alan..........I certainly did strongly react to being compared to or accused of being some sort of objectional person.........Southern Baptist....as if that is bad, although I do believe I understand the animosity behind what was meant to be slander I guess my age and experience has made me tire of people using shop worn straw man arguments thinking THAT will make some sort of intelligent point.

I read pokonee's post here:

Message 25630932

which was (I guess) trying to make some "point" but failed in doing so.

Is the point that the DOJ should spend it's every waking hour finding and prosecuting OBL instead of attempting to try criminals who break U.S. law? Is it that pokonee is angry that
Rejean Gionet may be extradited to the U.S. for crimes on its soil? Is it that pokonee is a supporter of Rejean Gionet? Is it that pokonee is angry that the supply of oxycontin has been disrupted?

Only taking the above link into consideration....I think it is that pokonee thinks that the U.S. DOJ are thugs and have no right to exist. I could be wrong, but who knows? Can't tell what pokonee's point is in any of pokonee's posts........well other than bashing PfP posters and our nation.

You see none of that is important any longer. I read each post here, and concluded when pokonee arrived that pokonee's objective was to slander, ridicule, denigrate, disparage, hound, besmerch and otherwise blacken the eye of America and Americans.

I looked and looked! I tried mind reading. I tried to read between the lines. I tried putting pokonee's posts together to form a more cohesive understanding, and the only conclusion I could come up with is that pokonee could not or would not deliver a well thought out opinion, and instead chose to resort to one or two line retorts and insults and provide links to how bad or wrong it all is.

In essence.............I attempted to politely request that pokonee shed the hatred and educate him/herself and try to honestly get to the main gist of his/her arguments in his posts.

I very much like, admire and support, generally........you too, but above all else my loyalty is to my family.....my tribe if you will (which includes not a few here on PfP .......and my Nation.
