Monday “Where ARE You!?” Open Comments

I meant to check last night to see if an OC thread had been set up for this morning…but I was actually making progress on my paperwork and didn’t want to stop my momentum.

I hear TBO will be sounding somewhat Republican at his State of the Union Speech tomorrow night. This begs a few questions:
1) Really? I mean – really? Does he actually have the chutzpah to do this? Oh, I forgot who we’re talking about…
2) Why do the pundits begin dissecting his speech before he gives it? Who gives them the speech beforehand?
3) WHY is the speech leaked to media beforehand?
4) Do we really believe what he says?
5) Let’s set up a pool: How many RFU’s will we see during the speech?

I think I know the answers to some of these questions, but I know that the responses from this crowd are well worth gathering.

    I will not be able to watch the foul “O” defile the airwaves with his speech; something FAR MORE IMPORTANT is scheduled – I have the privilege of reading Scripture to the residents at the old folks home in Tomball. I may get a wild hair and set the machine to record the speech, but I would rather just read the breakdown here on Wed Morn.

    Bob420 made and interesting observation on yesterday’s thread about impairment vs BAC. Let me open by stating that I DO NOT ENDORSE DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED. I would like to point out however, that blood alcohol content is just that, a measure of alcohol in one’s blood, IT DOES NOT MEASURE IMPAIRMENT. The same blood alcohol, .08 for example, will dramatically impair some and not have any effect on others; further, on different days the same BAC will produce different levels of impairment in the same person. We need to look at BAC as an arbitrary number that really does not tell us that much, it makes more sense to better train the cops and let them use some discretion, like Bob’s neighbor.

    Here’s the SOTUS. Except for the first one, its the same one we’ve been hearing since Nixon was president:

    • I’d like to give a shout-out to Gabrielle Giffords. Can I get a whup-whup???
    • We must reduce dependence on foreign energy sources
    • We must create jobs
    • We must reduce the federal deficit
    • Can’t we all just get along?

    There. I just saved you an hour and a half of your time Tuesday night.

    Where else but Free Republic would you find a nutjob like this.

    I would prefer military government to the corrupt and pretentious “free” government we now suffer under. At least the military would jail—or otherwise eliminate—the reprobates that are causing our decline. Bring it on. I will support it emphatically!

    I would actively assist the imposition of military discipline on this country, since far too many Americans are lazy jackasses, who want a free ride at the expense of others. WORK OR DIE! That should be the national motto!

    America is in serious short supply of discipline. Military rule would fix our problems in a heartbeat: WORK OR DIE! Real simple. The military would declare open season on the liberal thieves, as a practical matter. “Imagine no more liberals … it’s easy, if you try… No Reid or Pelosi… We’ll send them off to die”

    Second target on the agenda—after the military jails the 545 corrupt A-holes now occupying office…

    The elimination of the thousands of useless bureaucrats… and after them, the lawyers, judges and university professors will all be shown the meaning of “manual labor”

    Then we could eliminate the media, which really needs to go the way of the dinosaur. They are as useless as tits on a bull. We have internet, we do not need the sh*thead primadonnas of the press

    Military government? Bring it on. I can hardly wait!

    At first I thought the poster was joking, then I read some of his other stuff. He’s the real deal, and exactly the type of insane idiot that would try to assassinate a politician, or open fire in church merely because political differences.

    This will sound trite, but some of them always win Hall of Fame signs in that Christmas decoration contest I mentioned judging in December.

    As a matter of fact, this was the first year that the Gay couple down the street really did their decorations up and they won 1 st Place. 😉

    #17 The only similarities are that both were raving lunatics. Politics have nothing to do with it, no matter how hard you try to make that leap. Your comments are increasingly nothing more than your own personal little War on Conservatives.

    Its hate speech, Bob. Pure and simple. You want people to hate, so you incite them with this kind of hateful rhetoric where you blame other people for the crimes of lone nutcases.

    I was wondering why the Democrats started a movement to sit all over the room as opposed to just in their own side of it.
    Obama wants the viewing public to see his supporters standing and clapping all over the place, not just in one segment.
    I don’t think there was anything nobler than that about it.

    It’s funny how I point out similarities between a couple of violently paranoid nutjobs who murdered people, and a homophobic fruitcake freeper, that thinks all libs, RINOs, and gays should be killed, and even wants the country to be run by a fascist military regime, and some of y’all say I have a “war on conservatism” and wallow in “hate speech.”

    I have no problem with conservatism. I’m tolerant of both wings of the political bird while agreeing fully with neither. I am intolerant of violence and authoritarianism.

    Here more from the fruitcake freeper.

    I will not mince my words: The only thing that is going to save America is when Americans get the balls to off these bastards, in plain English.

    The other things you posted are a waste of time and effort.

    You want this crap to stop? Them be willing to make these pricks assume room temperature… and get on with THAT exercise.

    Anything else is whistling in the wind and a waste of effort. This country is a s good as dead. We just do not have the honesty here to admit it. The only thing that will save America is a bloody civil war. Because, as long as the enemy lives, even if out of power, they will continue to threaten our liberties. So, it really does come down to literal survival—us or them… and I have no problem eliminating “them” from the equation—permanently.

    And then there’s this:

    I will have both the Rosary AND the the steel blade of a broad sword. The time is upon us to deal with our corrupt leaders in the most definite of terms.

    I would have no remorse at cleaving such scoundrels straight through to the marrow. Such end is fitting to their kind, and one which they fully deserve.

    The unflinching stroke of the Knight’s broad sword is the only true justice for these reprobate creatures.

    Pray for their souls if you choose… I rather them dead, and the sooner the better.

    Oddly, I didn’t see any commenters there tell the fruitcake he should get his head examined.

    Your inference implication, bobo, is that because another nutcase posts some idiotic rantings on an open comments conservative-leaning site he is representative of all conservatives. It’s a disgusting and slimy tactic that you seem to be employing more and more lately.

    Oddly, I didn’t see any commenters there tell the fruitcake he should get his head examined.

    And I didn’t see any of the commenters there agreeing with him. They ignored him. In fact, the only acknowledgment of his rant was one guy calling him out:

    How long would you support it if it was decided that you are one of troublemakers?

    Please show me my exact words that support your baseless and biased accusation. A little perception bias goes a long way. In some cases, it goes the extra mile and more.

    I never said anything close to painting all conservatives as kooks. Nor did I infer it. You and Sarge could not be more mistaken if you purposefully tried to be.

    Your inference, bobo, is that because another nutcase posts some idiotic rantings on an open comments conservative-leaning site he is representative of all conservatives.

    Please show me my exact words that support your baseless and biased accusation. A little perception bias goes a long way. In some cases, it goes the extra mile and more.
    I never said anything close to painting all conservatives as kooks. Nor did I infer it. You and Sarge could not be more mistaken if you purposefully tried to be.

    #26 Bob: As distasteful as it is, the guy you quote is probably correct; it will take a bloody civil war to get this country back on the right track.
    Problem #1) Law schools and the judges that eventually come from them who promote the falsehood that the Constitution is a living breathing document that magically changes its meaning to fit the times/whims of the judge (this is hardcore leftwing socialist/communist BS) created the mess we are in; instead of it being taught as specifically designed to LIMIT THE POWER OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT .
    A) The result is that we no longer have “rule of law” as now the law means what ever the judge says it means. See Marbury v Madison
    B) If the judge is a lefty commie terdnozzle like most of the D party, he can advance that agenda by decree and not by consent of the people or the rule of law because the rule of law no longer exists.
    C) the judges can rule that there are “rights” in the Constitution that do not exist, like the “right” to an abortion, or ignoring the rights that are clearly listed, like the right to keep and bear arms.
    Problem #2) The vote is open to everyone and there is very little control/enforcement to limit voter fraud.
    A) If you are on Govt Assistance you should lose your right to vote as you have an obvious and glaring conflict of interest. When the constitution was written, there was no govt assistance and you had to be a property owner to vote. These restrictions forced the individual voter to consider how the candidates position would affect him personally and how it would affect the community as well as the country. If is good for the individual but bad for the community/country it will eventually be bad for the individual as well. The founders understood this and that is why the property owner clause was there; those owning property tended to be much more responsible.
    B) IF there is no valid photo ID requirement, there is no control over the integrity of the vote and it begs for fraud. When you set up a system that is ripe for fraud you will reap fraudulent activity. This is a huge disadvantage to the responsible as they also tend to be law abiding. The lawless scum who would defraud the vote are overwhelmingly on the left and promote the above. I submit that if the voter rolls were purged NATIONWIDE and everybody had to re-register, in person with valid photo ID and you had to produce valid photo ID to vote, the D’s would never win another election.

    Many blogs prefer not to feed the izzie’s trolls because it just encourages them to rant some more and try to create angry debate and a reaction, kind of like a boy pulling a girl’s pigtails. Maybe … no, I’ll just leave it at that.

    If that isn’t painting an entire group as kooks, what is it?

    Thankfully, the Free Republic site is in no way representative of all conservatives. However, if your looking for kooks, you can certainly find some there with relative ease.

    So no, you and hamous are still completely wrong in your baseless and overtly defensive accusations. The homophobic authoritarian kook does not represent all conservatives and I never implied that he did. You are wrong. Get over it.

    #35 Bones, I have some doubts that our country, as dependent as it is on modern massively scaled agricultural technology and the crucial transportation infrastructure required to get food from the fields and pastures to the marketplace could survive another bloody all out civil war without utter chaos, massive loss of life, and a breakdown of civil society itself.

    I hope it doesn’t come to that. In the days of the founders as well as in the mid 1800’s, most food was grown or raised fairly locally. This is not the case in the 21st century.

    Here is a stem cell therapy I really like. There may be a viable application for stem cells after all.

    Stem cells should be the ideal treatment for fetuses with genetic disorders – their nascent immune systems could adopt the incoming cells seemingly without trouble. Yet these treatments have never worked. Until now.

    It is common knowledge red wine is a great elixir for good health. But I bet you didn’t know it could do this:

    When they tested the resulting materials for superconductivity, they found that the ones soaked in commercial booze came out ahead. About 15 percent of the material became a superconductor for the water mixed with ethanol, and less for the pure water. By comparison, Shochu jacked up conductivity by 23 percent and red wine managed to supercharge over 62 percent of the material. The scientists were pleased, if bemused with their results.

A visionary, he was, with a vision of better health for even the “regular folk”. I remember seeing him swim offshore when he was well into his years. He believed what he promoted, and practiced what he preached. He was a strong man in more ways than one.

    she noticed a young man fixin (means: “getting ready to”) to jump. She stopped her car, rolled down the window,

    and said, “Please don’t jump. Think of your dear mother and father.”

    He replied, “My mom and dad are both dead; I’m going to jump.”

    She said, “Well, think of your sweet wife and precious children.”

    He replied, “I’m not married, and I don’t have any kids.”

    She said, “Well, then you just remember the Alamo .”

    It’s funny how I point out similarities between a couple of violently paranoid nutjobs who murdered people, and a homophobic fruitcake freeper, that thinks all libs, RINOs, and gays should be killed, and even wants the country to be run by a fascist military regime, and some of y’all say I have a “war on conservatism” and wallow in “hate speech.”

    I have no problem with conservatism. I’m tolerant of both wings of the political bird while agreeing fully with neither. I am intolerant of violence and authoritarianism.

    Wow, a direct attack on a “conservastive” and the attack on liberalism is akin to conservative crazies. Mark down bob as a repetative king of unoriginality. (Psssst, Huffpost)

    Incidently, conservatism preserves freedom so I don’t know how to classify the person(s) bob pointed out other than very far-right fringe. Why bob places direct attacks exclusively on conservatives and then gets wee weed up when accused of attacking conservatives and conservatism is beyond my logic other than to bob, letting people do what they want with drugs and sex proclamations is the defining point of authoritarianism and conservatives happen to qualify as the loosers in bob’s mind. It’s not factual, but neither is bob.

    Two Cajuns, Boudreaux and Thibodeaux, were adrift in a lifeboat. While rummaging through the boat’s provisions, Boudreaux stumbled across an old lamp. He rubbed the lamp vigorously and a genie came forth.. This genie, however, stated that he could only deliver one wish, not the standard three.

    Boudreaux immediately blurted out, ‘Turn the entire ocean into Budweiser beer!

    The genie clapped his hands with a deafening crash, and immediately the sea turned into beer and the genie vanished.

    Only the gentle lapping of beer on the hull broke the stillness as the two men considered their circumstances.

    Thibodeaux looked disgustedly at Boudreaux whose wish had been granted.

    After a long, tension-filled moment Thibodeaux said, ‘Nice going Boudreaux! ……..Now we’re going to have to pee in the boat.’
