Thread Name: BS: Bush's complacency
Subject: RE: BS: Bush's complacency
Jeeze, some of you folks sure do get bent out of shape over trivial things.

According to my dictionary, the definition of bigot is: "a person of strong conviction or prejudice,especially in matters of religion, race, or politics, who is intolerant of those who differ with him."
To be truly fair, it seems to me that the Mudcat is LOADED with bigots. I would inclued: Amos, Greg F., Carol C:, Donuel, and many others.

Me? I do not consider myself a bigot becauses I AM tolerant of those who differ with me. I accept that those who disagree with my opinion of Bush have every right to do so. And I would defend their right to do so.

I like to jab Amos about "his" thread because I think it's pretty silly of him to assume that anyone remotely interested in finding articles and opinion pieces berating Bush are incapable of doing so themselves. Such information is certainly pleantiful and easy to find. I am well aware that Amos does not post the preponderance of the information contained in that thread but he almost singlehandedly has kept the thread alive by continuting to post the work of others. I don't quarrel with his right to do so, I just think it's kind of silly. I think, by now, everyone is well aware of the fact that GWB beat Kerry fair and square and in four more years those who want to see a Democrat elected might use their time more productively by working within the DNC rather than ride a dead horse. Just my opinion of course.
