Libs beginning to get their own lies confused with the other. `My, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to decieve`.

#10…Never said a word about politics, Saunders…merely stated that hard work and fiscal responsibility sustained them. Freudian slip there, Sandi.

Gresham, the only childish insult was yours, of Texas Tavern. Really got to you, huh ?You equate the taste of a particular food to a long-standing restuarant to that of a `bus-stop toilet, and then tell the world that this is how `adults` communicate ?????? If you`re an adult, I don`t want to be one any longer….Cry me a river.

Is the place clean? If so, I’d be willing to try it.

At times! If you haven’t been you must give it a try. I have been eating there since I was 8, and I have enjoyed every visit I can remeber,

Politics has nothing to do with their success, longevity or food applewood.

How old are you Applewood?

Take a look at your comment, delivered with pubescent angst… “The Bullington`s have lasted many, many years through thick and thin…Hard work, fiscal responsibility…something a liberal surely doesn`t understand. Spend alot of time at Bus Station toilets, do you Gresham ?”

Now let’s look at how an adult would have phrased it: “The Bullington`s have lasted many, many years through thick and thin…Hard work, fiscal responsibility…”

There was no need for the childish attempt at insult you ended with, nor am I a liberal, as you assumed. I am independent. (Always.)

And if your zeal to find fault in others (feelings of inadequacy?) wasn’t so overwhelming, you wouldn’t have failed the reading comprehension, for what were my very first words: “Everyone fawns about the Texas Tavern,” which means I conceded my opinion is greatly in the minority at the very beginning. The toilet remark was humor, as in trying to cause others to smile, maybe even laugh. But in your pissed off world, that concept is foreign, because anyone different than you is required to be inferior.

Now read the other comments that immediately preceded and followed your comment. See how they both disagreed with me, particularly the latter, without feeling threatened by my opinion, nor stooping to childish insults. As far as they are concerned, it’s okay for me to have a different point of view. That is how grown-ups communicate, and our differences make the world more interesting, as well.
