If You Wish To Comment, Please Stick To Facts And Not Smears

Someone posted a comment that included the following:

"The republicans do nothing accept whine about birth certificates and whine about crumbs in the form of aid to those in need. This,"They're out to get us we need weapons", scam is what is destroying us."

So to the anonymous poster I would simply say this: Yes, there were "birthers",  but a) not all were Republicans, and b) everyone has a right to question anything about our leaders (like you on the left who kept whining about Bush and his military record). As for "aid to those in need", very little of the monstrous amount of aid actually goes to those in need. The vast majority goes to those in WANT. Big difference. Those in need consist of the disabled, the mentally impaired and, in some cases, TEMPORARY aid to those who suffer a temporary setback. It does NOT consist of drug addicts or drunks who CHOOSE not to participate in life, or to people who purposely keep having babies they don't want in order to beef up the amount of aid they get.

And as for your ,"They're out to get us we need weapons", scam is what is destroying us." --- well, the fact is that yes, we do have enemies, and yes, they are out to destroy us if they can. The PRIMARY function of our government, and clearly stated in the Constitution, is to protect us from those who would destroy us. If we had no weapons - or even inferior weapons - we would never have made it past the Spanish-American War.

So, if you really want to post comments, I encourage you to do so. But in doing so, please refrain from slurs, smears or unfounded assertions and accusations. Back up your comments with facts.

Thank you
