Mr. Smith, “disrupt others logical conversations???” Now that I’ve commented on that, Richard cannot be on this thread unless he is a subscriber or pays the required fee. It was possible in the past, but no longer as the MtDemocrat went to their pay to play policy. And, I hope you had a good Thanksgiving and I appreciated your offer you made to buy a turkey for the lady allegedly on food stamps. Did she collect a turkey from you?

Editor: There is a a guy by the name of “Richard” that is utilizing this site and not providing anything of importance to the readers. I also suspect that he is not contributing monetarily for the use of the online MD. On this thread, he admits that he will miss the online responses on the MD, thereby insinuating that he’s leaving, but he has stayed and continues to disrupt others logical conversations. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I had offered to throw him a going away party but he did not accept. I think in this regard he and his wife illustrate the true example of free loading obama liberals that always want something for nothing. In the interest of being fair and balanced, could you please review the situation and make sure that these moochers are paying their fair share. If they want to play then they should have to pay.

Richard and Anthony, I really get that it is somewhat of a rush to squabble with ignorance. I have enjoyed you both. I know you know how desperately angry these people are. When I hear some of the delusions, it is worth a head shake. No worries, the majority of this nation has decisively spoken. Let’s try to have some sympathy and understand these citizens. Their party has been given, and will continue to be given enough rope to hang themselves, don’t ya think?

Colonel, I got the story first hand from Pete M. and have a copy of his book, “The Taking of Hill-610.” Within its pages the Senator Robertson’s letters are reproduced after they where found in a small Midwest library where they had accidently gotten separated from the family estate after the Senators death and eventually found there way to Pete. Pat was indeed plucked off the boat at the senators request and put in charge of the O clubs in Japan why’ll his unit went on to fight in Korea. Later during his run for the Presidency Pat claimed to be a Combat Marine which infuriated the men in that unit including Pete, the insuring peeing match ended in a 30 mil law suit filed by Robertson which he lost and ultimately cost him the presidency. Robertson’s unit went on to fight and was involved in numerous historical actions, one of which Pete was awarded NC in addition to his SS, BSs. In the Marine Corps History Div. in Virginia Pete is listed as having led this unit in more bayonet changes in the Korean War than any other Marine unit. Got to go, 13 minutes a pound didn’t work for this free range turkey……Semper Fi

Pat Robertson was founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network, sponsored by Rev. Sun Myung Moon (The Moonies). In the early 80s Robertson was trading guns and ammo in Nicaragua, coordinating efforts to use “operating Blessing” to help supply goods to the Contras. Robertson, according to investigative reporter Sara Diamond, used his tax-exempt broadcast license to hold a fundraising telethon in the United States for the Guatemalan military and the Nicaraguan Contras. Robertson visited contra training camps in Honduras in June 1985, where he met with top leaders of the FDN and was saluted as a guest of honor. In April 1989 Pat Robertson visited Managua to open the Nicaraguan chapter of CBN’s 700 Club. Robertson’s first stop was the U.S. embassy. The Executive Board of the American Coalition for Traditional Values in the past included notables Jerry Falwell, Jimmy Swaggart and Pat Robertson.

Richard, were you aware that Pat Robertson was a Marine. Enroute to Korea to be a platoon leader in the meat grinder of combat in Korea, he was plucked off the ship (in port in Japan or Korea? — I don’t recall which, but was last chance before combat). He was pulled off the ship and assigned as a liaison officer in Japan. Think his father was a Senator. This may be when Lt. Robertson found God, as in “Thank God my father had enough pull to get me off that ship.” Must be a secure world where you can call on God to explain away every event (as he does).

It is too easy to say that the Republican House of Representatives blocked legislation on a certain subject. Of course, the Democrat Senate has done the same thing on by not even bring forward a budget among other things. The question is how many other inappropriate riders and tack-on pork were affiliated with any respective bill? It is the legislative rule set that needs an overhaul and should revert back to single vote, single subject. Only then will real accountability begin.

Pete McCloskey for lying when Robertson ran for President in the 60s had this to say about the recent election; Pat Robertson claims he,’ missed Gods message about the election.’ Another great example of Republican leadership……..

Eight co-sponsors of ‘audit the Fed’ bill vote against it without explanation. The bill would allow the Government Accountability Office to conduct a thorough audit of the Federal Reserve System, tremendously increasing transparency and accountability, in theory. All House Republicans voted in favor of the bill, except for New York Rep. Bob Turner. Ninety-seven Democrats — notably including the party’s House leadership — voted against the bill, and 89 Democrats voted in favor. The eight House Democrats who switched their stance on the issue without an explanation find themselves in good company, with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid also pulling off a mystifying pivot.

In 2010 and 1995, Reid boasted that he had tried in vain to pass legislation to audit the Fed. The Nevada senator, however, is now refusing to bring the bill, which would fulfill his self-professed yearning, to a Senate vote. ~ http://dailycaller.com/2012/07/26/eight-co-sponsors-of-audit-the-fed-bill-vote-against-it-without-explanation/

Anthony, I was refering to what the dem party leaders told the useful idiots at their convention held by the “democrat” national commitee. If you remember the vote required 2/3 and it got passed by less than half because the leaders are not interested in what the useful idiots think of have to say. Learn reading comprehension. It may expose you to things you never dreamed of.

Richard the independent turns out to be not so independent. Whodathunkit. What is it like feeling like you have to pretend to be something that you are not in order to attempt to sound thoughtful? People like me can see thru leftists like you in less than one sentence. And I will come right out and tell you proudly that I am an anti-leftist. I wouldn’t even call myself a republican. They are just as responsible for the disgrace this country is becoming as the commie leftists.

If I were in your shoes I would be giving some deep thought to the fact that maybe I hitched my pony to the wrong wagon. Keep fighting (girl) girls, its great entertainment.

Bill Clinton and Al Gore go into a local diner for lunch. As they read the menu the waitress comes over and asks Clinton, “Are you ready to order?” Clinton replies, “Yes, I’d like a quickie.” “A quickie?!?” the waitress replies. “Sir, given the current situation of your personal life I don’t think that is a good idea. I’ll come back when you are ready to order from the menu.” She walks away. Gore leans over to Clinton and says, “Bill, it’s pronounced ‘Quiche.’”

To the Editor- Just a note of thanks for the way you covered the election. It is nice to be able to find out election results without wading through all the results for national elections. As far as covering the Presidential results we turned on the T.V. at eight fifteen and saw the race had been called. We shut off the T.V. Please don’t change the your coverage of elections. It is the right way for a local paper.
