Hmm I wonder if I did a search for "water the tree of liberty" in the politics and news sub forum what I would find :sneaky:

How did you feel when Reagan faced an assassin?

I was 4. He was also the President of the United States. A Congressman/woman is a rep of a section of a state. Just because they go to DC does not mean that it's a "national tragedy" if something happens. Yes, it sucks(I have to repeat this since you people don't seem to get it), it's sad, etc etc. Sheesh.

you clearly didn't since you continued with your emotional whining. Meh, hopefully you'll grow up someday and realize that just because the media is covering it like it's "national" doesn't mean it really is.

How is calling you a soul-less fool "whining"?

Chill out dude, ease off your rhetoric and vitriol. I expect a round of applause when the President comes out on stage and all the proper respects, but what's the deal with people cheering throughout the ceremony? And at the end after he was offering condolences? It was a little weird.

Obama's speech was fine but I have to agree with you that from the first blessing or whatever that was to the end, there was a lot of cheering... I mean random cheering at stuff that had nothing to do with the tragedy really. It just seemed a little awkward and set a bad tone for me. I can accept some uplifting aspects to what is basically a solemn occasion, that's fine, but the amount of overall celebratory cheer came off as cheesy and sort of cheapened it. It's not a huge deal or anything but I had the same observation and I agree it was a little weird.

It is indeed a national tragedy because of the federal officials killed (judge, congresswomen), the venue itself (townhall itself exemplifies perfectly American democracy and 1st amendment) and the fact that innocent bystanders, especially a 9 year old girl, were killed.

Bottom line, you're a tard if you don't understand why it's a national tragedy.

lol, yep - then bring on the "national healing" then... messiah BHO will bring it to us all!!! 🙄 Nice narrative and all that but this doesn't affect anyone outside of those in the immediate circle of people there. If you feel it affected you - please do share how this was a tragedy for YOU. No, not that you feel it's tragic - share how it directly impacts you, your life, etc.

I agree, it's a national tragedy, well put.

I remember you to be a big proponent of BDS. Well, sir, you are blinded by your ODS.

why? I wasn't born. It was a national tragedy due to the fact that he was the President of the United States.

BTW, why the use of "assasination" in this particular case? Where is the murder/assassination line in your mind?

LOL - I love how he says it isn't about politics but then we have to come together and stop partisanship (IE Politics).

Any mention of politics surrounding this event is sickening.

The Democrats are trying to exploit this tragedy to get the GOP to tone down their message because they know its working.

The only people I see making this political are people who think like you. Republicans aren't the problem. Democrats aren't the problem. People like YOU are the problem. Everything you've ever posted on this board has been filled with partisanship and laced with hatred. So I'm going to be nice and simply respectfully ask you to shut up.
 
CADsortaGUY said:
lol, ah yes, the typical liberal response to logic and rationality.

Yes, failing to display emotion, compassion, or empathy is clearly the healthier response.

Let me put it another way that you will understand: your reaction isn't "logical."

And it's national tragedy because she's a member of Congress. Thats why.

Yes, people die and get murdered all the time but most of the time they aren't members of congress. When other people die members of their communities give speeches, it happens.
