AMonger... you bring discredit upon yourself when you make oblique references to Nazism and try to label other EO members with such language. Too often, Ron Paul supporters resort to over-the-top rhetoric when frustration gets the better of them. Ron Paul himself wouldn't use such tactics, but somehow many of his supporters feel they have a license to use extreme rhetoric. Directly or indirectly labeling nonsupporters of Ron Paul as being Nazi-like is foolish. This is why so many conservatives view Paul's followers as petty and nonserious. You hurt yourselves and your cause acting with such disregard. I am asking you to kindly stop these remarks.
What a dirt bag!!!!

I don't know what Turtle is thinking, but that's the definition of a troll.
One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument

I meant it more of saying, "Fall in line, soldier. The Republican party demands your allegiance."
Referring back to the subject matter of the original post:
"Do we want to keep giving those tax breaks to folks like me who don't need them?"
- Barack Hussein Obama

Obama: Tax the rich to help grow the economy

I really do not like to get involved when two esteemed members are going at it, but in this case I must.
We really must STOP any and all this calling the other points of view such names as Nazi's.
While I may not agree with a person on a specific issue, that does not make him or her a Nazi.
The Nazi's were and are PURE EVIL!!!!!!
Just because we see things differently does not make the other side evil.
We will get nowhere as a nation until this stops.

Please take note it is always the Ron Paul supporters using Nazi references towards other EO members. It is totally uncalled for, that's why I ask them to stop. Don't associate me with those tactics.

I told you what I meant by it. If that's not good enough for you, oh well.
Getting back to the topic at hand, and sticking with it without any more personal insulting, unless the rules have changed the person earning the money pays taxes on the money they earned. After they earn the money and they pay the taxes then they can gift it if they wish. The person receiving the gift is the one not paying taxes. In the case of the children that would be at the tax rate of pretty much zero so there isn't a huge tax scam going on. Provided things haven't changed in the many years since my daughters were recipients from their grandparents.

What the hell do you think you're accomplishing by calling people names? You're really showing off your intelligence... or lack of it.
Bye troll.

Hawk, It does not mtter what was meant. Using the term is uncalled for. I'm sure such a sharp individual, such as yourself, can find another way to make your point without resorting to this.
Thank you very much.

Meaning means everything.
The goose step is a feature of military ceremonies in dozens of countries, to varying extents.
[h=3][edit] Latin America[/h]
- Argentina
- Bolivia practices the waist-high form of goose stepping, even in military parades. This is made possible by using a slower march pace than other militaries.
- Chile uses the Prussian form of the goose step essentially unaltered.
- Colombia
- Cuba
- Ecuador
- Guatemala
- Honduras
- Mexico
- Nicaragua
- Panama
- Paraguay
- Peru
- Venezuela
- Albania
- Belarus
- Bosnia and Herzegovina
- Bulgaria
- Croatia
- The Czech Republic uses a very mild form of the goose step at honor guard ceremonies, with the foot raised only a few centimeters off the ground. It is not found during military parades.
- Macedonia
- Montenegro
- Poland inherited the goose-step after World War I from her former masters, Germany and Russia. It featured prominently in military parades of the Pilsudski era, and continued into the Communist era [SUP][1][/SUP]. Today, it is difficult to tell whether the goose step is actively used or not. It sometimes appears during military parades when officers seem to raise their foot higher and during honor guard ceremonies, and other times does not appear during these events.
- Russia
- Serbia
- Slovenia
- Ukraine
[h=3][edit] Middle East and Central Asia[/h]
[h=3][edit] East Asia and Southeast Asia[/h]
Soldiers of the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China goosestepping, 1943
A Chinese People's Liberation Army honor guard goosesteps.
- Cambodia
- China:
- The Republic of China adopted the goose step from its German military advisors in the 1920s [SUP][2][/SUP]. The practice continued despite American military aid and the government's move to Taiwan after its defeat in the Chinese Civil War. However, the goose step has become less visible recently, as the formal military parade on Double Ten Day has given way to a less ceremonial parade. The Chinese term for the goose step, 正步 (zhèng bù), literally translates as "straight march" or "upright march".
- The People's Republic of China inherited the goose step from its predecessor, as Nationalist troops trained in the goose step were absorbed into the Communist armies. However, the practice did not become universal in the People's Liberation Army until the mid 1950s, under Soviet military influence.
- India
- Indonesia
- Laos
- Mongolia
- North Korea
- Pakistan
- Thailand
- Vietnam received Chinese and Soviet military aid during the Vietnam War. North Vietnam had already begun adopting the goose step by 1954, when the victory at Dien Bien Phu was celebrated with a military parade in Hanoi. This practice continued in the united Vietnam.

I'm thinking that I know the difference between a troll and between someone who posts differing opinions backed up with a reasoned argument. This is not an Amway meeting - differing opinions are allowed. And they're allowed even if they are specifically designed to get under someone's skin, as long as they are debated and debatable.
There have been many examples here of where Obama has done something that was just OMG outrageous, mainly because it was Obama who did it, despite the fact that previous presidents, conservatives included, have done the exact same thing, and when that hypocrisy gets pointed out, people cry troll.
Frankly, people who use terms like Obumma, Pantload in Chief, King Putz, and all the other adolescent euphemisms inappropriate for intelligent debate are more guilty of being a troll than anyone who posts an opposing viewpoint with a reasoned argument, because the euphemizers are subsisting on raw emotion, which is what trolls live on.
Even this entire thread, where the president is called a "dirt bag" for doing nothing whatsoever wrong, legally, morally or ethically, is a troll (and could actually be considered SPAM for the "cause" link that was posted). Someone else's uninformed opinion was posted without comment (other than calling the presiden't wife a name, and how mature that is) and is nothing more than trolling in and of itself. If someone has an issue with Obama, and they have to call him names to make their argument, their argument has no credibility, no reasoning behind it, and very little intelligence to back up their position. They reduce themselves to the "I don't like it because I don't like it!" position, which is a very liberal thing to do. I do love a good irony.

No, it's not really a reasonable description at all. It's a fast and easy term applied fast and loose. It's used to make people not want to be that way, the same way other terms are improperly used, and sometimes invented to use in such a manner. Homophobia is a good example of an invented term to make people not want to be homophobic, in order to get them to embrace something atypical as somehow being typical. Unless someone is a Nazi, then they're not a Nazi, and applying references such as "goose stepping" to them is just absurd. Using that logic, every Ron Paul supporter is a goose stepper, as is every Romney and Obama supporter. The reality is, falling in line and supporting something has more akin to being in a marching band than it does being a Nazi, and marching bands were around long before the first Nazi.
