Good morning, mtnwmn. I am jealous of your view.

ABC talking about Syria. Christian says the options should be for the US to have skin in the game, boots on the ground (I think that’s what she’s advocating)

George Will is the one lone voice that disagrees on doing “something” in Syria. says we may be at the point that neither choice who will be in control once this is over will be a good choice. (I agree! - stay out of Syria)

When FR was down for several days last week I got hooked on the comments section at Mediate.com...

...there were so many LIVs on the forum I just had a blast destroying their ignorant notions.

Fighting on FR is hard because we all have conservative values to some extent so a lot of disagreement is trivial but om Mediate I can truthfully call the dummies big dummies and most have the comeback abilities of a Potsy Weber..

ABC - on to Iran. Sanctions are having an impact in Iran. (Shazam - obama is saving the day!).

One on one nuclear talks - ambassador (?) says we’re just getting delays in having talks while they continue their nuclear program.

Will says obama should have SOME red line to a nuclear Iran based on what he has said. (lol, and you believe him, George?)

What can the ratings be for a talk show on this matter [sequestration]?

I came to the conclusion long ago that these Sunday morning talkshows are not ratings/viewership driven. They seem to have a relatively consistent number of viewers week after week. They seem to be just filler material as an alternative to religious programming.

That is the reason they survive with the same ole weekly guests and same ole topics/issues and same ole agenda positions.

I haven't checked their ratings/viewership numbers in a long while, but, IIRC, the most watched only gets about 3 million viewership.

A quick google search showed CBS's Face The Nation as #1 with 3.37 million vewers in the 25-54 adults classification on February 10. [source: tvbythenumbers.com]

Thanks RG, she is writing the same thing I wrote only longer. The first step is realizing you have a problem and what it is. The next step is to realize what we are doing isn’t working and then find new ways around the Three Pillars or cause an earthquake.

I believe my group has found a way and have written a manual explaining the way.

For obama/the regime its all political. They have decided to send zero out for four years to try and finish us off. To try and destroy us.They have val/jar and the bent axel running things so zero can continue to do what he was trained to do, fund raise, campaign, lie, distort and attack us.

It's up to us how well we can counter the endless attacks by zero and his media.

Also the dems are totally invested in govt. spending. When the day comes that they can't use our money to buy votes for their constituency they are through as a political party and they know it.

That's why any cuts at all are a sheer disaster for them.

Sad thing is that’s true about most for the middle East. Pick your favorite terrorist is pretty much what you get.

You have had the greatest training ever here on FR! If you make it/survive here you can go literally anywhere and hold your own with no problem. This place is like "the farm" for CIA wannabees.If you last 10k posts here you are a pro.!!

You have to laugh at all the greenies who take their recycle bags to the store knowing they are made out of more plastic than plastic bags and expose themselves to diseases. Now they have to wash them using more water and soap to be a “good” person.

This has more to do with how they shape the argument and win it as they are doing with sequester. Paint the Repubs as evil and greedy for not spending your money until they cave.

It's important that we call it "The Obama Sequestration"

Bump. In fact:

It's important that we call it "The Obama Sequestration"

Notice that whenever someone calls it the "Obama Sequestration", the media cries in unison: "The Republicans passed it, too. The Republicans passed it, too." this is proof that it is a good idea.

So true. My brother told me about FR in 2001. He was a lurker. I lurked for a short while and signed on. I told him he needed to sign on, too, because posting made FR and it was fun.

Since then, I have only posted a few times over the years -- 49,245. lol.

Not bad. But what about a descent into the completely ludicrous and call it the “Obama spending cuts.”

Good idea; I doubt if many Obama voters can spell Sequestration, let alone understand what it means. It is entirely possible that in 15-20 years there will be contestants on American Idol named Sequestration.

You have been here longer than me Tom and a huge addition to FR as well. A friend of mine in the Miami media told me about this place. I checked it out and never looked back. Never thought I would last the first few months but I stuck it out. Glad I did.

I recall I fought tooth and nail with one guy for five days arguing over whether Sean Hannity was a good broadcaster or not.I forgot who won but we became FRiends.

At the time I was just finishing up my other job as a morning drive guy.

Truth is there is FR and every where else. I think I am right up there near 50k myself.

Bobby Jindall just stuck it to DNC Dave so bad it wasn't even funny why we can't cut the budget less than 3% is a mystery to me. He really took it to the dummie dems including Duvallll whatever from where ever.

Here's some great tuff from Jindall: Time to stop campaigning,Mr. President, put good teachers in the classroom, significant tax reforms, stop scaring American people roll up your sleeves, cut tax rates,Walmart slowing down, more private sector growth, less govt. growth.

Duuuvvaallll Patrick engaging in massive projections accusing us of doing exactly what they are doing, the rest mostly lies,unreal.
