They used to publish this tosser’s ravings in my local paper long ago.

I thought he was dead, to be honest. His ideas certainly are.

It was in response to the poster who said the prez got everything he wanted. We begged him not to throw us in the briar patch but he did it anyway.

Another way to say it is “He who digs a pit will fall into it.”

Hmmmmm....let's see:

1) yep
2) definitely
3) not all, just most
4) no, but if anarchy ever reigned, I'd definitely get the better of it.
5) definitely not
6) no, but they keep calling me that, so what the hell. Let 'em think what they will...I don't care.

What I really am is sick and freakin' tired of being sick and freakin' tired. I'm fightin', spittin' mad, and just waiting for Claire Wolfe's alarm clock to go off.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

I don’t blame Bohner for this. He just led the retreat when that was the only option.

I don’t like McConnell taking that bribe, though. Makes us look like a cheap floozy when we were earnest and serious. Unless the point was to make us look like a cheap floozy, to tarnish our noble stand. I’m not good enough at tricky politics to figure that one out.

Yea, that was me. Sorry, I’m a newb... I don’t get the ‘briar patch’ reference. :(

There are many of him, few of us...and it has been getting worse all the time. One of the two opposing viewpoints is correct but that doesn’t matter. Zeitgeist is all that matters. We’re on a carnival ride and the controls are out of reach. Keep your powder dry.

Don’t worry - what’s really worrying Reeves and his fellow travelers is that the Tea Party, Cruz, and the rest have figured out a way through the MSM blackout on conservative ideas and initiatives - as much as they hate the Tea Partiers, ABC, NBC, The NY Times et al have to cover them because they represent a significant portion of the electorate - and they won’t shut up and sit down - and to have their comments, even as edited as they are, reaching a significant number of the people relatively unfiltered is extremely threatening to ‘rats and the Left - why, people might actually start to find some sense in what they say and do.......

My old English teacher would have thrown my work out if I’d submitted omething like his “writ”.
And some paper actually...printed his stuff regularly?

Bill Clinton said in his 1996 state of the union “the era of big government is over”. Obambubabi defiles Clinton’s words, while his party marches forward toward Marxism.

"Until the tea party nihilists..."

This fool paid no attention when he was supposed to have been getting an education.

Russian Nihilism is the starting point of the beliefs of his beloved Socialist "change that he can believe in."

nihilism [( neye -uh-liz-uhm, nee -uh-liz-uhm)]

Nihilism is an approach to philosophy that holds that human life is meaningless and that all religions, laws, moral codes, and political systems are thoroughly empty and false. The term is from the Latin nihil, meaning “nothing.”

I get that ‘briar patch’ is a reference to Br’er Rabbit. I don’t get what “he threw us to the briar patch” means. Some analogies are not so clear to all.

Don’t forget “terrorist”, “arsonist” courtesy of Dan Pfieffer of the White House.

If we put on Guy Fawkes masks, they’d change their opinion, of Guy Fawkes.

Heres the windup...

I believe her. The states she mentioned all have Republican senators considered "RINOS" -- Republicans In Name Only -- by Palin and her ilk. She is the great symbol of youth and passion to the old men and women who believe they are losing their country to younger and darker Americans. We've heard some of that over the years as foreigners arrived to work for and share American progress: Irish and Italian Catholics, Jews from Eastern Europe, workers from China and Japan.

And the pitch!

But now, a black president? What is this world coming to? What is he doing there in "our" White House?

It's in the dirt, ump calls it... BALLL!

The little commie libs just CAN NOT resist that race card!

No actual quote, no attributing "But now, a black president?" to an actual person.

No sir, just start the incantation and soon the "journalists" arrive and start forming the circle.

The may as well be reciting Ave Satanas thirteen times. The chanter thinks it makes them look soooo cool...
