Active Senior:

It's a shame that you cannot distinguish the difference between calling a single person something, and the continual slurring of an entire group.

For 8 years the Right put up with the Left calling Bush stupid, immoral. uncaring, killer, warmonger, etc, and rarely got all in a huff over it - yet you are getting all wound up over a poster calling Obama "Obumer".

Please spare us your self-righteous indignation - especially when you come in and repeat the biggest and worst slur of all - painting an entire group as "racist" - especially when there is zero evidence, anywhere, that is the case.

Your response is all too typical of too many - they can dish it out, but cannot take it.

You, as is the case for everyone else, is welcome here to give their opinions. It is even better when those opinions are backed up with verifiable facts.Just don't expect to be treated with kid gloves when you lie or use the totally despicable race card.

Just for the record, as far as I am concerned everyone "belongs" on this blog. And since I am the one who write the piece upon whic you are all commenting I hope what i have to say carries some weight. I read all the comments - even if I rarely respond to them - and I am interested in what everyone has to say, for whatever that's worth. In fact, the more the better.

I wish you all a safe, happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

Peter Roff.

Active Senior of IL _ How do you know what others think ? Self importance ? Justify your stance ? Naturally junior is like how you perceive me because he is against you in this article ? By the way, WHAT COLOR AM I ???

It matters not to me if you stay or go. Truth in the face you can not take. I give reasons why he is a BUM. His OWN WORDS with the numbers. You see “code” words. You wish to discredit the messenger because you can not disprove the message and you hate the message. The BUM did not like Bush’s actions yet obuma exceeded Bush debt, he says, taking care of Bush’s mess. Well lawyer obuma along with Acorn helped cause this recession that Bill C helped cause and Bush warned of.

Just another brucetee but you use race card...

You are right. I don't belong on this blog.

And you all have a right to lie and be morons.

I still see you as racists, in spite of your attempt to hide. So do others.

As was once said, "You can have your own opinion, but you can't have your own facts."

I commented on only one thing, not your continued right wing babbling.

You can't be ashamed, you are blind. You need to follow your name "startthinking..."

You and Junior can continue without me.

Active Senior of IL (truth does hurt)_ CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH ??? We were called racist when against Bill C. health plan. NO. When we were against obuma's heath plan. Joking. Mocking you. Never mind CBO agrees with us. We can not afford bumcare. Blame Bush liberal !!! Bush had movie showing him being murdered. Want a link to what was said about Bush. Is TAME comparred to what "BUM" is is...

You don’t make the rules. Is open forum. Can respond to any ones comment.

Funny, is ok to condemn Bush for ALL THAT GOLF in 8 years. Yet leave the BUM alone that he played MORE GOLF already than Bush. 90 rounds and still counting in ONE TERM. Understand NO MORE PHOTO OPS of his golfing. He played 3 rounds in first 3 days on vacation I hear.

obuma is not “code”. Has obvious meaning. This is a forum. Anyone can respond to anyones comment. LIVE WITH IT. You have choice to leave or stay on site.

So you don’t like the actual words of the BUM used against obuma. Isn’t that a SHAME.

“ignorance” IS not knowing the TRUTH. IS NOT “insults” IF true. He is a BUM. Here is proof:

Senator obuma was against Bush debt hike. A reminder of what Candidate obama said before he ask for raising debt ceiling of $$$ 1.2 trillion as President:

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”

“The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 presidents – #43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic.”

“U.S. Debt Has Increased $48,994 Per SECOND Since Obama Took Office"

“When Obama took over for Bush in January of 2009, America was only $10.6 trillion in debt. In less than three years, the nation’s debt has ballooned past the $15 trillion dollar threshold”

“$48,994 per second works out to almost $3 million dollars per minute ($2,939,640)"

or"

“$176,378,400 per hour"

“or"

“$4,233,081,600 per day – More than four billion dollars of added debt per day.”

Look Junior,

I wasn't talking about anything you said.

My comments were in reference to the obvious, while yours is just more of the same as your colleagues who toss around slurs like 'obuma' and other coded words.

I stand by my observations. You on the other hand stand with your mindless ilk.

You also shame our nation and yourself.

Active Senior of IL 7:13PM December 29, 2011

"Referring to OUR President as obuma shows the racist, mindless nature of the real intent of any comments by this party.

You shame our nation."

Mindless use of the race card with zero proof that it even exists shows your own nature.

You shame your self.

junior of DC 10:53AM December 29, 2011

Comments by http://startthinkingrig ht.wordpress.com/ represent a major contributing factor to our divided America.

The insults and ignorance does nothing to mend our differences. Referring to OUR President as obuma shows the racist, mindless nature of the real intent of any comments by this party.

You shame our nation.

Panskeptic of MT _ “rest of the Koch Brothers' potty mouths? ”

One of the writers on staff here, leslie, said TEA was tied to Koch brothers. Unfortunately for her she said it on Bill O’ show. Bill O’ called her on it and she BACKED DOWN. She COULD NOT PROVE or even tried.

I can connect obuma to helping Warren Buffet (railroads), Gorge Soros (alternative energy & oil in foreign Country), and BP (Gulf oil disaster). The Bum’s friends were involved in alternative energy companies that went bankrupt costing America MONEY.

Peter Roff is conservative slate and bow tie the left. As site says, “Wit and wisdom from all sides of the political spectrum”. LIVE WITH IT Panskeptic.

Don’t LIE like when you wrote “America is not about to embrace anything that Peter Roff would approve of” . Check out Nov. 2, 2010 election result...
