What does me having Canadian friends have to do with anything? I don't dislike Welts because she's Canadian, I don't care for her stances.
And Welts is the one that brought up abortion. She knew what she was doing...
Yup. Bring up abortion, then pretend to that you are a victim of other people being "mean" when they give heated opinions with which you disagree. Uh huh.
Liberals name call all the time. If you dont' like Obama's policies, then you are a racist. If you disagree with gay marriage then you are a 'homophobe". A climate change denier. A birther. Blah, blah, blah.
AGAIN:
Not ALL Liberals are the same.
Do you need me to do a cross stitch so you can hang it on your wall?
flan
That defense rings hollow coming from you.
Okay...
I was specifically referring to the name-calling. I don't do that.
flan
p.s. I realize that I'm not always successful, but for some people, it's their motus operandi.

Yes, you do. You've been banned for it twice.

What bothers me is when someone is losing an argument, and the names start flying. And if you (general you) routinely uses "O'Dummer" or some such witless nickname because you don't like the POTUS, it speaks volumes about the poster. Also, Libtard...I could go on...

Well, I have to say too bad about you disliking nicknames for the President. He's a public figure and people have the right to talk about him any way they like.

And name-calling people on this board against the rules is a much bigger no-no than any offense you might take to how people feel about any public figure or others in general not on this board.
And as for the "libtard" comment - the liberals dish out just as much crap against the conservatives, so that doesn't generate much sympathy, either.

I must be failing as a Liberal, since I can't think of any insults to use.
When someone takes a generalization personally, I can't help but wonder why.
Is it that they know they are guilty of whatever it is? Or that it fits them?

You do quite well.
You really think this "oh innocent me" thing is playing? Give me a break. You are one of the worst offenders on this board. Pretending to be some kind of victim doesn't make you one.

Though it isn't a group hug by any means, at least the tone at this point is much more reasonable on both sides now - I thank you all.
I know I'm not the norm - I'm someone who frequents a message board who also hates arguing. I get that, accept that I'm different from the norm (and as such have very little to stand on by demanding that everyone be nicer to everyone, LOL) and I suppose my low post count attests to my aversion to arguing in any form.

Depends on the time period. 5 or 7 in a lifetime--not that many. 5 or 7 last week? Slut.
