   Mr. Pruitt, sounds like the movie “America” was well attended. Unfortunately I opted to see Obama’s new movie, The Jerk II. Best quote was “All I need is this pen, this phone, these golf clubs and this lamp.”

   Fish, it appears Ben and Stevie disapprove of the question, but I would think it important for Jeff’s super obese readers to know if there were hidden charges for folks who can’t actually fit in the seats.

   It is embarrassing what goes on Rebane’s Ruminations. George how about being the yard duty at your playground and let the kids know that this type of behavior isn’t acceptable.

But as soon as those two charlatans are exposed they scurry off to hide under their respective hard surfaces. Two lonely boys. LOL!

   Steve,
   I wonder if they would have approved this if their kids behaved like this in elementary school?
   Greg and Fish,
   I guess that is your Jiminy Cricket question you need to ask yourself before you hit post.
   In elementary school I certainly wouldn’t!
   Now excepting the general maturity levels of cast of characters here (on both sides), and specifically as an example, your constant and overweening display of demonstrably childish and destructive progressive politics….. this isn’t “elementary school”.
   As I’ve said Ben, I’m not here to convince you. I’m here to mock that which is stupid and destructive. Unfortunately for us both that means I have to waste time discussing your political and social views.
   Now correct me if I’m wrong but last weekend you “tapped out” metaphorically speaking…felt that you were ….sniff ….”being bullied”….sniff? Since then I have, at your request, refrained from either addressing you or referring to your comments here or on any other of the local blogs.
   Have we decided to rejoin the fray?

   During a recent vacation in Kiawah Island, S.C., Biden reconnected with old political friends. He played golf with Dick Harpootlian, a former state party chairman, who suggested that Biden is far more “authentic” than Clinton.
   I can say honestly…..the United States of America deserves Shotgun Joe Biden.

   Fish, in all due respect, there has never been scheduling issues @ Western Gateway Park (a rare flat spot in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Range with a little creek running thru it chalk full of beavers and leeches.). My kind of place. There is the pleasant sight on a daily basis of sweet maidens walking their canines, people picnicking on the tables placed all about, others enjoying the distant disc golf course away from the pavilion. Always some activity on the back side of the park beyond the beaver and leech creek and before the baseball diamonds. Clean restrooms to boot. In fact, I visit the park solely to pull in and make a quick pit stop to relieve my bladder when in the area.
   There are no issues such as one finds at Pioneer Park near Lardo’s abode. The only issues at Western Gateway are that in one small area of the green grass is a modest concert stage used for music and events. Apparently, some tub of lard surmises that events are being scheduled by some old white folks that do not share his world view, especially considering you can see the back of the pavilion from one of the disc golf baskets. Yep, in the self centered control freak mind, that is taking over the park. Go figure.
   The tragedy of trying to control everybody and every little thing in the demanding world of playing God for control freaks IS they are controlled by their need to control. No escape. No rest for the wicked. They simply cannot let people, places or things be as they are nor do they posses any tools in their toolbox to free themselves of the chains they are bound up with by being control by the need to control. Sad story, yet not uncommon in the insecure self centered universe.

    One would think that being the conscious of the Berkeley of the Foothills would be enough for Lardo’s ego, but noooooo. Now it has stuck its meat hooks beyond “in town” and has ventured all the way down to horse and sheep pastures and yonder old barn wood buildings of Penntucky (a friendly settlement 11 miles from Timbuctoo, California-knee-a). No rest for the wicked.
    All in all I am most pleased that it was let us know on every second sentence exactly what was consumed and where. Tea infused with peach between meals is well worth writing home about. 24 hours there and already covered a lot of menus. It should be a restaurant critic, but to our dismay it has never found a dish it didn’t like. What kind of critic is that? So many new menus, so little time.

    …..and now young Ben Emery makes his triumphant return!
    How can I make it any more clear? I don’t like the way I behave with you guys since it seems that I do not have the strength to stay on the high road in our conversations. So I decided to take personal responsibility for my behavior by removing myself from the atmosphere that causes me to behave in manner that I do not support. I am asking you to do the same.
    As far as rejoining the fray, I will never sit by and let people purposely try and hurt the feelings of others. Disagree with a person’s opinions, no problem. Constantly hammering away at somebodies physical appearance is straight up childish and mean. Would you have made fun of Helen Keller being blind and deaf? I guarantee you would have disagreed with her political views.
    How you behave or don’t behave on blogs is neither my concern nor my responsibility…and yes…you can make it a lot clearer by either hewing to last weeks arrangement or not. If you call me out by “name” please expect a response.
    Regarding your claim that you strive take the “high road” regarding peoples deficiencies I seem to recall a certain progressive stalwart who pulls no punches when discussing Todd’s intellect (I know that he returns that in kind) and exercise of his faith. Those that you consider like-minded have accused a regular poster at Rebanes as being in need of psychotropic drugs, again without proof. Fellow proglodyte luminary Michael Anderson felt compelled to inform me that he thought I was insufficiently patriotic and that perhaps a visit from Homeland Security was in order. He made sure to note that he could “arrange for that to happen”.
    I’ve enjoyed recently being accused by you of suffering from a “lack of self worth”,
    These guys, mostly white aging men, didn’t have a WWII to hang their self worth on so they are creating this idea that they are the next minutemen/ revolutionaries that are going to save their revisionary version of the founding fathers. Trying make their lives mean something while putting the rest of us in danger. It is actually very sad to witness and even more sad to try and converse with these adolescents on their home turf (blogs).
    So Ben either participate or don’t but please don’t whine about not being able to control yourself or about “being bullied”.
    As to your Helen Keller hypothetical, If Ms. Keller was as insufferable an ass as jeffy is I would have little hesitation to offer her the same kind and therapeutic comments that I’m forced to provide him on nearly a daily basis.
    I’d like to think that this would not be necessary with Ms. Keller but I guess we’ll never know.

    I guess Ben Emery and the others loony tune lefties just don’t understand what they do. What is the difference in them calling us/me, names regarding my “sanity” or intelligence and me/us calling them fat asses? Both sides use personal traits for making a point. We just don’t whine. I give them back in spades their crap though. I had to listen to them call me names for many years and I stayed above that when I was an elected official and candidate. Now that I am a private citizen I don’t give a rat’s ass. LOL! As always.

    I would never call Helen Keller names. If she was a pompous ass, I would simply replace her Braille keyboard with a nice hot waffle iron or rearrange the furniture in her living room. Never would I can her names because she was a woman who could win every time playing Marco Polo. Respect is earned. However if she was a pompous ass, I would cop a feel just to see the look on her face. It’s the women folk who have reserved the sole right to call other women disgusting names and they do it better than this lowly blood vessel could ever dream of.

    You guys really don’t get it do you? My challenging your intelligence/ sanity had to do with your political ideology but it wasn’t justified and isn’t acceptable behavior on how I want to conduct myself. I can remember mentioning many times over the years guessing your are good people towards your loved ones but have some real issues with your politics. You CONTINUOUSLY going after someones weight and professionalism without any second thought or remorse is a telling measurement of your character.
    Actually going after our political ideology was completely justified. I think your opinion is in wrong but you’re well within your rights to call us on anything you feel is in error. And Ben there have been times where jeffys girth hasn’t been central to the discussion….the Western Gateway Park thread last week was one of those times….

    Well jeffy is evading the question as should be expected and he’s exhibiting the time tested method of not responding to my half of the exchange with Barry by metaphorically sticking his fingers in his ears and going….. lalalalala…I can’t hear you.
    This is doubly interesting because just this morning at 9:27 he was incensed that we couldn’t, … debate an issue on its merits. Precious little mockery on this thread and we still have a “no show” from the perpetually aggrieved FUE.

    Steve,
    We’re in agreement that the goal isn’t to “trump free speech.” The goal is to manage it: just like all parks do. No other park in our county that I know of has become such a venue for political activism, so the Western Gateway Park board has a duty to address it — not blame the messenger.
    I’m quite sure your goal is to “manage” free speech…..just like you do on your blog. Suppress anything that makes jeffy uncomfortable.
    You should read the whole thread if only to educate you as to what a disingenuous hack jeffy really is. Do I need to mock jeffys girth? Probably not. But he’s such a loathsome putz that it’s difficult to restrain my baser instincts sometimes.
    The park thread was also enlightening with regard to jeffys professionalism. One would think that the free exchange of ideas would be of supreme import to someone who considers himself a member of the 5th estate. It’s one thing to censor a blog that you host…it’s entirely another to whine about feeling vaguely oppressed because someone who holds political views antithetical to yours is voicing them publicly.
    Remember Ben…..in jeffys world it’s all about “managing” free speech.

    Dear sweet lit-o Brother Ben. I feel for ya. Trying to soar with eagles when you fly with turkeys is an exasperating reality check. The fact that you lower yourself down to our (my) level is a reflection of your character not mine. Darn, if only the self appointed defenders of the downtrodden could live up to their high philosophical and superior moral convictions, all would be swell. The people business is a messy business.
    My sweet lit-o bro and buddy o buddy: It is nice to aspire to lofty places and I hope you continue to work on yourself and find that perfect place to go to get in touch with your inner child and be flooded with waves of serenity, tranquility, and peace on Earth good will towards man/woman and all the little precious babies of the world. Love rules!!, until you break a shoelace or blow a front tire.
    But, my dear young friend and messenger from the Light, here is the unequivocal truth. You live on Earth. That is where the lost souls are. It’s ok to have your head in the clouds if you keep both feet planted on the ground. That is where your fellow lower companions live and move and exist. Your calling is to get closer to the stink. May the force be with you and the bluebird of happiness nest on your shoulder. You have many miles to travel before you sleep, many miles to go.

    The instigator in this scenario is the outright disrespectful way George and Todd run their blogs, period. You can claim it is free speech but free speech doesn’t have to be childish, rude, and mean. You guys just choose to exercise it that way.
    How does George run a “disrespectful” blog? By letting people spout rudely…..leading to interesting discussions. Yes….tragic I realize.

    If Jeffie can make up ugly lies about me (I’m thinking about the claimed temper tantrum at a Constitution Day celebration that had absolutely NO basis in fact, but that isn’t the only instance), I can point out he’s perhaps the fattest man living in Nevada City.
    I recall, in one of his attempts at cutting me down, he waxed eloquently about how his dad used to help him with his Algebra homework, and opined that my attempts at fatherhood paled in comparison.
    He had no comeback for my response, that I chucked my career at Cisco in order to be the one to TEACH my own son Algebra after his mom (an adjunct math professor at Sierra) died the year before, leaving me a widowed parent.
    Jeff, from multiple accounts, was universally despised at The Union, and as far as I an concerned deserves all the crap he gets tossed back his way.

    Here is a link many will find inflamorty, thus buried in the sandbox. I have been puzzled about Obama for awhile. Why did he treat the Ambassador from Great Britian so embarrassinglty/rudely on his visit here in early 2009? Why did he immediately run off to Cairo right after he first won the election. Why did he go upstairs and dine when the Israeli PM came to visit, leaving him to wait around and twiddle his thumbs? Why did he always side with the Muslim Brotherhood from the Cairo speech to present?
    I ain’t no shrink and have no background in that realm. Yes, it is plain as the nose on your face that Obama and First Lady really love the perks of the office as evidenced by her vacation spots and frequency of travel around the world. It’s not the jet setting that raises a red flag. It is Obama’s disconnect from Black America and constantly cowtowing to those who believe in Sharia law.
    Who exactly are his people? This link, albeit just one man’s viewpoint, answered some of my questions, if ineed it is true.

    It also doesn’t help that your campaign claim to be a nursing student was (and apparently remains) false.
