“I have to disagree with you there. If you want something more then a short term relationship you should be her friend. You just shouldn’t be her “girl friend”. She has female friends for that (and if she doesn’t that is a major warning sign.)

But friend yes.”

That’s pretty much what I meant, not being her girlfriend. Friendship can grow from dating, but your approach should be romantic, not friends. It’s a different mindset.

There’s that term, the dreaded “friends zone”. That’s what I’m talking about.

Be true to yourself. Being a man is not negotiable, ever. If a woman cannot accept your for who you are, then you are in for a rocky road.

Do not supplicate. Kissing butt is not sexy or romantic.

Be sexy and romantic. It’s okay. You’re allowed. Forget what the media says.

Do not watch chick flicks, and do not think that’s what women really want.

LISTEN to women, especially the ones you are attracted to. They’ll tell you everything you need to know.

DO sweep her off her feet. They love that. Make sure you can wow her with one kiss. Do have good timing.

Do not be her friend. She does not want to date her friends. You are her date, you are not looking for a friend, are you?

Be honest. Don’t play games. If you like her, tell her. If you can’t, leave her alone. Don’t pretend to be her friend, they think it’s lying. If you want her, ask her out, be open that you’re interested.

Flirt. A lot.

If she asks for money or help right away, lose her number.

If you meet her friends, and only one knows about you after one or a couple dates, it’s serious. If all of her friends know, she’s a gossip. Your dating WILL be grist for the mill. Decide if you can live with that.

Make her laugh, a lot.

Wear the big boy pants. If she asks “Where are we going?”, have a plan. That’s sexy to them. Plan out the whole date. Show that you have taste, you’re organized, and you have no problem being in charge.

YOU decide when things go to the next level.

If she sleeps with you on the first date, she’s a booty call, and she does not have any respect or real interest in you, other than convenience. If she makes you wait, she really likes you.

You come first. If she pushes you away for her friends, it’s over. (Family is okay). Same for her - she comes first.

How she treats your mother is how she’ll treat you.

A woman who truly loves you will marry you flat broke, and help you get wealthy. A woman who marries for money, will care right away. All she wants is bragging rights.

A woman is not a man. Do not expect them to act or think like you. Accept them.

You are a man. Never forget that, never feel ashamed. If she tries to belittle or change you, lose her number. She has no respect for you.

A woman who loves you will cook for you. Even if it’s bad, or burned. Appreciate the effort.

Don’t try to fix everything for her. She just wants you to commiserate, and support her.

A woman who loves you will bring out your best. Do you know what that is?

Having sexual urges for a woman is okay. Do not buy into the media’s idea that it’s bad, and you should feel guilty. However, how you act on those urges is crucial. Gentlemen wait for the right moment, jerks rush in.

Romance is fun. If it’s a chore, it’s not working.

Relationships are two way streets. If you find yourself alone on the road, it’s time to move on.

Trust is more important than anything else. If she can’t keep your secrets, she’s no good. And guys? Keep your mouth shut.

Hitting is a dealbreaker, always. This is a problem with younger women these days, they know they can get away with it, and you can’t hit back. Even in jest, it’s a red flag.

I’ve found the above will attract you and help you find a decent, caring woman who will be good for you, and that you can trust. They’re rarer these days, but they’re out there, and they’re worth looking for. There’s a lot of pretty, shy, nerdy women out there alone on weekend nights, who would be wonderful girlfriends and wives, but they get overlooked for the flashy women, who are nothing but a headache in the end. Lower your standards, and know this - a woman in love with you is always beautiful.

You get what you put out there, if your bait is for trash, then you get trash. Use quality bait. :)

This cat is out of the bag, and it’s not going back in. The lines have been drawn, and the folks behind wikileaks are not backing down.

Makes you wonder what their ultimate trump card is that they may be holding...

**I bet you it will get bailed out. The only chance that it won’t is if Bachmann can pull together her Constitutional Conservative caucus and have them block it.**

Bailing out CA will open the door wide to bail out other states. NY and CA alone could bring the economy to it’s knees, and bring down the whole thing. Give them ONE dollar, and they will demand trillions more. Every special interest group, pension, union, and government office will have their hands out, and the bailout will be expected EVERY YEAR moving forward.

NY and CA may need to be sacrificed, to save the whole.

It’s an ugly truth, but there is no saving either. Republicans, had they won in either state, faced unsurmountable issues. They would have failed.

Let them sink, let the Dems take every ounce of responsibility they deserve, default, and start over. Break every union contract and pension. Then, they might have hope.

I got out of CA last year. I love CA, but I can’t afford it, and I saw the writing on the wall. I fear for my friends who remain. It is going to be ugly on the ground everywhere in the state. I fully expect marshal law or troops in the streets within a year. Any company with an ounce of sense will get out, now. Those that remain, will be driven out of business. Oakland and major stretches of LA are one riot from complete chaos, and there will be no new police added under Brown.

Pelosi, Boxer and Brown can have CA. Anything good was used up or driven out years ago. Get out, now, before it’s too late.

That tool called a sitting U.S. Congresswoman a moron, on national TV?

Why does he have a job?

He is an utter disgrace.

I’d like to shout, but I’ll get over it. Rove DESTROYED the entire night, when we should be celebrating, he peed on it all.

My thoughts, moving forward:

Any show Rove appears on, boycotted.
Any candidate that hires him, will work against them 100%.
If the GOP continues to listen to him, never a penny or a vote for them, again.
Fox News, are you listening? If he still has a job there, I will not watch anymore.
I know Levin is pissed. Hannity? Do you still want ratings? Rush?

Rove is dead to me. Period. He has disgraced his party, his principles, and all because his fragile ego was broken because a little girl beat the pants off his candidate.

With people like Rove, why bother fighting the eventual Socialist takeover?

Karl Rove, you should be ashamed of yourself. But you’re not, and that’s why you have to go. For good.

Listen up, GOP. Rove means you lose it all. All the money, all the votes.

Ignore this at your peril.

It’s not fair to blame Karl Rove. Sir, I want to shout at you right now, but I am going to try and hold my temper. Karl Rove went before the American People tonight, and told us all, that her loss "taught us a lesson", which cannot be interpreted any way, except he's teach US a lesson, in street language, "Screw you, you beat my candidate, I took the election away from you". It is beyond offensive, beyond rude, beyond decorum for him to have done that, after weeks of attacking a CONSERVATIVE candidate, who would have knocked out a Democrat. It is unforgiveable. I'm sorry you can't see that. Or, perhaps, you are part of the problem, as is Rove? You need to question why you defend him, and why you don't think he's to blame. He spit in the face of EVERY principle that he worked under with President Bush, and has made a mockery of the Republican leadership. It's a shame you disagree. Good day, sir.

I would vote for Bachman over Palin, she’s more of a leader.

I know she’s a favorite around here, and that’s fine, but my gut feeling is she cannot win. She has been so demonized and made into such a polarizing figure that her entering the race would energize Democrat voters to vote against her.

She would be much better as head of the NRC - and start in November, clearing that house of it’s corruption and deadweight, and rally the voters and other politicians into SUPPORT, which is what is most needed in 2012. ‘12 is going to be the fight of the millenium, and I just don’t see her winning. ‘12 is not just the Presidency, it’s also a lot of Senators who are sitting this one out, like Pelosi.

Granted, I don’t see anyone else out there yet, but there’s time.

I will state, however, with full conviction, that if the RNC is stupid and sleazy enough to run McCain, I will vote for her in a heartbeat as an independant, and urge everyone I know to do the same, and will campaign with her against McCain.

My fears of Palin are mostly because of her history, and how the left reacts - she’s our Hillary. But McCain is just sleazy and dishonest and scum, and if the RNC supports another Presidential run, I will never vote for or acknowledge the RNC as long as the current crop of politicians running it are still there.

“Simple solution... Just stop spending on everything except the essentials

I would say that everyone, not just the wealthy, should radically cut spending as a protest to 0bama and his socialist/Marxist bs”

That’s already happening.

This isn’t Marxism, anyway, it’s Liberal Fascism. Obama is closer to Mussolini than Marx or Lenin.

He will refuse to EVER admit he was wrong, even if it means the complete default of the US Government and industry.

His ego will kill us all. It’s time for the Surgeon General to start diagnosing his fitness for office - mental illness is a valid reason to remove him from office.

"This is impeachment revolution material." Fixed that for you.

Who cares what a movie director thinks?

I have educated myself on Islam, it’s tenets, and it’s society.

It’s a brutal, ignorant society, that rewards killing and death, subjugates women horrifically, and is bent on destroying or subjugating the entire planet. They are backwards as a people, violent to each other and the rest of the world, unable to be reformed meaningly, and unfit for civilized society. They are stuck in the stone age, intellectually, and worse, politically.

I made an adult, civilized, intelligent DECISION to reject Islam, to avoid it, to fight it, and I find ANY mosque on our land an insult and an offense, as it represents a religion and government and society that insults and offends me.

I don’t care if the mythical “moderate” muslims are insulted or offended by this position, because if they are not *actively* fighting to overthrow or reform Islam, then they are part of the problem.

Any American who supports them is also part of the problem. To them, I ask: So you support the worship of a religion, and “reaching out”, that circumcises women, kills women for the simple act of being flirty, that openly supports if not outright orders their believers to lie, cheat, and kill us non-believers? You support a society that, if allowed to fester and allowed to implement their “sharia” law, would fling civilized society back hundreds, if not thousands of years?

I find I must now judge people by their attitudes towards Islam. If they support it, after being told of the horrific behavior of muslims, then I find them to be useless and a danger to me and mine, and our collective freedom. I find it highly disturbing and offensive that liberals would throw freedom of religion in our faces after decades of a fanatical and vicious attack on Christians, and it angers me at levels that scare me. It’s not about Muslim faith with them, anyway, it’s being 180 directly opposite conservatives, because that’s the only game they know, as taught to them by the useful idiots in government and media.

There is no “reaching out” to these people. There is no assimilating them into our country and society, as their beliefs and behavior are poisonous to the free people of the civilized world. There is certainly no appeasement of them, either.

To me, this is exactly the same decision we had to make about Nazis in WWII. They could not be suffered to live, as a movement, government, and state religion. They had to be destroyed, as their ideas and beliefs and behavior was so offensive and horrifically destructive to civilized nations, and the Muslim world is now equal to me on those terms. They have nothing to teach me, offer me, or enrich me. They are a blight on humanity.

I have chosen.

Few have.

The time is coming, when you may have to choose, with a blade at your throat.

We only have ourselves to blame. There is no “Well, maybe some of them are good”. They, as a collective, are bad. They must be wiped out, utterly, through reform, or bloodshed. There is no other way.

That’s why, when asked about the mosque in NYC, I say I’m against *any* mosque in this country, political correctness be damned for eternity. Any mosque offends me, for what it represents. To me, it is as damning and negative a symbol as a pentagram, or the swastika.

My only relief in these times is the majority of Americans are coming around to my point of view. I know I’m in the extreme, but I feel, in the case, the extreme is the only place you can choose.

“Great points throughout.

The liberals have such disdain for the people. You can see that in issue after issue. Whether the issues are taxes and spending, Obamacare, same-sex marriage, where to build a mosque, the liberal ruling class denigrates the opposition. They just don’t have differing opinions, instead, name-calling and insults are their calling cards.

We are all xenophobic, homophobic, and full of “hate” if we deign to question the decisions and policies of the liberal ruling elites.

They are very much into the one-liner put downs. If you oppose or even question a mosque at ground zero, you are bigoted, racist, intolerant, etc. If you oppose or question same-sex marriage, you are homophobic, intolerant, etc. On any issue, the liberal view is that opponents are hateful and that’s why they oppose the liberals. In truth, it’s the liberals who spew hate when these debates get underway.”

Liberalism was hijacked in the 60’s by this current pack of scoundrels, and perverted from their true beliefs into this current “I know better than anyone else” mindset that has infected them all.

They think they know better than anyone, and nothing is beyond their corrupt, prying fingers. Educational techniques that worked for thousands of years? Pish tosh, they know better, and they’ve destroyed education with their idiocy. Society? They know better than what made us strong and confident and stable as a nation, and gutted it all with “free love”, “no fault divorce”, guilt-free abortion, and redefining marriage. Raising kids? They know better than the parents going back millions of years knew, and have been raising generations of monsters who only care for themselves, and think the world owes them anything their heart desires. Media? It’s been gutted, the standards that made our journalists respected were thrown out the window in favor of activism. Even things like movies reflect their weak and pitiful minds - not content to allow past works of the masters stand, they dare to take (steal) and “remake” and “revisualize”, throwing in political correct pap and stink and taking out what made the material great in the first place (and rewrite history when they can).

You name it, the liberal mindset has eaten away at it like acid, perverting and destroying as they go, throwing tantrums when anyone tries to clean up after them, and fix things.

Look at our nation, with ghettos in every city growing by year, a failing media, a destroyed economy, our kids dumb and getting dumber, college kids who have been told that growing dreadlocks and drum circles are a perfectly fine way to go through college - and are rewarded for them, parentless children, millions upon millions hooked on mood altering drugs, entire cities dependant upon liberal do-gooders who insist minorities cannot get ahead unless a white liberal helps them, massive debt, rotting society, rising crime, criminals who know liberal judges will just slap their wrist and feel sorry for their bad childhood, lying is commonplace and rarely subjected to censure, manners are a thing of the past, no guilt for ANYTHING,...and it’s all from the people who hijacked liberals in the 60’s and so corrupted their own party, they actually believe the nonsense they spew.

“The trouble with “low-fat” versions of things is that they almost always pile on more salt to address the lack of flavor. As a result I make a lot of my own stuff now, such as mayonnaise, salad dressing, etc.”

Or they fill it with HCFS (corn syrup) to sweeten it.

Fat is what gives food flavor. Say “no fat” in front of any self-respecting chef, and he’ll curse at you and throw pots and pans at you.

But, in the minds of too many people, dietary fat = body fat, period, without understanding that moderate amounts of fat are okay, as long as you are eating a healthy diet, and get exercise.

People who eat low fat have a very unappetizing, unsatisfactory eating regime, which is no surprise, as lot of them tend to be the grim, tight lipped liberal types.

“I am not 2nd guessing history and I’ve heard all the arguments for and reasons why we dropped the bomb. Yet, even so, I think of the children happily playing in the streets, the moms reading books to thier children, and all those kinds of things as a bomb comes falling down from the sky. Rather than fight army to army, we chose to drop hellacious bombs on civilians, it just doesn’t sit well with me, and I hope it never happens again. I’m proud to be an American and greatful to the Good Lord that I was born here, and my children, nonetheless, when I think of those bombs, I think of those things.”

It’s okay to feel that way, any life lost in war is a tragedy. But remember, too, our citizens, military and civilian, who were bombed and killed one sunny morning in Pearl Harbor, when no state of war existed. We had to drop those bombs, because hundreds of thousands of more lives would be lost trying to invade the island of the nation that would never surrender. It was probably one of the hardest decisions to make, to drop those bombs, in the history of the world.

I was behind a car yesterday with the “survivor of Pearl Harbor” plate on it. Ask them, if we did the right thing. Ask them if your feelings are okay - and I think you’ll find that they agree with you, but also know from being there, why we had to do it.

It’s something that will never reconcile itself for anyone. We didn’t start the war, but we HAD to end it, to stop the killing of millions of our people, and theirs.

“Purges? Puh-leeze. Feel free to identify those “thoughtful and mature” posters that were “purged”. I’ve been a member of FR for nearly 12 years, and JimRob has never run off anyone who didn’t deserve a zot.”

While there may not have been any official “purges”, a LOT of people are gone from this site, for various reasons. I myself left, at the height of the housing insanity, because I got tired of being accused of being a liberal for questioning the insanity going in with housing and liar loans, and being accused of trying to damage President Bush by daring to question it all. I know a lot of people felt the same way I did, and I don’t see them posting anymore.

All I know is this place is not half of what it used to be, which is a shame. There was a lot of nastiness over issues like the housing boom, Palin, etc.., and while it might not be JimRob doing it, some might see it that way if they don’t spend all day reading here - all they know is people they saw people stop posting.

The only problem with your stance is that you expect the Republicans to follow the rules (the Constitution), when the other side has expressly shown nothing but contempt for the rules. It’s a recipe to lose.

Now is the time for the Republicans to do everything in their power to educate the public on what’s happening, do everything in their power to stop it, starting with removing Pelosi from her Chair, and then impeaching her (this is MORE than enough grounds to do just that), and start impeachment proceedings one Obama and anyone else involved. To do less is to betray those who they claim to represent.

It’s going to take more than just November. Relying on the elections is not enough. If the same Republicans remain in power, of the party and the newly elected...it’s all been wasted effort. All of it. The only reason the elections would be suspended is because the Republicans allowed it!

The Republicans walking out now would be a start. And welcome, in the face of the endless silence from them. They NEED us to re-elect them, yet they do nothing to EARN that.

We are angry. Why are they not angry? Why are they hiding? Why should we vote for them in November, and expect them to fix a single thing, when none of them, with the possible exception of Issa, will put their necks out and risk anything?

Now is the time for action, not waiting. November may be too late. If anything, they should have started talking impeachment during the healthcare fiasco. Even if they can’t win, they need to bring this stuff up, keep it in the headlines, and pound the Democrats daily about this stuff, instead of relying on talk show hosts to do their heavy lifting for them.

I can’t even recall an interview, sound bite, or interview where a Republican was a tenth as upset about any of this as Mark Levin gets. That’s scary to me. Where’s the anger from the Republican party? When’s the last time you saw the head of the party?

Half of my anger is at the Dems, the other half is firmly on the spineless, weak, cowardly Republicans who refuse to work FOR us.

Like I said, they ALL need to be fired, if they won’t act. Wait until November? No. Too much can happen between then and now.

“Exactly. The fact that they aren’t should tell you everything you need to know about them. Well not you, you seem to get it quite well. I’m talking about the other Freepers who think that the GOP is still going to save them.”

Oh, I get it. I’m watching the GOP throw up their hands and act like Kagan is a fait accompli for the Supreme Court, nothing they can do, hey, don’t look at us.

It’s disgusting.

On top of that...where are the Tea Parties? They were everywhere in April...now, it’s a deafening silence. There should be protests everywhere on the 4th. They should be screaming from the rooftops.

We might hold a revolution...but will anyone show up?
