That's what I said.

rant on brother, and yes some of US have went way overboard on the Muslim thing. I have been one of them, but after bakerstreet slapped me around for a few weeks I have stopped to reconsider my position.

BTW very good to see your name even If I do not really know the man behind the screen well at all.

No matter who you are you can consider me a fan for sure.

 

most respectfully,

elie aka MM

rant on brother...speak that truth to power....at least till they kick ya off for a TOU violation that are ignored when someone is spewing the neocon creed or just brown-nosed enough to be included in the ju inner circle.

It's pretty sad when basically good people become so obscenely obsessed with their bias that someone like Deference can so easily show them to be off base. When the village idiot starts being more rational than your wise men, it's time to reassess job descriptions.

I really did not expect replies, nor did I expect to reply, but the showing of some JU crew warrants response.

Hi, Elie.

I'm very glad to hear you alive and kicking. I thought you were a for-sure goner awhile back. I've been very thankful for Bakerstreet's Muslim oriented posts, he provided some enlightenment to those who would otherwise be brow-beaten into accepting the idea all our Muslim neighbours need to be rounded up and subjected to prison camps like the Japanese in WWII era panic. Remember hearing of gas-rationing cards and victory gardens? It's coming again. as one man said,

"History does not repeat itself but often it ryhmes."

Yep, I ranted, sometimes I can't stand the pressure of stupidity and become very undisciplined in what I say. after all, the first priority of JU blogging is personal enjoyment - a priority I've never shirked from.

This man is much more enjoyed then the typed words he offers read from the screen. 'Net anonymity is a must, not that there really is any but some of us give token effort, sorry we've not gotten to know each other properly.

I've always recognied (sp - keyboard is mussed) that treatment at JU is always arbitrated by the hands holding the reigns. If a sysadmin wants to kick, that is their prerogative. It is always up to us to take persuasive action or move on.

Ron Paul was the only reason to watch the Republican Primary debates. Everyone else was on strings. Though I think 'the people' would elect him, (have you noticed the audience response and straw poll numbers?), stronger interests will make certain only the 'pre-approved' candidates will receive print and video exposure. Break open any local or national paper, watch any footage from the major networks - you'll see Dr. Ron marginalied (sp- keyboard issue). Keep the faith or get out of the country. I've chosen the latter.

LW - wish you'd said something, but thanks for making an appearance.

I don't begin to believe I've tightened down any screws on Mr. Wardell. I did just rant. as I often do at JU. .

as for being the village idiot, any time you want some serious debate you can come knocking at this 'idiot's' door - and I guarantee he'll give you a run for your money if he doesn't eat your lunch. Let's just agree on the resolution first.

I do owe an apology to you, you know what for. I apologie. (s to the fuckin' p - damn keyboard)

Good to talk to you all again, I try not to flap my gums at JU as it seems there is more hurt done then good, too much polarity...

all direct correspondence to Def can be done by accessing the email account found under the JU profile. Email not provided in this forum for reasons of spam.


OUT

I appreciate the attribution, but would like some clarification.  Other than agreeing with some of Bush Policies (and defending him when those who have no points only spew hatred of him), where have I been advancing his "neo-con" policies?  I support his policies when I agree with them, and criticize them when I dont.  But I dont have to sink into a hate filled diatribe of the man when I think a policy of his is stupid or insane.

I fail to see how throwing the baby out with the bathwater makes one a better person.

oh, the obsession continues...  

Most folks thought I was a goner too def, but my time was not up, I still have a huge cosmic debt to pay down, so I am glad to have another chance to keep on rolling.

For some reason I do not think Baker was calling you the village idiot, I just cannot see baker doing that to you, if he did it is REAL rude.

I think I will take you up on that email offer, the subject line will contain my name so you know it's me ok? Expect a short one real soon.

Believe me Elie, Baker's got some credit he's still working off.
