Meh, fine. I'll stop. I just want all this freaking madness to stop. Perhaps I shouldn't have used such hard language. I just don't take kindly to being made fun of just because of my views, and because I can't properly defend them. I was under the impression that this thread was going to be civil. Then people started making snide comments. It didn't make me want to exactly be nice.

[jcmanson]

Understood, but you have to realize you're going to get some criticism regardless of where you post/write/say what you believe. It's how you respond to that criticism that defines who you are as a person, and from what we've seen on these couple of threads I'm not impressed.

Well here's my formal apology. I'm sorry. I hope we can keep this civil. I'll defend my side as long as people keep it civil when "bashing" it. You say you're not impressed with "who I am," well I'm not exactly impressed with other people on here, who have resorted to name calling, and using stuff like my inability to drive and not having a job right now, as ammunition.

[jcmanson]

I didn't say I wasn't impressed with who you are, I said I wasn't impressed with how you responded to the criticism received from others on here. I'm not taking up for them, some of them said stuff they shouldn't have. I only know you from what you have said on here and other places online. So I don't have alot to go on to really know who you are.

Who I really am is someone who's been to church for 15 years, and has fallen away several times, but have come back every time. This time, it's been a bit longer. My parents and friends always tell me to not worry about what other people say at church, and to go for God. It's good advice, but it's kind of hard to focus on worshipping God at churches, where you can hear people whispering bull crap about you behind your back, spreading lies. My husband I left our former church, finally, because more than one person was spreading rumors like the reason we didn't wait to get married is because I was pregnant, and that we both had dropped out of school, etc. None of which was true. Life is already full of drama... you'd think church would be the one place to go to leave it all behind. I guess I was wrong.

I'm a pretty nice person-- until you cross my path the wrong way, like earlier posts. I make friends easily, and get along with almost everyone. I respect differing opinions, as long as people know why they disagree, and don't just point out the invalidity of the opposing side. That's pretty much my only pet peeve. Well, that and people who act like they're better than everyone else.

As you've seen, I do have quite a mouth on me, but that's usually only when I get really mad.

I'm not a bad person... I just have bad days.

I'm sorry if I've offended you or anyone else on here. I never meant for this to turn into World War III via message board.

Is this some sort of Yogi Berra quote?

:?:

No. I just mean that if all someone can do is bash the other side, instead of defending theirs, then I don't respect them. I've talked to a lot of conservatives that disagree with me, but backed up why they disagreed, without trashing the other side.

EDIT: Dang you beat me...sorry I was unable to save you time

And to save yourself the time from posting how you're not a fraud I felt like I'd show you you're opening line from July 26

By: Michelle K. Miller
July 26, 2008

My name is Michelle Miller. I’m a 23-year-old sophomore at Liberty University.

The old saying Once a Liberty Student always a Liberty Student doesnt apply...unless your BJ




KIDDING BJ!

That's because I was still an LU student on the 26th. I didn't withdraw until August 1.

I"m going to have to call B--- S--- on this one. IT seems you would like us to believe that as of July 26th you had every intention of staying at Liberty University and finishing the degree program there. HOwever, you had an epiphany within the next 5 days that LU was not for you and started the process of paper work and trasnsfering to LC, even though that didn't happen. Now if you had known previously that you were no longer going to attend LU then you should have stated that you "My name is Michelle Miller. I'm a 23 year old former student at Liberty University". THAT would have taken all of the discussion off the board with regards to your integrity. Instead, and I think you can see the validity of their reasonings, it makes you appear as nothing more then a person who is wanting some shock value and longing for media attention. If you really were sick of the publicity you would not have stirred up the hornets nest (pun intended!)
Again I don't care if you are an LU student or not, I am just looking for someone who can cogentially defend Barry's position. INstead, this thread and the others are starting to turn into a "Poor Me" diatribe. I can only say, Suck it up and defend your candidate. By stating you are the Obama at Liberty (or whatever) orgaizer and NOT knowing who the Democratic chair here in Lynchburg does not bode well for you. Take some time, bone up on the facts and figures and let us know WHY WE SHOULD VOTE FOR OBAMA?? To wimp out and say that "Everyone has made up their mind any ways..." is ludicrous. Considering Obama support erodes while McCain support grows gives credence to this fallacy.
I look forward to your Obama insights. Less forward to insights on yourself

I think you're the same person I already told I was not going to list my reasons again, because it would turn into more ridicule and the vicious cycle would start again.

I don't care who the Democratic chair is. When I was in my leadership role, it was with the Obama campaign, and I reported back to the Organizing Fellow, Jason Perkey.

AND 5 days before my withdrawal, I was actually waiting on stuff to go through so I could finally do financial checkin (I always do this stuff at the last min. it seems,) so I could do DLP classes this fall.

Sorry to dredge this up, but wow, I knew this girl in 2008, but had no clue why she was always so angry. And now I know why, I never knew she did all of this.

Fortunately, she had a good taste in Christian Metal music. Plus she married into an awesome family, so hopefully she is doing better

And for the record, when I originally met her in 2006 at a missions dinner at my church, her political arguments were no more wise. She's always been a Democrat.
