opps….sorry, I just relized that was an article from October.
WOW, FNC interrupted news about Michael Jackson’s death? Now THAT IS news-the interruption
–
Bear repellent: Hunting in Alaska they insisted we carry a .44 Magnum in a shoulder holster. Having hunters eaten by bears is bad for repeat business I guess.
If you ever get the chance HUNT ALASKA is fantastic-they say it is once in a life time but I am taking the two older grandsons for my repeat.
For those of you that haven’t heard yet, it looks like Duke has another rape case on its hand and this story involves all the favorite liberal victims groups rolled up into one. And it appears that this time there is sufficient evidence for an indictment compared to Crystal Mangum’s wild tale.
We have a white gay male (a tenured college professor) in a loving gay “marriage” with an adopted African-American child with the same prof admitted to molesting his son, and an offer to pimp the 5 year old boy for sex online.
There are reasons for sterotypes and the generally have more than just a mere association with the truth.
Check out Dr. Mike Adams column today for more information.

“This is Sparta!”
Have a great day everyone…I gotta go help clean fish.
Hey cirrus1701 (#13),
You are on the Wisconsin “No Fly” Fishing list. Obviously you have upset the liberals in Madison.
Today is my daughter’s eighteenth birthday. We already had our celebration as everyone is working and she will be going out with friends before we all get home.
Wow, can’t believe these years have passed so quickly. In the fall, she will be off to college and we will be empty nesters.
Ragspierre said of celebrity deaths:
The mortality rate is still 100%.
So is the re-election rate of the 20 CongressClowns on his other list.
So these young whipper snappers are always hanging out in the bait shop where everyday this old timer comes in with not only a huge amount of fish but fish bigger than anyone ever catches. Really rubs these young folks the wrong way every time they see all those big fish. Finally one day one of the young studs asks the old guy if he can go fishing with him. So the old guy says sure and for the young man to be at the bait shop tomorrow morning by 5 a.m.
Come 5 a.m. the young guy shows up, the old guy gets his boat and take the young dude out on the lake. They go way to the far side of the lake and drop anchor.
The old guy reaches under his seat, pulls out a stick of dynamite, lights it, drops it in the water, a few moments later, BOOM, all these really big fish float to the surface. The old guys nets em, puts the big ones in his cooler.
As the young guy is watching he exclaims to the old guy, “HEY, you can’t do that! That’s illegal!”
While the young dude is talking the old guy lights another fuse. He hands the dynamite to the youngster and says, “You gonna talk or you gonna fish?”
not missing the point, if anyone is missing a point it’s you. For one thing your “NO INCUMBENTS IN 2010″ is not going to happen. What is possible is keep the best we have, donate to the best by our morals and values not to the RNC.
Tell me how do a few “good” legislators over come the majority as you seem to think can be done with such ease. In short, IMHO we keep what’s good dump the rest and fight the left as hard we can any way we can. Personally I’m sick and tired of taking the high road to the cellar.
Your confusing me, you say “dump ‘em all”then say this about Michelle Bachman…”The Michelle Bachman’s would probably survive anyway and if they don’t, 2012 is not far away. For lack of courage to take down their corrupt leadership, they will go down with the ship.” Just how do you figure she’ll survive anyway? Should she change her party affiliation, how will she survive if she doesn’t run under the Republican banner? Are you saying she should run as a Republican in one breathe in your next breathe say she’ll survive, where and how?
That’s a gamble I’m not willing to take.
I’m concerned about her and her type surviving in congress and building from there…not about her surviving in some other field of endeavor and lose her and others as a fighter for a conservative America.
I’m going to finish this from my side with “boot “em all out” and “I won’t vote for the LOTE’s”…that got us along ways in the last election didn’t it. There was a poster on this site, sorry, can’t remember their id, who was adamant about not voting for Juan McShame, well, that worked out quite well. I voted for the LOTE’s after Gov. Palin joined the ticket, giving me hope she would or could be a big enough influence on McDuff. If McDuff would have won you can bet the country wouldn’t be where it is and where we’re headed now. Too all the non voters last election I certainly hope they feel good about the hand they have in destroying this once great country and hopefully will return to it’s past greatness.
To PP, tks for the exchange.
With mine, it seemed once they hit junior-high, it was like they were on roller-skates. They were on the way out the door, and they just gather speed until the event.
Dirty laundry serves as a “patch”, though, so you don’t have to go cold-turkey…
It’s been several years since we went off shore in the gulf at Port Aransas, TX. We had our own boat and would go about 40+ miles at the rigs. Boy, was the fishing good! It is so much fun to catch something that pulls as hard as you can. We got amberjack, red snapper, tuna, grouper, kingfish, dolphin (the fish), shark, many others, and sometimes hooked something that would break out 50lb line. If you enjoy fishing, please try a gulf trip.

Ah, yes. The classic DuPont spinner…
R we suppose to hold hands and sing the “Cats in the cradle…”?
It’s gonna be 108 in Vegas today. I think I will crank the hell out of my AC today while I still can without mortgaging my house.
I hope someone does understand the problem with throw them all out and elect new ones is that does not address the fundemental problem of the mind set that says our lives are determined by the government so just elect the “right” folks and we’ll be okay. That is how we got here in the first place.
We fix this mess not by making sure we elect the “right” folks to do our bidding in Washington. That mindset leaves the problem in place. The Federal government running our lives. We won’t object because with “our” guys in there, they run it the way we want.
You see the problem is a too strong federal government. Just because the “right” guys are there does not fix the problem. In fact that is how we Republicans ended up having a party that is basically Democrat lite.
The problem is US, its that WE need to wake up and get active in the way we want our country run.
JV…
We just admitted a patient who is still using a swamp cooler and has 10 cats. I’ll let you imagine what that smelled like.
Same here with the empty nest. Just spent Friday in “parent” orientation learning how broke I am, while my daughter was off learning what to expect and what is expected of her. I remember just yesterday, taking the training wheels off her bike. She never looked back.
True that.
Or, as I put it…
The problem is in the gears of the machine.
We have to break the machine.
My father, who really should have known better, installed a swamp-cooler in our house in San Antonio.
He finally relented when the mold obscured the pattern on the wall-paper…
Anyone else buying beans & rice? (SERIOUSLY!)
“We have to break the machine.”
Gee wonder why the left wants to label the right as being inciting violence?
We don’t need to break anything. We need to make the machine work as it is suppose to work. The form of government our constitution envision assumes citizen involvement. Take citizen involvement out, the government drifts as all governments do into being too powerful, too costly and too invasive.
We need to make the machine run as designed. We don’t need to break anything.
gunslingerpatriot–you must have read it wrong: If they are Liberal, Gay and it involves pedophilia what you have is an “Alternative life style in a loving family relationship”. You don’t watch Alan Combs?
Personally I would hang child rapist-straight or gay- but with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Ginsburg a cheerleader for child sex I guess we won’t see that happen anytime soon.
The original design of our government was broken LONG ago. Or didn’t you notice…?
Yeah. We certainly do. You can’t correct the corruption of our system. You have to break the existing system, and reimpose the original design.
Otherwise, you are just applying a band-aide to a systemic organ failure.
See?
I heard Bob Uecker tell that story on the Tonight show. Bless his heart, he could tell a good, entertaining bull story. He told it from a first person perspective, with him as the younger fisherman. The older fisherman in the story was some sports legend, I forget who. Variant: Uecker is astonished by the other guy’s initial action. “I said, ‘I can’t believe you, a man famous for sportsmanship and fair play, would do a thing like that.’ So then he lit a stick and handed it to me.” Audience laughs. “I caught eight on my first cast.” Audience laughs harder.
I find this link appropriate for a Sunday thread and regarding the matters of life and death, for those of faith, you may find it helpful

We head to San Diego in July for all that good stuff. I know about the broke part. Being an out of stater, she got nothing in the way of aid so we will be footing the bill with loans. Of course, in the paper this morning California won’t be giving any of their in staters anything either.
Thank God my son goes to Pepperdine. They have a good endowment and have covered his costs pretty well. She benefits too because we would never have been able to get the loans we need for her if we had been paying out for him.
Lots of people here still use those things. I guess since the humidity is low they can be effective.
My neighbor has been living without her AC for awhile now. Thankfully for her it’s been pretty mild here. But, that’s over now. Summer is here with a vengeance.
Currently have stashed two 25lb bags of rice and two 25lb bags of beans as well as salt. One thing I need to get is the stuff you use to purify water in case the water treatment centers are no longer working.
YEAH Yeah yeah! I just read that Irans tyrant Achmydinnerjacket said that Obama is harming relations between Iran and the US, but I don’t believe anything their tyrant says any more than I believe what our Baby Tyrant says. They are of the same cloth.
Somebody please tell me I’m wrong!
Or yes, for quite a few years now–learned my storage technique from the Mormons here–they have been doing it for generations. We built a pantry-the canned goods we rotate out. As far as dry goods-beans, rice, potatoes and such you need the find the storage procedures that work best in your circumstances. I hang them in bags so they do the touch the floor or walls. Keep them dry and they last.
Try and find a group or source in your area that promotes E-storage. What works in the rather dry desert Southwest may not work in the snow belt.
If you stock up on bottled water be sure and rotate it out. Here is a trick for water filtration kits Emergency or camping:
Before you pour water into a filtration kit run it through two coffer filters-twice-4 filters. That will save your expensive filter membranes.
You are doing the right thing-hopefully never needing to–there are literally dozens of ugly possibilities-natural or man made. Check with local hardware or hunting supply stores for ideas-local is the key.

Anybody bid on BHO’s Kenyan Birth Certificate on ebay?
Waitaminute. That came out all wrong. I think our Baby Tyrant is wrecking relations all around the world.
Agreed.
Rags, you are absolutely correct.
I noted on the Sunday talk shows, the pundits, democrat and republican alike were talking again about how the republican party has to change if it wants to win.
Remember this, the party is based upon uncompromsing priciples rooted in conservative idealogy.
If you give up those principles, you are no longer republican. The NRCC and the NRSC both support candidates for office who have given up those principles. They no longer deserve to be funded by true conservatives and republicans. We need to with hold our political donations.
Republicans may very well have to take another bath in 2010 for the party establishment to understand to get the support of the people it represents back, it must return back to the core principles.
If we choose to compromise with the party establishment, and give into them, then the party is forever changed. We may as well just call ourselves democrats. Because it is democrats that change their core principles like chameleons to suit their political aspirations.
“Yeah. We certainly do. You can’t correct the corruption of our system. You have to break the existing system, and reimpose the original design.”
I will pray for you to regain some hope and abandon your defeatism. I apparently have more faith in my fellow Ameican conservatives than you.
Billy May was on the US Airways flight yesterday that had a rough landing due to tire blow out. Looks also like US Airways is already saying there can be no connection.
Well if Mr. May was cooking some kind of aneuryism the bouncing around may have contributed to his death. Very speculative of course. But the two might indeed be related.
“…you are just applying a band-aide to a systemic organ failure.”
Returning to the government as designed and intended by our founders is a band aid solution?
Ok, I’ll take the band aid please.
I don’t think the country can take another bath, if we conservatives don’t make any significant headway in congressional numbers in 2010 there won’t be anything to wash.
jsmiddleton4, I’m in line right behind you for my band aid.
Hmmm.
Michael Jackson – dead at 50.
Billy Mays – dead at 50.
Seems like life expectancy has dropped a tad under the Obama administration.
First of all if the Repubs want to win YOU need to get out and become involved by becoming a PRECINCT CHAIR because THAT is where all the “who is going to be the candidate” decisions are made. There are precinct vacancies EVERYWHERE.
Then I think EVERY Repub candidate needs to sign an oath to committ to first principles including fidelity to God, family, country. I am so TIRED of the “Good Guy” Repubs succumbing to their little brains I want to spit.!!
Which brings up cleaning out the house including the “good” ones—everybody thinks their guy/gal is a “good one” hence we get the same crap over and over. Want to make an impression and prove who they work for?? VOTE THEM ALL OUT!!! The good ones will understand and will stay with the party and help improve the party or we don’t need them anyway. If they want to take their football and go home then goodbye you weren’t one of us afterall. You can vote them back in 2012 if you think they are still wonderful and they are still committed. Take Michelle Bachman–do you think for a minute that she will just go home and bake cookies? Not for a second–maybe she’ll run for Senate (there’s an idea) or gov. or just travel her state and support the process so that this kind of usurpation of the Constitution NEVER happens again.Do you honestly believe that you can’t find one more person just as committed as she is in Minn??
It’s all or nothing–they all go or don’t bother. I would suggest that it would behoove the current good guy incumbents to find someone they can get behind now. IF they are real protective of their “seat” then I also suggest that they are only in it for the glory and are not in it to SERVE the people and isn’t that the basis for this mess in the first place–not listening to their constituents??
Some lacky in Gabrielle Giffords(D-AZ 8th Dist.) office in DC Friday told a friend of mine–who actually managed to get through–that they “didn’t care what the constituents thought” where do you think she got that idea??? Democratic party (wink,wink) rules. Diane Feinstein said the same thing on the floor of the Senate–think its a coincidence or policy???
Like I said “VOTE THEM ALL OUT OR DON’T VOTE AT ALL”
Sorry for the rant but that fiasco on Friday really pi$$ed me off!!!
I don’t know how we’re going to put the toothpaste back into the tube after it’s been all squeezed out.
How can you go back to the Founders with a bloated bureaucracy that is the US government?
The Left owns the media, academia and entertainment. How do we combat that? Especially since most Americans are snoozing at the wheel – Wheel of Fortune, that is. Most are unaware of what just passed in the House because they are paying attention to the death of a has-been. In other words, half of this country is complicit with big government via apathy if not outright support – so how do you change that?
I don’t think it can be done. That’s why secession is sounding more and more sensible to me. Cut off the gangrene so that the healthy can live. I’m all for considering migration to red states and pushing for a new union.
found this at S&L-
The Environmental Protection Agency may have suppressed an internal report that was skeptical of claims about global warming, including whether carbon dioxide must be strictly regulated by the federal government, according to a series of newly disclosed e-mail messages.
Less than two weeks before the agency formally submitted its pro-regulation recommendation to the White House, an EPA center director quashed a 98-page report that warned against making hasty “decisions based on a scientific hypothesis that does not appear to explain most of the available data.”
agreed.
Well my yahoo nascar fantasy racing picks haven’t been going so well these past 4 weeks. One of my drivers that I picked this week just crashed. Before these past 4 weeks, I was in the upper 1% of 780,000 or so racing participants. Now I have dropped to 94% and will continue to still drop. This is really depressing on top of already being depressed about that joke of a vote in Congress on Friday. ACK!!!

Nobody who has read one of my posts could see me as a defeatist.
I defy you to find one post where I have advocated violence respecting our government, as you implied earlier.
I am the guy advocating peaceful civil disobedience, in case you missed it.
If I were not faithful that others in America would come to my point of view, and hopeful for the outcome, I SURE know how to go the “war-path” route. I am stepping out to peacefully effect the changes that can only come from a RADICAL (Latin root radis=”root”) revision of our present state of government.
Nobody is going to restore our system by Civics 101. The changes have been too drastic, and are now institutionalized.
I appreciate your prayers; I’d be more grateful for your understanding and support.
See my reply to rightwingmom. There are dozens of neat kits and purification tabs. Do not count on boiling unless you have a BIG area to keep lots of gasoline or propane. Ten or more cases of bottled water makes a good start–rotating it out time to time.
Michelle hangs out the sign:
I went new, clear fishin’ wayback years ago, myself. That was before I found the joy of making bad puns.
And defending pedophiles.
atheling, if you feel the need to go off the deep end at least try to keep the bizarre rantings in the correct comment thread. Unless that is too terrifying a prospect.
The last time a commenter went nuts abusing his status as a guest in Michelle’s house and got booted out, it wasn’t a pretty site. I also tried to reason with him and bring him back to reality before the booting, but sometimes people just have online nervous breakdowns. It was sad, since he wasn’t an evil guy, just a bit obsessive and a little full of himself.
Just a word to the wise.
They work fine in the desert climate. The weather channel says it’s 104 here in good old Cal City at 2:14 PM.
My swamp cooler has the house cooled to 77 degrees. In the business lingo that’s a 27 degree delta T. Not bad at all. As long as the humidity is low you can’t go wrong with a swamp cooler. The savings in electricity is just the icing on the cake also. My last electric bill was 23 bucks. Mind you I am single so that makes a difference also.
I want to see anyone running a forced air system with one that low. It’s not going to happen.
Check out this site for lots of good info on how to survive in crisis. Lots of links to good sites from which to purchase things also.

I would rather show my lack of knowledge right now than my ignorance later when someone else asks me what Cap and Trade is.
What actually is it? Would someone kindly give a brief explanation and I’ll check back a bit later.
Thanks so much.
First time I saw a swamp cooler was when I visited Washington (state). I don’t think they were/are too common in Minnesota, so it was sort of an oddity to me. Did the job just fine, though.
And we’re told this is a normal relationship and our tax dollars need to support this… oh, and also give up our religious liberties and everyone’s free speech rights. Everyone please look out for the hate crimes bill that’s in debate right now and feel free to contact your elected officials. This is not getting enough air-time as it should.
Liberals…can’t live with ‘em, can’t kill ‘em.
Conservatism and republicanism are not mutually inclusive.
Declaring carbon dioxide (CO2) to be a dangerous pollutant, then regulate anything that belches CO2 (which is everything that creepeth upon the earth because we are all part of the carbon environment we call life).
Bottom line – if it’s carbon (which is everything on our planet), it gets taxed until it lives no more. A source for tax revenue. All production will move over seas. Energy of any kind will end up with a HEAVY tax. Gas, electricity, transportation costs, food…you name it will, most likely double in cost for anyone who is a consumer.
Our cost of living will increase by 100% in less than 10 years.
Government, crooked politicians and special interest groups are the only ones to benefit.
The earth is not getting hot; the seas are not rising; the polar caps are not melting.
Polar bears are good in a stew. Ask Sarah Palin.

#142 shooter:
MM wrote about that suppressed EPA report in her syndicated column last week; then she blogged it early Friday:
EPA plays hide and seek; suppressed report revealed.
do tell, who was it?
# 154 CC,
Do a search, on:
“cap and trade”+”enron”
1. Copy the phrase above (including the quotation marks) and paste it into your favorite search engine.
2. Read some of the articles that your search returns.
2(a). And you will understand.
We are being lead to believe that anything that produces and releases CO2 is a polutant.
We are told that CO2 is wrecking our environment.
We are all carbon based organisms, along with living in a carbon based environment.
CO2 being a pollutant is a hoax. It is a vehicle (and ignorant excuse) to regulate and tax.
Anything that may exceed its governmental set limits on CO2 release will be ‘capped’, or an option to ‘trade’ off those potential limits be paid to someone else who is under their limit.
The great ponzi scheme – brought to you by the liberal Democrat Party.
Re-distribution of wealth…mainly to our benevolent government.
exactly right. they are not.
Anybody remember that old saying “anything that moves they’ll tax“?
Well, it’s here, and called Cap & Trade
I’m also interested in who it was that was banned…I haven’t seen a few names lately and the one’s I’m referring to were not out spoken lefty trolls either.
Swamp coolers, evaporation coolers whatever you wish to call them work great here in the southwest right up to the high humidity. When I was a boy air conditioning was simply out of the question for most people. When the humidity did get high, generally August, you turned off the water to the cooler, brought out fans and sweated through the summer rains. My parents never had AC until I bought the house next door and moved them in. My poor mother got pneumonia the first year-Oh lord I never heard the end of it.
But back in those days we knew better than to build a house with westward facing windows.
I try to avoid getting into the personalities, Cheryl, so I’ll just say think something like “Feline Republican”.
Didn’t start out as a bad guy but became a major PITA and couldn’t handle anyone who disagreed with him – ranting, foul-name calling, going through diff comment threads trying to get people “on his side” so they could fight some imagined “other side”. Incredibly childish and silly.
When Michelle booted him she said “Get your own blog”.
As I said, he wasn’t basically a bad guy, though. At least for awhile.
We all have lapses of judgment, but most off us know ya just blow off such things and move on. Disagreeing with other folk’s opinions (esp. on the internet,lol) should be the worst thing that occurs in a person’s life!
Yes, please tell us who was banned. The one I’m thinking of went on and on and on and on……….
AZ #121-I stopped watching AC the moment he began to become a little too friendly for the new black panther party last year, and his failure to support MM after the racist diatribe she was subjected too by Malik Shabazz.
Honestly I thought AC had already died at the same time Majel Barret Rodenberry did last year. (She was the Orignal XO during the ST-TOS Pilot Episode with Captain Pike, and later on Nurse Chapel and the computer voice for ST-TNG/DS-9/Voyager and several of the movies)
jangar #156-Good point and thats why my local congregation is prepared to bail out our Pastor out of jail when he’s arrested for preaching about homosexuality and the Bible.

If it was about who to vote for last fall, then it’s probably who I have in mind, Ma.
If you add the “Mr” title to the “Feline Republican” hint, that might ring a bell.
Thanks, purplepeep.
It was the pedantic bore I was thinking of.
The fact is, that CO2, carbon dioxide, is a plant fertilizer. It is a necessary component for photosynthesis, and also necessary if anything that breathes is to live.
I have been adding CO2 to my aquarium for over seven years to make my plants flourish. You can actually see the plants giving off oxygen as it forms on their leaves. It is not a pollutant, but like anything in excess, can cause problems with some plants in the Cryptocorinae family.
It is a lie to say that CO2 causes a greenhouse effect. It does not. The primary cause of the greenhouse effect is water vapor…the CO2 comes later. The myth is a convenient lie for pseudo-ecologists trying to enrich themselves by creating a “crisis” where none exists.
Cap and Trade will do nothing but enrich the perpetrators of the lie, and those in office who enable this theft of American wealth, security, and liberty. Is it treasonous…we’ll see?
Hey…I’ve decided to start a new blog, entirely devoted to “cap and trade.” It is The TRUE Cost of Cap and Trade” and will dispel all the myths and lies coming from Obama et al and – hopefully – help prevent this monstrosity from making it through the Senate.
I need YOUR help, MM readers. Please e-mail me stories, specifically related to the costs of cap and trade, as well as any related news.
Thanks!
Oh, I dunno, gunslinger. Do you remember when the USSR first collapsed there was talk about Russia seling off Lenin’s preserved body? Rush thought it would be a great idea to buy the him for display at the EIB studios as a constant visible reminder of the folly and the ends of communism, And, of course, the glass box he was in could have been great place to set Rush’s see-gar humidor and maybe a few plants & knick-knacks.
Just think of LGM as our Lenin-in-a-box.
Yer welcome, Ma. I don’t mean to be too cryptic. But I really do hate “comment board politics & Olympic Urination Competitons” so you could say the ‘Cat’ has my tongue.
guess i’m slower than most, blame it on my age…who was it, you can’t be sued for mentioning his name…can you? Just don’t say you hate ‘em, is that ok now? (little jest), I remember someone that fits the description but can’t get the name…the hunts don’t help me, geezz I am getting bad…
Helllp!!
LOL!
like everything else as of late going on in our great country, 5 judges decided co2 was a pollutant…looks like the consensus by these legal eagles makes it a law of nature now.
Little Ma, you have the name, whisper it to me and if you ever need carbon off sets, me being single will have plenty to trade and I wouldn’t forget how you helped me out.
I almost looked like a politician in my last post…started feeling dirty.
Purple – I was afriad it was Chap. I haven’t seen him post of late, so I was concerned for him. Other than that, I’m not going to spend much time even trying to guess. If someone was banned, then they needed to be. As far as the comment from someone about lgm – I don’t want him to be banned. Just because we disagree with him is no reason to ban him, imho. He adds some comic relief, but in truth, he provides a window to the extreme left. Not a pretty sight, but we need to take a look now and then.
So get elected and you’ll feel better, RIR.
Being the kinda groovy cat you are: y’know – conservative, I’d vote for ya, Mr.
(Dang, now that should be enuf not-too-cleverly hid clues, lol)
Some folks prob are angry it wasn’t, hahaha. I suspect Chappy is just taking some time away. I don’t know about you, but I know I do that sometimes, esp. when real life intrudes and there are other things on the plate. I don’t think Chappy’s a bad guy, just usually wrong
LGF –
And it saves time from going to Kos to see what the latest scuttlebut in the looneybin is, too!
I agree that I think it’s good to try to avoid becoming a mutual adoration yes-men society.
But if there are too many lefties and they are acting like jackasses, then boot ‘em. Since this is a conservative site, conservatives should feel the comfortable majority.
But, too, in my thinking, anyone who consistently acts like a total jackass, disrepectful of Michelle or fellow commenters (not just venting in a comment or two) should get the boot – no matter if he’s far right or far left or any point in between.
I think the Duke gave a good guide for personal conduct:
“I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people and I expect the same from them.”
(John Wayne in “The Shootist”)
Purplepeep #175-Interesting analogy, but if I want a reminder of liberal lunacy all I have to do is look at my plaque of shame from Naval Hospital Corps School in 2005.
Its made up of all the collar devices, and a gay pride flag (with GS-12 civ rank) of the indivduals that attempted to railroad three great staff members of a crime they didn’t commit. This is even dispite when a Bronze Star/Purple Heart recipient was caught fabricating evidence as well.

Purplepeep – Personally, the lefty’s have the MSM, both houses of Congress, the most vile websites on the internet (DU, Kos, Huffpo, Moveon). As far as I’m concerned I’d love to have a few places that are all Conservative, all the time. Sheeesh, I just don’t think it’s too much to ask.
But it’s Michelle’s house, so we do it how she wants. But in all the time I’ve been here, I’ve never seen the alphabetically challenged one ever add anything to the conversation. To the contrary, he seems to successfully high-jack every thread he posts in. He babbles something incoherent and the next 100 posts quote him and respond in basically the same way as the very first response to him.
I can see why Michelle keeps him around though, for every one post of his, there are at least 100 replies. That adds up to traffic count and great advertising dollars!!
MistressJustice collapsed into a massive psychotic heap one day and that was the end of him/her/it. Man it was surreal.
In the absence of lgm and chap, I will try to fill in.
Gone fishin’!?! What gives MM the right to air board cute little American fish without due process, or even basic aquarian rights? We thought we knew her…
Freedom fighters dying in Tehran, Incoming N Korea missles, Jacko…O Jacko, Happypants Sanford, Farrah, Billy Mayes one giant green tax for mankind, and now Michelle Malkin torturing innocent little fishes for sordid entertainment. I’m shocked, SHOCKED!
good job swede…lol
Cmon ya’ll know LGM and Chap are the same person. He thought he was sooooooooo clever. pfffffffft
Have you ever checked out FreeRepublic.com, Joy? Great place, I’ve been a freeper for quite a few years.
I agree that consistently hijacking threads to divert away from Michelle’s topic should be a bootable offense. Even if it weren’t disruptive, I consider it very disrepectful to MM. There’s natural topic drift that occurs, but that’s nothing. But the diversion attempt threadjackings are a big no-no in my book.
That was bizarre. I always tried to be respectful to her/him/it, as to try to do with most everyone. But when “it” exploded I had great good fun discussing it’s “sexual identity issues”!
A window on the Left….can we please ‘get er’ closed?
The true left hates everything they do control, and can’t control, and cannot help but try to control more, but cannot control themselves!
Unfortunately there is a large herd of people that follow the true left…the lost ones, mostly because they think its the “caring” side and the right is the uncaring side, and because they are too busy with other stuff to find out any different.
The rest of us are more informed and in general a lot happier than the left or the lost! We are presently less happy
because the left and the lost are breaking everything there is of value in our house like a bull in a china shop!
dadinseattle – On the half of lgm let me respond…
The reason for all present problems is
BUSH BUSH BUSH RUSH BUSH HANITY BUSH!!!!
And that would be a donkey in the china shop.
I’m sorry and angry to hear about that, gunslinger. It was in the late 70s that my eldest bro retired from the USA after 20+ years – even back then he could see it wasn’t shaping up to be this man’s army much anymore.
When Michelle first re-opened comments a few years back I think Rick Moran was Michelle’s traffic-cop/moderator. I had more than a few gentlemen’s disagreements with him due my perception he was showing too much deference to a lefy commenter or two. I’m talkin’ real PITAsses, not just opinions that upset me.
I remember when he replied to someone else’s complaint saying “I think it’s important that we hear the liberal view, too” – or something very close to that. I jumped in to ask Rick “What liberal point of view is it that you think we are missing?” (kinda snotty, I know). I didn’t get a response, lol.
(The lefty I had in mind did get the boot just a little bit later, though. Must have been even too much for Rick!)
I don’t mind a very few thoughtful, respectful dissenting on-topic commenters who can express themselves intelligently and rationally.
But I can understand that other folks wouldn’t miss ‘em one whit.
For those who are here solely to disrupt and troll, I’m on board with everyone else to request that Michelle show them the plank.
It’s a dirty job but somebody’s gotta do it!
Swede – Get with the PC PETA bandwagon… fish are now Sea Kittens!
Sheeesh.
Purplepeep – Hah! Yes, it certainly had identity issues…
Hej, swede, är du svensk?
Purple – And in my opinion, that was the mother of all meltdowns…
