I am shocked many Sox fans HATE the Hawk, best home run and strike out calls EVER!
Aw...boy it must be really sad to be you, not getting sucked up to by the folks here at FR any more. Wah.
What you posted about Palin wasn’t “politically incorrect,” it was vile garbage. And it would fit right in on DU, as would your description of President Bush and your assertion that Barack Obama will be good for this country’s image
As for consistency, I consistently don’t fire my shotgun through my front door every day, but you can bet that if some guy was trying to break in through it to hurt my family, I would blast away. Barack Obama and the people in his orbit are a huge threat to this nation and you say “consistency” should require us to let them waltz into the Oval Office. That’s why you’re getting flak here at FR, because you’re pushing for a liberal result and calling it conservatism. Because you say in the name of consistency we shouldn’t vote for the more conservative and competent of two candidates. That’s idiotic, the foolish consistency that is the hobgoblin of small minds.
So suck it up, princess. As long as you’re helping Obama on this board, you’ll be getting flak.
“...when a small and nearly defenseless country was stomped on in a mismatch of superpower proportions favor the superpower.”
Like the Nazis, perhaps? You’ve got the wrong ethnic group to point that finger at, amigo. Why I come read FR is to get a mindset of what I consider the “thinking, conservative, loyal, and judicious” side of our gov’t. Needless to say, I see where we’re going. Sad but true, everything that comes our way from here on out we asked for...no, we made it happen.....enjoy. And in the meanwhile, remember what every nation that held our power in the past eventually corrupted and doomed itself with.
“If the Serbs had taken the side of the Georgians, they would have scored not a small number of propaganda points. But they did the exact opposite, and know a left wondering why they are being mistreated.”
Wake up, pretty boy. Serbs took no side. You show me where a Serbian politician backed what happened. No, not where they warned the world it would happen, since that was the main point....where they said it was totally acceptable. Get that through your thick, ignorant skull. Get with the program or GTFO. International law means jack sh** nowadays, thanks to our country’s actions. These are called repercussions, get used to them and stop crying, or stop paying attention to politics.

There she is. The Democrat response to your position. Odd...you’re right on par with the left side! You know what? You may as well be one, since you see the same way on this one. And who said these two opposite sides can’t meet on common ground? God bless Bill Clinton, I guess. I think the point of the poster you responded to was that all of our potential presidents have one thing in common...total stupidity. I’m with him, Bugs Bunny in ‘08! My only hope is that McCain wins and keels over shortly after, since Mrs. Palin is the only one I know little enough about to at least offer some sort of optimistic hope towards. Otherwise, we’re in for a bumpy ride.
PS - If anything, that lady is a true blue American. Serbia doesn’t make ‘em like that. Yugo’s you can attack at will...fine...bash ‘em all you want...they were a joke for a car, but Serbian women don’t and never will look anything like that. My condolences if your wife does.
“I am shocked many Sox fans HATE the Hawk, best home run and strike out calls EVER!”
That guy is the sole reason I became a Cubs fan. God bless him.
Um. Okidoki.
That's what I've been telling people! Granted, Hawk has gotten a bit whiney about the umpires lately, but his home run call is the best I've ever heard. Nobody's even comes close. People don't realize that there's only a couple Vin Scullys or Steve Stones around baseball. All I ask of my announcer is to drop an interesting story about baseball once in awhile, and give me a nice jolt when the Sox crush a dinger.
One day in the not too distant future, we're all gonna really miss the old Hawkaroo.
“People don’t realize that there’s only a couple Vin Scullys or Steve Stones around baseball.”
Oh, man...Steve Stone. I miss that guy, I truly do. Never mention his name in a forum I’m involved in, please....EVER.
PS - GO CUBBIES!
I wish he could have done the WS. His YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS at the end would have something.
Some Sox fans listen to the radio, they synced the broadcast with the tv.
I'm talking about the Serbs on this forum, who were posting Russian propaganda from Russian state-owned media, posting articles excised of pro-Western commentary in order to support that propaganda, and even gloating about Georgian casualties. Meanwhile, kind, generous, decent Serbs like you (ha!) remained silent.
And don't give me any BS about international law. If it means jack now, it meaned jack then. I'm glad the Serbs lost a good portion of their country. They didn't deserve it.
I can't say I'm a huge fan of the Hawk (interestingly enough, because of his homerun-call and his constant reminiscing about Boston), but he's acceptable. I like Farmer and Stone, and if anyone ever wishes to hear a joke of a radio broadcast tune in the Cubs guys. Simply awful.
Getoffmylawn and I were discussing his disgusting comments about our president and our VP candidate and his endorsement of Obama's foreign policy. I would also point out that I never said anything about Serbian women until he said that my wife is a huge whale, and even then I never insulted Serbs. BTW, do you believe, as getoffmylawn does, that Barack Obama will fix ouur international image?
As for voting for Bugs Bunny...you're not arguing with me, you're arguing with Reagan.
Please tell my you know the difference between foreign policy and the perception of America by foreign countries. I stand by my belief that America's prestige would grow in the eyes of the world if Obama were elected. They would look at election of McCain and the continuation of Junior's policies as yet another in the long line of recent mis-steps made by the United States of America.
You don't really believe there are going to be Serbs that vote for Obama, especially after he's chosen Biden for a running mate, do you? I know a lot of Serbs, and not one single one of them has told me their going to vote for Obama/Biden. That would be like the Jews fighting to get David Duke in office. It's just ridiculous.
While Jorge was looking into Putin's eyes and finding his soul, Putin saw "sucker" written on his forehead.... uh duh, what next Mr. Magoo?
This thread is about how the good buddies of John McCain, the murdering Albanian terrorists of Kosovo, were holding the lives of Serbian babies and old folks for ransom. It's no secret that McCain considers the KLA scum bag pigs his friends and allies. I may despise Biden and Holbrooke more than any other men on this planet, but John McCain ain't far behind.
I'm also not impressed at all with Palin. I refuse to drink that Kool-aid. Maybe its because I grew up playing hockey, and I've met way too many hockey moms, but I think I'm much more qualified than she is.
This entire election is a farce to good Serbian people. I had a severe emotional reaction to what the KLA was doing to the Serb babies. To think that people could support someone that would support the behavior of the KLA just boggles my mind and sometime I just lose it.
To me, the truly deranged are Biden, McCain, Dole, Holbrooke, Albright and the Clintons. Sorry, but McCain is on that list, and he'll remain on that list as long as he is on the payroll of the Albanian narco-terrorist thugs that are trying to steal Kosovo from Serbia.
After telling us for nearly a decade that the first war was wrong, people are now arguing the second war is right because it is similar to the first. Which can only lead to two conclusions: 1. they were full of crap all along, or 2. the first war is now "acceptable" by their own standard.So what's it gonna be, montyspython?
So YOU tell me what's it going to be 1rudeboy, gonna pull your head out of your ass and rediscover integrity?
