Ah; Joe one mans hypocrisy is another mans facts, so in that mode Joe as far as you are concerned my hypocrisy surely knows no bounds, I do feel sorry tho that you think I have been bullying your poor liberal brethren , conservatives do not as a rule have this problem, because we have learned to stand on our own two legs.

John does your hypocrisy have no bounds. I have read on many occasions were you have made belittling remarks and tried playing the playground bully with remarks that have had your comments removed a time or two. Ben we are all pretty much pro-life, but we also use practical thought to some women who need the law on their side. We don't use our religious beliefs to demand that others have to follow especially if it is the law. We don't use the terms baby killers to verbally attack those who may, or may not have religious beliefs different from our own. The Catholic organization with all their good intentions, and their teachings, have somewhat lost their own way by protecting those priests accused of molesting boys and girls. Those in the Catholic organization condemn abortion as the taking of a life, but what happens to someone molested by a priest, what do you think a victims life is like? On top of all this these priests who have committed these terrible acts that have caused trama to boys and girls, probably lasting a life time, seems to be acceptable when they are transfered. They are then allowed to continue to be active in the priest hood. Now that the pressure is being applied to the Catholic church for protecting sex offender priests, they now want to fix the problem, good, but who knows how deep the problem is? Say one thing, then do another is the hypocrisy of the Catholic church. God is the judge, so let God be that judge, pro-lifers should not be the judge.

No Steve you have never called me Johnny boy , or Johnnie, never claimed you did,. why steve is it always someone on the other side of the fence who is bullying, and has childish behavior patterns? speaking of childish behavior, what did you mean when the lady from Princeburg asked a religious question ?? your answer was just dripping in disdain, and contempt, yet in your circles i imagine such behavior is oh so avant-garde while the ladys question was oh so common, Steve I believe you have been with the wrong people for to long, their behavior is now your DNA and any one differing from your elitist views is just a part of the great unwashed, your gentle supposedly sophisticated remarks are just as cutting and hurtful as speaking the unvarnishe facts of what you are really trying to say.

No, John S, it's your bullying, name calling, belittling, childish behavior that will get you removed. You really can't stop yourself, can you? I've never called you "johnny" or "john boy", and you know that, in your heart.

Someone on these sites evidently believes that any one questioning the motives of someone from the left is playing with getting 86'd from these sites and anyone doing so is allowing his inner child to dictate his motives, chances are the conservative poster needs counseling and it would take a village to tolerate such a curmudgeon, ah yes the mush flack that a true conservative must endure, after posting his thoughts amidst the general chorus of such tender young minds,most of whose real life experiences have transpired within a 100 Sq. mi. piece of real estate, of course I suppose one must always keep in mind the fellow posting these gems did say he went to the U.

Someone is flirting with getting 86'd from the site again. The old moth and the flame story, I guess. You'd think a guy, living in Florida, would be happy as a clam, but I guess his inner child needs to strike out sometimes. Probably too late for counseling. It takes a village, to tolerate a curmudgeon.....

Well Terrance, getting your name right is not the easiest thing to do, for a long while you were Todd. of course as we were so friendly I liked to call you Toddy, then when the folks got wise to you nefarious schemes of selling those evil Ins. policies to unsuspecting seniors who you hold such a disdain for you switched monikers and now you are Terrance, this is a common ploy among those who do not want for various reasons to have there lives examined to closely, as one can well imagine when one makes a living selling a product that he detests to someone he also loathes ,and all for a few bucks, then attempts to pass himself off as a good samaritan , with your close association to Biden you must be looking for a spot in this Admin. I think you would fit right in.

You know Rick I will stand by my comment of 2/21/10. Yes I did call you a child because I asked you a question that you still won't answer.. Your response to my question sounded like a child arguing a point.
