This congress and this president have been completely irresponsible in producing a realistic budget. We are 1/4 into this year and still there hasn't been a vote on the budget for this year! The democrats refuse to cut anything in the hope of blaming the republicans for being "mean spirited" and Obama, as usuall, refuses to take a leadership role in the debate, content to sit back while others hammer out something temporarily acceptable where upon Obama will step in and make a flowery vague and non commital speech! Obama.and the.dems.gave to go they're useless cowards, ineffectual bureaucrats that don't serve the interests of this country or its people!

  You know lady_love. I don't know what your intent is, but it not only reveals a complete lack of sensitivity towards others, but not much of a brain to post things like the above headline.
  
  Firstly, who are you to judge other people? You don't know enough of what is going on in other people's heads to be able to do that?
  
  Secondly, your evaluation of different situations has been shown to be somewhat simplistic. You omit thousands and thousands of pieces of data that change the picture you're drawing. Like, for instance, you assumed because I was taking one position that I had to be a 'leftie'. (Our last thread discussion.)
  
  Thirdly, in seven months, you're written three very juvenile poems. I'm, therefore, assuming that all these posts of yours are nothing more than a tactic for people to click on your hub and read your poems.
  
  Get a life.

  lady love, actually, politically, I am dead center. I believe some of what the GOP wants (fiscal responsibility) and some of what the Dems believe (that medical care is out of reach for most people - I don't like the current solution, though.)
  
  I don't believe abortion should be paid for by the State (Republican) but I do believe that everybody has the right to make their own decision as to whether to have one or not (Democratic.)
  
  So, no party suits me.
  
  Who am I to judge you? I assessed your actions, behavior, and your words. I did not judge you. You, on the other hand, called half of the United States, cowards. That makes YOU a judge. There is a difference between telling someone they're lying (stating an action that someone else is doing) and calling them a liar (making a judgement). You make a lot of judgments about other people.
  
  Is everybody entitled to an opinion??? Not in my opinion. An opinion used to be based on highly researched information. Today, people confuse opinion with the ramblings of an uneducated mind. A lawyer, for example, used to be asked to give 'opinion'. He needed heavily researched facts to express that opinion. Same with a doctor or other medical personnel. One didn't just spout forth a feeling, a belief, or whatever else it is that passes for opinion these days.
  
  I'm not sure what writing you're talking about. Three poems isn't writing. As a professional editor and writer for much of my life, I think I know good writing when I see it. I've certainly been paid to evaluate it (by publishers) in the past.

  And that is the issue. Your 'reported facts' are written by a propaganda press. And because you don't go and check where the 'press' got their sources and their information, you don't realize how erroneous your reading is.
  
  Yes, you DO have to spend years researching things. I have. Like the last time I asked you to quote a piece from the constitution and show me exactly where the current government doesn't obey the constitution.
  
  You couldn't do it because all you had was what someone else said. It doesn't seem to occur to you that the press is owned by people who have a vested interest in getting you to believe what they want you to believe. The only way around that is to go do the research yourself - or at least, enough of it to know that probably what you're reading isn't the truth.
  
  Did you know that there was some research a couple of years back that showed that the brains of those on the right are different to the brains of those on the left?
  
  Those on the right are unable to process complex information while those on the left can...

  You are a fraud! I quoted the constitution directly! Clearly it states congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion the ACLU has worked to get court judgements to eliminate prayer or the mention of god in public institutions.
  
  The article on the budget states simple facts like this being the first congress that hasn't even had a vote on a budget this late into the fiscal year. Fact Obama created a debt commission by executive order against the will of congress and ignored every single recommendation! These are facts.
  
  I think what you need to learn is there is a difference between research for writing a book and a forum post intended to promote discourse... you being a professional and all, one would think that you know that though.

  You know, even sarcasm, be that as it may, can be useful at times, however, it is usually missed for a reason, except when said in a personal and/or public physical conversation.
  
  Typing the words, to display stupidity, shows your sarcasm, but also doesn't make YOU look too good either.
  
  Childish actions will bring about childish responses. If you continue with the childish antics, then not only would you end up in a heated argument, but would also show that your actions were purposed filled, as well.
  
  Again, you would not look too good in that light either.

  As for bringing it up in the thread- I didn't either, Lady_Love did, through the word usage- "righteousness". And, since that is one thing YOU and HER have in common, it is why I said it to you. Not everything in my posts are directly directed at you, but are for those who I know read my posts.
  
  The message is universal, not just for you.
  Nice to see you continue to wear blinders.
  Bringing politicians back to a table of compromise versus freedom and asking them to compromise? Apparently, you do not know or understand compromise or how/why it happens.

  No I don't get twisted up inside Jim. I like pointing out things that are obvious to me, but apparently not obvious to other people.
  
  It isn't sad. Religious folks are generally good people when they keep their beliefs in check. Those who know their place in this world, have no need to use their "religious righteousness" in a destructive way, but do quietly do valuable work within some communities. Those who create no conflict with their beliefs are the ones I'm not referencing in this forum thread.
  
  The ones who enjoy conflict, which shows they failed to learn about their own religious beliefs to begin with, are the ones doing the most damage.

  Yes, there is freedom of speech. I'm not denying that. But, an intelligent and wise person would know the correct path to take, which causes less conflict as possible, so as to convey a specific message to those who are listening.
  You can call on whatever "god" you choose and in public. It's unfortunate that your "god" hasn't answered your prayer/call, because you truly do lack "WISDOM" with regards to much.
  
  I won't stop you or your right to do so, but when your actions defeat your claim, it is my right to speak up and show you the difference.

  Obama never promised to eliminate the deficit, he promised to work toward reducing it and he has. However, you seem to conveniently ignore the fact that the budget must be approved by Congress. Obama can't wave a magic wand and have all of his policies magically enacted.
  
  Again, I ask you, why should the President, who never said he wanted to cut entitlements, do the job of the Tea Party, who DID say they want to cut entitlements and are now apparently too focused on the miniscule NPR and Planned Parenthood budgets to follow through on their very vocal opposition to wasteful social programs like Medicare and Social Security?

The Republicans on this thread are like those who called Max Cleland a coward.
He, a decorated war vet who came home in a wheelchair--they, the high-paid lawyers who came to Congress to further their monetary careers.

And Obama does have to work for all sides. He's the pres of the United States, not the president of his party.

If he takes heat from everybody--which he does-- that would make him something other than a coward, if you ask me. A coward is one who plays to his/her base all the time, refusing to budge.

Errr, ahhhh......ahahahaha!!

  Would this be the same Max Cleland who lied about how he lost his limbs in Vietnam in order to make it look more "heroic" than it actually was?
  
  I was sooo thrilled when Max lost his seat.....good times.....

  Actually, it wasn't meant in that manner, which is nothing new for your viewing habits.
  
  It's called bring civility to the table, which apparently many people who post to the threads lack.
  
  And people claim society is civilized. Yeah, right. You people point the finger at one another, place blame on only one side while not admitting that the side that you are on is no better than the side you oppose.
  
  Talk about being a hypocritical actions.

Citing statistics is not a peronal attack!
Lady Love show 2729 forum posts vs. 3 hubs in 7 months.
Compare to another staunch voice of the conservatives,
Billie D. Ritchie
700 posts, 142 hubs in basically the same time period.
As Randy said, this is a writers' site.
As they say in academia, publish or perish.
(And please do not interpret that as a death threat against people who have published a very low #s of hubs/time on HP).

  You would like HubPages to impose a quantifier insuring that contributors to forums meet a certain criteria vis a vis prodigiousness and quality of literary output?
  
  LaLo's writing was called juvenile and she was called insensitive. Others have called her worse. I've been called worse. But I think stalking a contributor in this manner is a problem.
  
  Nobody cited statistics but you, MM.
  
  If you don't like LaLo's threads don't respond to them. Easies.

  Fine! You consider yourself a writer? Then why not post your rants on your hubs and see how much support you get in the comments section. Be a writer if you are going to consider yourself one.

  @Lady-Love. Everybody writes on forums. That doesn't mean they are writers. Writers write articles, web content, screenplays, plays, books, journalistic content, etc. Nowhere does it define someone who writes on forums as a writer. That's merely social interaction.

Having not read LaLo's 3 hubs I can't comment on whether they are juvenile or not. That is one poster's opinion.
I've seen plenty of posts here on the forums calling other people "juvenile" (not using that exact word, however).

I think it is fair to say LaLo is insensitive. Insensitive meaning not sensitive. If she were sensitive she would have stopped posting long ago.

As for "stalking" I'm not sure who is/was stalking LaLo (?)But if it is true, it is a problem that LaLo can bring to Admin.

Are you kidding?

This is a political discussion board. There are some here who are obviously not in favor of Obama's fundamental transformation of the United States.

You call it "insensitive" to express those opinions because some others object to those opinions?

Seriously are you kidding?

  LaLo has a right to post as much as she wants, just like I have a right to monopolize the conversation at dinner. However, if I do monopolize the conversation at dinner, especially by repeating multiple variations of the same topic and in a negative tone, I shouldn't be surprised if someone calls me insensitive or rude. Similarly, LaLo's posting seems to be considered excessive by many people here. Does she have a right? Sure. Do others have a right to point out that she is being insensitive or rude? Yes.
  
  I suppose I could say to my dinner friends, "Why are you complaining? Why not do something productive with your time? Why not start your own conversations at dinner and ignore mine"? I'm guessing they will eventually be driven away from having dinner with me and I'll be sitting all alone with no one to listen to my drivel.
  
  IF that is your intent, LaLo, keep going and it will eventually happen. The difference here is that new people will come and respond to your one-note posts until they get bored and move on. I suppose you might like that. If so, just carry on. Or, you could choose to be just a little bit more considerate and slow down on the posting.
  
  What you choose to do is a reflection of your character, in my humble opinion, which I have a right to state and which you care nothing about, I'm sure.
