Please Welcome New Moderator Observer

[Becca]

It's nice to walk back into a place and see it's business as usual.   

 Congrats, Observer!

[lucy]

and so good to see you....

[Becca]

Thank you, Lucy.  I spent the weekend with my grandchildren and I'm all tuckered out.  Thought I'd do some catch up reading since I have no energy to do much else. Gotta love the little darlings!

[Observer]

Thanks, Rebecca.

You gonna be in town for a while?

[Becca]

Thanks, Rebecca.

You gonna be in town for a while?

I'll be here when I can. I'm working a full time job plus two part time jobs so my free time is limited. Sometimes all I have time for is a quick read -- thanks for asking.

Salary requirements?

OK...I am just your average everyday working stiff = loser. 

I just want to say that I may just move on. 

Not because a neo-con has been given top billing here.  It is because Observer has called me a liar. 

I have been with this forum since the beginning as well.  One of the most important reasons for even starting with forums was to convey some important truths about the REAL history of this continent and I am NOT a liar.

I don't have to make a certain amount of money to be an honest man and I don't have to contend with being regarded as a liar.

Fair and balanced?  For someone else...but hardly for me.  I can contend with all the blah, blah, blah and passing insults back and forth, I don't need to be a moderator, or even spend a lot of time here...but I don't think I can contend with having a dishonest label on me that I far from deserve.

I am one of the most honest people any of you have ever met.

I don't have to contend with your insults every time you post so don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Congrats Pepsi- you just condemned your forum to oblivion

called that one right at the gate, eh

called that one right at the gate, eh

Not exactly. Forums ebb and flow. You should know that.

Losing Observer isn't exactly what I would consider a catastrophe. What did he add, exactly? He never backs up his bluster and bravado. His posts could easily be boiled down to a half dozen or so bumper sticker slogans and a few random "conservative" talking points like the one he tried to pull off at Headbutters the other day.

It would be good to find a real conservative poster who could back up their perspective with reasonably objective arguments, but I have not seen one of those in years.

Not exactly. .................

well ya quite exactly. I called the coming train wreck of giving obie any kind of authority in very short order.

strike out "conservative" insert "progressive" and the above pretty well describes you, IM2, johnhp, pepsi...........The funniest thing is that there is really little practical difference between your faction and his. Hell if the repugs manage to retake Congress this fall they will pass 'obamacare' in all but name before November 2012 while proclaiming Morning in America from every rooftop.

that is because you are utterly obscurant in that regard. Lucy certainly qualifies.

I don't think so.

There is a huge difference. I don't know what Republicans would do. So far the only thing that comes to mind is that they would try to do the old Bush crap again, which would mean disaster.

No, I don't think Lucy does qualify. Neither does Ron Paul.

[nraforlife]

I don't think so.

People when Obie starts purging people here who won't step & fetch to his little tune just as he has been at NOPC, here is refuge-

He ain't never gonna get a modhat there . Praise Jebus.

NRA  you could be a fun person to converse with if you weren't so combative.  Obie won't take any bullshit off of you or anyone for that matter, so you had met your match and then some.  He is an ok guy but you cannot work with him if you have a short fuse as his way of expressing things is not the smoothest around.

I learned to give him some slack and he in turn gave me some slack.  And we don't agree on a number of issues.  At least he is honest and above board with his motives, which is not the case with the resident socialist and the forum idiot.  Maybe someday you will learn to appreciate the virtues of being candid and to the point on a forum.

.............. Obie won't take any bullshit off.....................

Obie is a fucking idiot who cannot reason his way out of a wet paper bag.
