Who needs a village i---t when we have you.

Out of all our past Presidents, Jimmy Carter and his family have given, for years, so much of themselves, to our Country and other Countries in need and for you to say this, is reprehensible. You, incorrect are clueless.

The sad thing is, when it is time for you to move on to those Pearly Gates and Jimmy Carter, I'm sure, will be at those Pearly Gates greeting everyone, he, out of all the past presidents will be the first to reach his hand out to you and welcome you in. That is, if you make it there, I have my doubts.

I really don't agree with anything that Jimmy Carter has said or done. He does put his money where his mouth is with all of his charities here and abroad. I do like that. He spends his own money instead of just telling me how he wants to spend mine (obumbles are you listening?)

I can't understand why he would want to help those neanderthal terrorists, but he does. He is a good man, thats why he made such a lousy politician.

Your understanding on how things work is very shallow. Most likely, President Carter was not invited.

I just read about the "potential" plot against your Dad when he was in Gaza. I hope he is correct in doubting the reports. Whatever the situation was, I'm glad to hear that he is safely out of that place.

I'm too glad to hear that he is safe.

The liberals have left the website, for the most part, since the level of discussion has slipped to an all time low and has become a toilet for dumping cut-and-paste, fecal posts from Fred and Darth. Looks like this website will become a boneyard of conservative tripe, name-calling and head-banging aimed at liberals, who seem to have chosen to move on. Let the Repub's wallow in their misery. That seems to be all that they have left.

There are plenty of bonyards of librul tripe, name-calling and head banging aimed at conservatives wh seem to have chosen to move on. You've got CNN, CBS, NBC, NY Times, Washington Post, Atlanta Constipation, and of course the new government propoganda channel. OBC (Obama Broadcast Company). You guys will be okay..... those 'other guys' will oblige you and tell you exactly what you desire to hear. Gonna miss ya.

Are You Freer Today Than You Were Before Obama?

What about ABC and the huffington post?

It's ABC and not OBC. Gee....How could I have gotten that wrong?

Are You Freer Today Than You Were Before Obama?

It was an easy mistake, given the content of the "news" they report, or is it distort?

PS: glad the lion made it back.

You all provide the best entertainment. I always look forward to what you will come up with next.

but your just a tad slow arn't you...You shall be missed.. no really...you will.. I mean it....
Are you taking all the Hollywood types that promised to leave after Bush was elected??

"The liberals have left the website, for the most part, since the level of discussion has slipped to an all time low.....waaaahhhh, waaaahhhh........blah, blah, blah."

Brings to mind the great line from that classic western "Tombstone":

"Well, bye......"

It's a sad day isn't it?

Is it safe to talk about crinoline and tax tea parties now, without all of the venom?

If I believed for a minute that they were gone for good, maybe it would be a little bit of a bummer. Things just weren't going their way on here. That doesn't sit well with a group who wants control. They whine about the number and quality of posts from Fred and Darth. I guess it never occurred to them to just not bother reading them. It's a neat little trick I use on a daily basis here, many times on their posts. I even got "chastized" once or twice for deviating from what a certain blog thread was supposed to be about. I obviously never received the rule book for blogging that they wrote.

Or, could it possibly be that they realize they only enjoyed blogging when they could bitch about every single thing the sitting president does?? Lord knows they sure were having trouble finding fault with their precious Barry.

Anyway, I will jump out here and now and predict that they will be back. Meanwhile, anyone else need a crinoline for their kid? We can discuss that for a little while without learning what Main thinks about kiddie pageants....

They will be back with different names just like basmati, and beah, bonker$ and company.

I bet they will be back for the tea paries on the 4th. I'm sure we will all get by without them.

Personally, those liberals that I associate with are admitting to me that they are coming to realize that we are moving too far left too fast and they now have grave concerns about Obama.

I imagine it is becoming increasingly more difficult to defend some of the moves that the Teleprompter in Chief has made.

It seems the 'Change' that was hoped for is being replaced by a reality hangover because the Washington spending and corruption is rolling along as usual. Government is experiencing EXPLOSIVE new growth and it is being financed on the backs of our children.

Besides, if I were liberal, unless I was a Socialist, I wouldn't be blogging and defending him either. I would start questioning where is taking this country.

But then again, maybe they are gone because the daily KOS site has been down so they don't know what to think or say.

I just assumed a heavy vacation cycle and summer hours and attentiveness. It is interesting that you would choose to leave now, when liberalism is at its ascendency or even zenith. But I understand and there can only be so much rancor we are willing to endure.
Of course it is easy to ignore a volume of blogs and engage in ones that are intellectually stimulating to you. I know that I have had several blogs with no comments-so I assume no interest. I will miss yours, Sniffles, and Diva's rants. But you have certainly contributed to the shrill and bitter discourse on this website. I would miss JeffC for his global and international intelligence. I will miss Sniffles for his purely local work. He had some good stuff with the Board of Education.

Bon Voyage

I don't agree with JeffC or his father on most topics, but he presents his point of view without attacking or denigrating other people.

I hope sniffles is saving his strength for the next school board election. He would win by a landslide.

Most of my liberal friends are saying they made a big mistake.

Jeff, I'm glad your Dad is safe. Although I don't agree with you or your Dad on most things, I would shake your hand anytime. You are a class act.

Sniffles, I've read most all of your comments about the FCBOE. If you decide to run against one of three people, you have my vote.
I can't say I agree with you on anything else though.

Tug

You are exactly what the Dr. ordered for this blog. A bright ray of sunshine. Have a good weekend.

Hope you are doing okay. You have a great weekend too!

What does 0pps mean?

I think Carter deserves more respect than being called an idiot. I don't agree with much he did, but name calling is not something I like to hear about our Former POTUS's.

..I don't believe that getting yourself elected to public office should exempt you from just criticism. James Earl carter was a politician, a vocation that even the founders of this country veiwed as despicable. They aren't gods, and when they leave the spotlight of public scrutiny, only their record is left to speak for them.

AUDENTES FORTUNA JUVAT

IF you can show me where I said that, I'll not post about it again.

Spy, agree with your post--that name-calling goes nowhere to help social harmony--on this website or anywhere else.

The DPRK is the most bizarre country on the planet. For a different perspective consider this, Kim knows that we could wipe him off the face of the Earth and he won't go so far as to start a war. Their external politics revolves around three objectives: extorting money from the West, provoking South Korea so that relations don't thaw enough to lessen their isolation and dancing on the edge of what is tolerable to the Chinese. The recent provocations affect all three but I think it's an internal political ploy aimed at shoring up Kim's standing with the military to gain their support for his choice of successor. They believe that they gain enormous prestige by being a nuclear power. The military will never accept his two oldest sons so it's a maneuver to gain support for Kim Jung Un. If external politics were paramount, he wouldn't be provoking the Chinese and he would be negotiating with the US in hopes of another financial bonanza. He's not doing that. Ergo, it's an internal ploy.

I agree with your assessment completely.

I think your think tank is right on there Jeffro.

Not going to be many points we can agree upon.... savor the moment..... there.

Okay done.

Now what's this terrible dislike the Obama administration (see how I am leaving your dad out of it?) has for Israel all about.

Geezus H.

Can't agree on North Korea's army being wiped off the earth!

They number about a million and are trained and equipped.

We didn't handle a handful of terrorists in Iraq!

Are you suggesting that we drop the "bomb" every mile or two?

Finish the negotiations, I say.

The DPRK does have a million under arms, but they do not have the ability to force project outside of a conventional attack across the DMZ. I had (and still have) faith in the 550,000 man ROK army and their series of penninsula wide defenses. In the 45 miles from the DMZ to Seoul, I counted 3 large antitank walls with drop blocks and charges prepositioned to drop them to seal off the road. I saw every major building and residential buidlings with firing ports designed in them. Thorw in that the DPRK has to get across the Imjin-Gan river within the first 8 miles and it is not an easy route to attack. Although the DPRK would certainly make a mess in their attack and millions would die, I do not see them defeating the ROK. They do not have more than 2-1 superiority and do not have the ability to project the bulk of its forces behind the defensive belts of the ROK

I suppose you don't remember the hordes of Chinese, blowing their bugles while attacking? I do.

We would have to be in it in a minute. ROK reminds me of Iraqi soldiers. Or Italians.

I have heard of these fortifications before (the French had one) and they can be avoided.

You are correct about the millions of dead!

The maginot was a defensive line with both of its flanks in the air. It could be bypassed as it was by going through Belgium, or theoretically through the Swiss frontier. Both flanks of the ROK defenses is the sea/ocean. The DPRK does not have the force projection necessary to do an inchon-style attack behind the lines. And when the hordes of chinese came across the Han, they came across at a multiple of 10 to 1. The DPRK would be on their own hook in a DPRK attack on the south. The Chinese value their trade and how things are going too much. I am surprised that the Chinese have let this go this far. They have the weight inside of the DPRK to clean house. The status quo obviously works for the Chinese. I do not think that a conventional attack offered by the DPRK could take Seoul, much less the entire penninsula.
I have worked with the ROK in the modern era. I think they stack up well against their DPRK counterparts.

And the 2nd ID has a DIP (die-in place) mission there in a conventional war. They are a good division but are essentially a trip wire to draw us into a larger engagement. The DPRK's artillery can hit the 2ID even now behind the DMZ

I really don't know what you said overall!!

But, If we were fortunate enough to repel the million man army and continue into North Korea

Thanks Mr. Bonkers and Mr. Wedge.

There is much the American people do not understand about that situation. One thing I do understand is my fear of the North Koreans and that sick little man Kim having nuclear capabilities that can touch our soil.

Why is it that evil countries like Iran and North Korea are so bent on having these weapons?

prestige

President Obama and VP Biden will ask the correct Generals and also the State Department and CIA. Not------Karl Rove.

He is the solution. He is a bigger god than Kim is. Just ask Mr. Obama. He'll verify that for you. Our president is the cure-all for everything that ails this world.

I will no longer contribute to parties. I think we need to clean house in the House and Senate in 2010. I will only contribute to individuals. Obama, his administration, and Congress "it appears" is rushing us to socialism, or as some would say rushing us to a New World Order? We need to take back our Republic. The 9/12 candidates are very attractive. Check em out. . . . .

We nay need 20 more to clean up the Cheney Bush mess.

Now you know how I felt when Cheney and his Bush puppet were in power for eight years.
