Sandbox - 22jul15

[We have been hearing a lot of chest beating about the demise of the Republican Party during the last year.  And to hear the same prognosticators, 2016 will pretty much bury the GOP.  Here's a little graphic to ponder.  gjr]

Honestly, Steve Frisch has lost his noggin. He is so pure and right that no one else can possibly be. We call that hubris, and a ego bloated as large as the body. What a hoot.

[Jon]

Steve, the lack of intellectual honesty here is mindboggling and absurd. I sit back in amazement and watch a feeding frenzy of angry emotion take over, fed by Cruz and Trump. Todd freezes an image of a clearly moderate Reagan- per today's criteria- in their minds, even when the record contradicts their professed philosophies of conservativism.

The world and our nation changes and these guys rage on and on and on.

As I have said several times, there are about 4-5 people here who I have never seen write the magic words, "Upon further evidence I respectfully admit you are correct and I was incorrect."

The same 4-5 people seem to have a problem with the adult words, "I am sorry. I apologize."

Todd the only reason I appear to be almost always correct is that I am almost always diametrically opposed to your positions.

Step away from the bottle. Place your hands at your sides, take a deep breath and repeat, I will stop drinking, I will stop drinking. Now back to our favorite program.

That is kind of like me asking, "are you still popping Oxycontin recreationally?"

[Walt]

On the subject of "being on drugs", The ECO AGW bastards will stoop to any level.
First it was drowned polar bears, ( faked) now dead scamitists. " The oil Co,'s had them offed!"

AGW A'? It's not even Aug. and Canadian geese are already headed South. ( Butt ass cold on the way?) Some trees are already looking like Fall. My Maple tree has the hints of red.
Global warming my ass. Get ready for another ice age.

Or the old phrase "are you still beating your wife?"

[Jon]

Todd,
Mr. Trump laid into the failures of your favorite son and favorite phony politician, Scott Walker today. But lets not talk about that too much..

Fascinating politics of a Party hell bent on destroying itself. Over and over again.

[Jon]

Hey Walt, can I offer some helpful information. That red on your maple ain't because of cold weather. Nice try however.

RE Frisch's 12:59 PM:

Actually, I was at Goldwater's acceptance speech at the Cow Palace in 1964, but the sisters weren't on my parents' front lawn in San Mateo.

[Walt]

It's not fire retardant,, and mine isn't the only one.
Funny. No excuse on the geese.

[Walt]

Fire has come to Nevada City's back yard.
Cascade shores is said to be in it's path.

[Todd Juvinall]

Walt the fire near Alta is 450 acres and growing. The planes are bombing.

Frisch 1:51 PM

I am so glad you pointed out that you are diametrically opposed to me as I am an honest man.

Citizens United is ther bane of the left. Here is a donation to a Super PAC from two brothers. Wanna guess who they are? On CNN Politics today.

"Farris and Dan Wilks, billionaires who made their fortunes in the West Texas fracking boom, have given $15 million of the $38 million that the pro-Cruz super PAC, "Keep the Promise"

"

Ha..nothing wrong with that George, I am actually kind of jealous.....did you run into Hillary?

You may have noticed I don't put you in the group here that went into a bunker in 1964 and emerged in 2015....:)

Administrivia - Hard to tell what issues you gentlemen are discussing.

[Todd Juvinall]

The veracity and believability of a liberal. Now he is taking credit for defeating Goldwater. Amazing. Oh and he was five!

[Jon]

Todd, what did you do during the Vietnam War?

[Jon]

Here's something funny. The definition of throwing money down the drain. Two bible thumping fracking kings throwing big bucks behind..Ted Cruz! Who may not even make the first debate Top 10! LOL. Bye Bye 15 MIL. I guess the fracking twins are banking on Cruz taking Trump's place when he implodes. Too good.

How what I wrote could be construed as 'taking credit for defeating Goldwater" is beyond even the wildest imagination of a child.

[Todd Juvinall]

Jon what was your name rank and serial number?

[Steven Frisch]

Posted by: Todd Juvinall | 25 July 2015 at 07:07 PM

He had a bone spur in his foot :(

[Jon]

Sorry Todd, they didn't have a draft for 10 year olds at the time. But I watched my sister lose her boyfriend. who came home in a bag.
What did you do during the war?

[Todd Juvinall]

Have you served in the military? What is you name, age and serial number?
