Fox Sunday night

[Gottabkiddin]

I had no intention for this thread to go in the direction that it took.Had I suspected anything of the sort,I would have never touched this keyboard.Gentlemen,please remember that we are,first and foremost,gentlemen.

Yes, but to lockout opinions is a very liberal approach to democracy, don't cha think. If someone takes a unpopular approach and decides to post it, then people are well within their rights to object and reply and even repel the liberalism that's plaguing our country as of late..... Fox News is the most fair an balanced news agency out there today. We all know it, we saw it during the election coverage. For anyone to say the majority of the news coverage was not biased, either had their eyes and ears closed, or just flat out lying for what ever reason. So, gentlemen or not, we have a duty to our country to not allow the backdoor politics and corrupt Chicago style BS to ruin this country anymore than it already has.

Moderator,I hate to do this but I respectfully request that you lock this thread.Thank you,Dietrich.

Yeah, Dietrich.. look what you started... what a controversial subject! Just joking... as I thought Jocko was when he threw the first stone, so to speak, that uncalled-for remark. I asked why he said that and tried give the reasons for my opinion, but he just started the Kool-Aid thing and wouldn't let up. I had him pegged as kinda crotchety, but amusing, and I'm shocked that he was so thin-skinned. I certainly had no idea he would get so defensive like that and I'm genuinely sorry he thought that he had to leave. He certainly didn't have to... it was like he thought that he woke up among a bunch of wild dogs and was lashing out before retreating to lick his wounds. He refused to discuss anything just insisted his opinions were firm and that we were ganging up on him.
He's only three years or so older than I, so it's not really an age thing, but it is something you see all too often... "Muh deddy was a Democrat...." and that's all they need. And when asked, that's about all they can come up with. I tried to get him to discuss why he said that, but all he did was resort to more "Kool-Aid" talk, and like a cornered animal, was looking for an escape while snarling a defense.
I really am sorry that he acted like that... the comments and the running away. I would rather he stayed and continued to liven discussions with comments and real help quite often. It's even sadder that he would choose to hide behind misbeliefs (MY opinion) and the very people who are working to betray him... and us.
Believe me, I've been biting my tongue hard since his last comment, and trying not to add to the fire, but he really acted like he had found himself amidst a bunch of people who had been replaced by the alien bodysnatchers... from the Sci-Fi movies. I don't know what world he's living in that he couldn't see whomever he's thrown himself in with are his "enemies", not us. We would defend his rights while the liberal left wants to take them away and take care of you... whether you think you're doing a good job of that or not.
I know that not everyone here believes as I do, but we do have some things in common, whether it's politics or not. I helped defend this country for 20 years in the Air Force and I swore to protect and defend our Constitution, as did OUR politicians, but most of them only gave lip-service and aren't listening to THE PEOPLE. I still try my best to defend it by discussion, but too often it's a case of don't try to confuse me with facts... my mind's made up.
Anyhow, I sorry that it ended that way... that Jocko recoiled in terror, so to speak, and went super-defensive before fleeing. I'll miss his humor and help, but I really wonder how he could be like that in this day and age. You really have to have blinders on not to see what's happening to our country and way of life -- "hell in a handbasket", indeed. That's my opinion, anyhow.
I can't see any appropriate "emoticons" ... sad and shocked?

Yeah,I hate that things turned out the way they did too.It sure as hell wasn`t my intention for things to blow up like they did but for now,I think the best thing to do is to put this thread to rest and move on.I`m going to miss Jocko and his wealth of information.Maybe after a while he`ll come back to join us.Hope so anyway.

Dietrich, you did nothing wrong at all... just trying to be helpful. And that was something I was interested in seeing, as were a few others. I keep thinking about glass houses and throwing stones and such, though.... 'nuff said.

Dietrich, compared to so many other forums, I really thought it was rather tame & civil. No one's to blame for the post going a little sideways. Hope he comes back also.

I skipped over this thread cause' I thought it was about Sunday night football.

As a seasoned keyboard gladiator, I can also back up med's statement that this thread is quite tame and docile. I have been in some real flaming wars, and this does not come close to it.

john stossel is going to be on fox buisness tonight @ 8:00 pm ,maybe what deitrich was referring to,I love the flavor of fox kool-aid

I heard Stossel on Lars yesterday. I think it's the "Crony Capitalism" story he did. "Special" friends of the left are given tax breaks and credits the rest of us don't get. Specifically a little window company who's getting special tax credits their competitors aren't getting. Just because the company's wife works for the obamanation and is in charge of passing them out. Plus other big companies who donate to dems who are getting "special" benefits.

I just got my free copy of Glenn Beck's Arguing With Idiots in the mail a few minutes ago. I got it for joining the NRA through his site. I can't wait to read that and possibly be better "armed" with words as well.
He gets emotional and carried away sometimes, but he sure can back up his words with real facts -- video and audio and print -- what a lot of people didn't do when they were voting for change.

You think it's only the damn Dems that do this? The whole bunch are a bunch of bloodsuckers who take no resposibility for the money they spend. OUR MONEY.
The only good thing I've read lately is about the Tea Party folks taking over low level local and state positions in the Republican Party. Their goal is to take back the party from the social wahoos who've lost their minds. We badly need a conservative party again to keep the left in check.

[Chief Joseph]

I couldn't agree more. We need TRUE conservatives. No more steeles or mccains. If there were ever a time to purge the RINO's it's now.

[zeitgeist]

Fox is the only source of REAL news we get outside of the conservative talk radio and the internet. Only someone who isn't paying attention could have that attitude.

They are all owned by the same people, the big media networks.

Fox isn't conservative, it's neo-con. I see Fox promote the same wars for israel type propaganda. I don't consider them conservative at all.

I agree with this. The Republicans have been wasting our money to fight wars for Israel, send them billions to illegally occupy Palestine, billions to outsource our industry to China, etc... The Republicans are just as bad and at the same time these 'conservatives' are outsourcing they are hoping to let millions of third world people into the country so that Whites may come a minority in their own country.

Republicans conservative? My ass.

This one is wandering too much and feathers are ruffled so I am going to lock down at the OP's request. Please remember there is the "report post" button at the top of each post if you want to directly call a moderator in. I was at a meeting all day yesterday, and tied up with family events at night so did not see this one. Politics are fine, just try not to get personal.

Thanks!

John
