Can I Be “Offended” Too?

Hamid Karzai has a Facebook Page. Here is what I posted for him on that page.

"I would like to take a few seconds to also apologize to the Afghan President, Hamid Krazai, for what our soldiers have done by accident. They should not even be in your country. It would have made things a lot easier if we would have just leveled your dirty little crap hole of a country 10 years ago. P.S. You look really dumb in that elf hat.

Hope you're enjoying your weekend,

Keith"

Woops, sorry Mike. My previous comment was suppose to go on your 'apologies' blog but, I accidenatlly placed it on this one. I aplogize.

"TOLERANCE"

TOLERANCE to me in many cases means that I have to back down from my beliefs in order to gain something in society, or not have somebody do harm to me or my property because of what I believe, or hold me down from making progress in my life.

TOLERANCE means I have to watch what I say as to not hurt someones feelings.

I agree with pretty much everything you said here Zook.

I am very intolerant towards people, any people with the do as I say not as I do attitude.

I am getting very tired of the elite class, criminals, druggies, and illegals controlling my life while not being expected to abide by the same rules that I have to be tolerant of.

The elites are spending us into oblivion for the good of the country.

The criminals keep doing what they do, in general taking from someone else and costing us huge amounts of money when caught to house and feed them.

The druggies who are at the very least non productive or fall into the same class as the housed and fed class of criminals.

(prison, welfare, or some other entitlement)

The illegals for their expenses attached to the health care industries and our so impoverished public education system among other things.

Yes I believe we need to be a little less tolerant and step up to make some of this go away.

But I am just one person and have no control, and someone will surly have a reason not to tolerate what I have just said!

I feel better now any way and that's what it is all about, Right?

Grumpy

Great blog Mike as always. Hope you are well my friend. All of our best to you both!

Grumpy and Zook:

I would like to join in on the things that offend me (this is a list of today only and just what comes to mind right now):

1. A school district that over-spends and expects tax payers to foot the bill year after year in the form of a levy because God forbid any cuts should be made!!

2. People who are on welfare for all/most of their lives.

3. People who breed for sport.

4. People who breed for sport and expect tax payers to support them and all of their children for eternity (generational welfare).

5. People who are on welfare and use drugs, abuse their children, etc. and expect me to pay their way (and for their criminal attorney when they get busted).

6. Illegals who collect social security, food stamps, etc.

7. CAPS LOCK (and those who abuse that button).

8. People who drive fancy cars (and own those cars) and then pull out their food stamp cash card with a cart full of junk food at the food store---and have a genuine Coach purse---that houses their Government food card.

9. People who say they can't work because of some bogus injury, who go on social security---but havo NO problem working for cash doing all of the things they claim they can't do at a regular job.

And last but not least!

10. Obama and everything about him (I feel sorry for the dog however). A President should never put down the people he claims to represent/support (that folks is called pooping where you eat).

Take away the Government Programs and I promise they will work. If I can wipe butts to pay my bills...then by golly so can they! We all have to kiss a few frogs in life. We may not like it but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Whoa!!!!

Feels good huh?

You guys forgot to add when we go to War with another country we have to play by their rules. We don't want to offend and hurt anyone because of theirs customs or regilion now would we.

It does make me feel better Grumpy! Did I cross a line? Would not be the first time...not the last either:). I am a rebel.

The "Ground Zero Mosque" dialog in this blog is NOT new, Mike. I saw it shortly after the controvery broke in August 2010.

The "letter" (and it was actually an electronic correspondence)) I recieved came via a friend who IDOLIZED Fox News and Glen Beck until he confirmed Beck's religious beliefs. But he over-looked Beck's religion because he hated "Muslims" PERIOD.

That e-mail came out of Texas forwarded several times by the time I saw it.

Wayne is gone now (RIP), and I miss him. But the truth or at least partial truth is that the witty (or sarcastic) verbage your friend sent you is plagerized from an episode of the Glen Beck show.

I TOO AM OFFENDED !!!!!!! WE SHOULD NOT BE THERE.....GET OUT !!!!!!! EVEN THE GEO POLETICS IS WRONG.So yes I am OFFENDED in this INSTANCE BY 2 ELECTIONS.NO APOLOGY WAS NEEDED PERIOD.No investigation is needed,the protocals were being followed,,,,,get out.......next time give the quran to the afghan soldiers to dispose off.PRES BUSH WAS WRONG AND PRES OBAMA IS WRONG enough of this madness get out.

"Poletics"...there are those dang bugs on that pole again. Different blog...same bugs and same stuck Caps Lock!

No Zook, Wayne will never come back "under another name". He is gone from this world. He died just over a year ago.

He was my friend, my fishing buddy, my hunting buddy and my political opposite. He would rather spend time in Hells Canyon in December and sleep on his jet boat than deal with the reality of his various illnesses, many of which were brought on by years of exposure to radiation HE took while trying to diagnose the ailments of others.

He was a Navy corpsman who flew in choppers from off the coast of Vietnam when you were still in high school. He NEVER worried about the origin of his patient THEN and OFTEN challenged doctors over their lack of concern for people and their families until the day he quit working.

The video clip where the terms Turban Cowboy and Iraq of Ribs were "coined" had both Beck and his guest "one upping" each other while doing their utmost to keep from bursting out in laughter.

I would appreciate it if you could restrain yourself sufficiently to afford a fellow vet a little respect.

Not me, sir.

Wayne............

I came I read and for the most part I agree.

Ditto all of the same things.

GREAT BLOG! !!!!!!!

Then there was the bumper sticker that said "KEEP IDAHO GREEN - BRING MONEY"

As I recall, bumper stickers were associated with elections too.

When you have to start compromising yourself or your morals for people around you, it's time to change the people around you!

Buckshot, you stated the following:

"he [Obama] is also violating the separation between church and state. In the video promo for the campaign, Obama urges black people to pressure churches into supporting his administration by getting his message out via the faith community".

Explain how Mr. Obama is violating separation between church and state laws by urging black people to pressure churches into supporting his administration by getting his message out via "the faith community".

It is a sad day when we side with the enemy/terrorists/murderers, etc.

That is the means to an end.

4 more US soldiers wounded as a result of the "burning of the books" (per CBS news at 4:43 p.m. today).

So remind me again how saying "sorry" has helped this issue.

Someone draw that man a picture!

Buckshot: I'm sorry I attributed the stuff you posted to you. It certainly appeared to me it was written by you. But now I see you just cut and pasted the words of "others".

Now I could be completely wrong about this but the candidate called "Mr. Obama" likely isn't bound by church and state laws. And his "call for black people to pressure churches into supporting his administration by getting his message out via the faith community" is contained on his campaign website. But I suppose there could be something in the US Constitution that restricts political candidates from fully utilizing the "freedom of speech" portion of the 1st Amendment. I'm just not as knowledgeable about constitutional laws as you, The Prison Planet website and all the commenter's on that site.

I'd agree fully that this behavior would be a violation of the 1st amendment if it was on his .gov website. So my conclusion is, you have again tried to mislead.

Please feel free to correct me on this if you feel I'm wrong. Love to hear, in your own words, what you have to say.

bazookaman: I make the same offer to you to show all of us where a candidate for political office is bound by church and state laws on his/her own campaign website.

Again, I'm not defending President Obama. I just like it when discussions are based on facts and/or solid opinions.

OpinionMissy: I make the same offer to you. Include pictures if you like.

Wow. So many victims, so little internet.

Buckshot: Didn't miss your point at all. But when someone cut/pastes a potion of an article to backup their viewpoint, I have to assume they are in agreement with the entire cut/paste. The only other conclusions are laziness or the need to mislead.

As far as the constitutionality of Obamacare? I'm not qualified to determine if it's a violation of church and state. Plenty of brilliant minds are still debating the issue. Spin that issue any way you wish but I'll wait for the legal ruling and accept it.

As far as your comment "Maybe you'll understand this clip"? I had to stop at the "Why just this week, he not only proclaimed that Jesus Christ had endorsed him for President" portion of your cut/paste. When people write drivel like that I won't even try to fact check it.

So when you use sources that outright lie, stretch the truth or try to mislead, to back up your political views it might be better to just respond with "huh uh, you're wrong".

Bazookaman: When you ask a good question like "Can I Be Offended Too?, I respond with "Can't we stop with the misleading partisan rhetoric and stick with the facts?
