Earl Dixon SMH I hate to tell you this but OBAMA is following the law passed by Bush and the GOP loved that idea so the law sailed thru congress. Obama has to enforce the laws on the books or face impeachment, so what options does he have? Plus OBAMA has deporte...See More

Earl Dixon As far as the housing prices in Woodbridge that is call capitalism with a dash of Gentrification, meaning the developers price the new homes out of range so the poor will have to move elsewhere, the same thing is happening in DC. The wild life you mentioned doesnt trump money never has and it never will. Its okay to be outraged just understand the facts and not the talking points.

Kristina Marie The stuff you hear or think you know comes from the news when half the things they say on there are false or overexagerated. If he is following the laws then why is it last time the community/people knew what he was about to do and got it stopped now this time its hush hush so it was stopped and no one knew about it until now? Yeah Bush did make those laws then but Obama could make others and or fix it but instead he is creating more issues and making it a bigger problem. Voting is coming up so we will see what the people think and only two more years for Obama so that's enough time to make things better or screw up things worse.

Kristina Marie As for the wildlife yeah it doesn't trump money but when you have a wild cat in your backyard and your dog is dead near death who will you blame then?

Earl Dixon There is not a law in the land the OBAMA can change without congressional approval, that is the premise of a democracy, if he could wave a wand and change the laws that would be a dictatorship, just in case you havent noticed congress is not exactly cooperating, see Government shut-down, and womens rights. How is a cat or bear in your back yard a government issue? The county you live in approves those developers to build in whatever county you live in, the county gives them the okay to cut down tree and up-root the wild-life. Furthermore please explain this sentence last time the community/people knew what he was about to do and got it stopped what incident are you talking about?

(11,833 posts)If it were me, I'd reign the conversation toward something friendly and more personal, like what you have in common. Facebook is perhaps the worst forum in the world for arguing politics. It's a little better in person, after you've both established that you are human beings who can smile, laugh and not take yourselves too seriously. Just my opinion.

(16,038 posts)(If you disagree) with family. Some like to argue with family, not me, don't need the tension at family events and family cohesion is far more important to me than petty political disagreements.
That said, I get enough of these inane threads on my own fb news feed. ..

(1,185 posts)I agree with all of your comments, but here is the deal she is new to politics and being mislead by her libertarian cousins and elder's. She dips back to our side of the family only when she needs money other then that she never comes around. She prefers to hang with that guns nutz of the family in southern VA, rural area. For the most part i bite my tongue, but this is getting worst and somebody needs to set here str8 don't you agree?
