I think we need to look closely at Lena and decide to cease reading and responding to her comments. First she tried to pass off a Snopes analysis as proving her assertions that actually revealed her assertions to be completely false and to refute it soundly. To her credit, among her present barrage of peculiar comments, she did admit that her parroting of this standard extremist charge was false. However, her admission that this charge against Obama was entirely false was imbedded in a rambling comment that was totally out of any reasonable bonds of reality. I list some of them below with my comments:
Both sides have an agenda. There are probably more than two sides. Sides have agendas or they wouldnt be sides.
The various sides exaggerate. I think we might all agree on that.
The Obummer label is an insult to our president and adds nothing to our understanding and working together to improve our country. It adds a lot to mindless hatred and nothing to reason, evidence, t***h, problem identification and problem solutions .
Obama has been disregarding our laws. What laws? We have our Constitution and its balance of powers to keep any one of the three branches of our government from disregarding our laws. Is the constitution not working? How and why is it not working?
Obama is giving my money to Hollywood. What?
Obama is giving my money to himself. What?
Obama is giving my money to Radical Muslims. What?
Obama IS a Kenyan. What?
Obama won the e******n through rampant v***r f***d. Did he win both e******ns through rampant v**er fraud? Why is it that no one has been able to produce ANY evidence of this rampant v***r f***d.
The t***h is he has forsaken our allies. What has he done or not done that would indicate he has forsaken our allies? Which allies? Allies against what or whom?
These are facts. Not by any accepted definition of the word, fact.
We have differences of opinion and that is good for democracy. However asserting things we know to be untrue, insults, and asserting other worldly factoids statements beyond belief to any reasonably informed and intelligent person - must be off limits if the exchanges on this site are to be anything more than an opportunity for cathartic release of our pent up rage.
I have nothing against Lena, but she appears unable to stay within the bonds of reality, common sense, and civility so I am no longer reading or responding to her comments and I encourage those who want this site to have some usefulness to do the same.
