thebeaver: Obama: Wrong On Iransageadvice: Brown Bagging?Can the bag be any other color? Can it be in an expensive flask? Can it be plastic? What color. Why must it be hidden? I never touch "brown bags", uuuhhh. yardman5508: The Progressive ConundrumI got to thinking about how the Progressive/Populist wing of the Democratic Party has been struggling lately. I guess, in many ways, being a conservative is so much easier. There isn’t any of that pesky doubt about doing the right thing. Once you blur the line between right and wrong, it is pretty much anything goes. Don’t listen to polls, don’t read anything that contradicts your perceived notions. Stay the course. ILuvFayette: Taste of FayetteI am thinking of taking my daughters to Taste of Fayette. I have never attended before. I am assuming it is different restaurants from the county giving you the opportunity to try their food? sageadvice: There are those! (The Rat's Lament)There are those who must be judges, Did you know, she would say, BPR: KansasIf you were on here you missed a great concert. We went to the Kansas concert and it was great even better than when they were in the early years. Naturedude: BumperstickersSaw a bumpersticker the other day, Georgia tag, Floyd County, read,"Sherman was a Bastard" Love it! jensjags: InsuranceThis is to the post about someone's problem with their insurance company regarding a claim when their wife hit a deer. If you want to get excellent customer service just call Peggy Crayton's State Farm office in PTC. Cyclist: Lets get those bicycles off the Road!!!No No, I don't mean it but, perhaps you'll read what I have to say. The recent blog titled "Open letter to Kevin "Hack" King has saddened me. Can we just lighten up a little bit? We all have disagreements and view things differently but at the end of the day our political leanings and views on things do not change no matter what is said. I’m not advocating that we stop the verbal sparring but please, no personal attacks. SoulShadow: Right on SimpletonWow, Simpleton! Extremely well put. I can't even begin to imagine how it must feel to be this person (the rat) that felt it necessary to destroy a persons life. Do you think at that very moment he/she felt large, full of pride and excitement that they were able to cause destruction in another persons life? An animated cartoon comes to my mind. A character that grows from being very small to overshadowing cities, dwarfing the buildings and causing the people to become nothing more than specs and in its wake the buildings crash, killing the now little specs beneath her/him. Immediately following the destruction is loud, evil laughter that echoes through the now empty landscape. Typically, this is the behavior of one that can not live with their own inadequacies; so to feel better about themselves they must inflict pain on another. I wonder if afterwards there was even an ounce of shame or guilt felt by this person; or was it elation? Is this what a Christian is? Is living a Christian life being a person that would purposefully destroy a persons life and do it as casually as tossing a piece of paper in the garbage? I am not an educated person. But I know the smell of a rat when the aroma hits my nostrils and even so, I actually feel sorry for the rat because I can't even imagine having to live with myself for calling myself a Christian and purposefully hurting another person, well for that matter; and that persons family and doing it all without provocation. I too, have read Muddle's blogs and have come to the conclusion that this person is a bright star shining through the thick smog in this world. What ever happened to "freedom of speech" anyway? How is it, that a person of Muddle's stature, poise and grace was allowed to be crucified? It makes me think of the day of Aslans death and what it represented. Perhaps Muddle was the sacrificial lamb for which to invoke change and the person that perpetuated his crucifixion will suffer Aslans wrath, as did the white witch. I believe that Muddle is too good for that employer, as an employer that would be so terse, unforgiving and obtuse (and in the name of Christianity mind you) as to relieve Muddle of his position for such an absurd reason does not deserve Muddles presence. TonyF: I always wanted to be a...Lumberjack! thebeaver: The Great Divider"Gary MacDougal, who was chairman of the Illinois Governor's Task Force on Human Services Reform and is the author of "Make a Difference: A Spectacular Breakthrough in the Fight Against Poverty" (St. Martin's Griffin, 2005), pointed out the depressing danger of Obama domestically: He gives a boost to the likes of Wright; people who damage communities by holding back others from attaining the American dream." sageadvice: Lutefisk & salt-cured country hamI have never heard the name, "lutefisk," before but I have heard of dried Cod fish. I think they are preserved for winter eating primarily in much the same manner as salt-cured country ham. sageadvice: New gun packersI have always cringed when on the evening news the reporters show us a composite sketch of the criminal s described to them by the victim, whom we will now show to you on film! simpleton: "Help! Help! I'm being repressed!"Today I found myself driving behind a car that had a rather interesting bumper sticker. The sticker simply said, “THINK.” And in place of the “ I” was an upright “Jesus Fish”. I found this amusing after all of the drama that has played out recently through the Citizen blogs regarding Muddle, his employment and the anonymous Judas (who does not remain as anonymous as they might believe) who somehow succeeded in getting Muddle canned for the most absurd reasons imaginable. There are a couple of ways this sticker can be interpreted. In one way it could mean something along the lines of “Think Jesus” or “How Would Jesus Think?”. I prefer to believe that it means that the owner of the sticker-bearing vehicle is a Christian who has thought long and hard about why he’s a Christian and what it means to be a Christian and who holds the seemingly unpopular belief that, just because he’s a Christian, doesn’t mean he ought to stop using his brain. thebeaver: Is Barack Obama the Anti-Christ?"You have stumbled upon this site by searching "Barack Obama Antichrist" which was in the back of your mind, you were curious if anyone else had thought about it, so you gave it a google. Welcome. You are not alone, explore the site" thebeaver: You probably think this speech is about you....Great article from the Wall Street Journal..... "President Bush spoke before Israel's Knesset yesterday. According to Barack Obama, Bush's speech was a "political attack" on Barack Obama, as the Jerusalem Post reports: sageadvice: Sure is nice not to read cut & PI had to skip it so much, I wore out my fast read! sageadvice: Poor participation hereApparently there are as many as six hundred users of this site at any one time. Maybe some are simply connected but not using it, I don't know. thebeaver: Racial Politics Inside the Democratic Ranksthebeaver: Democrats push Amnesty into an Iraq spending billDemocrats are once again showing their true colors by trying to slip in an amnesty bill into an Iraq spending bill. Democrat "leaders" don't listen to the will of the people. They don't care about the rule of law. The don't care about the negative impact the invasion of illegal aliens has on our economy, our infrastructure, crime rates, wages, or anything else. They only care about power. thebeaver: None Dare Call It 'Appeasement'sageadvice: If the November electiongets as bad as this blog is becoming, we are in for a shameful few months! There is nothing wrong with saying what you think and know about items of concern to all of us, but to not be able to express yourself back to someone, when you disagree, without threats of personal harm or of job security, indicates your lack of ability to enter into civil discourse. Mike King: MEMORIAL DAYFellow bloggers I ask that you attend your local Memorial Day activities a week from Monday. Irrespective of how you may view the military, this day is set aside to honor those who have fallen in defense of our nation during current and previous conflicts. thebeaver: ExtortionCivil Rights "leader" threatens Delta - wildcat: CRCTWhy do some parents know their child's score(s) and others don't? Shouldn't this information be released to all parents at the same time? Not that the scores really matter; the 8th graders will go to high school regardless of the scores they make. Cyclist: Helloooooo Tug,thebeaver: Barack Obama Pays Radicals To Staff His CampaignBPR: This Is SO FUNNYsageadvice: Salvation of Braelinn shoppingI don't know who owned the land where the old folks homes are being built near K-Mart on the south Parkway but maybe by the owners of the shopping center! |
