    Have you ever noticed it is the liberals on the board who refuse to provide any evidence to back up their outragous claims? Zaac, Crabby, MP, and now the newby UOT.

    What I noticed is that you just dropped about five threads this morning and when you were engaged on one you were all of a sudden nowhere to be found. I think it is disingenuous to post an inflammatory or controversial subject and then cry "troll" at the first hint of discussion.

    I've wondered if Rev's congregation pays him to spend all day on the internet.

    One could wonder if your mom and dad want you to spend all day on the internet, but that would be out of line...just like your comment.

    It wouldn't be out of line to wonder if my boss pays me to spend all day on the internet.

    It would be out of line for me or RevMitchell to wonder that. It's perfectly in line for you to wonder it.

    Why would it be out of line for you to wonder about that? Is there any harm in wondering?

    However... if I tell you I'm self employed, that puts to rest the curiosity.

    Nothing wrong with wondering, especially if it's a brother robbing my other brothers. But that's the wonder of wondering

    Why not? Using the internet for research is highly productive.

    Besides, Lot's of good material for sermons right here. :thumbs:

    Instead of snipping and attempting to insult each other I really wich some would actually listen to the lecture and give a level-headed opinion of her points on what has happened economically to the middle class.

    Please!!!

    UoT, this is this hateful man's stock in trade Personal attacks and hateful comments toward others, all while making unsubstantiated accusations toward anyone that isn't a tea partier. What a fine example of a Christian minister.

    As to Warren, I would love to see her on the Democratic ticket in 2016, with Bernie Sanders. I don't care which of them are at the top of the ticket, but that would be a dream team.

    I like you, M.P., but if that's the ticket, I don't think you're going to like me. I haven't even started on her, yet.

    But you are always honest.

    Yeah, sorry M_P. I'm pretty sure Warren is damaged goods at this point.

    Bro. Curtis, we have agreed and disagreed in the past. I would not dislike you over a disagreement. As you should know, I am open to information that I may not know, so if you have verifiable reasons why she is a bad choice, I would definitely consider them. :)

    If true, that is not good. Not to justify it, but working as a lawyer years ago on cases doesn't necessarily reflect agreement then or now. I would like to learn more though. I abhor companies that use bankruptcy to try to avoid liability, e.g. the company that poisoned the water supply of Charleston, West Virginia a few months ago.

    I also am aware of the tenuous nature of her claim to Cherokee ancestry. While not verified, there are many folks from Oklahoma, Warren's home state, that do have undocumented Native American roots.

    If she does get on the ticket, you can be sure I will vet her, or anyone else, prior to offering my support.

    I also am willing to admit when I got duped by a shyster. For example, while I believe his political views were right for America, John Edwards disappointed me with the lack of ethical behavior during the whole mess with his mistress and the death of his wife. Denying the affair, denying the child, and deeply hurting a woman he ostensibly loved, at least at some point, while she was battling a deadly disease, disgusts me. I regret ever supporting him based on those facts.

    Yeah, his fall was a shocker.

    I think both parties should demand better behavior from their congress people.
