I, for one, enjoyed reading “The Battle of Bunkerville”. Rather than post under the proper subject thread, I will leave my comment in the new fresh cleaned sandbox. Smells like the fresh ocean breeze in Springtime with a waffe of coastal wildflower blooms. Better than a douche commercial. I feel cleansed and may we sin no more. The sandbox is where the action is.

The world has gone vulgar I tell ya. Problem with the link below is 99% of the sentiments quoted are true. I would rather be vulgar than an unreliable alley. If nobody can trust us, who can they turn to? Stupid question. They will turn to those who have their best interests in mind or mutual interests at the least. Ole John Kerry must be busier than an one eye man at a burlesque show.

George, I left your blog in peace 2 weeks ago. I was done commenting here for good. I even wished everyone well as my parting words. Since then, Greg has continued to cyberstalk me, and you have allowed this to continue.
This is your final warning. You are instructed to remove or moderate Greg’s cyberstalking comments regarding me, my business, and any other personal items about me in Greg’s comments. I will check back in the morning to read your reply.LikeLike

If a person comments here using their real name and their business is advertised on the internet and elsewhere, it is not stalking.

Michael P. Anderson, you need a better dictionary. Cyberstalking?
How was your continual “stalking” of me here, revealing to search engines my full name despite repeated requests to stop, any different? I wrote clearly that, were you to continue I’d not be avoiding naming your business, and you continued. Then there was your fantastic advice to GR to follow the terms of use guidance of a UK website running scared in a 1st Amendment free environment, and not a US or even a California website.
“When identifying cyberstalking “in the field,” and particularly when considering whether to report it to any kind of legal authority, the following features or combination of features can be considered to characterize a true stalking situation: malice, premeditation, repetition, distress, obsession, vendetta, no legitimate purpose, personally directed, disregarded warnings to stop, harassment, and threats.”
-CyberAngels
I asked you to stop your cyberbullying, following me around, tagging my posts with my full name for the benefit not of any regular reader but your obvious desire for search engines to pick up your harassments, and told you straight that continuing would remove any reticence I might have to mention you and your business. You did not stop; that line was breached. Then you made a show of leaving.
Wearing a false mantle of victimhood does not become you or your business, Mike. Give it a rest.
If you decide to go forward with legal harassments as you seem to be threatening, you might want to make sure that “dossier” you have claimed multiple times to have on me actually holds water, assuming you have even put something together that fits the facts you think you have.LikeLike

MichaelA 820pm – Pray, of what dire consequence are you again “warning” me. Your instructions to people are sounding more imperious than ever. You have littered comment streams here and elsewhere with enough personal insults to remove any hope of your being held as the one aggrieved in these exchanges in which you so heartily engage. The blogs are a public billboard, you contend on them with full knowledge that what you throw out will be thrown back with interest.
I recommend that you try leaving in peace one more time, and see if things won’t settle down with no more “cyberstalking”. From what I understand of your use of this term, I have been cyberstalked for years by the FUE and his cadre of commenters (you included) both gratuitously and when they have needed to discuss a real issue. In any event, I wish you well in your endeavors.LikeLike

Cross posted at Todds!
That is strange since you, fish, bill, and other rebane rightwing regulars mention me frequently even though I am not posting there any longer.
Why would you wonder at this? For as long as I have been here you have been a regular commenter and ardent proselytizer for your proggie faith. If you don’t want others to discuss that which you freely offer in a public space perhaps keeping a journal would be more to your liking.
Now, while your I find your daily displays of cognitive dissonance routinely entertaining and occasionally infuriating I simply couldn’t let your last attempt at low rent psychoanalysis pass without comment. As I said Ben, I don’t care that you didn’t serve…and frankly think that you probably saved whatever branch of the armed forces that you might have preferred a great deal of time and money by not joining and thereby obviating the need to go find you after you pulled a Bowe Bergdahl and traipsed off to be “in solidarity” with the Afghan or Iraqi masses. I don’t care why Todd didn’t enlist either and unless you can show me differently I will assume that he would have served had his draft number been called. As you said, Todd was correct for not going whatever his reasons at the time
That you are correct in a general sense regarding war doesn’t shield you from criticism from your implicit denigration of the service of others who didn’t have the opportunity to serve in your “The Approved Mid Century Conflict – a Ben Emery joynt”.
Now since the big outside world is a scary place you should probably scurry back to jeffys rabbit warren where you can comment in a safe, warm and nurturing environment where you will doubtlessly be more comfortable. We wouldn’t want you to have to express sentiments like this again; ”Trying make their lives mean something while putting the rest of us in danger.” Danger…danger danger…there’s danger about….danger….!
I would be happy to engage you directly at Porcines but he censors and frequently heads for the fainting couch when he loses control of the discussion. Funny for a “newsman” and supposed champion of the right to free speech.

Since the US Patent and Trademark Office has revoked the name Washington Redskins from trademark protection, there is a now a dilemma was to what to name the team. Perhaps some of our enlightened readers can help by contributing suggestions for the team’s new name to the franchise in their hour of need.
Some of the ones I heard so far are excellent.
1) The Washington Skinheads. 2). The Washington Red Skin Potatoes. 3) The Washington Helmet Warning Stickers 4) The Washington Deficits 5)The Washington Caucasians, or The Washington Not Racists 6) The Washington Race Baiters 7)Washington Cover-ups, 8) The Washington Sensitivity Trainers 9)Washington Politically Correct Hypocrites and #10), which is more of a comment than a name: How about Virginia Redskins? Or maybe Maryland Redskins? The Washington part is the most offensive to me.LikeLike

The Purple Man lying again.
. . . our native son Mark Meckler, who wants to help fill open seats on boards and commissions throughout the county and local cities with like-minded candidates under the guise of “Americans for Good Government.” Like Donnelly, Meckler carried a loaded gun to the airport. . .
According to a presentation by Mark Meckler he did have a gun in the airport. It was in a FAA approved locked gun case unloaded, with the ammo in a sperate place in his luggage. He reported the gun to the screeners, and was over heard by the New York Police, who arrested him for having a gun in New York. He did not carry loaded gun to the airport.
And, he wants us the believe all his other crap. How do we know when he is lying and when he is telling the truth? Oh!LikeLike

Perfect explanation for why someone during his career went from working from big outfits to smaller and smaller and smaller outfits. You can chart the steady decline on a graph. Had a manager once that had a parallel career path. Start off overseeing big impressive crews, but each seceding job he got was for a smaller than the last crew. When he made it to Grass Valley, he got canned. Ethics and morals is important in every industry, in every walk of life. It follows you. “No matter where you go, you take you with you” is an truism that applies in this pathetic case. Saddens me greatly as a mind is a terrible thing to waste.

JoKe,
Racism is a little like Goldsteinism it serves as a focusing point for lefty unity.
“The reader may surmise that a political opposition to Big Brother — namely, Goldstein — was psychologically necessary in order to distract, unite and focus the anger of the people of Oceania. Ostensibly, Goldstein serves as a convenient scapegoat for the totalitarian regime in Nineteen Eighty-Four, and justifies its surveillance and elimination of civil liberties.

Just another day at the EPA:
EPA set to control climate — yet cannot control employees! EPA Employees Told to Stop Pooping in the Hallway
Environmental Protection Agency workers have done some odd things recently. Contractors built secret man caves in an EPA warehouse, an employee pretended to work for the CIA to get unlimited vacations and one worker even spent most of his time on the clock looking at pornography.
A regional office has reached a new low: Management for Region 8 in Denver, Colo., wrote an email earlier this year to all staff in the area pleading with them to stop inappropriate bathroom behavior, including defecating in the hallway. In the email, obtained by Government Executive, Deputy Regional Administrator Howard Cantor mentioned “several incidents” in the building, including clogging the toilets with paper towels and “an individual placing feces in the hallway” outside the restroom.

Joe K, my ancestors ate up your forefathers up at Donner Summit and I have zero quilt. None, nilch, nil. Heck, they even got along great and had a Truckee Injun for dinner before my great great grand pappy had your great great grand pappy over for dinner. “Koyote tastes like ripe banana!” he wrote in his diary. Thanks for helping my forefather make it through the winter.
I, too, even have a couple of friends that are crackers. No problem except their white women stink and burn easily at the beach. Ah, once you get past the stink you got it licked. I have grown to accept my white friends and co-workers over the years. I realize it ain’t their fault, they were born that way.
No use hating the whitey libholes no more. They hate themselves enough already. Hard to play the victim when you are the oppressor, ain’t it libbie whitebreads? All that pricey education money down the tubes. When the revolution comes there will be no more crackers or BS.

So the LIB ” mico aggressors” are crying foul, and threatening litigation? LOL!! One thing is for certain. LIBS have a hard time dealing in facts , let alone the rule of law. Do point out in the Bill of Rights where it states “the right to not be offended”.
We are seeing just how a given set of Progressive LIBS handle “I.T.” information, and the rule of law on how those records are to be treated.
Hell.. Now the EPA is using the “Learner” game plan. ” Uh,, our emails are no longer available due to a hard drive crash… Sorry for your tough luck Congress…”
And speaking of the EPA,, one of their top personnel that’s under investigation has skipped the country, and is reportedly in New Zealand. ” Nope,, I’m not going to testify”. ( The Pebble mine BS)

“If you really are so concerned about our historical buildings and historical standing (which by in no way is at any risk — that was just more fear mongering), perhaps you should focus on forcing buildings owners to actually maintain their buildings. They look like crap and are falling apart. I can literally put my hand through some of their walls. WHERE IS THE HISTORIC SOCIETY?? THEIR HISTORIC BUILDINGS ARE DECAYING and the only thing keeping them together are the terminates holding hands.
This isn’t about historical anything, This is about maniacal control of a dying generation who, hell or high water, if they are going down, their taking everyone down with them. Lights are a simple, cheap, and beautiful way to draw people into our town. Ummmm, have you noticed, tax revenue and paying our city bills are a growing issue in this town? What steps have you taken to improve upon our town and its economy, Mr. French? The terrazzo lights have already proven they are of great benefit including improved foot traffic business for the local merchants.
If you don’t like what you see on the streets, Mr. French, may I suggest you get down into them and throw some skin in the game? Cowards only cast stones from the sidelines. Really. What have you done for this community lately?”
-Mayor Reinette Senum at Pelline’s blog
Ms.Senum apparently doesn’t care for older Nevada City residents, and doesn’t realize she can’t string enough lights to make up for the loss of manufacturers, such as the company formerly known as The Grass Valley Group, who were the ones really paying the bills. Not only taxes paid by the company but hefty paychecks that were a mainstay of Nevada City and Grass Valley residents and taxpayers for many a year.
Going, going… Stringing bright shiny objects to lure in tourist dollars isn’t going to make a difference.LikeLike

re Gregory 114pm – I recall reading accounts from the departing lifeboats that the Titanic had an almost festive air about it when all of its deck and cabin lights were turned on. The only thing that seemed to detract from the spectacle was the steepening bow down angle of the ship as it continued to take on water.

Seems that the editor of WorldNetDaily got popped at the airport with a handgun in his luggage. Bad form….! Apparently he gets threats from lefty nut jobs all the time. It seems that, if you subscribe to the rationale of a certain contributor here, they get their “marching orders” from SPLC literature.
Aug. 15, 2012, a gunman attempting to enter Family Research Council’s Washington, D.C., headquarters shot a security guard, 46-year-old Leonardo Johnson, in the left arm. While injured, Johnson assisted others who wrestled the gunman to the ground until police arrived and placed the gunman under arrest.
During his FBI interview, the gunman, Floyd Corkins was asked how he chose his target. His response was “Southern Poverty Law, lists … uh … anti-gay groups. I found them online.” Corkins appeared in court the following day and was charged with assault with intent to kill while armed and interstate transportation of a firearm and ammunition. An affidavit filed in the case stated that Corkins had told the guard “words to the effect of ‘I don’t like your politics.’”
When Corkins was arrested, investigators found 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches in his backpack. He told the FBI he planned to kill as many people as he could at FRC and then smash the sandwiches in their faces. The head of Chick-fil-A had announced opposition to same-sex marriage.
A week later, Corkins was indicted on three charges: two charges in the District of Columbia, possession of a handgun during a violent crime and assault with intent to kill, and interstate transportation of a firearm and ammunition, a federal charge. In January 2013, Corkins pleaded guilty to crossing state lines with guns and ammunition, intent to kill while armed and committing an act of terrorism with the intent to kill. Corkins was sentenced to 25 years in prison on Sept. 19, 2013.

Only if you believe that people have no self control and the mere expression of ideas sets them off like automatons. Floyd Corkins twisted off after reading the SPLC bilge….I’m guessing that 10,000 other people read it and got through their day with little more than mild stomach upset. Many more people read and followed accounts surrounding l’Affaire Bundy a very small subset of those rushed off to participate. Of that much smaller set of precisely zero people felt compelled to shoot at the Feds. People go nuts all the time for a myriad of reasons. The attempt to link discussions regarding these events to subsequent actions where the evidence is so weak is meant only to stifle discussion.
