Roiled

Well, I see I have once again roiled a nest of regressive Republicans. It does one no good to argue with such party zealots. All I can do is present the facts and let them pick at them with their Fox News insight.

First, my age, education and where I am from are none of your affair. I don’t know either of you nor want to know you. Peace of mind is hard to come by in today’s world.

Second, the costs of the Iraq War are well documented. Look in businessinsider.com or Reuters.com.

Third, Colin Powell renounced his UN speech as a blot on his record. Cheney, Bush and others in the administration decided to go to war long before Powell made that speech. They propagandized the intelligence data to suit their needs.

Fourth, the economy is flourishing. All of the key economic indicators show this. Go to Kiplinger.com or Bloomberg.com and see for yourself.

Fifth, The Washington Post outlines the number of bills that the Senate passed that await action by the House, some 300. They also outline some 300 bills passed by the House awaiting action in the Senate. Many are awaiting committee action. Grover Norquist and his no compromise pledge enlisted 238 out of 242 House Republicans to sign it and 41 out of 47 Senate Republicans to sign it. This was prior to the 2012 election. Now is that being recalcitrant or not?

The art of denial and diverting focus to something else is obvious by you Obama haters.

I have some pressing matters to attend to, have a nice day.
