posting privileges. It's a trollish post and you would have been better off to *not* hit Submit on it.

This thread is done.

So let me see if I got this right. If Chris Matthews calls the right domestic terrorists it's ok as long as he takes it back. So when I try to make a point by saying the same thing about the left, and then change my phrase in the next sentence, the post gets blocked and I get threatened with a ban from the forum. The hypocrisy on the train and from the left is shameful. If you feel the need to ban me for calling you out on this post go ahead. No sleep lost here. Also you may block this post if you wish. I said all I needed to say about this topic.

    Of course there's bigger issues. Does that mean someone can't get something off his chest? Hypocricy pisses me off!

    I gotta say, not impressed with defending Chris Matthews, but everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Though I prefer if someone is giving an opinion that they allow others to respond and not just locking a thread.

    What's the opinion? It was hate spewing if anything.

    I voted for Bush. Every Bush.

    Look at us Now. Every week some loon has attacked his/her own people.

    Going all the way back to the Batman movie theater shooting.

    Mental Health needs to be a HUGE issue.
    Socialized healthcare, Cutting medical budgets, and not giving humans a place to express or talk about their emotions... (unless they are super rich) leads to this.


    What did Bush say to Saddam?

    "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

    Obama took all that glory. I am not a socialist. IF this happens... I need to move.

    Certain opinions get locked. It maybe my third warning tomorrow. But I'm certain about my opinion.

    If I get kicked out ... I will still send that stuff to those peeps . I got your addresses. 3 months , I'll be back.

  • How do you know who the "left" people are? The one's who disagree with you?

    I am sure its because you all know each other pretty well, but if its because of a few "left" views than that is not reasonable judgement. I have left views and right views and I am sure there are others.

    Actually, the Civil Rights movement is not really over if you look at it. Inequality and racism still persists. And to limit the Civil Rights movement to the south is unjust.

    Also, many southern democrats were conservative. In the 1940's, much of the New Deal did not extend to blacks, black women, or women in general (for a while). And conservatives (both Republican and Democrat) had a role in preventing those people to get what everyone else was getting. These struggles would eventually lead to Civil Right movements in the 1950s and 1960s.

    Now I am not saying blame conservative, I'm just pointing out this. I think everyone had a part in that.

    You have to look at the whole history of the movement. Check "The Long Civil Rights Movement and the Political Uses of the Past" by Jacquelyn Dowd Hall as a start. But there are many good books on the history as well.

    That goes for all history.

    Like everyone from another country that have no political alliance at all.

    Political alliances are just pointless to me. We all have views. To choose one side and stick to just those views prevent many people from saying what they truly believe. I have friends on both sides who share ideas from the opposite side, but they rarely publicly show it. It's sad. That is what political alliances and parties do. And that is what George Washington warned us about. It truly prevents freedom of speech.

    Yes! I'm a complete racist. :lol:

    I know you know this is just BS. I have no need to prove I have every color in my family.

    Color doesn't matter. I blame the bombing on the person that made the bomb. He/She... Green or purple did it, and they need to face reality. They need to know they hurt so many people, and Live in Anonymity is derived from the Greek word ἀνωνυμία, anonymia, meaning "without a name" or "namelessness". Anonymity!

    "typically refers to the state of an individual's personal identity, or personally identifiable information, being publicly unknown.

    There are various situations in which a person might choose to withhold their identity. Acts of charity have been performed anonymously when benefactors do not wish to be acknowledged. A person who feels threatened might attempt to mitigate that threat through anonymity.


    Criminals might proceed anonymously to conceal their participation in a crime. Anonymity may also be created unintentionally, through the loss of identifying information due to the passage of time or a destructive event."


    They deserve no media or press coverage. Who killed John Lennon? Everyone forgot. I've asked many. It's not worth remembering. 1 in 75 people know the answer. WITHOUT google.

    I'm tired.



    ( Mark David Chapman... Some people think it's David Chapham, Mark Boham, David Chefield, etc. He has been released from prison a few years ago. Did anyone care? Nope. )

    The media doesn't get what's really going in our everyday lives regardless of their political affiliation, so your really can't take anything they say seriously.
