Whitro McSwill commented on Julie's blog post 'Legislators and loopholes'

I am 100% sure that the secondary effects of alcohol are more damaging than even the primary effects of smoking. That said, I am a libertarian. And you brought up the "right" to breathe clean air, not me. In my opinion, smoking laws pass quite simp…

Whitro McSwill commented on Julie's blog post 'Legislators and loopholes'

Neil, if there were more money in it for a bar to ban smoking, they would have done so already, if they saw fit. I don't smoke and I don't eat in smoky places. I also don't tell people how to run their business. Jeff, under your reasoning, we shou…

Whitro McSwill commented on troutonafly's blog post 'a good solid B+?'

Honestly, your points are a simplistic recitation of talking points that could be heard on any right wing radio program. You post above said "commander in chief," implying his military position. Regardless, I simply cannot believe that there is any…

Whitro McSwill commented on troutonafly's blog post 'a good solid B+?'

What are your issues with his job? He has been, by all accounts, a pro-war president. He supplied the military with the troops they asked for and sooner than they asked for them. He has committed to "victory" in spite of so many of his supporters wh…

Whitro McSwill commented on Ron Moore's blog post 'How's Global Warming working for you?'

This is a new one. Apparently the relative position of weather recording instrument explain global warming. Priceless.

Hey, look! Ron wants the FEDERAL government to plow local roads. Ron, your big government ways aren't welcome.

Whitro McSwill commented on Ron Moore's blog post 'WOW WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK'

In all seriousness, Ron. What policy positions of Sarah Palin do you agree with. Her position on the bailout? For it. Her position on Iraq? Wanted out ASAP. Her faith? Her church is extreme, to say the least. What attracts people to her? I just do…

Whitro McSwill commented on Ron Moore's blog post 'WOW WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK'

Palin's disapproval is also 46%. That essentially seals her fate, Ron. My favorite going rogue quote: In her new book, "Going Rogue," former vice presidential nominee attributes a quote to UCLA basketball coaching legend John Wooden. The only pro…

They are paying for it. What is the problem? I would rather the industry be private rather than funded by taxes.

Whitro McSwill commented on Ron Moore's blog post 'HOW'S THAT OBAMA CHANGE WORKING?'

Ignoring the pettiness and the skewed stats, Ron brings up a good point. What to do about those who can afford healthcare but CHOOSE not to buy it (even for their kids). There are a lot of them. I am a little put off by the "big brother" idea of pun…

Whitro McSwill commented on troutonafly's blog post 'My Copenhagen Climate Summit Opening Statements'

Cite your stats, Ron. 1 percent? Why do you come onto a message board to lie? I really don't get it. Is it that important to you that a bunch of strangers know you are an ignorant blow-hard?

Good point, Neil. No political party has patented retardation. Yet.

Whitro McSwill commented on Ron Moore's blog post 'HOW'S THAT OBAMA CHANGE WORKING?'

Wait, you blamed bush for 9-11? Why? I don't even know any democrats who did that. And please cite your unemployment stats. As far as I can tell, they are outright lies. Not that it comes as any surprise...

Whitro McSwill commented on Ron Moore's blog post 'HOW'S THAT OBAMA CHANGE WORKING?'

Are you seriously blaming a president for Michigan unemployment numbers 10 months into his first term? Not to mention, you should cite your stats. 17.6% is high from what I can look up, and 8.5% is low. But coming from you, that shouldn't surprise…

I am no fan of pelosi or boxer, but they drive conservatives crazy. And they have actual power. Oh, come on, Mike. Of course it's not indicative of EVERYONE. Just like the Obama supporters wanting their government checks isn't indicative of every l…

BREAKING NEWS: Ron Moore ill-informed on Brazilian oil issue, poor speller.

It's a loan (not a gift), it wasn't from (or ordered by) Obama or Obama appointed officials, and not a single tax-payer dollar is involved.

http://www.factcheck.org/2009/09/bogus-brazilian-oil-claims/#

Let's congratulate Ron on posting an argument that took an entire twenty seconds of research to refute! Great job, Ron!

I'm new here...

I am not currently living in Northern Michigan, but was born and raised in Petoskey. I have to ask, are the comments offered by Ron Moore indicative of the tone of this website?

Thus far, I have seen everything from political hyperbole (death panels), to ignorance (Obama's supposed Muslim faith) to outright racism (reference to the First Lady's body type and calling the President "Gumby the Magic Negro").

I certainly don't mind arguments or talking points, but this is pretty offensive stuff, a… Continue

I said, "You seem to know the Liberal talking points very well.", So the inference is your own. As far as your policy statements go, I try to understand what I read and you came into this forum with an apparent chip on your shoulder over grammar and nothing constructive to add to any discussion here.
If you don't think you are paying for abortions, or that Medicare isn't already cut, or death counciling will not occur if this Obamacare fiasco occurs or that we aren't already supporting illegals with health care I'll just call You uninformed.
Not that I agree with every talk radio host, I will say that there are several worth listening to. Mark Levin, Bill Bennett, Andrew Wilkow, Glen Beck, Mike Church.

If You are just looking for an arguement to get into I probably won't participate in the way you'd like. As to your excerpt from Ron's post, there is nothing there that hasn't been discussed elsewhere in more detail than I'd put into this forum.
Read some history. Follow the money. All of the Right's arguements are based on the past record of liberal thinking. Most of our problems today are a result of changing the forefathers outline for this nation.

Welcome to 231 Forum, I see that You have taken a dislike to Ron Moores posts. For what it's worth Ron is more impassioned than most of us and seems to hurry his posts so he often publishes his typos. However he is possibly the most informed of any of us as to Right and Wrong, (Right and Left in my book). In the future I hope You will suspend your emotions and put some thought into Your posts.
