In case you didn't hear, an islamic Nigerian man tried to "blow up" a Detroit bound airliner on Christmas Day.  Fortunately, nobody but the terrorist was hurt and he is currently being held by American officials.

In my opinion, this was just a test-run by a moron follower just to test the system.  Something big is coming without a doubt.

Here are some interesting things about this story:

Yes, you read that correctly.  Two of the leaders were released from Gitmo, into a "art therapy rehabilitation program".  You can't make this stuff up.  Will people who want to close Gitmo realize that these people are dangerous, and they always will be?

Actually it is you that is the know it all.

Shazaam!  I should have known I was wrong since Mr. Know it all speaks!  Of course I must think I know what I mean and that means I know it all.  It could not possibly be that he claims to know what I think and cant be Mr, Know it all!

Yep, Pathetic.  If ego was money, Mr. Know it all would be the richest man in history.

Right - did I get it right Mr, Know it all?

You seem to know everything there is to know except that you’re an asshole, and I know that.

I have one - you know an asshole, and I guess you dont.  Is that what you mean mr, know it all?  That is ok.  I know you  would like to be thought of as an owl, right?  You know the bird that shits through its mouth.  I see the similarity too,.

As for Bush and information that he received what was he suppose to do? People knew that the attack was going to happen. The questions were when and how?

The irony is that the Bush Administration knew someting was afoot, they did not know what, nor had anything like this been attempted before,  The problem is that Obama has none of those excuses.  He knew it had been tried before, knew it was going to be tried again, and knew about this idiot.  IN other words, he had everything even beyond what Bush had, and he failed. 

But then at least it was not a terrorist attack - just a man-caused disaster attempt.

Now please return to your mutual, self righteous, self gratifying camaraderie and don't skimp, I find it amusingly entertaining.

Perhaps it is just the type - AJ and MF - self important know it alls.  But I find their juvenile arrogance to be funny and sad.  Reminescent of a mind is a terrible thing to waste - or 2 in this case.

AJ and MF seem to share an admiration that goes far beyond just towing a party line. Get a room fellas and stop nauseating the rest of us with it.

This so describes you JU'ers that it's not even funny.

I suppose it adds credence to the adage that you can't see the forest for the trees.

If you could only pull your heads out of each others assholes perhaps you could see better.

You mean like Bush had full knowledge of a CIA report along with other intelligence community reports warning of an imminent attack by Al Qaeda prior to 9/11 but did nothing?

A report describing a possible attack by unknown persons on an unknown date versus a direct report about a specific person (by his own father no less) who was allowed to board a plane. Geez, it's amazing how similar those two really are! 

 

What a moron!

It's easy for you to sit where you're at and presumptiously claim we're being arrogant and not look at your own faults. Why don't you either explain how I'm being arrogant (because I'm always open for self improvement - see: concession, open minded) - or get of your damn high horse.

You may claim you're an adult Doc, but your actions have shown immaturity and intolerance. I'm not saying I'm perfect, but perhaps you should stop and take a look at yourself - 'cause you're coming across as a hypocrit.

Yes, I respect the individual who can examine things from both sides. While he naturally has his bias, he's been able to be more unbiased than most here (save a few). then again, I guess that isn't hard.

 

People who think get stressed. Those who just recite talking points without critical reasoning dont get stressed - they just get frustrated when not all go along with their bleating.

 

Why thank you, despite your intention, your words imply that apparently you do believe that I think. Glad you caught on. Now, mind explaining why y'all are frustrated?

....

Whatever...

 

Go over to DU. You won't have to look far to find others with your worldview....since it distresses you so much. Now dry your eyes, put your big boy shoes on, and go out and play.

 

Nitro, quit it. You damn well know I meant the concept - which you have yet to grasp - of having the ability to concede points and think critically. Unfortunately, you've yet to show that you can think outside your narrow view of things, i.e. talking points.

If we're gonna get any shit done in this country, we need to start practicing that - NOT partisan bullshit. THAT is what got us here.

Ah, and theres the rub. Only persons in total agreement with your view are "open minded" enough for you. If we wanted your band of crazy we'd all be over at DU, now wouldn't we? Yet somehow you feel you need to be the self appointed missionaries, compelled to spread the "religion" to the natives. Gee thanks, but no thanks.

Glad you're again supporting the freedom of speach and belief. \s    (See, this...is why I am cynical...people. ) Nitro, it's a free net, and unless Brad kicks me off of here - I am free to express myself, just as you are allowed to express yourself. It's a free country, remember?

 

You have to learn that when you, Obama's witnesses, go door to door your message isn't as popular as it is with the rest of the true believers. Crying about no one willing to hear your sermon, just doesn't help your efforts much. I'm sure your messiah appreciates your martyrdom though. (you learn well from the institutions you vilify, I'll give you that). Just go say 5 "Our Congressional Majority's" and 6 "Hail Barry's", watch "An Inconvenient Truth" and all will be right in your world. LIL

 

As usual, you don't listen...why am I not surprised? Nitro, just don't bother talking to me if you're going to be willfully close midned, and childishly point out and twist my comments. (Ex: Oh, you said XYZ...must mean you hate...ABC. When clearly it isn't true)

There's a difference in having educated and critical thought based opinions - I would rather debate/discuss with someone who is going to look past the label/partisanship, and to the issue. Can you do that?

 

Now please return to your mutual, self righteous, self gratifying camaraderie and don't skimp, I find it amusingly entertaining.

 

*bows mockingly* Oh yes s'ah massah, yes s'ah. Praise the lord, the high and mighty masa' be giving me the freedom to be myself.  

Boy...do I feel priviliged. Thank you, really. \s

When you say partisan, do you mean like this example: "I'm a red assed baboon democrat because I'd vote for a baboon in estrus before I'd ever vote for anyone with an R after their name." -MF

Perhaps he just didn't get your Cum by ya lyrics sheet and you should re-send it. But you respect is duly noted:

Yes, I respect the individual who can examine things from both sides. While he naturally has his bias, he's been able to be more unbiased than most here (save a few). then again,

I guess "both" must be the new "my" side. Read on for another "unbiased" example, worthy of your respect.

BTW I would challenge you to find any similar statement from anyone, myself included, that has posted to this article whom you claim to be partisan.

Nitro, it's a free net, and unless Brad kicks me off of here - I am free to express myself, just as you are allowed to express yourself. It's a free country, remember?

...and who is telling you not to? Express away. Just don't don't expect that just because you say it makes it so for anyone but you. Need a tissue?

There's a difference in having educated and critical thought based opinions - I would rather debate/discuss with someone who is going to look past the label/partisanship, and to the issue. Can you do that?

You mean like the enlightened fellow that might say something like this: "You could also reasonably argue that I have seen enough of how republicans act over the course of my lifetime to have made the decision that no republican will ever represent my viewpoint." -MF

There's your open mind. I suppose the 80% GOP (vs  60% Democrat) vote in favor of the 1964 civil rights bill didn't conform to his viewpoint.

To be partisan, as you believe, I suppose I would have to support all republican initiatives, which is hardly the case. Of course minor stupidity in government will always take a backseat when major stupidity is in action. If they Democrats can come up with an idea that doesn't socialize something, nationalize industries, or waste taxpayer money I'd be happy to listen. Would I vote for a Democrat? If his/her actions were consistently conservative enough, sure just as quick as I wouldn't support a tax and spend Republican.

*bows mockingly* Oh yes s'ah massah, yes s'ah. Praise the lord, the high and mighty masa' be giving me the freedom to be myself.

Don't worry Barry knows you love him.

Nitro.....See, you failed to agree with the child, so of course you are trying to stiffle his speech!  If you agree with  him, then you promoting free speech!  Any child can see that!

BUt most people do grow up and put away their childish things.  AJ and MF (Ommm!  There goes that curse word again) have yet to mature past the tit suckling stage.  Fortunately for them, there is no maturity test for voting so they will continue to vote as children.  Spoiled self important all knowing children.

Amazing that learning stops in the second grade for some people.

Now, we can wait for the obligatory "and so are you" childish retorts that waste space and add nothing.

LOL!  I would never have guessed MF is a racists, but as you point out by quoting him, he must be!

Yep I said this and stand behind both of these statements 100%.

However *everyone* has their own biases and you're never going to change anyone's worldview. The only difference between them and us is that we will at least admit our biases, whereas they prefer to delude themselves into believing that they have no biases and that they are right in all things.
I also stand behind this statement as well.

BTW I would challenge you to find any similar statement from anyone, myself included, that has posted to this article whom you claim to be partisan.
Of course you won't because as I said you prefer to lie to yourself that you will listen to all sides of an argument, yet always without fail agree with the same side time after time after time. But I suppose that's just a coincidence.

I can't find the exact quote but perhaps Nitro can since he's clearly up to date on quotes from threads that he's even unable to respond to, I know that must really annoy him but we all have our crosses to bear.

JU is a self selected set of rabid right wing nut jobs to whom anyone to the left of Ann Coulter is a socialist.

As I said I admit my biases and in fact revel in them. I have come to them over a lifetime of experience and I do in fact believe that I have earned them in each and every case.

There's nothing wrong with being a rabid right wing nut job, there's no real shortage of people fitting the stereotype. I'm sure you can phrase it in a far less derogatory way, that's fine, but you are lying to yourself if you think that your biases are any less fixed than mine.

on Jan 02, 2010

wow!  As long as you guys are all having fun! 

I wonder if this is what the guys at the corner store talk about each morning warming their hands around  their cups of coffee?

I slum for entertainment from time to time. Closed (to some) blogs are a great place to pick up some laughs so I'm hardly annoyed, quite the opposite in fact. Liberal elitism is all about exclusion after all.  Of course some might believe me a hypocrite, close minded or partisan if I only read conservative ramblings

Ah, appreciate the offer, but you'll have to do your own research.

More pscho-babble... I stated I'm a pompous, close minded liberal, you haven't written such, therefore you hide your rabid partisan beliefs!!! LOL You can't buy this kind of humorous material. A right-wing (nut) demon behind every corner! Confess to cleanse your soul, right? I'd call that paranoia.

BTW your quotes were for AJ's open mindedness lesson, since he respects yours so much. But thanks for bloviating.

I personally don't consider this original topic as slumming, , but you go ahead and slum your heart out since that's what you are here for.

just as quick as I wouldn't support a tax and spend Republican.

Yet I believe you HAVE in the past, or at least have made mention of supporting one.
