Reading comprehension? Positing a relevant point? Contributing to the conversation?

What do I supposedly blame Bush for? Believe me when I tell you I have a laundry list, but I don't think I listed anything in that post. You then seemed to shift my "blame" for whatever problems I mentioned to the last two years of congress?

If I wanted to engage at this level, I'd call in to Mike Savage.

........uuummmm, you"re the one that said, and I quote "STFU" What does that mean in your world?

Wanker certainly seems accurate.

Jesus son, it's like pulling teeth.

So, with that further explanation what do you think I meant by not wanting to engage at that level?

Rereading, was that a threat of violence in my general direction?

It is starting already! Bush is leaving office tomorrow, we need a new target for our anger. Lets not direct it at each other just yet....

I'll do a poll to help us find a new target, then we can keep peace in the forums.

Now you're getting the point, Chuck. Explain why you think I'm an idiot. That is what we call in the civilized world debate. Don't tell me to "shut the fuck up" In the civilized world I just spoke of, that is called escalation. That is where YOU stepped across the line. I thought we were engaged in debate. That is what this great country is based on. Do you go around on the street telling people to "shut the fuck up"? If you do, expect trouble. If you come up to me and say "shut the fuck up", expect trouble. Is that how you usually meet an opposing viewpoint? If that is how you do things, that is not a threat, but a promise. Any more questions?

What debate? Once again you failed to intelligently participate in the debate. Your response in the other thread is particularly nauseating and you've done nothing (other than offer threats) to earn a response from me. Again, stay on target, what is it I apparently blame Bush for?

As to the other matter, check your pm's tough guy.

Op-ed, but the facts are pretty solid.

This link, that blames Bush made me think you blame Bush. I'll have someone really smart read it to me, maybe then I will understand.

Is this really a fair question? Do the French like anybody? They seem to think they're better than us anyway.

I think they're just jealous because they got stuck with Canada and the US didn't end up being a French colony. Though Canada, in my estimation, is actually a good haul.
