Morning Ali!

Last weekend I missed both day but this morning I was first whats going on LOL

Good Morning Me,
I guess it’s a little early.

Well for one thing, this time is wrong.
It seems we lost an hour somewhere.

Good morning Alisyn,
I am up and waiting for you. All is quiet at this moment, cupa is in hand, and the weekend begins! I bet he watches your show, however, regardless of his complaints, hum??? ha! Betcha….

Alisyn,
Eileen beat me!!! But, I was up first!!!!! Ha… Good morning Mac.

I’m surprised that the people in Iran have been able to express themselves for so long as it is, I worry what the outcome is to be.

Troll2fans??? good thing I missed out on that LOL

Show me the funny LOL

Mac…the time stamp may be wrong for you, but not for everyone!!!! WordPress doesn’t seem to want to fiddle with that part, so one adds or subtracts, accordingly, like the clock in the car, which is right, half the time, hum?

Morning Mac & Gini I got in here this morning before I even poured cupa LOL got to be fast around the greenroom to get a word in first LOL

Good morning Alisyn and all Very stormy night in Ohio. I think Obummer is trying to distract from his agenda. His agenda seems to be losing steam. However it only brings more viewers to fox. A double edged sword for him.

Good morning Ali, Me & Mac

I believe Oidolizeme stays away from Fox because they are the only station that is not putting Oglisteningpecs on a pedestal, as Bernie Goldberg’s book A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media says.

G; morning Gini and John ~ pretty day!

John,,
I’m in Ohio too & about 3am we had the sirens going off & hail hitting the windows I just hid under the covers till I feel back to sleep!!!

I totally missed Troll2, so don’t have a clue at all what the story is. Was prob very busy with the journey, so no surprise I might miss a few things along the way. We do continue to watch the events in Iran, and pray for the souls lost, and those who continue to speak out, especially since that society is very willing to shoot anyone who doesn’t agree, or so we have seen, fr the pictures coming to us. lol

Comment :
I think that Obama should make a statement that America, stands for Freedom in every situation.
And that Freedom is being able to settle ones own differences, without other Nations meddling in their affairs. Just make it clear that the U.S stands on the side of Freedom.

Good morning John. I spoke too soon, as it appears the clouds are looking very dark, after a beautiful start to the day, and the appearance that the storms may have passed by.
A message to my fellow bloggers and fans of Aly’s:
Good morning all. It’s a beautiful day here in the great state of Ohio, and hopefully the storms are past, for this day, anyway. I would observe that no one who blogs here is w/o a soul. Great passion is absolutely apparent, on all subjects, by smart, informed and civil citizens. We celebrate our free speech, and this forum, where there is an opportunity to discuss the news of the day with our thoughts of it all. I mourn that missing in it all, our the souls that never had the opportunity to have an opinion at all, because their life was snatched away in the womb. I mourn that a society that celebrates life, was so easily convinced this was a remedy to anything at all, and continue to be mystified that those who think it is just fine, are indeed here, to make their argument, as their life was spared fr an evil idea that somehow the life of a baby has no value. God is weeping for those murdered in the womb, by a society that he has blessed. Happy Father’s Day, to all our dad’s, especially those who did choose to think that all their children had the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We celebrate you all this day…

Betty even he knows FOX is #1 he is a closet (alot of things) & now we know he is a closet FOX fan LOL

Alisyn,
One does wonder that he mentions FOX at all, and would observe that he must watch often, to have anything to say at all, hum? lol

I can’t comment on the Troll Movies- I have never seen either.

And WOW – everyone came in quick
Good Morning Everyone !

LOL LOL LOL Troll 2 Fans would that be HAAAAA nevermind I’ll play nice

Good Morning Ms Alisyn,

A fine morning here south of the Capital. I hope you had a great week.

This thing with Iran is a creature of the Democrats own doing, so it is rather appropriate that things blow up with them back in power. As I am sure you know Iran was a friend of the US under the Shah and during the Carter Administration was overthrown due to inaction by that Administration.

Of course then came the hostage crisis where for 444 days US Citizens were held against their will and Carter was unable to do anything about it. Things went way south from there.

Some of course are unaware of the course of events surrounding Iran and thus have no true idea of what leads us to this today.

Looking forward to the show today.

Good morning fellow bloggers.

Concerning Obama’s new ” Fox Phobia ”
Please keep up the Great Work Fox
A 5 Smiley Face Rating .
Go Fox.

There is hope for the world after all,,,, Ann Rice found God!!

Andddddddddd, here’s Aly!!!!

What do you guys think Obummer will do if the Iranians over throw the goverment? Will he send reinforcements in to help? Or tell them to give it back to it’s rightful owners? LOL

Morning Chas!! I sure missed ya this week

Alisyn,
Your dress is GORGEOUS this morning.

I pray for all in this insanity over there!

Ali, I love the hair cut!!

Good morning Chas…and of course, for those of us who watched it all unfold, do have a dif view of it all, fr your perspective, which is as always, an accurate acct of the events as they unfolded. For those who did not have a front row seat, this can be researched of course.

Ok it’s funny but I think the biggest joke is HIMSELF!!!

Ms Alisyn,

Are you chilly? C layton says it’s freezing in the Studio this morning.

Hi Eileen. Nice to see you.

chas

Unfortunately, I listened to about five minutes of the so-called president’s comments last night and wasn’t impressed. It seemed the audence didn’t find it humorous as well since the only one laughing was the president–pretty sick is what it was!

Good morning John,
I wouldn’t dare to even guess what our admin might do on any day. lol A total mystery!!! We continue to hold our breath! Everyone, EXHALE already! ha!

Good morning SheriS,
I went to sleep on the couch, and missed the whole evening of t.v. I am glad the show this morning will be showing the clips of it all.

John he will appoint a czar because he cannot make a decision.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Comment by John June 20th, 2009 at 6:00 am What do you guys think Obummer will do if the Iranians over throw the goverment? Will he send reinforcements in to help? Or tell them to give it back to it’s rightful owners? LOL

Jib Jab got to love those guys LOL

Good morning! Slept like a log. Protests in Iran? Who cares! I would rather see Americans protesting our government on the Washington Mall. That would get me excited! Troll 2..I did not know there was a Troll 1! Fox threatens men who fire other men who tell the truth about the government waste. I am feelin my oats!!!

I wonder when he is going to appoint a Czar Czar?

chas

God Bless Fox News
We are all so greatful to everyone at Fox. You have been Americas only hope for thruth during these very hard times. Thank You Fox !

I love Fox. I am sick of being told that Fox is conservative and is therefore invalid as a source of well rounded source of news and information.

Good morning Carolyn Sam…betcha you are absolutely correct. I think that John has sent his resume for the position of head Czar? I am sure I read that at one point this week…hahahahaha!!! I feel sure, however, that he might be competent for that position? lol

While it may seem that Obama cannot stop talking about Fox, what he is doing is simply sticking by the “Rules for Radicals” by Saul Alinksy…rule # 13, which says, “Pick the target, freeze it, and personalize it”.

It worked F&F came on I started laughing & sure enough the SUN came out from behind the dark clouds! Ali & my blog friends you truly brightened my day

Good Morning everyone from Flyover.

Good Morning Ali and Bookends.

Iran. I think the first thing the anointed one should do is send in a team of barbers. Those are some of the worst beards I have ever seen.

Morning Olin,, thats funny

Which is why the President can’t stand Fox. They are the only News that will not crawl under his desk.

He wants no opposition or questions asked about his plans. Mostly because he doesn’t have any answers.

chas

It’s almost like Iran’s state run media. ABC fair and balanced? HAAAAAA

Obamma must have all the beauties from FNC on his mind. I hope it doesnt go to Claytons head. Why else would he keep bringing you up and giving you free advertisement.

Ed

Alisyn,
Ah…the Huck is spot on, as usual. lol

further on the Obama ” Fox Phobia ”
I think that ” The Open Letter To Our Nations Leaders ”
has really scored high. maybe we can discuss the Letter as tomarrows subject. I would really like to hear peoples thoughts on it’s contents.

Good morning Olin,
You always do make me smile so big, and usually the smile is accompanied by a hearty laugh. Good for the soul and the spirit for sure. lol

Fox News to Owhydontyoulikeme is like a carbuncle in a sensitive spot. Every time he moves he feels it.

Good morning, Alisyn and everyone.

FoxNews is Obama’s kryptonite.

Hannity should ask for an hour of broadcasting from the WH. Does anyone think he would have a snowballs chance in ……….? He could have that beer with Sean LOL

Thats right Huck FOX is #1

Chas…it has been reported that the new prez has not experienced much criticizm in his life, so FOX would be a phenomenon he is not used to for sure. One wonders that a man who wanted to be the prez, would be at all alarmed or offended by the citizens whose ideas are part of the American experience. lol

Good morning Lanna,
It would appear you are correct in that analogy!!! lol Kryptonic…yep! For sure. lol

Hey Gini,
Me and Maddy really got a good laugh out of Glenn eating all that cookie dough on T V last night.
thinking of You, our Czar .
He was really funny.

John…another thoughtful observation of it all. Hannity might, however, be a good choice for the prez, to show his total willingness to speak to all the citizens, instead of just a few, hum? Likely you are correct, however, another indication that your informed positions might qualify you for Czar of the Czars, hum? lol hahahahaha…

The media IS SUPPOSED to criticize, anylize, evaluate, and investigate. They are not supposed to don cheer leading skirts and pom poms and simply sit in his AMEN corner. They exhibited they can be critical for the last 8 years. Where have all those people gone who could not say one good thing about George Bush!?

Mac…

Did anyone notice that the house increased their budget by 7%? Everyone is in a financial pinch and they keep spending. We shouldn’t be surprised. We need a spending Czar. Any sugestions?

Gini , Thanks for the endorsement. LOL

OBAMA’s fixation = his problem is that he’s not FAIR OR BALANCED!

The reason President Obama keeps bringing Fox News up is maybe because you keep bringing him up ..over and over and over…. Fox News Fair and Balanced SURE you are
Marisa
Australia

Carolynro,
You are so right. It no fault of Fox News that the MSM has just forgot what their responsabilities are to the American People.

Fox News, being the only news outlet that is not state controlled, is bound to come under attack. Obummer is so arrogant, he cannot believe that anyone could not agree with him. Therefore I doubt that a public outcry, short of what we are seeing in Iran, would change his thinking.

Good morning Nick..I agree with you. Effective, to a point, but would seem some are thinking he may be “nice enough”, however his abilities to administer his office might be on shaky ground. A nice looking person, with a nice looking fam, does not necessarily mean one is tooled to do their job, after all. lol

Come on! Even you have to realize the the reason that the president often mentions Fox is because Fox is constantly being critical of him in your own “fair and balanced” (not) way

oh oh oh!!! Aly!!! anything that sparkles and/or lights up, would be so fun, hum??? ha! I LOVE it, I say!!!!

It’s typical, they don’t do their DD and then they try to make it look as though Fox is a fanatic for doing their DD.

Nice try Joe, wrong pew buddy

Awwww Sturniolo, we might disagree with that, but celebrate your view anyway. Actually, one has the opportunity to search many venues, and make up their mind, hum? FOX, in my opinion, is a great source for the news of the day. If you are thinking it’s NOT, why are you watching? Welcome, however…lol You are watching the best of the best, of course. Yep…

I heard about their 7% increase, John — that would be 7% of their existing $1.3 million yearly dole.

Good morning Bruce…

I’m often amused by those who say Fox isn’t Fair and Balanced, like ABC and the rest are.

Silly people to be sure.

chas

Joe, Do you think the other media is fair and balanced? If so who?

You go Gini

Yes Fox should report the news but they shouldn’t take sides it’s so obvious

I never heard of the movie or the cast names…guess I’m behind the times.

Is ABC doing their show from the bedroom?

Marisa,

Are you saying that you think the networks are taking sides?

Shirley you jest.

chas

Alisyn,
Well, that explains that. A zombie movie would not have been on my list of movies, for sure. hahahaha! IF the opportunity came along to go to the movies, that wouldn’t have been considered one I would have been willing to spend my money on. Good for him, however, and I hope this venture is successful. lol

He is so arrogant that he laughs in our face joking about the media being in bed with him!
Just remember,,,, Lay down with dogs you come up with fleas

Let’s see…while Obama was at the dinner making jokes, let’s take a look at the state of the USA…

north korea amazingly speaks about sending a missle, perhaps with a nuke warhead) over hawaii as if we were a 2 bit banana republic.

north korea is moving a ship loaded with 25,000 lbs of nuke material warning the us not to come near it or risk war

iran is rioting, trying to change (thought obama loved change) and throw out a modern day hitler who represses women, ethnic minorites and others, claims the holocaust is a hoax, and obama does nothing, says nothing, offers no encouragement….

iran maniac gives speeches about anilhiating isreal and the usa and obama says nothing…

hamas govt threatens our long standing ally israel while obama says nothing….

we have 500 terror suspects at gitmo that may be let go and let go right here in our country just 7 plus years after 9/11….

on top of the economic disaster Obama is putting us through higher unemployment, lower stock market, lower industrial production, increasing the deficit 4 fold in the middle of a recession, allowing China to own most of our rising debt, runaway spending, higher taxes on all of us, rich and poor, regulating private businesses, free market interference etc, the international implications of a former community organizer is harrowing and poses a threat to not only our lives, but the lives of the world. Hopefully a foreign leader like sarkozy or merkel will come to our rescue.

hahaha Chas shirley I don’t

Joe and Marisa seem to have a guilt complex. Defending the Obummer media? WOW what nerve!

Nick,
And…would seem, allowing the water to be turned off in Calif jeopardizing crops and the farms that grow those crops, putting many out of work, yet again. One wonders what is going on, after all, hum? I would think an executive order would be appropriate, to prevent a disaster….yep! One wonders for sure.

Marisa, good morning. Sides? hummmm…well, I guess it is always subject to a person’s view point, and of course, how informed that viewer might be, abt the news of the day, the history of it all, and the ability to research many venues, hum? Some do it better, of course, than others…of course.

It is like everything else in life Marisa, it all depends upon the prism with which you view the world.

chas

Gracious! E Coli and cookie dough? My my my, tsk tsk…..call in the cookie czar immediately.

Oh John so are you saying this blog is only for anti Obama supporters how very American of you

That jibjab was great it not only supports but slams the President at the same time. The same result from the President mentioning Fox. A hate/love relationship, just means Fox is doing a good job.

Check with your chickens and be sure they haven’t been hanging out with Sam and Ella.

The cookie Czar sent me cookies and now I’m feeling ill. Do you have a good attorney Cookie czar? LOL

Marissa:

Perhaps you missed when Chris Matthews of MSNBC said Obama gives him chills up his leg and that when Obama won, Matthews said, on air, that he was going to make it his job to make sure Obama is successful??? Did you miss that, Marissa?

And why IS Fox number one in our country? More libs watch Fox than do conservatives according to their internal polling. Perhaps you folks who want to cast Fox as biased should do some research instead of the continual pounding away with the lies that are told on other “jealous” news outlets!!!

All points of view are welcome here Marisa. I believe John was very precise in his wording saying the Obama media.

chas

There are plenty of blogs where Obummer detractors are not welcome Marisa. I sure you are aware of that. Aren’t you?

morning Ali….and all…
time to make the cookies? LOL

Sturniolo,
At the very least, Fox is Holding Obama to his Promise to America.
He did Promise to be Transparent.
And Strangely enough the MSM ( other than Fox ).
Just can’t find one thing wrong to say about His actions with our Laws and Money.
The Truth hurts, and Obama is feeling that Pain .
I’m sorry but I Respectfully Disagree with you on this point.

Marisa. Everyone here has the right to express their opinion, no matter which way their flag blows.

Ha Olin…tooooooooo funny. I am sure THOSE cookies, are not fr ME! hum??? I am thinking you have received cookies fr a source that has not been stamped with our seal of approval….caution, as there are entities out there, that would destroy this noble effort to dispense cookies and smiles to all, hum???

Come on people, there is no reason to be unfriendly. Marisa is entitled to express her opinion here just as you are.

There is no exclusionary clause on this blog. Everyone’s views are welcome so long as respect is shown to your fellow bloggers. Please remember that.

chas

We blog here and support Fox because we trust the information we get from FOx and we can have discussions that we can support with facts and not just fiction that the other networks tend to pepper their “Love Story” about Obama’s administration. How can we trust how other networks to “evaulate” a president when they refuse to overlook his charm and charisma and when treat him as if he is always doing the right thing and not as a human?

welcome Marisa….

Chas: We may defensive in our defense of Fox for a good reason/

Marisa,

I noticed that too. I am a channel surfer in the a.m. while getting ready for work. I noticed when I switch to Fox, stories are prefaced with opinion.

Marisa…you are very welcome to be here. lol You will find that the comments are smart, informed, and always civil. That is the rule…hum? lol You are watching FOX, after all, so you might expect that the majority of fans, are prob more conservative, however, so a complaint abt that is a bit curious? There are other blogs that are not so much, however, so one does have options, another great part of a free society.

Morning all,

The reason Fox is trhe object of his Ojoker’s jokes is they are getting under his skin by doing what the 4th Estate is supposed to do…look and report objectively at his policies and programs…Right Brian Williams?

Sorry Marissa but recently many of us have all been raked over the coals for our support of Fox and the conversations deteriorated to a place none of us wanted to go. Many of us don’t understand why it is not ok to rag on Obama while it is ok to rag on Fox or individuals here on a very personal level.

Take 3

The cookie recall is just more proof the Otheyhateme is watching & reading this blog

Good morning Jimmy…

_________________________________________________________________________________

I did not see anything that would suggest that when I signed in here. But I must ask you ,
What did you expect to find here.
You do have every right to speak as you feel. As well as all on this forum.
Fair & Balanced !

I have always wondered who was on top when the chills ran up his legs

Hi Gini….I mean it is overwhelming…and in thinking, there is no way this guy could be where he is without a full charge election fraud and manipulation. This is why, in my opinion, he hasn’t spoken out about fraud in Iran….and this census non-sense is the latest attempt to spread the mustard seeds of cancer throughout our system to ensure that when this jerk is long gone, his legacy will live on. He exists for only one thing–to spread his socialistic beliefs like a plague, not to lead now, but to plant the seeds (the socials programs, the supreme court nominees, cap and trade, taxes ,corp takeovers, rulings from the bench, etc.). scary stuff…..

the seems most Democrats have selectively forgotten all the Bush Bashing they did during his term….and well after…..but those same people don’t want anyone to dare make any remarks about Obama’s lack of abilty to lead….or about the huge mistakes he is making

I don’t believe anyone is being unfriendly to Marisa. We are asking her questions. If she wants to visit here she needs to defend her postions.

Let,s use the current administration method, let’s apologise then ignore them and hope they go away.

If you are an Obama fan you are going to be defensive if you hear something that you consider to be critical. There is nothing wrong with that. And there is nothing wrong with investigating or analyzing a president. But, in a country where the networks have been anti just about everything conservatives believe in many of us don’t think the media has been fair until Fox came along. That’s all.

Morning all,

Ojoker keeps mentioning fox because it is doing what the 4th estate is supposed to do…examine the programs and objectively report on it….right Bri an Williams

Ms Alisyn has no problem with criticism of Fox here. But this blog is about the show and that along with the topics shown above are the areas of discussion with which we should be involved.

The topic is the Presidents fixation on Fox, not others dislike of Fox.

Which, if you think of it is like you walking into someones house and complaining about the decoration and room design. Would you do that to someone’s face? I doubt it.

chas

Good point Bruce!

But, I have to ask…when a person doesn’t like Fox why do they watch it or blog on a Fox blog? I don’t get it.

I have always wondered who was on t.o.p when the c.h.I.l.l.s ran up his l.e.g.s

OK I watch Fox everyday because it is entertaining I am answering MY opinion of a question that was asked by Alisyn..thanks for the welcome guys but like most sites on the net as soon as someone doesn’t agree folks try to make them feel bad…I love people and I love life but I do have an opinion, I’m sorry I will leave you to your blog. God Bless

Nick…I must absolutely agree with you. and it is more than scary, absolutely, fr this citizens view point. lol

He has supporters in all 57 states. There must be media in all 57 states that back him.

Are they in the closet?

Good point Bruce!

But, I have to ask…when a person doesn’t like Fox why do they watch it or blog on a Fox blog? I don’t get it.

Marisa, Joe, Kevin…..they are marking you as trolls! This group loves the bias and “untruths” reported by Fox. I posted here for a while but I’m done with them now. I hope you decide to stay and fight. I give up!

Well said, Carolyn.

Awwww Marisa! bye then, but one would be sorry that your entertainment would have been squashed by a few that might not agree. lol Alisyn celebrates all her viewers, regardless of their point of view. lol or so I have observed.

Marisa…no one asked you to leave…

Right Chas: But it is actually one in the same. You don’t think that his criticisim of Fox is not some sort of message and his fans will go out in full force and do the Sol Alinsky thing here as has been happening for the last several weeks? If someone comes with an honest curiosity or opinon it is one thing. But, to come in and to go straight past the topic and on to bashing Fox don’t you find that a nice coincidence? And even if Obama is not sending out a message there are enough folks out there who will think it is and act accordingly.

What was the topic again? Oh yeah why can’t Obama stop talking about Fox? It is the same reason the other talk shows won’t stop trying to make Rush the leader of the republican party…it is a intentional plan to “Alinsky” him.

It’s a love/hate relationship, or maybe they are worried they may miss something, or maybe it’s the only place with intelligent people

LOL Troll 2 fans I thought it was over LOL

If defending your views makes you feel bad this is not the site for you.

Hey Marissa: What time is it in Australia? Isn’t it tomorrow there already? Hmmmm?

good morning all. enjoyed sleeping in this morning.

Good Morning Alisyn and everyone,
Fox News is number one… because they tell it like it is…fair and balance,
not like the other networks,
that only tell you what they want you to know…just like this Administration.

Of course, there are a few that come, and do think they have their finger on the pulse of everyone with a view point, when they could not possibly know at all, fr whence views come from, hum? To those, who come to accuse and threaten, I continue to just scroll past. So many here more worthy of my attn, as their comments are smart, informed, and always civil.

Hi Anita & Sal

Good morning Anita!!! and how are you this fine morning. The sun is out again here, after threatening another storm, so I am hoping for a beautiful day, spent on the deck and in the pool, YES! God is good for sure.
Good morning Sal…you survived the storms unscathed I hope. lol

Since when is it wrong for people to want to know where thier money is going.
We keep asking , and He and his people keep not answering.
The Obama administration, is moving too fast on things that the American people have not asked for nor endorsed. They are moving very fast on an agenda that is not in sinc with the American people.
All I can say is – they really better listen soon.
True a President would be hard to replace in Mid-term. But, well, now a Community Organizer ?
That I think he might not be such a task to replace.
I honestly have not seen one thing from Obama that appears to be Presidential .

Promises promises….

Did anyone notice yesterday that Congress passed the Cash for Clunkers measure to the pleasure of Ochiefnewcarsalesman….The big news is where was this measure stuffed…The War Funding Bill.

I wonder why the press clapped so loudly when the President praised his his Supreme Court nominee at last night’s dinner. It’s one thing to laugh at jokes, but quite another for the press to show approval of a nominee.

Well, youb have to give it to Obama for how is on tv every day. He is trying to do what Reagan did- talk over the media. But, the media back then was not for Reagan.

hi gini…overcast here and looks like a promise of thunderboomers….i was planning on seaing the deck today…been trying for the last week…the days its good for it, i have other things going on.

Expressing your opinion is one thing. When it is directed personally either by name or a blanket “You Guys”, expect an answer.

This TV critic is making 100% sense…FINALLY!!!!

Good Morning Gini,
yes… I didnt hear a thing to tell you the truth..lol
Morning Eileen.

brb…

The obvious support by the media is what is driving me nuts. They further embolden the president with their tacit approval of him when they are not supposed to be the only people he is “playing” to.
He is supposed to be workiong for the country- not for applause and adoration of the press who will only write good things about him.

True beans, Olin. BBL

Sam…I would agree, and it is curious. I am not disposed to watch that which I don’t enjoy, therefore, everyone might wonder why? But, is okey dokey…lol It’s just the way it is. One would not want to interfere with the “entertainment” enjoyed by some, with any intrusion, after all, hum? We do celebrate free speech, after all. lol And the “freedom” to scroll past, as well. lol Cookies, however, might be in order, and smiles dispensed as well. lol We are a joyous and hopeful group as a rule, and do celebrate the opportunity to muse over the news of the day, on the weekends w/Alisyn. lol

Marisa,
say it anyway you want to.
no-one here wants you to leave. No-one here wants to silent your opinions.
but please – if you stay try not to knock Fox – thats all any of us are asking of you.
Don’t shoot this Messenger – ok. – And please feel free to speak your mind.

I would love to stay and defend my views all morning but duty calls and I must leave. God bless everyone including those who disagree. Have a wonderful day.

With ABC’c low ratings, I wish some how a boycott could be of ABC and get the high points from CBS, NBC, Fox and other networks.

Sal…I only woke up long enough to close the windows, to prevent the rain fr getting me wet!!! hahahaha…slumbered peacefully until abt 6a, and waited patiently {well, not very patiently really} for Alisyn.

i missed part of the dante stallworth story….did the family get a settlement as part of the 30 day sentence?

bye John, and have a great day! lol

CYA John

TEST

I have 3 post lost in space what’s up. This is work for me I only use two fingers [ upto 6wpm] I’ve lost 20min. worth. Give me a break

Anita….the deck is not finished yet, but almost. I have gone ahead and put the furniture out on it, but of course, it will have to be sealed. If that job takes as long as it has taken to do the repair, I don’t expect it to interfere at all with the use of the deck!!!! hahahaha! YIKES! And, of course, the ceiling in the kitchen still has it’s loverly hole. Apparently carpenters are not out of work, and definitely do not seem to be interested in this small job. lol ~~sigh~~ oh well, and so it goes. lol I am, if nothing else, patient in all things, usually!!!! lol

Have a great day John.

I think I’m sleeping sitting here, cause I’ve never been this quite

Bruce…Alisyn observed that if comments come too fast, wordpress has a bit of a hard time, and some comments are lost. It just happens, however, we love the challenge of WILL THIS POST OR NOT, hum????? Of course, only the comments that are just sooooooo very good, seem to be lost, YIKES! or so has been my experience, anyway, however it might be just that I think my comment was “so well done”, hahahahahaha…submit now>>>>>

Is anyone complaining that Obama’s family stayed back in France on the taxpayer dime? Well, we should be complaining. And of course his Broadway date….c’mon….where’s the outrage???

Gini, I was up till 12 last night and it didnt rain yet..but it was windy.

Good morning Ali and everyone in the room….

Gini your right about contractors, I’ve been working 7 days a week since Jan. with no end in site. Praise the Lord

ok alisyn…ya’ll are stretching for news topics…top 10 ways to swat a fly???? LOL

What disgusted me about the fly was that Ogerms never washed his hands afterward, didn’t he ever learn that?

Carolyn It is maddening for sure, but apparently for the moment anyway, some of the media have gotten their job confused, and have moved fr presenting the news, to a position of commentator. lol The citizen who does not recognize this, will be fooled into thinking the news has been presented, when indeed, a point of view ON the news of the day, has been presented AS the news. An informed citizen, of course, is wondering whatsup with that? and why everyone isn’t objecting, on principle. lol

Betty it’s a guy thing he wiped it on his pant leg

G’ morning Marine wicked weather for you yesterday? We are mourning Fly today

Betty,

There needs to be a “Hygeine Czar” … but, i am sure that is in the works. He didn’t wash his hands because there was no one there doing it for him

Ah Anita…a good agent and covert operative was the Fly…We mourn the death of the Fly. lol

Dom, good morning. lol

BruceWV, I can see how that would work for Chris Matthews as his pants are wet from all the tingles.

Alisyn,

Praying for John Ensign; as a Christian, I know that no one is perfect. The Bible says, “For all have sinned and fall short of His glory.” However, I’ve noticed that you guys aren’t reporting the Ensign scandal. Why is this? Did your boss say you couldn’t? You guys ripped Edwards apart. Is this fair and balanced?
Also, one of the guys just said, re: the fly, “This story has taken on a life of its own.” No, you gave it life by going on, and on, and on about it.

Good Morning Alisyn and to everyone on the blog this morning! I was up all night due to bad storms through central PA, and I actually slept in today.

In regard to the “one” and his mention of Fox News so many times: He has never had anyone tell him that he is doing bad things to our economy or that he has ever done anything bad. He has always had praise and adoration from this family and radical friends. What do you expect? He can dish it out, but he can’t take it. If he can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Also to the Cookie Czar, the helicopter is grounded due to the weather so we won’t be able to fly anywhere for selling the our sweet treats!

Bruce!!!! ~~laughing~~ I might agree with that observation!!! YIKES! lol

Yes, it was crazy weather all day. I can’t even count how many time my weather radio went off yesterday, we had alerts about the alerts, alerts that cancelled other alerts, power went out repeatedly as did satellite TV and my Sat. internet even went down for awhile….it was pretty crazy.

Good morning Mary,
Does this mean I am stuck in Tahiti??? YIKES! lol

I am a fox news fan. I watch Fox News daily, however I was reminded again at about 8:30 am est this morning why I rarely tune in to fox and friends. How to kill a fly who is bothering me? Really now, doesen’t that fall into the category of mindless drivel?

No one heard at the end of Obama’s interview that the fly being in the White House was President Bush’s fault and the reason Obama had to kill the fly was because he inherited it from President Bush.

What’s wrong with Morgan Stanley Executives taking jets? In this recession, Obama blatantly took her wife for a date with wife on tax payer’s dime.

Dom…we had storms roll thru yesterday and then a pause in the afternoon so my Grand Kids could swim, got very very very hot!!! and then storms again last nite. Today is lookin’ good however, after a moment of stormy clouds. Looking out the front door, I see nuttin but blue skies, so far. Subject to chg, of course, as it is Ohio, after all!!! ha ha ha! lol

The question is what was running down his l.e.g.s.

BruceWV, I can see how that would work for Chris Matthews as his pants are wet from all the tingles.

Excuse me. I have to leave for a moment. My mother told me it was not polite to scratch in public.

Ko-Jen Shih…..right on!!!

Well Bill, now if you are ever on a “Family Feud” and they ask the top 10 ways to kill a fly, you’ll know. You never know…it could happen….LOL

Nick…and we continue to mourn the untimely death of the Fly…lol

Flys take off backwards is reason #2 works well.

I would play taps but it was a tap that killed him

Ko-jen… Welcome, and I agree also. lol

Nick, and the CIA lied about the fly even being there. And where was the Secret Service…isn’t it their job to keep the Pres safe from marauding flies

All these people that come on here to knock Fox News..dont it make you wonder if they work for other networks..if you dont like Fox News…. why are you here?

Good morning all….I’m here late, but here just the same….Where’s Liz? You on this morning?
Can someone tell me, “Is Alisyn online here?” I can never tell when she is online…what is her Name on here? Hee hee! Good morning Ali……love your outfit this morning….

The fly was the 1st and last prototype of the new Palleta spy fly

An untimely tap, Eileen, but well executed by our executive, hum??? And with the other hand as well, showing clearly, an ability to do all things, both left and right?? hum? or so we would be led to think, anyway. lol We mourn the Fly…..

Nick, NY ~ Fly was brought into the White House with Obugman in its larvae (maggot) stage from Chicago.

True Bruce, and a very well trained covert operative…we continue to mourn the death of the Fly…

Amen, with the other channels they would have nothng to disagree with. Koolaid drinkers.

HEY Dyker Park in Brooklyn That’s my old neighborhood in Brooklyn!!!!!!! it’s on 92nd & 4th at Fort Hamilton right at the Varasano bridge

Betty…a well placed mole, lying dormant until called to action! We continue to mourn the death of the Fly….

Hi Rob…I’m reading all the bias this morning. Good to see you. I won’t be on much anymore, if at all. They already scared off about 4 people this morning by attacking their views. Good to see you. Have a great weekend!

Good morning Rob…and Aly does look beautiful this a.m., doesn’t she. lol

Eileen.. I used to live on the other side of the 59th street bridge in Queens.

What everyone has to watch with the “one”. You must watch the left hand carefully, because you just don’t know what the right hand is doing. My interpetation: the “one” has a shell game going on with everything.

He says one thing, does another. Even with the fly that he murdered. Watch the hands folks~

Have terrorists been able to reduce an explosive package to the extent that they can now use suicide flies?

Salvatore, they need news to. I think they are affraid they might miss something or better yet maybe they are affraid to come out of the closet

Sam…dont it make you wonder why.

Mary AND the personal shopper is home, and must check and see if cookies have arrived. Will return shortly, with good news, I hope!!!

cool Sal

I hear you BruceWV.

The Guns in Bars was a poorly handled segment. You should get the facts prior to airing. Many states with carry permits allow you to carry your handgun into a RESTURANT that serves alcohol. There are other rules that normally apply though. If you as the carrier comsume alcohol, your carry permit is no longer valid, therefore you are carrying illegally and are subject to arrest. Georgia already has this law on the books and it has not been an issue.

Just another indication that the White House has gone to Hell in a handbasket. If they would just clean up around the place once in a while, it wouldn’t draw flies. Even us country boys know that.

Gini, my personal shopper brought me Oreos yesterday…………I am a dunker, so they were good with a tall glass of cold cold milk. I hope you as Cookie Czar will approve of the Oreo’s that were purchased at Walmart for a good price.

Liz,

Channel surfing, I wonder why “news” here is so different from every where else.

Good news folks!!!! The cookies have arrived, as well as Pineapple Swirl Cake…yummm!!!! lol I am smilin’ huge now! lol

I have to go to the Dentist this morning,
have a great day everyone,
be back later.

Olini I think you might be on to something here because I have always called the terrorists maggots

bye Sal…lol

Bye Sal

The ceo’s want to go to vacation on our dime then we the people should say where they will vaction to. I suggest Iran. I hear the weather is nice this time of year.

Yes it is Kevin, and these bloggers tune OUT every other station. They don’t watch anything else, so they are total Foxbots! They won’t even allow debate here without attacking and name calling. You can see their distorted views about the current economic conditions and the way Obama is handling the Iran situation. They have no idea what’s really going on! This is how extremists are made.

Olin, do ya know what draw flies in the first place? I can’t post the bad word here, but ya know what it is being the country boy.

olinl, as a country boy, you should know that flies can get into the cleanest of places; you do know that don’t you?

Good morning Gini…thanks! Easy to agree on on Ali this morning….:-)
Liz, don’t let anyone stop you from telling us your views, as weveryone has a view and expressing your views is what makes this blog great!! I don’t care what anyone says on here….you should not either. Afterall, what would we look forward to on the weekends, if we didn’t have people like Liz, Gini, Chas or Marine1967….and of course you know the usuals…. If it weren’t for all of you fun people we could not have a spirited exchange….I learn something (good and bad) everytime I get on this blog!! There are some fun and smart people on here…..enjoy your day…
Happy Fathers Day to you fathers out there….!!

Goodbye Everyone. It is time to prepare a late breakfast, and, looking outside, I see that the crowd is growing larger with each wave of Ojustpayyourtaxes’ magic regal wand.

I am sure FOX network, invites the scrutiny, and those who have not watched, may come to see what all the dust up is abt, hum? One might think, in the process, a whole new viewership may be persuaded to think abt it all, fr a more informed point of view. lol

bye Olin..see ya later. Have a great day!!!

I believe obama talks about Fox so much because he is afraid of you and your coverage. We all know that he uses snide comments and sarcasm against anyone who questions him. The “Great One”
(heavy sarcasm here) just doesn’t know how to handle Fox.

Rob

Does anyone see a connection between what happens in a country with state-run media which only touts the official Party Line like ABC will be doing for the health care propganda show, like MSNBC does, like Letterman does, and like the President seems to think Fox should also do and what happens in a place like Iran where there is only state-run media?

Saul Alinsky in his Rules for Radicals had the technique Obama seems familiar with of trying to attack and make fun of your enemies and Obama and his in the tank media have done this from Day One. He attacks Fox because he wants state-run media he controls, like Iran has. If not for Fox, we would have czar mullahs running every aspect of our country and a Dear Leader brooking no dissent. Just. Like. Iran.

Did those who voted for “hope and change” think they were voting for a dictatorship suppressing fair and balanced media like Fox? Better watch what you wish for.

Lets look the other way and waste money. Any feel the same well you should be looked at as well. Hide and sneak games with other people money.lol

I am having a great time here this morning, But I must sign off for awhile.
I got a call from my 2 sons last night, and they are both driving here for the weekend.
I need to get everything in order.
BBL.
Have a great morning everyone.

Yes, That is what I am trying to say; Don’t kill the Messager who tells more sides than most outlets. Amen!

Retro

Retro…it would be requisite that the citizen trying to figure it all out, would have read Salinzsky {sp?}, to begin with, if they hoped to recognize anything at all, abt the message and the messenger. I fear there are some who are not that informed, therefore, their opinion may not be as informed as others…lol

The Corporations having fun with our money should not surprise anyone. Obama took his wife on an expensive “date” at our expense. Some aspects of Government spend our money for all sorts of idiotic things and the Corporations are now (thanks to the so called stimulus and TARP) just an extension of our Government.

I hate to say it because I generally rely on Fox for all news coverage, but you are being beaten by both CNN and BBC on Iranian protest coverage this morning. This could be the story of this generation-I know you don’t have reporters there but up to the minute coverage via Twitter and other network sites would be helpful. Your interviews of Iranian families in in US is nice, but not news.

Well Tom, after all, other people’s money is easier to spend, always, or so I have observed along the journey. lol No surprises here for this citizen. lol

hi ali,
obama cites fox often as the ‘folks’ that are opposing him and everything he stands for-
it just because the democrats have become very mean spirited-

Good morning Alisyn, all

The president is taking heat from the right and the left for his policies regarding Iran it seems to me that must be the right balance.

My husband recently visited Iran to visit a particle board plant. He was consdering using it for his supply chain, he ultimately decided against that idea. He was pleasantly surprised to see the country/men/women to be educated, “modern”, and friendly to American’s. They were egar to please the American businessmen and were wonderful hosts. His impression was that there are two Irans, one of the people and one of the government.

I missede most of the coverage of the Radio and Televison dinner last night but what I did over hear from the kitchen, I thought the president was very funny, but not as funny as our last president.

A tough week in my household this week… my oldest daughter was hit broadside and totaled her car… All is fine, but it was a call that is every mother’s nightmare… it puts petty political argements in a different perspective doesn’t it?

Good morning marshall g

I agree Retro, there needs to be different opinions in the media and to Fox’s credit they do put on “Democrats” for panel discussions, etc., but they tend to “bash” those opinions, sometimes right after they are expressed. Obama knows Fox’s agenda, but I think he (and pretty much everyone in the country) is dumbfounded by how far they go in distorting the facts to suit them. It seems they are hell bent on making sure this administration has no chance of succeeding, which as Americans we should be outraged about. They say they report, you decide, but what they mean is “let us decide for you.”

Fox does not “bash” other’s views. They just give a different perspective. At least Fox is willing to have both Conservative AND Liberal views. MSM has only the liberal side and we are supposed to swallow it without question.

Daylin…and astute observation, I think. Good morning

I hope your daughter is going to OK Lori. Prayers and best wishes to her.

chas

BruceWV,
Terrorists? Isn’t that EXTREMISM? I thought we were over that type of name-calling.
Call me naive.

Iran is a mess….. Hope we never have to go through that here in this country…..can you imagine? Violence is not the answer. But sometimes talking is not enough either…
They need one leader, who is elected by the people to lead the country. There was an election, and fixed or not, it’s a process. The “current” leader should be the one to make sure there is no “perception” of fixing the election. (He failed to do that!)
It’s going to get rough over there.

excellent points Retro…re:8:13

Wow, Lori, I’m glad your daughter is alright. What a week you had.

Jon Stewart sent a reporter to Iran, and they are quite west-friendly. I was very surprised. I believe the US was involved in putting a dictator in Iran to begin with….I need to do some research on that, but the “games we played in the past!” There have been times in the past when Iran was democratic, amazingly enough.

This is really sick Aly…people are amazing, aren’t they! And it is insidious and despicable on all levels. lol

Every time the President mentions Fox it’s an at-a-boy {he’s a closet fan}

Good Morning Gini

Daylin, you are wrong! Watch “Morning Joe” Scarborough. They have whole “conservative” shows! Does Fox have any “libaral” shows? NO

Well hmm I just figured that ceo’s needing help to save there business not there lavished life style. These are high risk takers in the market. Standards are needed for those companies that recieve tarp funds so risky ceo’s will be regulated within the company.

Liz, AMEN. Notice how Fox won’t cover the John Ensign story; but bashed John Edwards to no end.
I know that others notice this imbalance, but refuse to acknowledge it.

Marshall G, I have noticed since the 2000 election, that the dems and libs have gone out of their way to be “mean spirited” as you well note. The Democratic party of years ago were more like the Conservative party of today. My Father and Mother were life long Dems, as well as myself. However, I had seen many years ago the way in which the party was headed and decided to make a change for the better.

Bruce, believe me, Obama has no time to watch Fox….he has people to do that for him. They show him the “highlights”! LOL Gimme a break.

I’ve been told that the rationale behind attacking flies from behind, is that they take off backwards, so i don’t think that their 360 vision has anything to do with it. You woul still have to be quick.

Good morning everyone.

Good morning Beverly. We are supposed to be, however, alas, there is no other definition that fits! ha! Oh well…a duck is a duck is a duck, after all is said and done, hum??? YIKES! ~~chuckle~~

TAKE 2
Lori,, my prayers are with your family!

as far as W I sure miss the guy, love him or hate him he was just the cuest little thing LOL

That is right, they don’t have a show that is just Liberal views or just Conservative views. Each show has differing views as opposed to an entire show of one-sided diatribe.

Mary, I felt the same way until the economy fell apart and we found out the truth about the WAR on terrorism. What would it take to wake you up?

brenna…and we continue to mourn the death of the Fly… ~~chortle and chuckle~~

Beverly what do you call middle eastern people who want to kill us!!!!

well chit maybe this will post!!! I’ve had so much to say but none getting through!!!!

Rob,

Iran was always friendly until we failed to support the Shah, who was making things democratic and economic gains were making a real change in the Country.

Our lack of support allowed the Mullah’s take over and the Theocracy, not the people, became unfriendly.

Some claim that the Shah was vicious as a ruler, however it turns out the Mullah’s were even more so killing thousands of dissectors in order to hold on to power.

So we created our own problem by turning our backs on them in the late 70’s.

chas

Agree Tom & Beverly…..wow, it’s nice to see some more “balanced” opinions here. I was the only moderate here for the last month or so….besides lori and rob.

Mary…I would make the observation that the dem party moved away fr you and your values, not the other way around. Or so has been this dem’s experience anyway. I haven’t chged at all, but the party has and I do not recognize it at all, even fr a youthful point of view, and surely not at all, fr a more seasoned point of view. The journey has been interesting and alarming, and I mourn the Fly, and the death of my party, as well.

Isn’t DVR a wonderful tool Liz?

Yes Liz wasn’t the best of weeks from a glance at last weeks blog you had quite a week too! LOL You mkae me laugh.. LOL

Ok as to not wander off topic I am going out to enjoy the sun while it lasts… frankly I have no interest in politics this week………have a good week all

namaste’

exactly right Chas…..our failure to support the Shah was a crucial turning point there….and Dem. Jimmy Carter certainly didn’t help the situation….

The finally woke up the day Clinton was elected to office. The very next day after his won his election I changed my party. I saw the way the country was headed then, and it continues to this day. The party is all about government interfering in every aspect of our lives, entitlement. The people that rely on the government to help them, will vote them in every time. For years, I voted for the best man to serve in the position of President. However, I changed my party whenever Clinton was elected.

Good morning fox fans. This is my first time on this chat site!

Chas, I agree with your observation. We did stumble along, for sure, one might observe. lol And now, we continue to stumble, would seem. A crystal ball would be handy abt now, one might think. lol Alas, that is not available, so one must lean on the lessons of history, or be subject to the same mistakes, yet again, hum? We continue to mourn the Fly…of course, unable to define the enemy as well, or unwilling, so things continue to be very complicated, as the world has always been, when those in charge are unwilling to take a moral and informed stance on any of it. lol

Whoa, I should have proofread that post. I finally woke up.

Chas- Iran was in fact a tyranny and it’s leaders held on to the country through fear. The people there do not want to return to that type of leadership. They are desperate to be a part of the democracy that is sweeping the world….we all need to get along, and respect others. Reagan, once in office, told them to give back our hostages, or “else”. And they knew he was serious. They did not want America to come to Iran, and open their doors to the world…
Now their doors are open to the world, through technology…. technology will help keep us honest in this world….
Obama needs to be given a chance to impose the democratic ideals on our society, as the republicans have had the past 8 years, and drove us into the mess we are in, or at least allowed it to happen. CEO’s must be stopped!!

brb….need some lotion for that rash….it’s really itching this morning LOL

We need a fly czar so the country can move forward

Got to sign out early today…. wife calling me to take care of the honey do list….. have a nice day all!

OK I give,,,, I’ve feed wordpest enough

I’ll see you all in the Morning cause T has to work again This has been fun!!

Ali thanks for the laughs today

Not having any access to the prez, I wouldn’t have a clue what he has time for, except date nite, and really fun trips on AFI…but hey! I don’t assume to know much at all, and wonder who is connected here, and who is not?? Anyone have insight into the day of the prez, and what his schedule is? lol Nice work, if ya can get it, I would think….hum?

Typical, blaming everyone else instead of looking in a mirror. While the “past” made its mistakes, it did not print more money than can be covered by assets, leading to the inflations that is sure to come (looking to the future) and mortgaging my children and my grandchildren’s future. We can all sit back and spend, spend, spend because it is THEY that will be picking up the bill. Personally, I would rather pay my own bills than shackle my children with my debts.

bye Eileen..have a great and restful day! The sun is out here. Is it out there? lol

Liz, it isn’t the function of the news media to “make sure Obama succeeds”. It isn’t the role of the news media to “support” the President. Did you think the media’s job was to support and make President Bush’s priorities succeed as well? Did the criticism nonstop of him and his policies concern you as well that the majority of the press engaged in?

There is a distinct liberal bias in the media, and this is a dangerous thing unless you want to become like Iran with “state controlled media”. Read Bernard Goldberg’s excellent books, Bias and Arrogance for a true picture of the media and what it is doing and has become.

Fox definitely has mamy liberal voices on all the time. But where will the opposing poing point of view be presented on ABC’s giant healthcare Obamamercial when they will not allow either Republicans to speak or even paid advertisements expressing an opposing point of view on an issue of this importance and are turning over their programming to one party and a President with an agenda? What part of state run media isn’t this?

How is different from what is being propagandized in Iran by the state?

And why is a sitting President disparaging any media outlet he does not control? Does this not disturb you?

rob,

Iran was much freer under the Shah than it ever was under the Mullah’s.

That aside, yes, it would seem a movement is under way to to oust the present dictators, for although they elect a leader it is only the leader the Mullah’s want to see in office.

I wish them well.

chas

namaste’ lori! Mary, the bomb dropped by Bush was enough to take me away from the “party” forever! At least Obama is “fixing” the financial markets now so that can never happen again. The “protections” put after the Great Depression were taken out during the Bush administration and I remember at the time (2007) many on Wall Street were upset about it. Little did they know that they (and the nesteggs of lots of Americans) were about to be “looted” by the banks, who carry many Senators in their pockets….mostly Southern conservatives.

Until you educate yourself about what went wrong, it’s not fair to place blame anywhere. I did a lot of research on it and I’m almost 100% sure about my conclusions!

As for entitlements…..it all goes back into the economy, so it’s all good. If you are “entitled” to entitlements, go for it!

Everyone have a good weekend.

Retro…. awesome post and i completely agree

Dom…I already did that, and now must work work work, to pay it off!!! YIKES! ha ha ha! I am alarmed that the citizen would be so willing to go along with a plan that plainly will cause our society, and our children and their children, such a burden. Not a novel idea after all, for those who are paying attn, and alarming as that is not our usual and normal way of doing business, here in the USA. lol

Retro excellent post and excellent questions, for any informed citizen to ponder. lol

Thank you yet again Retro

Liz, how many conservative voices other than Joe Scarborough can you name who regularly appears on all the other networks besides Fox? What would you say the number of liberal voices or compared to the nnumber of conservative voices? There are numerous liberal voices on Fox. But how many conservatives on ALL the other networks?

Boo hoo..and Aly is almost over!!! lol The Inspector General is up, so must go help him. Due for a hair cut today, so I am very happy the sun is shining, and the promise is a beautiful day! lol

No, Rob, it doesn’t because I see real conservative views expressed on ALL the other stations. Granted, they may not be far right wingnuts, but they are not liberal views. I am not liberal…..I am moderate. I vote a spllit ticket. I think we desparately need term limits and we have to get rid of the lobbyists….they got out of control.

Bruce, your message implied that the “middle eastern” people who want to kill us are in the White House, re: terrorists and maggots. That’s the perception. Sooo, you’re not calling Obama a terrorist? Great; I’m relieved. Good job.

she sure loves to hear her seelf talk

Sam

Well said Retro RE: 8:48AM

I don’t mind saying the liberal bia of MSM is scaring the stuffing out of me.

Furthermore, the mean-spirited way liberals spout their views is also very troubling. Since when is it okay to call people names and disparage people’s personal views and values because they don’t fall in line with the liberal viewpoint?

Thanks for pointing out that I am stupid and not educated. I will definately try to think and act like you next week.

Ignorance is bliss…so they say. Unfortunately, it is just that ingnorance that allowed socialism, fascism and communism to flourish before people knew what was happening. “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing”

I said Rob and I meant Retro…sorry! There may be more liberal views out there, but what does that tell you about the mainstream? I am mainstream….in the middle. I think the far left is crazy and far right is nuts! LOL We have to meet in the middle somewhere! I think Fox has gone too far to the right (along with the Republican party generally) and I hope some moderate voices emerge from the party soon. It’s very scary to think that Rush Limbaugh may be their new voice….a guy whose opinion is based on his own biased views. He doesn’t even have an education beyond high school, so I don’t give any credibility to anything he says. How can he have the nerve to voice is opinion about a Supreme Court justice?

Omoneyboy is doing a sweeping overhaul and the markets dropped significantly this past week. Typical….

You would think the Pres. would participate with Fox.
The pres. for the time being will allow Fox to do there job, by reporting news asking questions to try to learn more about someone or something. For those whom feel Fox is knocking the Pres. boohoo.
These are one of the many medias tactics are that are deployed to extract info. for the viewers. I see no crime in this.

NO WAY!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I ill NOT miss the show tomorrow for sure now!!!!

Yes, Mary, that’s what I’m saying! Sorry. Hey, I’ve been called ignorant here, so don’t take it personally. I just mentioned that Rush Limbaugh is not educated either….and it’s true!

Betty, the markets don’t go straight up…doh! They have “correction” weeks in a bull run. Are you showing your ignorance as well? LOL

OK, bye bye…..I won’t be around to talk to the “regulars” here anymore. I might pop in here and there….so don’t talk about me! LOL

Mary,

Don’t feel bad….whenever people have nothing intelligent to say theyt resort to name calling and put downs. They know they are barking up a tree they can’t possibly climb, so, like the current reigning administration, they try to make fun of and demean the people they, deep down, know are right. To truthfully support their positions would be to difficult, or they are to young or to naive to knowhe difference, so they take shots they can’s back up.

Be the adult Mary….as you are talking to children

No worries, as we only talk abt that which is important, as this is a blog for only the very smart, informed and civil citizen, as a rule, anyway. lol The Inspector General needs some help, so I too, am off for a while to tend to the duties of the day. lol

Sam…we continue to mourn the Fly…a Czar is definitely called for, a the right hand does not know what the left hand might be doing, and some advice fr another source would be advisable. lol

Have a good week everyone. Thanks for the company and thoughts.

Since it sounds like Ms Alisyn is getting her Birthday off I guess there will be no blog tomorrow. So I hope to see everyone next week.

Have a great Birthday Ms Alisyn and a very good week to follow.

Give me a break! All opinions are biased views, to include yours! They are based on a person’s own personal values and experiences. Does not make them any less relevent. To disparage someone’s views because THEY DON’T HAVE AN EDUCATION BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL is snobbish and judgemental. You don’t sound like a moderate, you sound like a liberal.

OK, bye bye…..I won’t be around to talk to the “regulars” here anymore. I might pop in here and there….so don’t talk about me! LOL

bye Chas…see you later I hope, and have a great day. lol

Ali did you say your NOT goning to be here tomorrow for your birthday????

Me, on the AtSS I heard the guys say they will miss Ali tomorrow, soooo…….

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALI

Of course, there are those who think they might be the whole subject of all conversations, much like our prez. A bit narcissistic, one might think? Perhaps…but, who the heck really knows what is is, after all? lol

Mary,

Some people have yet to figure out that education does not equal intelligence.

chas

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALY!!!! lol Have a wonderful day. My grandson was born on Father’s Day, that yr, and was laid in his grandfather’s arms, by our son, with a wish of Happy Father’s Day dad. lol Of course, a beautiful moment to remember, so every Father’s Day is wonderful, as it should be and made more so by that loverly memory. ha! lol

Retro,
Can you name the liberal voices on fox? I’ve never heard one.
Conservative voices on the other networks: Joe Scarborough, Pat Buchannan (sp?), Mary Matilan,
Lou Dobbs, David Gregory, Bill Burton, Nancy Photenheimer, Ed Rollins, to name a few (I’ll come up with more).

Common sense has died. Instead of a $100 million dollar Inauguration (sp?) we should have had a funeral for Common Sense.

some people think they know everything…..It’s better to have the world think you a fool…than to open your mouth….and remove all doubt! LOL LOL

Gini, perhaps paranoid as well as a bit of narcissism thrown in?

and Chas….we only have their word about the education! LOL

Very well said Jimmy,

Chas,

Have A Happy Birthday Ali!!

Sam…I must credit my high school teacher, Miss Turner….with that great line!!!! she told us not to believe something….just because it was in the papers, or on TV….read, read, read…..and study…to find the truth!

Thank you all…been fun. Gotta go paint my bathroom.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALI!!!!!

“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.” (Sir Winston Churchill)

Don’t believe everything you hear and only half of what you see.

“If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it’s free!” (P. J. O’Rourke)

good one Betty….history teaches us that Socialism does not work……and its just a middle step to Marxism…..and we know that hasn’t worked anywhere!
When I was teaching college, I had this quote as a header for each chapter….mostly because students wanted to know why they should study history…..
“Those who do not know history….are condemned to repeat it.” (I think that was Churchill, also….but he took it from ancien t Greece…..they knew it ….even then!)

Yes Chas…and education is of course, a relative state, and gained as a life experience as well as an “education”, as defined by some, hum? Ignorance is bliss, often, and a state which one might be in, whether Educated, or NOT…hum?? Of course, not knowing who might be or not, “educated”, one is only able to determine the ignorance, by comments posted. Some are more “ignorant” whether educated or not, than others.

Aristotle, I believe….

Unable to locate info on the gentleman from The Apprentice this a.m. Could you please send me his website address? Thank you.

Gini…an education is a wonderful thing…but it is up to the student to take full advantage of it…..you can present information….but if it is not taken to heart…..and only memorized to pass a test….the education becomes of little value…..esp. when one continues to spew their own opinions…..it’s the students opportunity….but many throw it away….

LOL Gini so true. Our flight instructors used to say that lawyers made the worst student because they wanted to argue everything and many doctors felt they already “knew it all”. LOL

Louise, that was Bill Rancic. You can google his name and find his sites.

Jimmy…to be educated, one must do more than memorize that which is presented. The definition of an education of course, would include the ability to then find out about it ALL, and not just that which might have been “memorized” along the way. To be both educated and informed, would be the ideal, of course. lol It is a position that most smart, informed and civil people recognize as worthy, whether agreeing with, or not, in all things. lol A robust debate only occurs when those elements are in place, one does know, whether “educated” or not. lol

I tried to post an excerpt from this site earlier, but it’s lost in cyberspace. I hope everyone takes the time to read this article, “How Long Does A Democracy Last?” It’s very informative and gives an historical perspective of what we’re facing in this country.

bbl…..

Education, when limited to only one point of view, does not become wisdom.

Actually, it is called indoctrination.

I’m not sure it could be defined as an Education, Olin. Anyone can memorize…and education is quite different. lol

“I welcome a debate about how we can make sure our regulations work for businesses and consumers,” Obama said. “But what I will not accept — what I will vigorously oppose — are those who do not argue in good faith.”

By that, Obama said, he meant those who defend the status quo at any cost. He didn’t name any people or organizations, but said special interests are already mobilizing to fight change. He called that typical Washington.

“These are the interests that have benefited from a system which allowed ordinary Americans to be exploited,” Obama said. The president said he would stand up for his plans, saying: “While I’m not spoiling for a fight, I’m ready for one. The most important thing we can do to put this era of irresponsibility in the past is to take responsibility now.”

Well, Jimmy…..Nixon wanted Socialism! Google it. He proposed a “guaranteed income” for all Americans, like France!

Oh, the horror….was he Republican?

The Cookie Czar has received a memo fr the chief of the Dept of Pandemic Disease, and noted an increase of rash among the citizens of the domain. Am immediately notifying all depts, bureau heads, staff and staffers and their staff and staffers as well as fam and friends, and those that just came along, to immediately make sure masks have been distributed to all constituency as well as their staff and staffers if they have any at all, and I wouldn’t have that info at hand, as I have not yet heard fr LizK, chief of the Dept of Counting, so don’t have a clue exactly how many constituents I actually have, but am secure in the knowledge, that not knowing is okey dokey for sure, as I am still in Tahiti, enjoying the nice beaches and balmy breezes, and am pretty sure that A wall, not being a wall at all, is not kidnapped, but safe with her first staffer and doing DD, as well, in respect to her position as chief of the Dept of Kool Aide. lol

Food for thot….Sam, why are you copying all my posts? Is it fun? Here’s one more…..

The purpose of government, according to the Constitution itself, is to “promote the general welfare.” Basic income will do just that, directly and efficiently. Most government programs do not promote the general welfare but only the special welfare of specific individuals, groups, businesses, or industries. We can cut or eliminate those programs. Because many programs rely on tax credits and deductions, eliminating them will simplify the tax code and facilitate tax cuts.

The Constitution does not say anything about creating jobs. When everyone has the security of a basic income, our government can focus on its proper and intended roles: protecting individual freedom and national security.

We can afford a basic income of $600 a month for every adult without raising taxes, simply by cutting the government programs it makes superfluous, welfare and corporate welfare and associated bureaucracies. That would reduce poverty by half, at least, according to analyses by Professor Irwin Garfinkle at Columbia University. Reducing poverty means quick and dramatic effects on hunger, homelessness, and associated problems like crime, illegal drugs, and HIV/AIDS.

Most versions of a basic income include only adult citizens; some add a smaller amount for children; and the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend goes to everyone age six months or older. One plan, Citizen Policies, would have everyone give something back to the community through some type of service, eight hours a month; that service would replace some government programs and help pay for the basic income. We can debate those details after the main idea is generally known.

shouldnt we help these people in some way or another.

Sam, U R weird!

You know there is this game I used to play, called Roller Coaster. Anyone ever heard of it? It’s all about “building” a theme park.
There is this roller coaster, in a theme park, which really represents society. You have to balance all the things needed to run the park. You budget money, allocate new rides, open and operate restaurants, and put trash cans, whatever is needed to ensure the park runs smoothly. Anyway, if you don’t add enough trash cans, or restaurants, or whatever is needed to operate the park successfully, you will have problems, like riots and unrest. Being President is much like playing this game….you have to balance the societies problems and create answers to all the issues that arise with the people. You cannot “take” and not give back. There has to be some balance in the two – Giving and taking. Working people and businesses who create jobs, leads to paying taxes, which leads to government growth, and creating an atomosphere where we can all live in a prosperous (not monetarily speaking), safe environment, where as everyone contributes, and everyone prospers. If you don’t contribute, you don’t receive rewards. Our society is one of the best in the world and we all need to appreciate it more. We could be living in Iraq or Iran, maybe Cuba or Africa where there is nothing much to look forward to when you wake up in the morning but desolation and poverty. No matter who is president, I prefer to live here in the good ol “USA”. What about you?

Well, I think Jon Stewart puts it all into perspective…..he includes EVERYBODY!

Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling

Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling past the fly!!

Insults, bias and displeasure

Keeps us scrolling forever past the fly!

carolynro, you are not really a teacher, right? If you were you would know the value of education, and you would have had diversity training, which I see NO evidence of.

OK, I’m flyin out of here!

I think the reason that the President keeps bringing up Fox new is that he wants to make sure that if any of his supporters stumble onto the channel they will already be primed to believe that it’s all biased and false information. He tells them who to distrust, (in his soothing and masked way) and those are the ones who have the most information pointing to the opposite side of his debates.

It’s all very strong powerful mind and thought direction appealing to the masses who want to feel happy and ok, no matter what the cost. People want to believe that he is good and on their side. And he is if you’re of the same mindset. but if you do not agree with his process, then you are merely an insect that needs to quit flying around and being pesty.

Very well said

“Great passion is absolutely apparent, on all subjects, by smart, informed and civil citizens.”

Where are they Gini…..not on this forum for sure! I wish I could find them!

Meanwhile, I’ll move on and you angry people can have your forum to complain and bash our president before he’s had a chance. Fox is only #1 because of the way they sensationalize (and distort) the news, and most people are highly offended by it, but they watch to see what craziness will happen next. You’ll find out in the next election. Meanwhile, I’ll watch “balanced” MSNBC to see what good moderates might emerge. I hope some do because otherwise the Republican party is toast, and I wouldn’t like to see that happen. (really)

What will you do without a troll? I might watch for a while and see….I bet the comments will dry up…..unless you keep it going with your cookie/koolaid nonsense! Let’s see if you can keep me OUT of the conversation! That includes not only referring to me by name, but referring to me at all!

I’m going back to the mainstream where it’s “sane”!

I’d like to say it’s been nice knowing you…….

Is that 40 or 50 times now?

Can you say cry wolf?

chas

We lost count.

Well H-E-double hockey sticks, it was at least 5 times just today.

Promises, promises.

As Cookie Czar, I find I will indeed and can with transparency in all things, put a stamp of approval on Oreo’s, as suggested by Mary, who is in charge, along with Betty {I think?} of the Dept of Transportation, and wanting to keep both happy, as well as their staff and staffers and fam and friends, and all those who just came along, and the dairy farmer as well, as we do love milk, I do so decree, and as I still need a ride home fr Tahiti, tho not at all anxious to leave at all, I would certainly not entertain any notion that I should not please Mary as well as Betty, in all things they might need or might think, are important. lol

Sterling I went to the market to get some fly traps. Is she still talking about others big butts?

Empty promises just like Oflyswatter

That one was posted on one of last Sunday’s threads, Sam. Didn’t know if you saw it, but it was the first time she said she was leaving today.

They have a lot in common… they dont keep their promises.

As Cookie Czar, I would need to contact LizK, chief of the Dept of Counting, to get an accurate count indeed, but have noted the mention of the need to count by other constituents chking in to see what the heck is going on, as I really don’t have time for any of it, being still in Tahiti, but so glad to know that A Wall isn’t a wall at all, but safe w/her first staffer, or so has been reported, I think, or at any rate, mentioned in some memo by some staffers staff at one point or another, but it really doesn’t matter at all, as I am certain I do know tho not specifically certain abt what I might know at any given moment at all. lol

Sterling she said”I’m going back to the mainstream where it’s “sane”!”
Shucks she cannot leave. She would miss us so much

Omrabc’s rants about FOX might just have the opposite affect he is hoping for, might draw even more first time viewers to FNC, just as his rant against Rush Limbaugh has made me a faithful listener.

Sal, as chief of the Dept of Kitchen, {not that you said you would take the post} a memo has been sent to your staff and staffers, that oreo’s have been added and will need to be stamped as approved as well as any other cookies, but not withstanding, of course, any decision you or your staff or staffers might think abt it all, of course. lol

Betty…an observation made earlier of course, and one might hope that those who have not been as informed, might be drawn to look at FOX, and decide they like what they see, after all. lol

Aaaah thanks Gini, I may have missed that earlier as this was a busy scrolling morning for me, busier than usual.

Sam, it has been observed by many that Aly’s is addictive. I would suggest that is definitely true, so there is no surprise at all, that everyone and anyone would come back many times, even if they cannot see that those who do come “regularly” are smart, informed, always civil, and definitely passionate abt their country and all things concerned, including the prez, who, after all is the leader in chg of it all, and would be subject to scrutiny as that is our tradition. lol

Sure I will take the post..No problem Gini.
but for now… I have to go to work,
Have a great day everyone.
be back later.

bye Sal…have a great day. Windy here, but no rain so far. Lovely and sunny! YEA! lol The Cookie Czar will be attentive to any rumblings in the domain, and will contact you immediately if there are any probs, concerning cookies, of course.

Gini such knowledge you have.

Morning Joke

Scarborough has struck out in every category: TV, radio and publishing. His widely-touted The Last Best Hope: Restoring Conservatism and America’s Promise has bombed, selling just 6432 copies since its 9 June release, according to new Bookscan figures. At Amazon, it has already dropped out of the top 100, currently ranked 166.

The problem is that some people will not accept the product of scrutiny.

~~chuckle~~ Sam

Sam,

The misinterpretation of the preamble is understandable with individuals who fail to read the historical events surrounding the Republic. This idea is presented again in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution along with the only powers afforded the Federal Government. None of which, BTW, give the Federal Government the power to take my money and give it to someone else.

However it is with the restriction that the Government is bound by the Clauses of Article 1, Section 8.

To paraphrase Franklin, The Government protects your right to pursue happiness, it’s up to you to catch it.

chas

Olin…acceptance is not requisite. One may scrutinize, whether or not the one who is the object of that scrutiny, accepts it or not. ergo, the complaint. lol

Morning Joe’s MSNBC ratings aren’t exactly something to crow about, either: on Wednesday of this week, the most recent Nielsen ratings your Radio Equalizer could obtain, Scarborough turned in a weak 0.3 household rating, which translates to an average of 277,000 average viewers and just 93,000 in the 25-54 demo.

These numbers don’t lie and the lesson for any budding Morning Joe-types out there is clear: the audience isn’t stupid. They can sniff out a backstabbing weasel with remarkable speed, putting an early end to Scarborough’s transparent get-rich-quick scheme.

http://radioequalizer.blogspot.com/2009/06/msnbc-host-struggles-to-sell-books-and.html

I just wrote a long post on “promote the general welfare.” , but wordpest got hungry.

Sorry Sam, but it happens.

chas

And, by the way, I would gladly trade the 8 days a week that I toil, for 8 hours a month. But not even the couch potatoes will go for that.

And, besides, the government can’t afford me.

John Kerry, at al, have touted the congressional health care plan as the greatest thing since sliced bread. Has anyone examined how much that would cost if every man, woman and child wer included in that plan?

Hi Chas… lol
