The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

You didn't point to the worst thread!

Other thread titles:

WTF? Why are they Celebrating?
OK, so NOW do we get to concentrate on the economy?
yay.... we brought anarchy to Iraq.... woohoo?
Would you vote for your pet over Bush?
Why are we paying soldiers to vandalize statues?

It is a flippin' carnival!

I DON'T KNOW!!!

It's not worth my effort, but I'm tempted to get on, post a slamming post and get myself banned. I can't believe them.

But I'm trying to forget what I read and am concentrating on what's going on! :-D

DUers question: "How much did they pay him to do that?"

I've only been over there a few times, and found it mostly amusing. They're soooo predictable...almost like parodies of leftist idealogy. No logic involved...I could fake DU posts, since you don't have to know WHY they think they way they do. They don't have arguments to back up what they say!

Just be a spectator DT.... don't let them get you mad. They are like watching the Jerry Springer show. It is funny, 'cuz I check in there a lot.

Two weeks ago, we were sure to lose this war and they were reporting that thousands of body bags had been ordered.

One week ago we were slaughtering a country and killing children.

Yesterday we were a oppressive regime hated by the locals and sure to be mired down and killed.

They are so ticked off that everything they postulated about and made fun of us for was wrong. (being fools, believing the president, believing in the humanity of our soldiers) They are seeing before their very eyes that they were wrong, and they can't figure out how to handle it. They are breaking up into the "Don't believe what you see, this is a lie" to "OK so maybe I said this war was a mistake but...." "Someone come up with something negative for us to talk about here! - Find me some dirt on this! - If this succeeds we are toast!"

What's especially amusing to me is that if anyone dares to say anything even SLIGHTLY supportive of this war (or Bush, who they hate so much it's ludicrous!), the other DUers turn on that person and scold them. No conservatives can do ANY right, I guess! It's funny.

Rosie: You are SO right...it's so easy to fake DU posts isn't it? Because there is NO LOGIC

Hair: I'll try! For the most part I am amused by them, but for THIS I'm more mad than anything. So I'll try to stay away from that thread!

Was it the same studio they used for filming the Saddam statue being torn down?

Heh.... You know posting DU links is forbidden! - I think the title of the thread is something like "This will make you want to puke" But there are actually about three threads of the same picture with different titles.

I am finding myself interested in their attempts to figure out how to spin this apparent success into inevitable failure. And they will find their evidence, because the risks are high. There will be many skirmishes and burps in this even if it goes very well. We can't forget that Iraq is full of people who hate each other. Sometimes miracles happen and people can unite over the victory of a common enemy they all hate, but when they sit down tomorrow and try to actually figure out what to do next, it will not be smooth. They will need a mediator of incredible skill to work this out. Prayers for Colin Powell are needed now. I am glad he is with us (just try to imagine his predecessor) We very definately can't leave this place unguarded. Prayers that our country, and our media can be patient enough to weather the bumps without screaming like girlie elves (that was in honor of OT's birthday) and running for home on the first bad day.

Heh.... I need some breakfast. Freedom Toast anyone?
