Auraptor's response? "You got boggers in your nose!" And then there's Hero's old saw.. "But HE did it too!"
When do we get to: "YOU started it!"
Sounds like kindergarten.
Tell you what- if either of you actually post something rational, I'll respond. Otherwise, I'll just treat you like I treat trolls.

Bless the fallen and their families.
OK, let’s take it where “Aur” wants to. Is someone really in here complaining about bickering? 
The president:
To answer your question... NO, he doesn’t.
How can a president be involved in bickering in the public eye? He is protected by the screening of questions. The bickering goes on in cabinet/staff meetings or by the appointed Press Secretary. So, don't ask for answers you already know. Or most should anyway. ...and I expect with all the posted links and research done here, that would be an easy answer. More importantly… So, say we prove one way or the other about presidential bickering. What’s your point? He does/doesn’t bicker. OK what? Are you saying that by not participating in “petty” bickering allows time for strong leadership? Present your case. Or is it the “appearance” of a focused, stern leader that “tickles your fancy”. The “decider” has no time for bickering, only to decide.
You speak of fantasy in conspiracy. At this point, it IS fantasy to think if we pull out, they will follow us. Works on both sides. Neither has happened. My guess, (let me know if any of you have better than a guess) the bad guys are planning NOW and will plan after we are out of the region (militarily).
Bickering on the site: (on my assumption that “and instead wrap themselves up in petty partisan bickering” includes this site)
This is a public discussion forum. 80% of everything in here is a perpetual, sometimes elitist, circle jerk of grandstanding. …more to prove YOUR worth and morals than anything.

Is “folks” us/you? Or are u writing/contacting our representatives now to “make a difference”. You are SO in the top ten of bickerers on this site. But, maybe u are just always right
Quote:
“They are utterly and completely irrelevant.”
Wrong, they vote. …more relevant than wind-bagged comments on any pundit show or here (including mine).
On semantics… hmmm, without nonverbal comm. Writing is all we have. Anyone interpreting your words differently does not make them a coward, even if it is clear they are manipulating them just to piss you off.
Why the rant? Occasionally an asshole, but I am neither a coward nor a pussy. Or even a pisspot.

Sorry dickhead, but I've never dodged one god damn fucking thing. Funny how the Left pansies accuse me of dodging stuff while they are doing EXACTLY what they accuse me of doing.
Word - Hypocrites
And I rest my case. After this juvenile back and forth w/ the Lefty pukes, they've presented ZERO in their claim that Bush " bickers " to any extent on the issue of 9/11 one iota.
I win,
They lose.
Case closed.

Where does 9/11 come in ? Are you now adding words after taking them away ?
The original contention was "I feel sorry for folks who don't GET IT, and instead wrap themselves up in petty partisan bickering, as if that will ever amount to anything at all."
Nope, no 9/11 there at all, no matter how many times I read it.
Anyway, keep this up on top. I'll be back in town Monday or Tuesday and get back to you then.

Son, I never credited you with an overabundance of brains, and I have only you to thank for reminding everyone why.
My entire post, as it was written

I stopped caring what the idiots who don't get the significance of what happened on 9/11/01 think or listening to what they say. They are utterly and completely irrelevent. When I watched the Naudet brother's documentary on 9/11, that's all I need to see. Ignorant, asinine claims of conspiracy and compliancy are meaningless to the reality of what happened to real people in the real world that day.
I feel sorry for folks who don't GET IT, and instead wrap themselves up in petty partisan bickering, as if that will ever amount to anything at all.
I will never forget 9/11 and never forgive those who attacked us. Never.
You see, idiot, this entire THREAD was about 9/11. My comment included.
Now go pray to your dear and fluffy lord for some brains. You be needin' it something powerful.

"You see idiot,this entire thread was about 9/11"
AURaptor---Really? Don't see anything in your words about stepping away from politics and lava-like spewing of hatred to remember the dead. Or to think of the living, walking around wounded inside and out.
My brother has sarcoidosis. The government recently admitted this has something to do with breathing in death and vile shit month after month. He also has stopped having a normal life. Does pretty much nothing---rides his bike, washes his car, takes care of our parents because he lives with them. No job, no relationship, no interests. He got his ass on the ferry back to New Jersey that morning, wound up in Hoboken and doesn't remember how he got home to Jersey City. If you want to throw stones at him, you know, he's not the only one--broken, forever changed.
I had recently moved from New York and after falling to my knees, finding out that my brother was alive and being glued to the TV for hours, drove downtown and found a church to sit in. There's a beautiful stained glass window in the worship hall with this line from an old hymn--
"And with the dawn those angel faces smile
That I have loved long since, and lost awhile."
Could you just stop and cry if you need to? I remember thinking, during another time I needed solace, walking through a rose garden "they're all gone, we have to LIVE for them". Let's do something really worthwhile, hmm? Make it meaningful---serve humanity or something easy like that. Just don't say this thread is about 9/11.

Well, seeing as I'm still here at work -
One can't BE partisan about 9/11 no matter how one tries. It's like saying people are partisan about the sun coming up.
Now, one can be partisan about the CAUSE of 9/11, the RESPONSE to 9/11, all the ways 9/11 was USED - but one can't be partisan about 9/11 itself.
So this:
"I feel sorry for folks who don't GET IT, and instead wrap themselves up in petty partisan bickering, as if that will ever amount to anything at all" can't be about 9/11 per se, it HAS to be about something else, like the cause, the response, or the way it was used.
Then you add in 9/11 AS IF it's a partisan item and not merely a fact. Get it ? Though I expect not. In your mind, facts and opinions are one and the same. That's common with none too bright people, like yourself.
So keep this up top. You made a claim that Bush was NEVER petty, partisan, and never bickered. Just like this: "Bush doesn't engage in any bickering, petty , partisan or OTHERWISE". That's going to be a mighty hard claim to hold on to. Are you sure you don't want to change it just a bit ?

Quisqueya - Sorry, but while your story is best viewed by all, your comments would be better directed toward others, not me. I wasn't the one who started w/ this political B.S. on this board, but I did respond to it. You want to impress onto others your tale, fine. But don't make me the heavy here.
I ask them to clarify their comments, and as you can plainly see in the thread, they can't. Lava like ? Yeah, pretty much, because that's how much anger I have at folks who insist on making this about politics and not humanity. Don't fuss at me because I chose to respond. But the only hatred is coming from the likes of rue and SignyM.

rue - you're a coward. I plainly posted my comments in context. You're simply too spineless to admit that you've got nothing but to fight for the sake of fighting. Sorry, but you've lost this one. Keep beating your head against the wall, I'm done w/ you.
