Why criticizing America is the right thing to do..

No Da you just continue to prove you think your view is right. People give you real responses and facts and you toss them aside as untruthful or wrong. Discussions are a two way street not a 5000 word version of your idea.

Discussions are a two way street not a 5000 word version of your idea.Well, you are 100% wrong here but that is your right......Incidentally though ........ we all think our own view is "right", this is part of being a sentient being (part of being a Human too)......I do not see the point in what you just typed, and criticized, above.....after all, you yourself,  in fact, just actually did what you (apparently) have a problem with me doing, namely stating a personal opinion or viewpoint and firmly believing or expressing conviction in that personal viewpoint  (specifically, you just expressed your own personal viewpoint that you think that I think my view is right.......well done........)But in fact, you are incorrect in the above assessment/conclusion about ME and what I am all about......I clearly stated in my response(s) to NOTES  that, IF....IF someone presents me with actual hard data and facts I am willing to modify my opinions or views  (and NOT data that is subject to wide interpretation or data that comes from  BIASED non-objective sources that have an overt agenda like the Heritage Foundation!)    Simply stating that "An article in the NY times" is a source is NOT sufficient evidence to change one's view....its not evidence of anything.   You need to cite the SPECIFIC article (date, edition, page, title, author  etc)  if you want to use it as a basis for making a point or argument........and as I said earlier since this is the cyber age, provide the actual URL link .......otherwise, it's almost meaningless.      Notes1, if you can just put your pride in neutral for one second, it is a simple ,SIMPLE process to link an article, or source, from another website into a post here on this forum (or any other similar forum)....just do the following:Type ---->    ""   then type or paste the  website or source address, then finish it with   ""OR....you can just tell me what article in the NY times, the date, edition, page etc etc etc!

Sorry to hear that, but not the least bit surprised.

lol   I remember this thread.....I freely admit I was "wound up", but after reading it from start to finish, I typed some of my best most persuasive stuff here....Regarding the Keystone PL ... yeah this was a foregone conclusion something like this was going to happen....typical conservative greed.   No one remembers that I am NOT a fan of or supporter of Democrats because it is so much easier to skewer Republican Hypocrisy.The republicans are now blatantly conducting class warfare both in Congress and via the Whitehouse with the current blustering occupant.   This TAX proposal (almost a done deal now) is the biggest, most egregious piece of hypocritical, harmful fiscal legislation in the history of the country.....its criminal what they are trying to do in making the SUPER RICH even richer while actually harming the middle and lower classes for years to come, and STILL also trying to kill OBAMACARE (without ANYTHING in its place).....Republicans not only know how ignorant and ill informed the average American is, they actually count on it....Its MIND BOGGLING how blatant they are now behaving.....How can they BLOW UP the debt & deficit in this manner??   Talk about arrogant pigs....By the way, did anyone notice, in reading this thread, how on several occasions I IMPLORED Notes1 to simply either LINK the sources for all his dubious (i.e. BOGUS BS) info, or simply state exactly where it can be found......
