Unions. They also have the NLRB to extort money from open shops. Pay up or we will pursue that unfair labor complaint we filed. The NLRB says pay up, don’t pi$$ us off by making us prosecute this. Five months to go and we (two of us) may finally get the NLRB’s boot off our neck. Not sure what will actually happen then.

Obama wouldn’t be in office nor would he be able to do what he is doing without the groundwork laid by Lyndon Baines Johnson, the worst president in modern American history.
What about Carter or Nixon, you say ?
Yes, they were both bad, but Carter can’t take the title because he was so ineffective and Nixon for many reasons. Johnson was not. LBJ as the master manipulator of the legislative branch shoved through more massive, transformative (and destructive) statutes than any president could even dream about today.

Note to Sam Bass: Don’t mess with Texas.
Texas outlaw fatally wounded in robbery
July 19, 1878
On this day in 1878, Sam Bass was mortally wounded when he and his gang of outlaws tried to rob the bank in Round Rock. The Texas Rangers were waiting for them. The next day Bass was found lying in a field outside of town. He was brought back to Round Rock, where he died two days later. Bass, an Indiana native, had worked in a sawmill, as a cowboy, and as a freighter. He also owned a fast racehorse. After squandering money earned on a trail drive, he recruited a gang and began robbing stagecoaches and railroads. He died at the age of twenty-seven. -

T&P finally reaches Fort Worth, touching off celebration
July 19, 1876
On this day in 1876, the Texas and Pacific Railway finally completed its line into Fort Worth. Construction of the line had stalled just sixteen miles to the east, at Eagle Ford. Eager to reach Fort Worth before the Texas legislature could revoke its charter and withhold its land subsidy, the T&P hired Welshman Morgan Jones to complete the line before the legislature adjourned. Work continued day and night, while a little more than a mile a day of track was laid. A holiday spirit filled the town when Jones’s line finally reached Fort Worth on time. The success made the Welshman a local hero and marked the beginning of a new era of growth for Fort Worth. -

Today, Ryan Zinke, an ex-Navy SEAL and Montana State Senator, announced the launch of Special Operations for America, a political action committee dedicated to “the election of Mitt Romney and like-minded candidates.”
“Navy SEAL’s, Special Operations Personnel and Veteran’s across America have been outraged since Barack Obama conveniently took credit for killing Osama Bin Laden for political gain,” a statement announcing the launch of SOFA said. “The active duty military has no voice as they are forbidden to publicly engage in the political campaign process and it is career suicide for senior military leaders to speak out against the President.”
Mr. Zinke, who has frequently slammed the president’s handling of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, reiterated his criticisms of the operation.
“The President has failed and he is jeopardizing the safety of our troops, their families and our National security for political gain. Obama has exposed the identity of special operations units, leaked classified information, and limited the rules of engagement of forces on the ground,” said Mr. Zinke. “For those who have taken an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic, it is a call of duty to take back America from a Commander-in-Chief that is incapable of understanding the sacrifices that have been made for the values that have made America great.”http://politicker.com/2012/07/former-navy-seal-launches-pac-to-fight-obama/

Your mention yesterday of the Driscoll Ranch reminded me of my mother as a little girl. She was born in Robstown where my great-grandfather was a successful blacksmith in the 1920s.
My great-grandmother drove a huge Buick in those days and Wednesday was collection day. They would load up the small parts that would fit into the trunk while my mother sat on the front seat with a loaded Colt .45 revolver between her and my great-grandmother. They would then set out very early to drive to all the farms and ranches around Corpus Christi picking up cash payments from each place and delivering parts.
This was great fun for my mother who was only 4 to 7 years old at the time. The ranch women would always have cookies or pie made for her. If I recall correctly, my mother and great-grandmother would always arrange to arrive at the Driscoll Ranch at the end of the day because Mrs. Driscoll would have them in for a delicious supper. -

Creative Destruction, Chapter 3,976
3D Printing is not just for prototype creation anymore.
Watch out for this innovative process to turn manufacturing on its head now that the new materials are coming on line.But for years, the plastics and the metals that were used were just not robust enough to create a prototype that you could be proud of. They resembled paraffin waxes. They could create the parts, but those parts tended to be flimsy. Because the end product didn’t have structural integrity, the technology was really just for engineers who were creating a product in CAD and needed to see what it looked like in real life.
The revolution took place when companies like 3D Systems started designing radically new materials. (See the article Substance Before Form for more.)
They came up with nanocomposites, different blends of plastics, and different blends of powdered metals. They were then able to create a part that, if you held it in your hand, you’d think it was steel. You can throw it down on the ground against cement, and it looks and acts just like steel.and,
Six years ago the cheapest machine out there was $30,000, but most were $100,000. Today you can get a capable 3D Printer for around $1,299, which launched at the Consumer Electronics Show this year.
At that price, the marketplace opens up to individuals like us. It could be as soon as three years from now that people will have a 3D Printer at home to make toys, napkin holders, curtain rings, and whatever is needed. -

This will have a direct and quick impact.It’s pretty intuitive to apply this technology to the automotive and aerospace industries, and jewelry has always been a big market. But one of the most exciting areas is actually dental fabrication.
You might already have a crown that was built by a 3D Printer. Five years ago, that crown would have been made by hand—hand-sanded and hand-created. This technology is taking over that task. Now you go to the dentist, and you don’t bite into the clay anymore to make a mold of your mouth. Your dentist just wands your mouth with the 3M wand and makes a digital file of your mouth. It happens instantly, and then the dentist teleports that CAD file and has the implant at his office the next day. -
It happens instantly, and then the dentist teleports that CAD file and has the implant at his office the next day.
And hopefully the cost of a crown will drop from $1500.00 to just a few hundred.

On Thursday morning, Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov said the attack was likely carried out by a suicide bomber who detonated as he boarded the bus. It was previously thought the bomb had been in a suitcase placed on the bus, or in the luggage hold or affixed to the vehicle.
The suicide bomber was reportedly carrying an American passport and a driver’s license from Michigan, both thought to be fake, the Sofia News Agency reported.
In a security video released by police, the Caucasian man is seen walking around the premises for at least an hour, dressed in sports attire, the agency reported.
“He looks like one of us,” Bulgaria’s interior minister said.
The American security agencies FBI and CIA joined the investigation into the attack, along with Israeli and Bulgarian officials.

At this very moment, I am writing a letter to the city regarding an error on our recently acquired occupancy permit. For some reason, and for years now, HCAD and the city of Houston have failed to recognize that we sold two lots years ago, that new addresses have been assigned to another lot we own, and that our business address is NOT the two vacant lots now in the possession of another man.
This crap has been going on for years, and we are STILL having problems. When I picked up our certificate yesterday, I wanted to scream.

Things must be pretty tough over at the EIB network. Limbaugh is now launching conspiracy theories. This is from Tuesday’s excursion into “broadcast excellence.”
Have you heard, this new movie, the Batman movie—what is it, the Dark Knight Lights Up or something? Whatever the name of it is. That’s right, Dark Knight Rises, Lights Up, same thing. Do you know the name of the villain in this movie? Bane. The villain in the Dark Knight Rises is named Bane. B-A-N-E. What is the name of the venture capital firm that Romney ran, and around which there’s now this make-believe controversy? Bain. The movie has been in the works for a long time, the release date’s been known, summer 2012 for a long time. Do you think that it is accidental, that the name of the really vicious, fire-breathing, four-eyed, whatever-it-is villain in this movie is named Bane?
-
Apparently, way back in 1993, the vast Left-wing conspiracy was hatched and DC Comics (the covert operations arm of the party) created Bane as a Batman antagonist, knowing that in 20 years RMoney would be running for president and his association with Bain would be a campaign issue.
Bane is a fictional character who appears in comic books published by DC Comics. The character’s origin was in Batman: Vengeance of Bane #1 (January 1993), and was created by Chuck Dixon, Doug Moench, and Graham Nolan. Bane has been one of Batman’s more physically and intellectually powerful foes. He is best known for breaking Batman’s back in the “Knightfall” story arc. IGN’s list of the Top 100 Comic Book Villains of All Time ranked Bane as #34.
Surprisingly, I agree with Bobo.

Regarding my 11 pm post from last night, the photoshopped pic of Obammy with his mother added, and the obvious place where her right hand becomes the hand of a black person, probably a black male… Recently I heard some radio host, possibly Hannity, interviewing the author of a book about Frank Marshall Davis. (I assume it was Paul Kengor and his book The Communist.)
Hearing the tales of how Grandpa Dunham brought Davis into their family circle to be a black male mentor to little Barry, sure makes me think that is Davis’s black hand in the photo. I opine that Unca Frank was taken out and mom Stanley Ann was put in. -

Problem:
The Democrats were genning this up before Limbaugh even mentioned it.This summer’s much-anticiapted Hollywood blockbuster, “The Dark Knight Rises,” is getting an unusual boost from Democrats and other foes of Mitt Romney who are eager to tie the Gotham crushing villain to the GOP presidential candidate. Their angle: the mask-wearing, “Venom” gas breathing bad guy has a name that sounds just like Romney’s former investment firm that President Obama has been blasting as a jobs killer.
“Bane” is the terrorist in the new movie who drives the caped crusader out of semi-retirement in the final Batman movie. Democrats, who believe they have Romney on the ropes over the president’s assault on his leadership at Bain Capital, said the comparisons are too rich to ignore.
“It has been observed that movies can reflect the national mood,” said Democratic advisor and former Clinton aide Christopher Lehane. “Whether it is spelled Bain and being put out by the Obama campaign or Bane and being out by Hollywood, the narratives are similar: a highly intelligent villain with offshore interests and a past both are seeking to cover up who had a powerful father and is set on pillaging society,” he added.Given that Limbaugh is merely responding to a Democrat meme, I’d say those who are slamming him are fairly uninformed.
-
#46 Tedtam, I’ve heard Rush claim the absurdity defense before. It usually happens shortly after he’s misled his audience and the “drive by media” mentions it. (He really seems to like getting mentioned.) I’ve also heard him claim that he mis-reported things on a prior purposefully, just to set a trap for his enemies in other media.
I’m not buying it. The man is smart enough to know exactly what he’s doing and what he can get away with in terms of audience loyalty. He pushed that envelope with his three day “slut” tirade earlier this year, and most of his audience bought his lame explanation that it was “just humor.”
Absurd. -
#49 mharper
I agree. I heard part of the interview that Medved had with the author. That probably was Davis’ hand – and it would not have done to have his picture in the book.

Dark Knight Rises Bane references
Left wing supporters of Barack Obama were the first to sieze on the Bane character comparison to Mitt Romney.“Bane” is the terrorist in the new movie who drives the caped crusader out of semi-retirement in the final Batman movie. Democrats, who believe they have Romney on the ropes over the president’s assault on his leadership at Bain Capital, said the comparisons are too rich to ignore.
“It has been observed that movies can reflect the national mood,” said Democratic advisor and former Clinton aide Christopher Lehane. “Whether it is spelled Bain and being put out by the Obama campaign or Bane and being out by Hollywood, the narratives are similar: a highly intelligent villain with offshore interests and a past both are seeking to cover up who had a powerful father and is set on pillaging society,” he added.
As the Friday release date has neared, liberal blogs were the first to connect Batman’s toughest foe with Romney’s firm. But now even some conservatives, concerned Romney isn’t fighting the Bain attacks hard enough, see a similarity in the epic DC Comics fight and the political campaign.But the writer and creator of the comic strip series, Chuck Dixon, is a well known Hollywood conservative as is Christopher Nolan, writer and director of the movies based on it.
Reviewers say the real villains in the movie are the Occupy Wall Street thugs. -

But calling it “accurate” is far from a correct application of the term. It was not accurate to call the political activist/college student a “slut” or a “prostitute” simply because she is neither.
It was politically motivated propaganda and it wasn’t until his show started losing advertisers that he started to backtrack and came up with the “It was all a joke! Folks!” excuse. No comedian in his right mind uses the same material three days in a row, and no broadcaster in his right mind risks alienating those who butter his bread.

Uh, she said she and other students couldn’t afford birth control. I can’t remember the exact comments, but it boiled down to “I’m having sex so often, I can’t afford to buy birth control”. She made it sound like she needed a pill every time she was penetrated. I guess she didn’t realize that’s not how chemical BC works. Condoms, however, might be what she was talking about.

How would you characterize a woman who demands that the public subsidize her purchase of sexual prophylactics? She’s either giving it away (i.e. a slut) or she’s selling it (i.e. prostitute).
Please don’t tell me she needed the birth control for medical reasons – a prescription from her doctor stating the reasoning would have solved the problem.No comedian in his right mind uses the same material three days in a row

TBO is making other governments nervous – and they want him out, too.
On Monday, deep concerns about President Obama that allied leaders usually express only in private spilled into public. The premier of one of Canada’s provinces said, “People think in this country, perhaps they do, that the Obama administration is good for Canada. … The facts say something else.” Given the typically genteel tones that mark diplomacy among allies in general, and relations with Canada in particular, this was stunning.
Privately, leaders in places like Japan and Saudi Arabia have been alarmed at Obama’s deprecation of the U.S. nuclear arsenal — and wondering if they may now need their own. President Obama has called repeatedly for abolishing all nuclear weapons, which seemingly would require trusting governments like those of Russia, Pakistan and North Korea.
/snip
All of this is noted abroad. The consequence is that people increasingly do business elsewhere. They invest capital elsewhere. Countries are now more willing to seek trade agreements with Canada than with the United States, for example. Allies have to cut deals with the bad actors in their regions. More countries contemplate nuclear arsenals of their own. Tyrannical governments see no cost to crushing dissent violently.If only those foreigners had listened to us before helping to spawn this presidency.
American voters do not cast their ballots based on the wishes of foreigners. But it is worth considering that those abroad who help the United States the most economically and in national defense think matters will improve drastically with change in the White House.

The only reason I recall when the government got out of the Viagra business is because I remember the screaming, vein-popping reaction of the ex-daughter-in-law when she found out they had been paying for it.

In 1972, at the Olympics in Munich, PLO terrorists murdered 11 Israeli athletes. The games, of course, went on, and there has never been any effort to memorialize the victims.
On this, the 40 th anniversary of this barbarism, the families of the victims, led by Munich widow Ankie Spitzer, petitioned the International Olympic Committee to honor the memory of the murdered athletes with a minute of silence, something most Western countries were in favor of.
…
According to Mrs. Spitzer, Jacques Rogge, the president of the IOC told her when they met that ‘his hands were tied’ by the 46 Arab and Muslim members of the IOC.
She replied, “My husband’s hands were tied, not yours.”I’ll be observing my own personal moment of silence. It will commence 27 July 2012 and last until12 August 2012, consisting of not watching any NBC programming during that period.

It was not accurate to call the political activist/college student a “slut” or a “prostitute” simply because she is neither.
Correction, it was not *appropriate* to call her a slut. That said, memory serving, he appologized for calling her a slot. Now, if you care to agree that calling her a slut was inapppropriate than please do so under sincere repentence on your part for doing the exact same thing with other females lest you do so as an an asinine hypocrite.

Obama’s campaign fights back against Romney’s “inaccurate” attacks against Obama:
“Mitt Romney is launching a false attack,” the ad’s text states. But the weird thing is: The Obama campaign is purposefully trying to make it sound like Romney is misquoting the president, when the official White House transcript backs up Romney’s quotation.
As citted, here’s what obama said (bold mine),
Nevertheless, the Obama campaign, in the ad, says it’s not true. “The only problem?,” the ad text reads. “That’s not what he said.” It then turns to Obama, from the same Roanoke campaign speech, who said, “If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life.”
Which is true. Obama did say that. But he also said the line that Romney says he said– “If you’ve got a business –you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”Obama Ad Accuses Romney of ‘Launching a False Attack’ for Quoting Obama

In placing the traditional acknowledgement America has always followed, Charles Murray writes:
There’s a standard way for Americans to celebrate accomplishment. First, we call an individual onto the stage and say what great things that person has done. Then that person gives a thank-you speech that begins “I couldn’t have done this without…” and a list of people who helped along the way. That’s the way we’ve always done it. Everyone knows we all get help in life (and sometimes just get lucky). But we have always started with the individual and then worked out. It is not part of the American mindset to begin with the collective and admonish individuals for thinking too highly of their contribution.
That brings me back to the creepiness of it all. It is as if a Dutch politician—an intelligent, well-meaning Dutch politician—were somehow running for the American presidency, but bringing with him the Rawlsian, social-democratic ethos that, in the Netherlands, is the natural way to talk about a properly run society. We would listen to him and say to ourselves, “He doesn’t get this country.” That’s the thing about Obama. Time and again, he does things and says things that are un-American. Not evil. Not anti-American. Just un-American.(Obama’s remarks not being anti-American is debatable)

Excellent point just made by Medved regarding Romney’s tax returns. If Romney released his returns he’ll reveal all whom he’s done business with. With this administration, should he do that? Wouldn’t they be the recipient of lefty attacks and / or investigations? This may be, as Medved points out, one reason Romney does not want to release his tax returns. Another angle in arguing to NOT release his returns is the following:
Krauthammer says John McCain’s word is good enough for him and that Romney shouldn’t release any past tax returns and thus cede the argument to the Obama campaign that he’s hiding something

Bachman called into Glenn Beck’s radio show regarding Huma Abedin and her (Bachman’s) letter to look into her security clearence:
“But you’re not saying that she is compromised? he asked later. “You’re saying have we looked into this, right?”
“That’s right,” she responded. “That‘s all we’re saying because we did not infer that she is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood or that she’s working on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood.”As shown yesterday, Abedin’s father, brother, and mother had connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. That is an all to clear a reason to NOT allow Huma to work with the Secretary of State or anywhere in that department.

In 2010, Robyn Hamlin ran for Congress as a Tea Party candidate in a district long held by Democrats. With little money and even less name recognition, she garnered less than 30% of the vote in the general election. The owner and operator of two small businesses who raises chickens on the side, she is frustrated with what she sees as a corrupt system in Washington that Congress is unwilling to change. Now she’s running again, this time against not only Democrats but the local and state GOP, which for reasons of a basic lack of courage made an under-the-table deal with the incumbent Democrat to guarantee the seat remains his.

Well it just don’t get no better than this; American Airlines lauds NY worker’s 70-year career.
NEW YORK (AP) — American Airlines is celebrating the seven-decade service of a New York mechanic who turns 87 next month and has no plans to retire.
Azriel “Al” Blackman was 16 when he started as an apprentice mechanic in July of 1942, long before bag fees, airport security or even the introduction of the jet engine. He was paid 50 cents an hour.
Seventy years later, he still reports to work every day at American’s aircraft maintenance hangar at John F. Kennedy International Airport.
“I don’t consider it work, really,” Blackman said Wednesday. “If you like what you do, it’s not work.”
The Fort Worth, Texas-based airline invited Blackman to ride on a vintage DC-3 to mark his anniversary with the company.
The aircraft, the Flagship Detroit, is owned by a nonprofit foundation that has restored it to a historically accurate approximation of what it looked like when it was in passenger service for American from 1937 to 1947.Man that is NEAT I don’t care who you are, and the icing on the cake, the vintage DC-3, the greatest aircraft ever built, NEVER ever a structural failure in all the years of its service, and it was designed in the 30’s. It beat out the Boeing 247 for TWA’s business by flying over Pike’s Peak on ONE ENGINE! Pikes Peak is over 14,000 feet; the air gets real thin at that altitude and the engines loose about ¼ of their HP.

I don’t know about that. It’s possible the local Republican Party in Congressional District – 1 of Missouri are a bunch of clowns.
It’s also possible they didn’t get along with Robyn Hamlin, a woman who never cultivated their support, has spent years in Libertarian Party circles, claimed to be a Tea Party candidate, is not very articulate or concise about her beliefs and is an organizer for Ron Paul. She has clearly not been able to marshal ideological conservative support outside of her district or state like many other obscure candidates have been able to do.
Maybe Hamlin is just a dud and they need a better candidate in Missouri CD-1. And, perhaps, the local party needs a some new blood.
Personally, I’m pretty underwhelmed with her. -

The fact that each of the 3,141 counties and 435 congressional districts have vastly different Republican organizations, if any at all. Others are poorly or hardly run at all. Some are fantastic examples of political discipline. Many are apathetic and moribund in their thinking or imagination. The full range of human excellence to mediocrity can be found in all those precincts and subdivisions across America. These are, in short, local folks with all the baggage they bring to the table.

“awake in all its bizarre forms—-awokened???????”
The past tense of the verb awake gives lots of people fits. Should it be “awoken” or “awakened”? The same confusion attaches to the verbs awaken, wake, and waken.
In modern usage, all of these verbs may be used intransitively or transitively:
awake
intransitive: to come out of the state of sleep; to cease to sleep
transitive: to arouse (someone) from sleep.
awaken
intransitive: to arise or spring into existence
transitive: to rouse from sleep
wake
intransitive: to be or remain awake; to keep oneself, or be kept, awake
transitive: to rouse from sleep or unconsciousness
waken
intransitive: to cease to sleep; to become awake
transitive: To rouse (a person or animal) from sleep or unconsciousness.
Confusion about the past tense forms stems from the fact that the words evolved from two Old English verbs, one of which was “strong” and one of which was “weak.”
Note: Certain OE “strong” verbs developed past tense forms that end in -en in modern English. OE “weak” verbs developed past tense forms that end in -ed in modern English. In the case of awake and wake, we may choose to use either the strong or the weak endings:
awake / awoke / (have) awoken
awake / awaked / (have) awaked
wake / woke / (have) woken
wake / waked / (have) waked
In the case of awaken and waken, the weak ending is standard.
awaken / awakened / (have) awakened
waken / wakened / (have) wakened
Although these words mean more or less the same thing, I think they’ve all remained in the language because they express different slivers of meaning about waking and wakefulness.
Wake, wake up, and waken are possibly the most commonly used words for the literal act of rousing a sleeper.
Around 6 a.m. the technician returns to wake the patient and remove the sensors.
Why does Atticus wake the children in the middle of the night?
Getting your teenager to wake up in the morning
your cries have woken the master
I have woken up in the middle of the night not being able to breathe…
The thunder woke me.
I was woken by the thunder.
Next comes waken:
In 29% of patients, the pain is severe enough to waken the patient.
I often waken in the night and can’t go back to sleep.
Just when you thought there was nothing going on, the sun is going to waken!
Awake and Awaken are also used for the literal waking of a sleeper, but in addition, these words carry literary and theological connotations that simple wake does not. Sinners are exhorted to awaken to their transgressions. Self-help gurus show us how to awaken various aspects of our personalities:
How to Awaken your Divine Intuition
How to Awaken Your Inner Child
Awaken the Writer Within
Both awake and awaken are popular title words:
When We Dead Awaken
Awaken the Giant Within
14 Steps to Awaken the Sacred Feminine
Awake
The sleeper awakes
And of course, there’s Kate Chopin’s “The Awakening.”
Journalists use awaken to establish a serious tone:
Omar Bongo’s Demise Should Awaken Continent’s Tyrants
Oil spill should awaken us to nuclear danger.
This grave incident should awaken society to rid itself of prejudice.
Here are a few more examples showing the different forms in action. You may find that you want to use different words for transitive and intransitive use.
transitive
Don’t wake the baby.
Don’t waken the baby.
She woke the patient at 3 a.m.
Has she waked the patient for her meds?
You have woken the patient too soon!
The alarm never wakes him.
Have you awakened the guards?
intransitive
Sometimes I wake in the night.
Sometimes I waken in the night.
Sometimes I awake in the night.
Sometimes I awaken in the night.
I awoke at midnight.
Bottom line: Choose the form or forms you prefer. There’s so much confusion and disagreement about these words and their past tense forms that you ought to be safe no matter what you decide. (As long as you stay away from inventions like “awokened.”) -

Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s “expose” on the birth certificate’s gone belly up already. The barely visible pencilled codes used by the keypuncher when the certificate was entered into the computerized records were used to “prove” that someone at the White House had altered the certificate by completing blocks coded as blank.
Turns out the crackerjack team of investigators sent to Hawaii used codes from the 1968 coding book instead of the 1961 codebook used in the year of Barack Obama’s birth.The best “evidence” Arpaio and the birthers presented was that penciled-in codes on the birth certificate don’t match federal guidelines, which they claim to believe is clear evidence of a forgery (see their video here). …

That was a your argument through and through. Now it seems that you are trying to argue that since the Republicans won’t support anyone that’s not a Democrat, you have no hesitation to skip the box.
We will destroy the Republican Party
Good luck with that. Keep this in mind the next time you take liberty to say that Glenn Beck now only attracts the kooks in society.
what motivates us
Who the heck is “us”?
Its your frikkin Party.
The h*ll it is. Although I have always voted Republican I refuse to be identified as a Republican. Period.
Just remember: We’re stupid and crazy. We’ll do it.
D*mn…you just made me go caca in my big boy pants. Dang you!!! 😈

Let’s see.. the Establishment consiracy is on the loose in Missouri and upon the nation. I now call for the formation of the Sarge Birch Society!!!

In 16 words you have managed to capture both the essence of your intellect and expose the marvel that is your thought process.
Much better more than your 58 words and definitely much more than these three words (plus one glyph), that’s for sure.

No.
You posted something a few days ago that you dug up from a few months ago that summed it up. Go find it again. Read it, and try to understand it this time. -

My arguments now has nothing to do with the arguments you just piinted to. You and I went mano a mano (well mano and half a mano in my case) over Romney and gun control. You stated clearly that Romney should not be rewarded the presidency in large part (and I think it was actually your primary reason) because he supported gun control in Massachussets. I pointed to Gingriches’ own gun control at the federal level which you defended but you continued to attack Romney on his gun control.
That’s about it. -
Destroying the Republian Party in Texas is atually going to be easier than in any other State. Watch how many votes Ted Cruz gets, then subtract a good deal of those from your next election.
We can make many, if not most, races in this state three way competitions, and we would win enough of them to begin to make a differene. The Republicans would have to defend against Conservatives and Democrats without the advantages in money and volunteers that they currently enjoy from us.
Google “Whigs” and see how it works. -

That’s about it.Well then you, like most Republians, weren’t listening.
We’ll just have to do something to make you. -

Hey, I’m all for Ted Cruz getting more and more votes.
“¡Una vota para Cruz es una vota en contra del partido corrumpido!”
There. That should help you get the Latino vote for Cruz. -

Yeah, but, they died out. You just formulated how to save the Republican Party.

OK, Darren, don’t worry.
We’re just a bunch of stupid, crazy people you can dismiss, ignore and malign. You’re all powerful and ever so muh smarter.Yeah, but, they died out. You just formulated how to save the Republican Party.
You really should google Whigs and find out how the Republican Party got started.
Cuz it can end exactly the same way, and for the same reasons: ignoring a core constituency that is dedicated to its cause and tired of being ignored, tired of the compromises, and weary of the corruption at the top.. -
Mano and a half?
LOL
