Wait. Let me get this straight. For eight years it was a-ok for the left to call Bush names. They can call him W, Dubya, Shrub, whatever. They can say hes not their President (even Obama alluded that Bush isnt
his President in a debate with McCain) and we even have a OS that has publically made it known on this message board that he refuses to live in the US as long as Bush is President. So all that is ok? But if you refer to Obama has H --- which is
no different than the left calling Bush W than its not ok?
I told you that their logic is screwed-up.
And whats this crap about referring to Obama as H or by his middle name being fear mongering (or whatever) and saying hes Muslim? Are they saying that
only Muslims can have the name Hussein? Since Obamas legal middle name
is Hussein - as that is what his mother named him are
they saying that hes a Muslim?
They dont really think things through before they go off on their attacks do they?
Do you guys think my siggie is offensive? I've had a few posters tell me that it is.
The whole story: I was inspired to adopt my new siggie after seeing an Australian politcal cartoon.
I was touched by how one of our allies showed deep appreciation for our military heroes. I figured if they could do that, then I could at least adopt a new sig based on the cartoon. That seemed to be an appropriate way to honor veterans as Veterans Day approached earlier this month. I haven't been moved to change it even though the holiday has passed.
I am proud of our heroes currently serving in the military, and of the history of bravery and commitment to freedom that women and men in the armed forces have shown throughout this nation's history.
Apparently some folks find my sig offensive because it overstates US involvement in history. Now dumb ol' me... I thought it to be a beautiful tribute from one of our allies. My intentions are pure. I only wish to say something honorable about our veterans.
Im not offended. I understood the point. But really, Zip. We live in a society where
someone is going to be offended
somewhere over
anything you say. You could walk into the office and say Its such a lovely day outside. The sky is blue, the breeze is just perfect and traffic was great and someone could disagree because for
that person its too cold and its not a breeze, its a wind gust and their hair was messed up on the way in and there was a traffic accident along their route that morning that put them in the office ten minutes later than normal and they dont want
you to walk in all cheerful claiming it to be a beautiful day when
your definition of beautiful day doesnt meet
their definition of beautiful day.
We live in a society were 100% of the time youre supposed to be politically correct. Well Ill tell you: political correctness isnt always politically correct and Im usually more offended by a person trying to be politically correct than I am by the person telling it as it is.
OK. There's my rant for the morning.
