That's getting pretty wacky even for a card carrying member of the WRW.

Weak, ineffective, too far left for you, I can understand but corrupt? where does that come from?

Have you been PM'ing Ragnar or something?
LOL, I consider them all to be corrupt... But my point was that he came from the same political geographical area that spawned the gentlemen you were speaking of. That's all.

What is WRW? Wacky Right Wing?

The weak-minded are often attracted to the demagoguery of the confident, regardless of how unsupported & illogical their claims. As such, I can see why some might be picking Dan

That's right folks. You can keep that girly balance & fact-based reporting, the manly-men like their news loud, opinionated, and just this side of outright delusional

I'm not prepared to defend the others in the Republican field, but Romney, Huntsman and Gingrich are far from mental midgets or a "clown brigade!!"
You might not be, but obviously the Tea Party conservatives themselves seem to disagree. They don't give Huntsman the time of day, have been doing their utmost to choose "Anyone But Romney", and Gingrich was ignored up until now for the same reasons he'll be eventually dumped (far from their socially conservative ideal and is known to be a hypocrite on their keystone issues).

I agree, these guys are not really part of the clown brigade in intelligence, but they are also the last choice for those voting on the matter.

Not all of them. Cynical as I am about pols, I believe there are good people among all the corrupted ones. I think the O is turning out to be another Jimmy Carter - a good man out of his depth in all the cutthroat chicanery. Honesty and good intentions aren't very effective shark repellent.

Boy do you have that right - compare Limbaugh or Coulter to someone like Dyer - effete Eurotrash indeed. I guess Limbaugh and Coulter and their ilk will have to be called "Angry White Right Trash"

A VIVID example of what I have said about the American media and its dumbing down of the country. Newzak instead of news, sound bites instead of interviews, if it bleeds it leads.

For those who do not know Gwynne Dyer



Served in the Canadian, British and American navies.

I have read just about everything he has written and seen him speak several times. The War series as brilliant.

His web site - Gwynne Dyer - Author, Historian & Independent Journalist

I read a column by him a long time ago wherein he was describing meeting a bar full of old time mercenaries in Zimbabwe. These were the real thing - Mad Mike Hoare types from their glory days in the Katanga rebellion etc.

He said "A bigger bunch of gormless space wasters you can't imagine."

I loved that line - can you imagine a better description of those brain damaged Nazi losers?
jackdale and aeventyr60 like this.

I think they love the prohibition laws so much because they get to steal so much from people because of it, but what really gets my grit is the 50k people in Mexico that have died in this war. And all of the lives it destroys. I'm choosing to rep God on this one because of the loss of life, and the use of the law to destroy lives and steal goods from people when it's already commerce ignored by the lawmakers. This destruction in reputation affects people in every area of their lives. It dictates where they live, and where they work. It's so wrong. They no longer have access to certain things which is so discrimination.

ps sorry for the temporary hijack, but it is a hot political topic.
We've gone down this road before. I already told you that I agree with you. Pot should be legal.

By the way, you do know chronic use of weed effects your memory.

Neither liked it, nor didn't like it. I generally disagree with the point they were trying to make, but it's been the same tag they've been trying to hang on the tea party since it started. I will note that I could easily understand what they were trying to imply by using the terms.

In any event, I've yet become a tea party supporter.
