someone earlier mentioned the lack of posters on Jeff Pelline’s blog, so out of curiosity I scored the sandbox:
Out of 222 total posts the big winner was Walt at 69 posts or 31% of the total
2nd place goes to Bill Tozer at 35 posts for 16%
3rd goes to Jon at 28 or 13%
4th Todd at 25 or 11%: Bessee at 17 or 7.6%: Gregory at 16 -7% : fish 10 – 4.5%
Our host George came in at 8 posts along with 7 other people with 3 posts or less for a total of 14.
In summary it appears that almost 71% of the total came from 4 people.LikeLike

That is right Joe Klingon from Uranis. This is the sandbox where cat turds like you can babble on. Open season in the sandbox, Einstein
You know why Trump has an appeal. Because people are sick and tired of Blame America First. Sick and tired of America is Bad. Sick and tired of putting other countries’ feelings first. The perception of Trump is finally someone will put America First. At last. Oh, if France (our closest ally per Sec of State Hillary Supertwat Clinton) does not like us or respect us, big friggin deal. America first. And if Trump thumps on Jorge Ramos’s noggin, next time do it harder. Meanwhile, Bernie is on the stump feeling all sorrowful for a slacker name Greece.
I want our tax dollars going to things that make America strong, not what Central America wants, what China wants, or what you think will make other countries like us. Tax dollars for America and Americans. The world can eat the crumbs that fall to the floor if they get really really lucky. Feed our kids first then toss the scrapes to the dogs. Build the wall, not a whimpy fence. In the meantime, toss a few tons of piranhas in the Rio Grande. Screw trespassers. You might like Canada Joe, but I doubt they would let you in for an visit. One DUI ten years ago and you will not be allowed to enter that fine country. Let’s put America first, just like our neighbors to the north and south put their countries first.LikeLike

The point was something as innocuous as numbers, no politics, no name calling, no finger pointing or innuendo, just who posted how many times, caused some of you to exude bile which only served to point out how politicized you are and eager to denounce people who disagree even when they post something about which there is no disagreement. It seems to be about hating the messenger regardless of the message like puppets on a string conditioned by the right wing noise machine to knee jerk react even when there is nothing to react to.

Back to an old topic. This is for our EPA loving ECO lemmings.
” EPA dumps toxins into mine”
http://watchdog.org/234100/epa-disasters/
“In late 2005, the EPA collected tons of sludge from two Leadville mines and secretly dumped it down the shaft of the New Mikado mine without notifying Hennis, its owner, according to documents.”
The EPA is on another power grab, and it takes effect right here,, REAL soon. Anywhere water is. ( yes, your own backyard) And just because your a card carrying LIB,, your not immune.

Jon said “Todd, the forefathers never imagined people like you in elected office either.
The forefathers are a non-issue in modern America because they couldn’t envision a nation run by big money oligarchies and billionaire ego maniacs.” Wrong Jon. The Founders knew their history and human nature. They hoped we would be morally able to keep our constitutional freedoms. What amazes me is the pschycological change perpetrated on America since last century. The Russian revolution accomplished by indoctrinating a mentality of class and race warfare would also become America through corporate-state controlled mass media and public education. I guess it’s a simple practice. Although we’ve been watching it happening…it’s still shocking. I hope there will be an uplifting change for the better.LikeLike

Great Bonnie, but no comment on modern America where we see the overwhelming influence of the corrupting gazillions of money in public policy and the political election process, as well as access to power.

Jon fails to comprehend it’s the government that is adding a link of chain day by day to the citizens, all with the help of special interest money. The EPA is a prime example.
The IRS is next in line. Every law that’s written and passed is another “liberty” gone.
Ya.. Blame it on “people with money”.
Hell. A kid can’t even open a weekend lemonade stand without “the man” shutting it down.
When government oppresses the people to a point they just won’t take it any more, the people revolt. History books are full of examples. Read one some day.LikeLike

Jon is one of those people I have met many of in my travels. They are all about yapping but never about doing. The “forefathers” actually had people like me in mind when they formed those documents. Citizen-politician then back to the private sector. They also had the “jons” in mind when they placed all those protections from government in them as well. So, the yappers like “jon” who have never run for anything, have never even testified at a school board meeting or ever done anything for their fellow citizens sit in their LazyBoy and yap to themselves. Now with blogs they yap here but still accomplish nothing for the country.LikeLike

Imagine Pelline allowing his #3 poster to be someone who is always against him. Not in this lifetime.
At the time I made that comment about the FUE’s blog comments, the FUE himself had made 80% of the comments over the prior 24 hours, perhaps 90% depending on the sock puppet status of one of the other 2. It’s the Jeff Pelline Adoration Blog.

Honestly “jon’s” cognitive skills are non existent. Gerge’s phone number is in the phone book as I mentioned. Kinda public “jon”?
Fish is correct that the forefathers wanted people like me, a person out of the body public, to get elected then go beck after the term s up. Not as fish says, those forever politicians. So “jon” you don’t even know much. Also, I asked you what you have done for the community and as usual “crickets”. I still believe you are a paid leftwing activist probably paid by the DNC or unions.
