A GREAT call on Rush Limbaugh's Radio Show

I know, just pointing out that I listen to him and DO NOT consider myself to be a dittohead.

Have a great Sunday,
BiR

 

By the way, what did you think about his statement last week that you cannot support the troops without supporting the cause? Do you think that is true?

 

I'm not Ken but I think he is right.

I was in Viet Nam and recognized it for what it was while I was there - a big mess! The more that civilians interfere with War and military actions the more confusing it becomes for the troops.

But I was still supportive of the troops and the cause and still am.

 

I disagree. I support our troops because they are willing to die for theor country. I support them because they did not choose the cause - they serve because the are soliders.

This is true whether I support the cause or not.

But the troops look at it differently. They're putting their lives on the line daily. If you don't think they should be there in the first place then they doubt that your support is sincere.

Agreed!

 

Agreed! </font>[/QUOTE]Disagreed! Utter Nonsense. You cannot support a soldier in the field unless you support the mission.

 

Amazing how quickly a opposing opinion can be judged as utter nonsense.

There are MANY who would express the view that one cannot separate the soldier from the cause as utter nonsense.

 

That's why we have opinions in the first place.

Opinions are what we think is right.

 

Hi hardsheller:
I am still waiting for you to answer my challenge to you in this very thread to give us the support for the claims you made about me. I couldn't help but notice that you still haven't done this, Pastor.

As for Rush Limbaugh's belief that you cannot support the troops without supporting the cause, do you remember the deployment to Haiti back in the '90's? I distinctly remember Rush criticizing the cause, with his famous statement that the army is supposed to "kill people and break things." He was very critical of that particular cause, saying that our troops were functioning as Welcome Wagon.

Perhaps Rush has forgotten about that. Like I said before, I was a HUGE Rush fan back then, and was in agreement with him. But now I see him for what he is...

Perhaps now you can provide that elusive proof, Pastor. You made the claims, it really is your responsibility to prove them.

 

BIR,

I told you that Lady Eagle told us that this thread was about Rush Limbaugh not each other.

Start a thread to defend your views and I'll contribute and that's a promise.

Rush was simply wrong about Haiti.

The anti-War protesters in the Vietnam era were wrong then and the Anti-Iraqi War protesters are wrong now.

 

hardsheller:

I am not going to start a thread that is confrontational in nature. It is pointless as these are closed every time. Besides, it is not up to me to provide a forum for you to defend your allegations. Besides: it is utterly foolish to expect me to "defend my views," especially given the fact that the "views" were never expressed by me - they were your accusations. Simply put, I never made those statements about my opinions, YOU DID.

So, I can only assume that I will never see you do this, Pastor. That is really amazing: you can simply make a claim about someone's beliefs and not have to defend it. That speaks volumes, doesn't it? I have asked you repeatedly, and you have failed to provide anything, other than answering my questions with more questions.

The fact of the matter is that I never made those statements, did I? You attributed opinions to me that I have never expressed. What does the Bible call that, Pastor? All you had to do was apologize for getting a little overzealous, and I would have left it at that. Hey: it happens to the best of us.

So, since you refuse to provide any proof for your contentions, and since it is not up to me to "start a thread to defend [my] views" when I never expressed those views to begin with, I will simply leave this for everyone to see. Additionally, I will not reply to you directly in any discussions going forward. Although I may quote something you said, I will address the point made, and do it in a very general way. Simply put, I don't really wish to converse with you. Thanks in advance for affording me the same courtesy.

No response is necessary.

Have a great week,
BiR

 

Yes, I agree with Rush on that. </font>[/QUOTE]Do you remember the deployment to Haiti back in the '90's?

Perhaps Rush has forgotten about that. I haven't.....

Regards to you, Ken,

BIR -
Why have Moderators if we're not going to do what they ask us to do?

BTW did you go to church today?

 

In the spirit of congeniality, I will respond to you one last time. Please re-read my post above, specifically:

You have made representations about me that were simply UNTRUE. By definition, we all know what that is. Since you will neither provide that proof nor apologize, quite frankly, I do not wish to discuss anything with you.

Yes, I did. Not sure why you are asking or what this was meant to imply. Nevertheless it really doesn't matter. There really is no need to explain this bizarre question.

In conclusion, there is no need to respond to this, hardsheller. I will not reply to you. Please note that I am being congenial: let's just leave it at that.

Have a great week,
BiR

 

BIR,

You kept calling me pastor so I thought I would simply ask you a Pastoral question.

Are you offended by that? If so I can offer some online pastoral counseling.

As far as the other matter - my apologizing to you because you've never said any of the things I said you had - I'm still trying to research that.

But I'm having a problem - my searches of your old posts will not bring up any that are over a week old. I have tried all my settings in my profile and nothing that I have found seems to make it any better. So I'm without the means of proving you right or wrong.

I won't apologize until I am sure that you didn't ever give the impression that what I accused you of is true. I think that is acceptable.

Now if you can give me some clues on how to adjust my search parameters to show all your old posts I'll be glad to continue my search of your old comments.

I'm really not a bad guy. I just refuse to be intimidated by someone who doesn't see that the tenor of an online conversation is sometimes more telling than the exact wording.

Or as Rush Limbaugh would say, "Methinks you protest too much."

 

No,it looks like you'd rather stalk hardsheller in threads that are already open.
