Personally, I'm still waiting for Susan to explain her comments. I'm vocal because I was shocked and dismayed to see what I saw as racial bigotry and an incitement to assassinate the serving President on this forum. If I misinterpreted Susan's post and her intent, I'll apologise to her.

Sometimes, the only way to get rid of them is to kill them without due process of law. The fact that Obama is black was only an added bonus to my comment, but not the reason behind it. And in my personal opinion, I don't classify Obama with African Americans (or whatever the current politically correct term is for today). I place him with the Al Qaeda terrorists.

There are always 2 sides to everything. It all depends upon which side is the "winner". To some, our founding fathers are heroes. To others, they are traitors. It may come to pass that what I have posted on this forum will lead to my execution. Some will consider it due justice for a traitor. Some will consider it a travesty of justice. None of that matters to me. What DOES matter is how God judges my words and my actions, and I am confident in what that judgment will be.

Here's the post I find objectionable

So this is the spade comment that was so highly offensive.

I posted this in response in another thread, and was confused how someone found it offensive. Until now I didn't realize it was the spade comment that might be seen as offensive, as I honestly thought it was interpreted as calling it like it is, and meant no other statement.

Apparently Wade thought it was offensive, because of the spade comment. Which now makes sense, seeing I guess it does have a certain meaning to others.

But this confuses me?

Moderators...what have they come to these days!

wade 09-02-2009 01:45 PM

Mikey baby, give me a break. I was screwing with you, it was a joke. I was throwing your words back at you. Ha Ha, I laugh, humor. Look it up.

Apparently moderators are not supposed to be under any obligation to post in any particular fashion. :shrugs:

At least be honest with yourself and say you have a personal problem with us, because nothing in this thread was crying wolf, and wasn't any more against the grain than any other post.

Actually, when y'all post as one and answer for each other, I DO have a problem with y'all. When Michael posts as Micheal, I have very little problems with Micheal. If Ricky wouldn't be speaking for you half of the time, I think very few people would have a problem with you.

However, my feelings aside for Ricky or you, that is irrelevant. One or both of you are famous for calling anyone that doesn't like his policies a racist. That's calling Wolf, and your (you, Ricky, or both) doing that is why I offer you so little slack. I don't appreciate the name calling, and I don't forget lightly. It doesn't bother me because I know why I hate the man so much, and it has nothing to do with race. Your intent to libel my character is what has me so disgusted with your discussion techniques. Y'all cry WOLF too much for many people to care about it any longer.

And the vocal ones are just being more vocal now because they're opportunistic, and find it the best time to speak up.

Excuse me for pointing out that you are speaking from ignorance. Do you even KNOW the group of people I'm referring to? These ARE rightw-ing extremists. Do you even know a real member of the firearm culture? I mean a law-abiding citizen that feels his firearms are an extension of his self. No offense, but someone barely old enough to buy a pistol is unlikely to know about the group I'm discussing. Again, don't feel compelled to answer something that you know nothing about. Just let it go and try to find out info before posting.

I think a term used for Palin running this country into the ground might have been field dressing rather than lynching ;)!

Enough of the spade comment diversion. I clearly knew no other meaning, and you never brought it up in the original thread, or to the many others that have used it before too.

It isn't a diversion. ...and I used lynch to describe a white guy that needed it. It is a real question: why is it OK for you to use a racially charged word (through claimed ignorance that I don't believe) but nobody else can use a word that you find offensive if they don't mean it in an offensive way? WHAT is the difference? I use lynch, and I don't mean it racially. You use spade and don't mean it racially. Why am I wrong and you are right? Is it because you can do no wrong?

...oh, and to everyone else, governments SHOULD be held responsible when they do actuions that harm their people. When they go against the people's wishes and hurt them, they SHOULD fear for their lives - not just their jobs or future salaries!

Three things I’ve learned in life, Don’t throw rocks as Super Man, Don’t pee into the wind, and don’t piss off the moderators.

Erm....I take you are also in favour of armed revolution and murdering elected Govt officials? And just how does advocating an armed coup seperate you from any other dictator/revolutionary/terrorist/freedom-fighter? (the terms are largely interchangeable depending on which side of the revolution you're standing)
