Is Everything an Insult Now?

[centrehice]

Bush took much more of a beating than Obama whether it was deserved or not.But I guess that is what it is all about being able to voice your displeasure about the POTUS of whomever you want.

Bush was never hated for the colour of his skin, nor doubt of his place of birth, or that his middle name was not an Anglo-Saxon derivative.

Bush was hated because he did not have a functioning Cerebral Cortex.

Obama is hated because he is Black.
Obama is hated because he is a Muslim.
Obama is hated because he was born in Africa.
Obama is hated because he has forged American Short Form Birth Documents
Obama is hated because he has forged American Long Form Birth Documents.

And Donald Trump is the spawn of Orangutans.

Yeah, you know, kinda like when I criticize an ideology but because some people can't suspend their attachment to said ideology, they automatically believe I'm insulting them.

If for example one of you guys say that liberalism is stupid for X reason....you are NOT insulting me.

[shrewsbury]

alex, I never insult you.

as far as hating obama cause he is black is crazy, and i never knew he was muslim, and I doubt he forged anything.

race has nothing to do with why I don't like obama, romney, bush, clinton, or carter as president.

No, your right. And its not just this forum its just about all of them. The country has gone wussy my friend. Everyone is so locked up in there houses and stuck on computers and vids they dont get out and mingle and learn how to interact with humans face to face. So they take offense to everything that sounds negative and/or aimed at them. Ive gotten in trouble a few times over BS

I know that, and I hope you understand that when I criticize Christianity and conservatism I'm also not insulting you or anyone else.

and i never knew he was muslim,

He's not.

He's a Christian.

so true...

I have been all over the western part of the US..... Washington, Oregon, California and Nevada (God bless Las Vegas, the ultimate testament to US excessive exceptionalism) and I've never once met a Rethuglican or a Lib-Tard. All I've met were Americans, and the occasional other drunk Canadian. And everyone has been SUPER nice to me!!!

Granted, it probably helps that I'm a middle-aged white guy, sad to say but true......but the people who AREN'T in front of their computers, the normal everyday working stiffs, the REAL Americans (to paraphrase a nitwit) who keep the USA actually moving, most of them couldn't care less about the Black-Muslim-National-Socialist in the White House. You have to remember that though the extreme right and left are very very VERY loud, they're still very much in the minority.

All of us here on this board come from different backgrounds I'm assuming, we're in different tax brackets, different outlooks on life and the after-life etc. For the most part we keep it civil tho. Maybe more people should be collecting sports cards...........

Are you suggesting a case break for world peace?

Undoubtedly true for some people, but the vast majority just don't like his policies and don't trust him.

Do you still believe the birth certificate is legit? I think history will show that the American public were shamed into not pursuing the truth of this matter because of their fear of being called racist or "birther". Here is only one of many anomalies with the document that is not easily explained away. Label me with whatever names you want, it won't change the fact that the President seems to be hiding something.

veggie, so you think because of the color of your skin you can't be racist? did you not call cain and others uncle toms and sell outs? (yes you did)

this would be the difference, calling someone an uncle tom is racist, those who do not like Obama's policies are some how racists, but when the last time I checked, policies has little to do with skin color. are there whites who did not vote for obama because he is black? I am sure there are, but percentage wise I am sure just as many blacks voted for him because he is black, and that too is racist.

anti obama does not mean anti black, nor more than anti bush means anti white, at least for some it doesn't

I stand by everything I post on here. If you or anyone else care to attempt prove me wrong feel free. Without getting in the uncle tom discussion because I was told by upper management not to answer me this. I love what I see in the mirror as well as all black as well as non black people. So if I was using racist remarks against blacks I must hate blacks correct? No the conservative management team here does not appreciate me calling out someone for doing the american public (which by default includes the black community) a disservice. Shrew I would love to discuss more but again I was told not to on this website so I must leave things as is.

Also no one has given a straight answer on why conservative insist on using President Obama's middle name but do not when referring to any other president? Yes the are plenty of racists over here but I can assure you that I am not one of them.
