They see the house of cards starting to tumble down, and are a bit paniced at the prospect that they will be the laughing stock for decades (if not amongst those that are imprisoned). And you'll have to excuse Martin's lack of scholarship; he's been told for quite a while that the only "truth" he needs to pay attention to comes from the likes of Limbaugh, Hannity ... and Scottie McClellan.

The quote is not credible and just comes across as your far left liberal agenda. It serves no purpose except to be a subject of a rant of yours. bitching everyday like the likes of you, bobert, Arne/Acne, and a few others do has not solved any problems, just shows how much you hate one man.

Acne, I mean Arne, I do not listen to Limbaugh or Hannity. I do not need to for good info on who the old doper hippie misfits are. You come through as one loud and clear.

Quite the reversal. Take a look at the dehumanizing, gas chamber tactics that you and Amos, and Foolestroupe and others use here to anyone who truly does not agree with you. Your self-described master-race of Mudcat is the example of the backlash of that mindset that your liberal community faces in America now and in recent years. It is why you and your self-serving agendas aren't and cannot be taken seriously.

So, while I am not up to criticizing our leaders and government on a daily basis just to come across as a socialist activist, I do find it amusing and quite entertaining to point the finger at the ungreatful and shallow ones who do who pose as intellectuals in their own mind only, like yourself, Ron.

Strangely enough, though, not by will of the people. As for his ascennsion, that had more to do with the power plays (and nasty tricks) of the Republicans than it did with his own capabilties.

His life seems hardly miserable.

You'd have to ask him about that (although he seems rather churlish and hagggard nowadays ... when he's not sporting new bruises, scrapes, and other marks of having fallen down). But his record is certainly miserable. While not the greatest failure, I'd note that it was he that was at the helm (and doe-struck and clueless for seven minutes) while the single greatest terrorist attack on the United States was accomplished.

At least you have the balls to admit your obsessive fixations and hate.

You misspelled "disdain and utter lack of respect".

Hate for a leader and more than half of the country who elected him?

Ummm, "more than half of the country" didn't elect him. As for the second election, I'd point out that in the wake of the 9/11 bombings (for reasons that I understand but find irrational), Dubya was a "favourite" and considered a shoo-in for the next election. People tend to rally around the "leaders" in times of trouble and uncertainty, and Dubya's ratings were stratospheric. Of course, when it came down to actually doing something in response to 9/11, Dubya found way after way to bollix things up royally, to the point that he was reduced to proxy sliming of his opponent in 2004 just to barely squeak through. Since then, of course, as more and more comes out about how bad his maladministration is, his ratings have plummeted even more, and now over half the country thinks he shold be impeached if he broke the law (which he quite certainly did in many things not the least of which is illegal wiretapping).

"Brownie, you're doing a hck of a job." -- words that should be engraved on Dubya's tomb ... after he's passed on to whatever circle of Hell is reserved for those that throw the lives of thousands of youngsters away for their own private glorification and ends.

"I get dehumanized everyday here by your type"

There is a psychological term for people who enjoy being hurt and will not walk away from the source, mate. It describes a sickness that needs treatment, the first step of which is to walk away from the alleged sources of your problem.

The more loquacious language Marty is now using, as in the rest of that post suggests that he is now sitting at the desk previously occupied by Terribus, having been engaged by the Bush Regime to be the replacement 'Proxy Slimer'.

So I guess you have just under three years more to live in the misery you are in. So keep whining. I'll keep working hard and living.

Sad for you that I feel this way, but I really could give a flying fuck what a doper like you thinks anyway. Bush's term will end and then you and your whiners will complain about whoever is next elected anyway. Must be a miserable exiswtence you have. Making little if any money, taking out your frustration with your laziness on an Internet forum, and blaming just about everyone else except yourself.

Martin--

So sorry to hear that you get dehumanized "every day". Tends to belie your assertions about how happy and successful you are. But that's no great revelation.


But the result is obvious.

It's also, as I said, obvious that if you get dehumanized, it's your own doing-----you, who, I suspect, even in your relentlessly middle-class existence, do not suffer overly much (except in your twisted mind)----are only dehumanized if you allow it to happen to yourself.

For somebody who complains constantly about others' criticism of various aspects of life, you certainly have mastered the art of being victimized.

It also looks like you'll never learn the difference between richly deserved criticism of your good self and anti-Semitism. However, just for starters, consider the many Jewish posters on this forum--who, for some inexplicable reason, don't always agree with you. Can't imagine why that could be. Sure is a mystery. Why don't they realize that whatever you say is automatically right, and they should stand up and salute?

You'll have to give them another copy of the script--they must have lost the first one.

But, judging by how often you play the victim, it must make you happy. And you know our only reason for existence is to make you happy.

So I wish you continued happiness.

And, as I've said before, please continue to be Mr. Bush's apologist. It's important for everybody to see how a typical Bush voter thinks.

Now here is some serious shit:

Scales of identity, like Japanese nesting dolls, are the key to adhesion of Consciousness to an "I:" structure.
All anti-social acts are rooted in a desire to free the victim from an identity he is perceived as "capable of being more than". It is like the desperate effort to shake some sense into a child, insane though it seems.
This explains the miracle of personal growth, which is, at one level, a contradiction. It is personal cleansing or releasing from identity that frees one to become, newly, the next identity outward. And
then begin again the relearning of the lessons that identity may have had to learn, which it did not, which resulted in its abandonment behind a screen of unknowing.
There are lessons only in the presence of identities.

I am far from angry. I am disgusted. disgusted with what passes for liberal thought process like yours.

I am disgusted that some people in the folk music world are some of the biggest losers in society, like yourself and your silly little band of ranting, lunitic hand wringers, who like I say, have accomplished very little, and will continue to accomplish very little.

It's not at all boring to call you schmucks out. I've told you before, it's somewhat entertaining.

i never claimed it was my profession, but I do make some money at it. but it is not full-time for me, but it is more than a hobby.

But that's OK. Aamos and foolestroupe's hobby is just talking about me
There obsession with me is second only to Bush.

What a fucking joke!

As far as calling someone out, i'm calling you out, guest with no name. Put your big fat stinking ass up against your computer screen and I will put a foot in it for you.

What a stupid moron you are, dildobreath.

Looks like I rattled his cage a bit. But that's pretty easy to do. And it's easy to tell when you've gotten to him. He develops a toilet mouth and threatens violence that he knows he'll never be able to carry out--or get punched out for. While he's sitting there waiting for someone to talk into the clown's mouth, he fantasizes a lot. All of his performances are in the Carnegie Hall of his imagination.

"
"Martin"--not your real name, of course--a handy index on your courage----

You were "physically threatened with harm"?--wonderfully classic writing style--ever hear of anybody physically threatened, but not "with harm"? A bit redundant--which certainly is something you would identify with. I suspect you've experienced it more than once. Aside from that, your credibility--on anything--is, as I mentioned earlier, not the best. Sorry Martin (oops, there's that unwanted pun creeping in)--you have a problem there.

Why don't you lie down until your persecution delusions go away? Perhaps flashbacks from your 60's experiences? Your obsessions are particularly revealing--bathrooms, underwear, cross-dressing, drugs. A bit of projection, I'll warrant, and definitely arrested development--about age 4--possibly caused by the drugs. You are indeed a fascinating case.

But I assure you, as I've said before, that we're not in every shadow, planning to make you "physically threatened with harm". We're actually here to help you-since you obviously need a lot of help.

Dehumanized "every day"? Poor boy. Sounds like a serious problem. I'm afraid you'll need more help than we can give--better see a professional-----soon.

But the real problem is all your complaints sound suspiciously like whining. So---the person who most complains about others whining is himself the #1 whiner.

That's quite interesting, to say the least.

But, congratulations, "Martin", you're #1 in something-----finally.

And, as I've said before, please continue your defense of Mr. Bush. You wouldn't believe how helpful your contributions are. I'm sure he agrees fully with your brilliant observation that anybody who disagrees with him is a traitor.

But next time you may possibly want to actually read a reputable newspaper before putting your mouth in gear. Based on your command of English, I'm sure you can slog through one in 3 or 4 hours.

However long it took, it would be a refreshing change if you would do so.

At any rate, keep up the good work.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Not rattled at all, Guest. Just calling you out as you suggested.

I tell you fuck off with the biggest smile on my face.

And yes, I know you just want to punch me out. Awwww, too bad. You can't. so sit there and analyze it and justify to yourself why I think you are an idiot.

amos, Guests can get it both barrels as far as I am concerned. Especially the ones who are obviously your pals.
