Why I Fought the Fight.

[fuhr52]

It's best not to feed the trolls. It's an argument you can't win. Who knows what the truth is or what the motivation could be. I wasn't there. History dictates that and the person writing history as well as those reading history will decide what the truth is. Some of us are more adapt at weeding out what is true and what is BS. As some will say don't let the truth get in the way of a good story and/or a personal agenda. leasantry:

Citizen: The majority that voted Obama back in were the minorities who are generational in their draining the country dry, illegal aliens (yes, Hispanics, Europeans, Muslims, etc.). You know, those who want our prosperity without having to work for it. Also women who want the government to sudsidize their sexual activities in order to continue in their immorality. Gee, the list goes on and on but I'm sure you would disagree with that also. And why would we want to vote one more president into office? Could it be that that is the way our government is set up? Or would you rather have anarchy? You seem to have a very troubled mind, agreeing with nothing and opposing everything. If you are so disagreeable with everything posted on here, why don't you find a forum you like and might be able to contribute to? Surely there is some subject you can find somewhere which meets your criteria for intelligent conversation. Or maybe not.

Not everybody that can vote does. Yes a number of white and black voters voted for Obama because he was black as also a number of voters voted for him because he was a democrat. To be fair there are republicans that vote republican only. Issues don't matter to these voters. As for why normal average people don't run for president, who wants to go through the anal exam they will receive from left wing main stream media. It's not worth the dirt they will print and/or report, true or not, doesn't matter to them. The damage is done.

Citizen: Are you always obnoxious or do you work at it? With you there is no debate. You disagree with everything that is posted on here, regardless of the subject. Is there anything in this world you agree with? Or are you on here to constantly argue? As someone mentioned before, you sound like old Shoobee reincarnated. WOW! What a thought. I read a quotation by George Eliot that seems to describe you, "He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow." There are a lot of good people on here who have interesting things to say and are able to say them without causing a lot of dissention. Probably, even you might have something interesting to say now and then that people will appreciate. However, the attitude you display in the tenor of your posts are a definite turn-off. Settle down dude and develop your personal skills rather than huff and puff all the time. There is always something good to be learned on here from many people and can be quite enjoyable. No need to constantly nig-nag.

Found this which shows what we should be teaching our children, but alas we are not allowed because it has the "G" word in it.

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor -- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me "to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness."

Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be -- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks -- for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation -- for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed -- for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted -- for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions -- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually -- to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed -- to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shown kindness onto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord -- To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us -- and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand at the City of New York
the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.
