I feel safe in my house, unless relatives visit from FL. In town is also safe. They are easy to spot up here in the mountains.

My point is that liberals, such as you and billvon, et.al., will attack regardless of my statements because of what I stand for. I cannot make a neutral statement.

Six years ago I came here with an intention of being positive. That did not last long. I have since enjoyed the role of flame magnet. It is great therapy for me and for all the liberals dealing with their pent up anger. Right wing conservative Christians just live with more joy.

It's all good.

I think you have a perception problem Ron...... Your use of the liberal label from the standpoint of anyone not in goose step with those of you on the far right is disingenuous.
If you had a chance to meet our Lord in person.... I am pretty sure you and most of the "compassionate" conservatives I have run into would label him a liberal.

I think yall might just have missed the boat on what he really taught.... not what the shill's in King James committee think he taught based on what their king wanted in his bible.

At least the Brits kept all those on the dole in Scotland happy enough by making promises of more dole.... to vote against FREEDOM for Scotland.... so the Brits could continue to extract the life blood and resources of Scotland as hey have done for hundreds of years.... I am betting the referendrum will not pass again there.

In short, it's all the content free cartoon politics of the USA without any of the bombast and over-hyped grandeur that makes it at all interesting.



over hyping is our job - heck, I'll start


you note

Then the media has become so obsessed with 'balance' that they're filling half the airwaves with minority parties that, with the best will in the world, are irrelevant sideshows



So my response is immediate and certain -

"So, you think balance with minorities and equity for brown people is just an irrelevant sideshow? That's revealing....
Typical of the Brits to be so incredibly racistss. The sun certainly never sets on the atrocities theyv comited through history and today."

Note the obligatory misspellings and the blatant refusal to see the word 'parties' in 'minority parties'. Next I would refuse to listen to why you think it's a sideshow and continue to strawman and insult in a PC fun way.

But see how fun it can be?

ok, that's a tough one to work with

Don't worry - it's all the EU now. So no matter how bad it gets, the Germans can bail them out......just like the Italians and the Spaniards, and any other country where the people want to live easy and not work too much.

Well, the Scots actually came begging for the union with England so that England would bail them out of bankruptcy caused by the "Darien scheme" of the 1690s. The Act of Union (1707) was sought by the Scottish parliament. Over the intervening centuries the net flow of resources has been FROM England TO Scotland.

I would say all that North Sea Oil as well as other mineral wealth... might have earned them a little socialism in a country where there are few jobs.... other than serving in the BRITISH military in far greater percentages than other parts of the Union. oh and which part of Scotland was it again who sought the Union in the first place???

40 years of oil hardly compensates for 280 years of resources going in the other direction.

That's just.so.funny. You're usually way more thoughtful than that.

At least as funny and witty as "conservatards," "demokkkrats," and all the other words that people use.

They're all ways to point out the differences between us, so that we're less likely to work together on issues that we all face together.

Remember that "united we stand, divided we fall" thing?

I would have thought that history as taught at your prestigious English university might have been a bit more realistic in its treatment of reality... instead of the highly biased winner takes all version as written by the victors that exploited the people and resources of the conquered lands .

Meh. The Scottish parliament came cap-in-hand to be bailed out by the English. There was no war for there to be any "victors".
Even the development of Scottish oil was underwritten by the English.

I strongly suspect that the voters in the referendum know better than you which side their bread is buttered.

The really big difference between Jesus Christ of Nazareth and the left wing liberals in the Democratic party is that Jesus provides the path for salvation. The latter does not. They only bitch about those who will not accept their intellectually elite pseudo-solutions.

"All we really need is love..." and some good bar-b-que.

Jesus was the first true socialist.

Also, loaves and fishes, feeding the poor, healing the sick . . .

But, He only provided healing to certain individuals. That is, you had to have faith to qualify. Now how does that compare to socialized medicine?

He also said to judge not, let he be judged. He was qualified to judge the contents of a man's soul, we are not. Or do you think that because the cases in the Bible showed that the patients (well, except for Lazaeus, he was dead) had faith (albeit strengthened by the miracle), they all did? I'm not sure that everything that happened is in the Bible.

The Bible clearly states that more works were done by Christ than are recorded.

I can't find any reference to anyone getting a free ride.
