Well, if you wanted to be a victim, and play the "poor, poor me, I'm being discriminated against" card you would.

This is our society as a whole – victims.

Earlier in this thread ethnicity as brought up as some will play a victim card; but the truth is – we’re a society full of victim card players. Whites can’t use the victim card in regards to their ethnicity but they can find something else applicable to them in order to pull that card.

This is a reflection of our declining society as a whole; everyone wants to be a victim. No one wants to accept blame for their own failure and mistakes but to be able to point the finger at someone else. No one wants to work and strive for their dreams but instead they want it handed to them.

I don’t have children, but is it true that on a lot of sports teams in today's society everyone, including the losing team, will get trophies and praises? What does that teach the kids about healthy competition and to work hard in order to achieve something? If you’re handed something you’re sure not going to work hard for anything and that will lead to all areas of your life.

Our society, as a whole; every person, every color, every religion, every sexual orientation, needs to stop playing the blame game when their life isn’t moving in the direction that they want and re-learn what the terms “hard work” and “great achievements” mean. Our society, as a whole, is too lazy to want that and their kids are being brought up to work little and blame hard. It is in their laziness that they use a “victim card” as a crutch – and there are many victim cards that can apply to everyone of all colors, all genders, all religions and all sexual orientations.

YAY DOLCE!!!! Excellent post!!!

The book clearly shows that he was very committed to his faith and believed the country needed that moral foundation.

I'll preface the comments with stating I haven't read the book. However, it's so very true. The founding fathers believed in freedom OF religion -- not freedom FROM religion. It's a distinction that I think a lot of people either don't get or conveniently forget.

Btw, first time responder in this thread. Now to see if I can keep up with things. Stuff moves so quickly here it seems!

Wait- I thought that Breezy was running? I can't run against the person that brings all of the great food. I'm sure she wouldn't share with her opponent and then I'd starve from malnourishment and then she'd win by default…

Yup, I’m sure that’s her evil plan.

Hello conservatives. Hope all of you are well.

Been busy and my internet time has been sorely restricted.

One observation and something that has been bugging me about the upcoming inauguration.....

Why in the world is President Obama so insistent on using Abraham Lincoln as a prop for his inauguration?

• He is being sworn in using Lincoln's Bible.
• His inaugural dinner is inspired by Lincoln.
• He is being driven to the inauguration in a Lincoln.
• He recently spent time at the Lincoln Memorial -(purportedly for private reflection, yet somehow all the media was notified- have they all had their "tingly leg" alarm installed already?)

The only thing he is lacking at this point is a funny beard with no moustache and a top hat!


Frankly, I think it is a hubric reach (along the lines of his "over the freakin' top" Berlin speech).

I am thinking he should consider something along the lines of:

• Swear in using Jimmy Carter's Bible (you know, the one that doesn't say "Israel" anywhere in it.
• Inaugural dinner inspired by William Taft.
• Get pulled to the inauguration by Al Gore in a Rickshaw
• Spend some reflective time at Arlington National Cemetary.

If he starts out his inaugural address with "Fourscore and......"

I've been out all day today, so I just caught up. My you all have been talkative today

I'm glad I found this board, I agree with a lot of what has been said! As far as my friends go, I have a mish mosh, I have some conservative friends and some liberal friends. A lot of moderate friends. My best friend doesn't really pay attention to politics much. She didn't decide who to vote for until a week before the election And I just realized I have no idea who she did vote for. We don't really talk about it much, I kind of like it that way, we remain close without bickering about politics all the time!

I probably won't be around much tonight, so everyone have a good night!!!

98% of the people that the DH and I hang out with often are liberal. I figure that is what happens when you live somewhere like Seattle. I've learned just not to talk politics to some of them. It's just an exercise in futility.

oh, doncha remember? abe lincoln freed the slaves. remember that "history: the sequel" won't show that the war between the states was fought to prevent the south from seceding from the union. it will say that the war was fought to free the slaves. and the confederate flag is evil.

lincoln.
