Why always so dramatic? How is it that you feel you somehow trapped me? You made a claim which I found slightly dubious and I asked you for a refresher. You have been kind enough to supply said refresher and for that I commend you. At the very least I kept you occupied for the better part of a day.

My memory is pretty good but not quite so good as yours, apparently. And to be quite honest, I do find some of your posts overly long for my relativly short attention span. I also suppose that I do not spend as much time here as you. So I can postulate that perhaps I missed more than a few of your posts. Not all topics and therefore not all threads interest me as well.

No where did I say that Frem was full of shit. Or Frem does not know what he is talking about.
So once again, What trap did you just snap?

"Maybe Chris, maybe...

Had a bit of a dialogue with Dingell this past week, he's not directly my rep but he is my go-to-guy for a defense of 2A Rights often against the wishes of and in contravention of his own party.

One thing we're agreed on is that Obama does not respect the 2A, and we're going to pre-emptively and politically kneecap his ass regarding that fact to prevent him from getting excessively stupid about it.

See, ya gotta take the long view, and with the Rethugs busy engaging in what could be best termed a circular firing squad, that's when it falls to us NOT to breathe a sigh of relief and go home, like so many did when the Dems took a stronger foothold in congress - with the predictable result of them rolling over like bitches the moment we let the pressure off.

Obama has his flaws, and while Biden might be a restraining influence on him, I wouldn't count on that fact alone to prevent the results of those flaws from coming down on our heads.

First, you get the more reasonable, rational guy in office, THEN you make DAMNED SURE that any attempt to overstep himself runs smack into a well formed, pre-existing and rabidly defended roadblock, manned by folks who are tired enough of that shit to not take it from ANY administration.

And that goes for both Conservatives and the kool-aid chuggin RightWingNut horde too...

Cause if yer concerned about Obamas little "plans" you might ponder the fact that we the people don't have to LET him inflict them upon us, and perhaps the best way to avoid that is to push for undoing YOUR blank check that you handed to the executive office in your ignorant fucking stupidity, before he rams it down you throat on a pike like your little pet Shrub did to us.

Kick his ass till it sinks in between his oversized ears that he works for US, not vice versa, use those shrill voices in your own defense, and by that action defend the rights of us all.

In short, pull your fucking weight as americans for once, instead of forcing the rest of us to carry you, unwilling, and you screamed and struggled and demanded a de-facto dictatorship.

And if Obama DOES feed you a hefty helping of the shit sandwich shrub has been feeding us for seven years, you have only yourselves to blame, and don't go expecting much sympathy from me, since your support of a unitary executive enabled that to happen.

In fact... don't expect any fucking sympathy from me at all, because those of you who shouted the loudest in support of tearing down the checks and balances are now running in panicked circles at the thought of the power YOU enabled being aimed at you by a party you disagree with.

But it ain't about sympathy you pissants, and thank your lucky fuckin stars for that - right now it's about self-defense, and if we're gonna get stuck with this guy, the LEAST you can do to atone for your damnfool shortsighted ignorant stupidity is to help rebuild the walls you spent so much effort tearing down.

Or you can run and h

Admiral, should you ever return, you can't possibly be "quaint" as something would have to be outdated to be quaint, and you are a n00b.

No offense, I would have to care to give offense, I would nuke such threads if they didn't perform such a wonderful function and benefit society by sucking in all the BS that might get posted elsewhere where people were trying to have a civilized conversation, even if they do push people to the point where (reference omitted here.)

O would some power the giftie gie us to see ourselves in some necroposted threads of earlier this year...

I've returned .
We dodged "Bill" today and I'm just off a twelve hour shift at the Sunset Beverage Room so that should explain my tardy response .
( as in late and not "tard" like , although I may still seem "tardy" to you )

And yeah , here , I'm most certainly a n00b .

Not too partisan I hope .

( although I suspect my views shall be interpreted as such when they fail to gibe with conventional thoughts )

All in all , I fail to see how this discussion is in any way shape or form "uncivilised"

( the "Faggot" bomb thrower notwithstanding )

BDN... MEANWHILE...

BDN: I would appreciate a direct response to my prediction, and to my request for a single instance of where you criticized the Bush administration or made a single prediction about where his policies would lead. Because for someone who keeps sayin' ANYONE could have predicted that! the problem is... you didn't.

AND, you're avoiding this.

Stupid troll.

Why do you make it so easy, BDN ?

Cause it's my nature, cause I CAN - remember you're talkin to someone who mocked their removal from city council by showing up dressed as a villain classic here ?

More like an hour, havin lunch and nothin better to do at the moment.

Want some more greatest hits, off the top of my head ?

Under the "if this keeps up, soon enough someone's going to..." file -

Bomb an army recruiter - happened, just off times square, dinnit ?

Revenge bomb a corp they feel screwed them - happened to Paypal, was a door-spring type, as I recall.

Make a desperate and fatal last stand in their foreclosed home rather than hand it over - if memory serves, that one was in texas, eh ?

Then perhaps you should allow for that before you open your mouth, just sayin.

Of course not, that would require you to stand to it - no, you insinuated it, and now wanna weasel out when the bluff is called.

Baiting you to keep sticking your neck out when I am nearby with metaphorical axe in hand, grinning... like, well... now.

Quote:
Do you think Obama is the first president to go against the 2A?

Not at all, but I cited pre-emptive defense of that right, and that he would turn around and rather than repeal the many abuses, use them for HIS agenda, while so many others were going on about 'hope' and 'change' and I didn't buy it for a minute.

Quote:
I'll concede that.
You think Obama, and Bush before him, were the only Presidents to strategically pick their VPs? Who was Billy's boy again? Remember Quayle? How about Mondale or Agnew?

The bit in question was actually in reference to McCain getting handed his head, which I not only knew was GOING to happen even before they picked veeps, I was wisely laying plans against further abuses by THIS administration before it even came to be, and reached across the aisle, although not very politely, trying to garner support from those who enabled it as an act of atonement for doing so - and they had none of it, thus my "hiding under a rock" commentary.
There was also knowing that the NeoCons wouldn't be sticking around this country when the threat of prosecution might eventually rear its ugly head.

Quote:
I will concede that.
You think government bailouts are new to the past and present administrations?

Not at all, but I knew WHO was gonna get bailed out, and in the case of GM, could even point out WHY (makin shit no one wanted).

Quote:
What is all this about cowards on my side showing their true colours? This very thread has been a prime example of my shark analogy. By posing to you a simple query, I was engaged by no less than 3 other posters while waiting on your reply. Could it be the pack mentality?

More like you chumming the waters with your idiocy, although in Kwicko's case he completely had ulterior motives, cause he was all the while setting you up like a pretty white volleyball, knowing DAMN WELL I couldn't resist going for the spike - he won't even deny it.
That ain't premeditated so much as he's an asshole and imma bastard who's primary rule is to always kick someone when they're down.

Don't really know, I decided to take a pass on lunch. Perhaps your power of memory is intermittent. Do you not remember me stating before that I was not an American citizen?

Then why's it matter to you so much ?
