Dammit, CG!I stopped counting the number of bars that have banned me at 20 (and the restaurants, too). My neighbors all have restraining orders on me, well, just the neighbors in a half mile radius.
Now, it looks like you've decided to discuss my family, and as one who follows the sparse number of rules here, I'm not all that sure that I should pursue that avenue of discussion.
I've no doubt that you feel much better now, and we all know that it's all about your feelings, Wry. I am thrilled that we are discussing me, though. Not because I am some narcissist, rather because you continue to prove my point about you and your posts. I doubt you have the capacity to comprehend that, however.
But, what you REALLY need to ask is how many countries have banned me. Ask the right questions, Wry.
Does your passport still have that "Not Welcome in the European Union" stamp?
Oh, OK...I guess knowing about that passport stamp is relevant to Wry's current attentions.Dammit, CG!Does your passport still have that "Not Welcome in the European Union" stamp?
Sorry, Modo.... but.... Girl, that's 27 Countries! (Unless you're Obama, in which case it could be 68).
Is Wry just a fraction obsessed with you? I only ask cuz he does seem a tad OCD in his attentions. You may want to consider a restraining order of your own..... just a suggestion.
I disagree, TPS. I'm sticking with what I said in post #2: Wry is a blind partisan (Democrat here) because he is overly emotional.Why Wry is a Democrat? Because he gets paid to be!
'nuff said!
The Republican Party needs to put country first and that won't happen. Their only policy that has been in effect, and has been affective, is working to make Obama fail. Every idea has been ridiculed and falsely characterized as "Socialism" or worse, and every need all of us seem to be concerned with can be fixed by the one magic bullet held by the conserviatives: Tax Cuts.
Serously, how could anyone support a party lead by McConnell and Boehner? Two pols who take their lead from demagogues, Limbaugh and Beck; and populists, like Palin and Gingrich?
While America 'burns', the Republicans 'fiddle'; Becks rally Sunday was the most recent 'tune' ("God is Great"; hey Glen, that's been done. See Iran for how well that worked out).
Past tunes: Obama is a Muslim! He was born in the Africa! He is a Socialist! He is a Marxist! He hates white people! OMG, he played golf!
And all of these tunes are played back over and over by the Loony Tune Players on this message board.

So, what should be done?
A huge influx of capital, both from the government and private investors in at least three national projects: Rebuilding the electrical grid; building inter and intra urban railroads and canals for the transport of goods, recreation and flood control; and the building of health care centers in each congressional district across America providing preventative medicine and health care education.
Image the possibilities, jobs for decades, less dependence on foreign oil, and a healthier happier citizenry. The opposite of hate and fear, the only other policy the Republican Party seems to have.
Why are you a democrat ?
Answer:
OBVIOUSLY ..... you are a Democrat because you're a POLITICAL IDIOT who turned into an Obamarrhoidal LIEberrhoidal stooge.
That's why.
Does anyone consider this post to be of value? One which demonstrates the depth of gautama"s intellect and a mind open to new possibilites, new ideas?
I suppose Daveman, Meister, Skookerasbil, nraforlife and of course Si modo do, given the bulk of their work is of the same genre.
Notice the attacks are all of the ad hominem variety - attacking me for offering ideas on how I believe we might solve some of the myraid problems facing our nation. Notice too these same posters echo each other and never offer ideas beyond the usual prosaic and unproven 'ideas' which flow daily from the mouths of conservative media talking heads.
So, in deference to those who actually think about problems and solutions, as opposed to the hysteria and emotion laced words of the echo chamber, I will offer MY ideas as I see fit. Not because I hope to convince the echo chamber, willfull ignorance is a chornic condition, but beause I believe the more solutions to problems offered the better. Sadly, the echo chamber lacks the basic skills to counter ideas with anything but personal attacks. Thankfully they are the minority, the fringe of the entire body politic.
Indeed, I am the fringe..........but only to the radical views of the far left. Most conservatives on this forum advocate for "solutions" that are far more universally accepted as compared to the far left approach. Its not even debatable.......thus, these philosophers that come in here propose all this radical stuff and paint everybody else as "fringe". You talk about the political IQ of a handball?
I disagree, TPS. I'm sticking with what I said in post #2: Wry is a blind partisan (Democrat here) because he is overly emotional.Why Wry is a Democrat? Because he gets paid to be!
'nuff said!
He has proven it and the poor sap doesn't even realize it, as usual.
In waht I do for a living, if I used the Wry Catcher approach, I'd blow my brains out inside a week.
Democrats don't have all the answers, nor do Democrats all agree on what solutions are best. Posting that I suggest they do is dishonest and dishonesty seems a characteristic of Meister.
Meister calls me a "partisan-hack" and suggests I'm too stupid to understand the consequences of my suggestions, and he engages in libel, stating on I'm on drugs (something he has no personal knowlege of and is not true); he does so because he lacks the intellect and skill to debate issues up front.
I was remiss in calling him a stupid asshole; he's simply too ignorant, to dishonest and too ghetto to debate.
We've debated this in other threads, wry. I've given you alternative solutions to the problems we face without your big government push. You may not have liked them, but they were more viable than your big government solutions. Your a broken record and bores most posters. Your postings lead me to believe that you are on drugs. We have already debated the issues, wry....no ghetto about it, except what is in your drug infested brain.
Tonight I'm on Bratwurst, grilled peppers & onions, baked beans and fresh from our garden tomatos & red onion in a light vinegar & garlic dressing. Very yummy. My wife had a beer, her mother a vodka martini and I had a diet coke, with a lime twist (also from our garden).
As for your ideas and our debate it may be you a bit under the influence. You see, I can recall a few posts - by others - which made sense. Your only contribution has been "cut taxes, cut spending", and lately, cut regulation. Of course that might not have been you, since all members of the echo chamber post the same 'ideas'. You might have suggested cutting SS and Medicare or the usual nonsense of a fringer.
Have a nice life and as you have nothing but personal attacks and stale ideas please share them with someone else.
You've made my list, although I don't post mine you will know by the way I sign off.
Thanks for sharing.
So, Wry. You are admitting that Obama's big government and throwing boatloads o' money in eleven different directions is the wrong way to go?I deem an echo chamber? A page or more of right leaning lemmings all posting "ain't he awful", building a wonderful straw man, and each standing tall holding a match.
To all of you thanks for sharing.
Sadly, not a one of you offers any solutions, and you all go on your way singing the same refrain, government is not the answer, taxes need to be cut, services too and the conservative utiopia will be reached. Those who have will live in their gated communities, never realizing their way has imprisoned them.
Government is not the answer, else any government would do. Government by the people is something else again. That is something we've lost; today's government is by the dollar and unless we get money out of politics the liberty all you conservatives say you love will remain nothing but a dream.
Yet, for the most part, y'all support Citizens United v. FEC (in the name of freedom); one more reason why I believe the Callous Conservatives simply don't get it: what goes around comes around.

How conservative of you!
Of course not Chef. I'm suggesting when the roof leaks you fix it; you don't wait until a storm destroys the whole house. Repairing a leaky roof is using money wisely. Continuing to provide a tax cut to the wealthiest Americans seems unwise and justifying it by suggesting those who make over $200,000 a year provide jobs is a canard. All of those on the Dodger 40-man roster earn over that - how many people do the players employ - a once a week pool guy? (of course the way they play they probably need counseling, but that's only an hour a week).
Hoover Dam, a government project employed hundreds of workers, and continues today to provide power to light all those neo signs and slots in Vegas. Public transportation projects will employ hundreds, maybe thousands, across the nation, and provide an alternative to one person, one car and continued gridlock, as well as many permanent jobs.

Uh, excuse me Wry, but a boatload of money in his first failed stimulus was designated for infrastructure. It was promised that it would provide immediate jobs......Not one job created!.....Look at all those ridiculous "project funded by" signs lining virtually every freeway across california. No projects, no people working. Just signs gathering dust and dead weeds surrounding the bottom of the posts. And those ridiculous signs cost us taxpayers around 6 grand a piece....It's all smoke and mirrors, nothing more!
And that's all this current proposition will be. A payoff to the unions.Of course not Chef. I'm suggesting when the roof leaks you fix it; you don't wait until a storm destroys the whole house.

Notice how Obama stood in front of union members yesterday. As a dem man in Ohio put it during an interview on CNN this morning, why didn't he have the guts to face non-union citizens in Ohio?....The same man also stated that he's disgusted with Obama and his administration. Stated that nothings changed, and he regrets voting for the man.
Yeah, that's all fine and dandy Wry. But Frisco is but a small microcosim. Fact is, homes are still being foreclosed on in record numbers. People are still losing jobs. Businesses are closing in record numbers. State and city workers are being forced to take furlough days, or are outright being laid off. My wife is now forced to take two furlough days a month. Judges are forced to voluntarily take furlough days to try and keep their staffs from losing their jobs. My wifes brother, a judge, now takes three a month.....It's only getting worse wry. The stimulus has failed. Throwing a trillion + dollars around did absolutely nothing. Throwing billions more is a complete waste.In re our energy policy, review this link:
Visualizing The U.S. Electric Grid : NPR
Chef, in re you post above. Maybe in SoCal; we have many projects underway shovels ready and working. Many of the roadway projects are fixing decades long problems of gridlock and the 'deadman curves' of yesteryears poor engineering.
