JoMar goes completely off the rails[edit]
The Syrian rebels are "mercenaries" of Hillary-Obama.img
Ok, ok. We all know Jomar gets a hard-on just thinking about any dictator, but saying the rebels are mercenaries (i.e. "getting paid for this") by someone is pretty out there. Second what the hell does he mean by "Hillary-Obama"? Did somebody fuse the two or does Hillary not have earned the right to have a last name? Why not a full name for both? I don't even… --★uːʤɱ netlabelist 16:17, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
- JoMar has always struck me as one of the most simple-minded editors over there. Others are stupid, but in a more creative way; Andy and Terry's ways they try to wiggle out of or defend the stupid statements they constantly make comes to mind. Joaquin, on the other hand, just seems to write crap without even understanding what any of it means, then go on and ignore it as if it never happened. Turpis 3:16 (talk) 16:25, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
- Really? I always thought Joaquin wasn't such a bad sort. He sticks to his art and doesn't join in much with the regular two minutes hates. Other than his weird support for dictators, I haven't really seen him perpetrate much idiocy. Nothing to compare with Ken or Ed, or even with Chuckarse when he's off his meds. --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 17:19, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
- Well, supporting Assad, Qaddaffi and Mubarak is pretty extreme/hard to over look. Also, I can't be arsed to go through the archives right now, but he's posted some stuff that screams "crypto-antisemitism." P-Foster Talk ""Santorum is the cream rising to the top."" 17:23, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
- Jeeves, that's just the thing, he doesn't get involved in political topics much, but when he does his views are so naive that I can't help but think he steers clear of them because he really is clueless about them (in the real sense of the word, not the Andy sense). So instead he posts pictures of sculptures and calls them paintings and goes about his business. Turpis 3:16 (talk) 17:31, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
- I must respectfully disagree; Jomar has more in common with AceMcWicked, as a non-American and coming from a country that feels the impact of American foreign policy decisions, yet they don't feel they get the recognition and respect from America they are entitled to as a loyal ally all these years. So Jomar's sniping at US actions is not unlike Ace's, at all. nobsWe Are the 91.6% (still employed)!!! 18:50, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
- Except this doesn't even really involve the US. The US is not engaged in Syria right now (though they obviously favor a certain side here). And Ace doesn't stick up for dictators who kill their own people. Turpis 3:16 (talk) 19:27, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Reading RationalWiki's entry on Joaquín, I was dismayed to learn that he was a professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, home of my beloved soccer team "Pumas", and the alma mater of my father, who is, of all things, a physicist. Not really relevant to anything... just goes to show that idiots come in every language.

- Riiiight, because oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico are never impacted by Hurricanes, Katrina didn't touch Louisiana refineries, and a certain nuclear plant in Japan was immune to the forces of nature. Not that repairing windmills at sea is easy or cheap, but it's a lot better than decontaminating a county. I'd also like to see Andy eating Gulf seafood from 2 summers ago, or eating anything caught around Fukushima right now.

Deconstructing Ken[edit]
My work has been cited by the LA Times, Chicago Tribune, USA Today and other major newspapers...jabber jabber, some un-named scholarsimg. So lets look at this...
- Chicago Tribune: Mentions evolution article, not "cited" as a reliable or particularly good piece of work. Merely mentioned
- LA Times: As we know not a very glowing reference. Not to mention it was followed up by criticism days later.
- USA Today Again no mention of the author and not a glowing review of Ken's work
- Other newspapers: nothing found to support ken's claim he is cited as any sort of authority.
- Other "scholars" and ken's "friends": ShockofGod and NephilimFree. Aside from blog postings, forum postings and places like this there is nothing to suggest Ken is anything other than an creationist internet troll

On the subject of Ken[edit]
Found this from May 2006. The statement "Non-creationist biology is truly a mess" followed by 7 quote-mines to back up his point. At least now we know he's always been an awful writer. --PsyGremlinSermā! 15:38, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
- Nice find. That's so strange—I've always thought writing style was something that you get better at over time. I know my writing style has grown and improved (probably not matured; I love using semi-colons, dashes, ellipses, emphasis techniques and parentheses way too much), even after I left college...it's weird to think that someone doesn't get better at writing the more they do it. Even J.K. Rowling shows vast improvements in technique from Sorcerer's Stone to Deathly Halllows. I guess it just goes to show...-- Seth Peck (talk) 16:35, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
- What you need to remember is that JKR does not publish unproofed material, she has had the benefit of professional writers critiquing and correcting her writing over the years. She will have learned a lot by this, whereas Ken has protected his oeuvres so that they have now become coprolites of the Internet. Генгисevolving 18:32, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
- you can't really compare Ken to a professional writer or a college student though; because they have a reason to get better: grades, money or an interest to do so. Ken isnt being "graded" per-say on what he writes, he certainly isnt being payed (usually) for them; and what he does get payed, if anything, obviously doesn't care what quality it is. So that leaves "a reason to get better" And ken is already sure of himself that he is writing the height of comedy and criticism, So why improve? --il'Dictator Mikal 16:44, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

In other words when he picks up his bible and reads about the Pharisees he takes notes on how they are doing things in order to instruct his own christianisty, not seeming to grasp that they are being given as examples of what not to do.

Andy: Smarter than lamestream scientists[edit]
Oh look, Andy coined a new termimg. Not content with look like an imbecile every time he talks about a news story, now he's going to look like one when he talks about science too.
Silly lamestream scientists. They really wasted their time going to university to study fluid dynamics. Andy knowsimg the true way to do science is just to make up whatever shit you like and thoughtlessly dismiss whatever real scientists come up with.
Incidentally, what is the non-atheistic explanation for Venus slowing down exactly? She had so much to do on Valentine's day that she isn't really feeling up to revolving fast? Lets ask Andy, shall we?
"Atheistic theories of science are, in a word, incorrect.img"
Good answer, Assfly. That really explains it. --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 13:30, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
- I rather liked the "devastated by atheism" bit. However, you're missing Andy's point - he doesn't need to provide a reason of his own, all he needs to do is cast doubt on the current way of thinking. Also countdown to new Example of a Young Earth - Venus is slowing down. If the universe as 14bn years old, Venus would be standing still by now. And 600m years ago, the Moon was orbiting 12 feet above the Earth's surface. This explains the extinction of the dinosaurs. Well, the tall ones anyway. --PsyGremlinFale! 13:56, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
- It's pretty clear that God does stuff like slowing Venus as a test for man's faith. The correct response is "Cool, God." The fail is to look for a reason, aka an "atheistic theory of science." Andy hasn't failed one of these tests yet even though God's pop quizzes are almost daily events now.
If Andru doesn't like science, that's his choice. If Andru doesn't try to understand science, that's his choice. He should recognize how he benefits from it, however. I for one don't understand how the gnomes in the magic box I'm looking at right now paint the images on the screen so fast, and I hate them for it, but at least I appreciate them for doing it.

- Honestly, it is pretty infuriating. Its infuriating because looking for and hypothesizing a naturalistic answer is presented by Andy as ridiculous, even though that is exactly how science works, while just saying “GodDidIt” is supposed to be the more logical answer. Its infuriating because we all have to take time away from doing real science to refute the same lame BS creationists pull out again and again, and we have no choice because if we ignore their stupidity, they will sit there and declare victory and worse, people will believe them. It’s infuriating because Andy paints the hypothesis as stupid because of his own ignorance of Venus’ atmosphere, its air pressure, and the fact the tides and wind on our own planet have the exact same effect (to a much, much smaller degree, such as a millisecond a day). So yeah, I kinda do.--BMcP - Just an astronomy guy 05:31, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

My black helicopter moment[edit]
Ever get the feeling you've just caught a glimpse of the rich old bastard behind the curtain pulling these crazy arseholes' strings? I did when I read Chuckarse's latest.
He's complaining about making a tax break on conservation easements permanent. This, it seems to me, is a very generous policy that amounts to what I might call "double un-taxation" where you get let off the inheritance tax on the land in exchange for contracting not to develop it, and if you ever sell the encumbered land then you're still compensated for loss of market value incurred by your earlier action in the form of a further tax break.
The government wins because it gets to see more land used for agriculture and recreation, the landowner wins because they get tax breaks. Who loses? Nobody. A good deal all round. Except apparently for Throwbottom who says it's (cue satanic chanting) "Agenda 21" in disguise.
But of course he really gets down to the nuts and bolts at the end. It's all "... Due to other policies that the government ought to rescind. Chief among these: the estate and gift tax. The only moral rate for either of those taxes is: Zero!"
Yeah, I think that's pretty much the real agenda behind this "Agenda 21" nonsense. Rich people want less taxes and regulations for themselves. I wonder who is feeding this craziness? It must all come from somewhere. I doubt that the New Jersey Tea Partians are poring over the proceedings of obscure UN committees. Doubtless there's a "foundation" somewhere that hit on this wonderful gem and spoon feeds it to select of their sheep.

- you don't really need a conspiracy to "get" it. Rich people like having money. They like keeping money. They have the power to keep the money. They write laws for themselves. And what's good for the rich in NJ is good for the rich in CA and is good for the rich in France, and is good for the rich in China. funny that, huh?GodotGrow a vagina 18:00, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
- No. The conspiracy, if there's one to be had at all, is in how it is that people like Chuckarse come to be fired up about a law that will never affect him personally for total bullshit reasons. I honestly don't understand how this happens. I suppose it could be innocent kookery, where one particular insane person comes across an obscure fact and invents a whole outrage around it. Another possibility is this is actually an organised campaign by some thinktank or other who aim to get what they want through duplicitous means. It embarrasses me to even say that out loud, but sometimes I have to wonder if it isn't in fact the case. --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 18:13, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
- Hey, he's citing didyouknowonline as a source for his legal conclusions, so he's got to be right. I'm actually not as enamoured of conservation easements as you are, Jeeves. The rich guys basically get favorable tax treatment (the two advantages you mentioned, plus they get a charitable deduction on their income tax returns) in return for not developing the land around their estates and keeping it as green space. ("Recreational use" is mentioned in the law, but as a practical matter, it is possible to avoid making these areas truly open to public use.) Well, what else were they going to do with it, put up trailer parks? Terry's gone off script here: the useful idiot teabaggers aren't supposed to oppose tax breaks for the "producer class."

- I suspect the chief right that gives concern is the restriction in changes in land use, especially concerning intensity of livestock rearing and storage of associated, er, byproducts. For example, you probably couldn't sell the entailed land to a high intensity hog farming consortium. In that respect, my guess he's very much on-script here. --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 18:36, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
- Does anybody have a clue were this general UN-scare is coming from? "OMG, the UN is grabing power over our country!" No, they don't. They aren't. Why would they even?

Countries don't have to participate, nobody is forced into these things… --★uːʤɱ constructivist 18:49, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
- This particular issue (why poor people support conservative laws that will never, ever benefit them and only benefit the rich. I know terry's not poor but he's not super rich either so I'm lumping it in for the sake of this argument) bothered a friend of mine too (it never really stuck in my head as something I'd focus on) and he came up with an explanation (brackets). According to his theory, although people like Terry are not currently affected by tax breaks for the rich and such, they want to be. This whole idea of "land of opportunity" and such gets people living in a half fantasy world where they're convinced, in the future, these laws will apply to them. So they're not right right now, but they will be in the future, and they're effectively planning ahead or they're so lost in these fantasies (not in a literal delusional sense but they're so used to imagining themselves as rich that their instinctive response is to act as if they are in these circumstances) that they act as if the laws already do affect them.
- I'm not sure I agree with that theory, but there's a seed of an idea in there that I can get behind. It's always somewhat confused me how conservative groups can get the support of people who are, by many definitions, poor, when they're talking about tax breaks and tax laws that will only affect the richest people in the country. Which is what I think Jeeves is talking about. X Stickman (talk) 18:59, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

The latest Republican Primary Polls Are In[edit]
Yes folks, the all-important Schlaflyimg/PIDOOMA poll results are in!
Now in fourth place, Rick "Frothy Mix" Santorum, who has ceased to be a stalking horse for Mitt Romney.
Still in first place... a guy who isn't even running. MDB (talk) 17:39, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
- Wow. Santorum is more likely than Sarah Palin. You know, he could make a case for Bush being #3 at this point. Right now it's a two man race between Romney and Santorum, and it looks like the only way one of them won't win is with a brokered convention, in which case you could argue that Jeb might be the most likely candidate to come out of that scenario. But if he's third he's a very distance third. I know Andy is hesitant to drop he's buddy Newt down any lower, but he needs to realize that Santorum is at worst #2 right now. Turpis 3:16 (talk) 17:59, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

- Yeah, Obama's not even that good of a debater, but against Santorum it would be a cakewalk.--talk 23:38, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
- We should be careful in making these sorts of predictions. Santorum (or whoever) will have the full backing of a massive political machine in order to perform in the debates. McCain's simplistic Joe the Plumber stuff did not appeal to me, or perhaps to many of my education level or upbringing, but it was an extremely successful line that McCain was able use to appeal to people who are less likely to think critically. I have no doubt that come debate time, the republican candidate will have a simple and effective strategy to deal with Obama. Remember how everyone thought Sarah Palin would get eaten up in a debate with Biden, but as I recall, the polls afterwards indicated that the public thought it was close. Ditto for GWB against Kerry. DamoHi 00:27, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, but Santorum believes that there should be no contraception at all, anywhere, anyway. He's a reject from the 16th Century. He's going to have his ass spanked.Darkmind1970 (talk) 00:55, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
- Don't assume he's stupid enough to actually say that crap on a national stage. I know the honest conservative narrative, but he's also a politician.

- We should be careful in making these sorts of predictions. Santorum (or whoever) will have the full backing of a massive political machine in order to perform in the debates. McCain's simplistic Joe the Plumber stuff did not appeal to me, or perhaps to many of my education level or upbringing, but it was an extremely successful line that McCain was able use to appeal to people who are less likely to think critically. I have no doubt that come debate time, the republican candidate will have a simple and effective strategy to deal with Obama. Remember how everyone thought Sarah Palin would get eaten up in a debate with Biden, but as I recall, the polls afterwards indicated that the public thought it was close. Ditto for GWB against Kerry.

Santorum and charitableness[edit]
Any word from Andy or commentators about recent revelations that Rick Santorum, the most ardently Christian person in the GOP race, is also the least charitable by a wide margin? 2.2% of his income in charity vs. Obama's 14.2% and Romney's 13.8% (the latter mostly from tithing).--talk 02:57, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

"oooh, NO ONE at USA Today talked about how much Jeremy Lin LURVES Jesus. Liberals!" and so on. I do think we ought to build a hospital (St. Sebastian's) where we recruit children to gaydom and refuse to allow straight people to see their spouses.

GayGator (talk) 16:18, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
- The problem is that the government calls a union "marriage", when it's not. Marriage is something that happens in a church; a secular government-issued piece of paper is a union. As an NJ resident, I hope Christie is happy that he just spit in the face of 10% to 15% of the states population so that he can be a strong VP candidate for Romney. He is a self-serving prick.

I'm wondering if Christie is being shrewd here in an effort to have his cake and eat it too. His response to this has been "you want gay marriage? Put it to the voters." Well, I believe polls show in New Jersey it might well pass (though the anti- side will likely have a better ground organization and more money). And if the voters do support it in the end, Christie will sort of have to sign it, or he'll have to face that his "put it to the voters" stance was a cheap ploy. In such a case, he can say to conservatives "yeah, I signed it, but only after promising I'd support the will of the voters" helping him save some face there. To the other side he'll look like a good guy for being the only Republican governor to sign such a law. Could be a win/win for him. Or it could be a lose/lose, if the conservatives don't think the will of the populace is a good enough reason to sign such a law, and if the other side still condemn him for his initial veto. But I think this might be a clever move, though, should he eventually sign it, it might doom his chance for a Presidential run in 2016. Turpis 3:16 (talk) 16:27, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
- It may appear to be shrewd election-year politics for Christie, because it gives the appearance of Conservative credibility while he's being considered as a VP candidate and party leader. If it passes in a referendum, it also allows him to say, "Hey, this was the will of the people - what can I do?". Unfortunately, he really just comes off like George Wallace in the 1960's saying, "Hey, if black people deserve rights then it's up to the white voters to give it to them, not me". Like Rick Perry, he's more popular with conservative strangers from other states than with the residents who know him better. He'd never make it in the big leagues. --DinsdaleP (talk) 19:49, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

- Romney seems like he might be an ideal compliment to Santorum, but I have a different theory. Santorum is polling very badly among one of the most important demographics: women.

- One of them, sure, but I wouldn't call her the #1 or #2. In any case, the question Rob posited was which candidate her endorsement would make the most difference for. Considering there are plenty of Republicans who still for some reason think she's all that and a bag of chips, her endorsement could be quite meaningful. Should Romney somehow get it (he won't, until he has the thing sewn up) it could help him among the voters he's had the most trouble connecting with. In the general election it'll be meaningless, and she won't be on the ticket. Turpis 3:16 (talk) 06:19, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

- Of course. I don't think anyone's arguing that Palin stands a chance, not even Rob (are you Rob?), even as a VP candidate. The topic sort of shifted to whether she has any standing in conservative ranks and of her endorsement would mean anything. I think it's pretty clear that she still has a fair amount of support among the wingnut branch of the GOP (which is not an inconsiderable proportion), but it's not what it was. She was a flavor of the week, in a way and is less relevant every day, in my view, but she still has some influence. She'll likely endorse Santorum, but it won't make much of a difference because her lackeys already support either him or Newt already. Turpis 3:16 (talk) 07:22, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
- Likely scenario: she'll hold out til it becomes obvious one candidate or other is inevitable, then cut a deal. Her public endorsement before the convention, in exchange for a speaking role at the convention. If she held out endlessly, and the unlikelihood of a brokered convention ensued, she'd become just another of dozens of prominent figures the GOP faithful would disinherit for not having the balls to stand up when an important decision needed to be made.

- Here's the thing about Palin. She was one of the biggest names in the Republican party for a while, and milked that for all it was worth. Then election season came around, and when it was clear she wasn't going to be a candidate her popularity waned as the spotlight centered on people who were actually running. Now, when you're the political version of a Kardashian, someone with no real talent but who is simply famous for being famous, you can't let your fame slide, as that's all you have. So now she's trying to seem relevant again, but it isn't working too well. As long as there's talk of a brokered convention her name will be spoken here and there, though no one thinks she stands a chance of coming out of the convention with the nomination. But it gets her name mentioned in a press which is quickly forgetting about her, and is seeing her as more and more irrelevant, so she takes what she can get. When they talk about VPs they'll mention her name here and there again, but no one will seriously consider putting her on the ticket. Turpis 3:16 (talk) 22:14, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
- My wife, who really was a hockey mom when she lived in Oregon, calls La Palin a useless, brainless fuckwit. Which is milder than it used to be.

- If the opinion polls pre-primary season were anything to go by, the only thing Palin could have been a rallying point for would have been an "anyone but Palin" movement.

Her public endorsement before the convention, in exchange for a speaking role at the convention.

- Of course. I don't think anyone's arguing that Palin stands a chance, not even Rob (are you Rob?), even as a VP candidate. The topic sort of shifted to whether she has any standing in conservative ranks and of her endorsement would mean anything. I think it's pretty clear that she still has a fair amount of support among the wingnut branch of the GOP (which is not an inconsiderable proportion), but it's not what it was. She was a flavor of the week, in a way and is less relevant every day, in my view, but she still has some influence. She'll likely endorse Santorum, but it won't make much of a difference because her lackeys already support either him or Newt already. Turpis 3:16 (talk) 07:22, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
- Do I think Palin's endorsement would help a candidate? Yes, at least among the social conservatives. However Andy's original post isn't about how helpful a Palin endorsement is; his post is the chance Palin herself would be the nominee. That is what makes it so mind-boggling.--BMcP - Just an astronomy guy 07:08, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
- One of them, sure, but I wouldn't call her the #1 or #2. In any case, the question Rob posited was which candidate her endorsement would make the most difference for. Considering there are plenty of Republicans who still for some reason think she's all that and a bag of chips, her endorsement could be quite meaningful. Should Romney somehow get it (he won't, until he has the thing sewn up) it could help him among the voters he's had the most trouble connecting with. In the general election it'll be meaningless, and she won't be on the ticket. Turpis 3:16 (talk) 06:19, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
Actually I have about as much regard for Palin as Barack Obama. The two really are very similar. They're about the same age, which means they are not of the Vietnam generation. They haven't seen the country at war with itself. The came of age in the 80s, so the Recession of 2008 is really the first big economic setback they've experienced. I've often said the '73 and '79 Recessions made me the person I am today, but they were just kids. The two are fabulous speakers, and have fanatical, cultlike followings. They're also naive, simplistic in outlook, hard partisans, inexperienced. Neither one seems to have developed a political outlook on their own, but were brainwashed in the households they grew up in. Both their careers owe more to identity politics than solid accomplishments, a purpose, merit or ambition of their own. nobsWe Are the 91.6% (still employed)!!! 11:07, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Mark Felt's role in Watergate was peripheral, at best. He didn't even work in the White House. He spoke to two Post reporters covering Watergate, but the information he gave related more to the case against John Mitchell and wp:Maurice Stans.
What's odd in all this is, Woodward & Bernstein said for forty years they'd give up the identity of Deep Throat after he died; then suddenly one day before the Democratic primaries of 2008 (after, incidentally, Bernstein trashed Hillary, the presumptive nominee, in a series particles) Voila! Mystery Revealed before the man's death. Why? Felt was convicted of violating the civil rights of Jennifer Dohrn, cp:Bernardine Dohrn's sister and wife of cp:Bill Ayers by breaking into her apartment without a search warrant trying to find information on the the Pentagon bombers.
What does this all prove? Woodward & Bernstein have been working with the wp:Weather Underground to topple the United States Government for forty years and replace it with Ayers & Dohrn's hand picked successor, Barack Obama. nobsWe Are the 91.6% (still employed)!!! 20:54, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

- No, I'm serious. This is how historical narrative gets written (the big blank track between 1973 & 1995 can be filed up with excerpts from Fugitive Days & Dreams from My Father). And there seems to have been some contact between Woodward and Felt before outing, probably as a way to maximize publicity for Felt's book. Footnote: As there is some controversy Felt may have exaggerated his role, as a way to promote a book, as a way to maximize an inheritance for his children, with Woodward's help, which is a way that helps maintain the confidentiality of other sources, weasels, rats, and snitches, which is why some claim Deep Throat was a composite character.

Okay, Washington was a great man, the Father of Our Country, etc etc etc. And he did give up a lot.
But sacrificed "all"? Sorry, no. First, sacrificing "all" for your country generally refers to dying in it's service, which Washington did not do. Even putting that definition aside, he died a wealthy man --his estate was estimated at being worth $1 million at the time. And he's pretty much the most respected of the Presidents.
And then, of course, JPatt goes on to assert that "A failure to honor Washington is a win for liberalism. So, liberals hate Washington? Huh? True, we do avoid the near ancestor-worship that conservatives heap on ol' George and the rest of the founders -- we do things that point out he owned slaves, and I've heard it argued he wasn't as great a general as the myth presents him as. But I've not heard anyone saying that we should, oh, tear down the Washington Monument or some such.
In other words, JPatt is an idiot. But we knew that already. MDB (talk) 13:27, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

- Well, he did give up a cushy (albeit incompetent) position as a general in the British army, to lead a rag tag bunch of rebels against the British and thus face execution for treason. His record in the war wasn't great (and the less said about his record in the French and Indian war, the better - Fort Necessity, anybody?), although he did win the battle that mattered, albeit with the help of the French. He was probably better at rallying the troops than actual military strategy. Countdown to Jpatt's head exploding in 3... 2... --PsyGremlinKhuluma! 13:53, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

- Silly JPatt, you can't outcrazy the boss when it comes to anything, including Washington's birthday. Remember, Andy held that President's Day was an example of the secularization of language, that George Washington was a SAINT (perhaps of the Church of Satan!) and atheistic liberals try downplay his recordimg. That last thing is why the US doesn't honor Washington at all.... except for naming the capital after him, a state after him, a giant monument in the capital named after him, putting his face on Mt. Rushmore, having his face on the dollar AND quarter, frequently ranking as greatest president (or in the top 5), named several cities, colleges, universities, counties after him.... but we don't celebrate his birthday! --Night Jaguar (talk) 16:24, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

But let's look at PsyGremlin's argument: Washington was a half-wit commander who should have freed his slaves. Ok. So he free's his slaves, destroy's his business in doing so (Washington remains the richest President ever, adjusted for inflation) can't afford to raise an army at his own expense to fight the British, the British win, and we all (like South African's & kiwis) remain slaves of the Queen. What a tradeoff. nobsWe Are the 91.6% (still employed)!!! 21:44, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
- Rob, you really need to get over your kiwi hatred. Kiwis are either cute, delicious, or FUCKING AWESOME. Sparky! I forgot to put something here, as you can see.
- Really, Rob? You're arguing against freeing slaves? Really? Anyway, Washington had slaves long after the revolutionary war was already won. He could have freed them then. And why didn't he attempt to end slavery as President of the United States? Also, by your logic, I guess by freeing them in his will (after Martha died) he was a job destroyer. There's so much more wrong, but I'll stop there. --Night Jaguar (talk) 22:02, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
- The slaves of the Queen thing had me in stitches. Washington's namesake may have had a throne and a crown, but the Americans weren't his slaves by anyone's estimation, and the same certainly applies to his descendants. Parliament was sovereign by this point, but as we've covered previously the American "revolution" made no substantial difference there, it just meant a different bunch of rich white men were running things. 82.69.171.94 (talk) 22:41, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, it would have been terrible to be a "slave to the Queen". Washington probably knew some people who could have told him how horrible it was to be owned by another person. --Night Jaguar (talk) 22:53, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
- Great idea Rob, counter the GW had slaves with "slaves to the Queen". It'd work beautifully except for the fact that we outlawed slavery way before you lot, with Royal Assent no less.

- Well, they did discuss it in formulating te Declaration of Independence. In a long list of particulars of King George removing colonial settlers rights (i.e making them slaves) and making them slaves, one of King George's sins was engaging in the slave trade.

- Pedantic point: Mason and Dixon weren't Senators, they were surveyors. In fact, they couldn't have been Senators, since they surveyed the border prior to the revolution. It's the border between Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware (and West Virginia today, but that state didn't exist.) Slavery really had nothing to do with the line at the time.

- That's right. What unstated here, and a matter of interpretive history, is the underlying racist sentiment that both slaveholders, and colonists above (what later became) the Mason-Dixon line, blamed King George for bringing black Africans to American shores for economic exploitation. A consensus majority, north and south, may not have liked it at the time, and most probably wanted to stop the growth in numbers of African slaves brought to America (perhaps because they were racist, or other reasons), but regarded the British ships unloading slaves for sale as a large part of the problem of being part of a political system (the British Empire) in which they had no rights, (or themselves becoming slaves). nobsWe Are the 91.6% (still employed)!!! 04:03, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Case in Point: About may of this year, while others on this page indulged their obsession with their fear of Palin presidency, I alone (it's a matter of record in these Archives), ahead of media reports, etc., came here & told you against the countervailing wisdom, that Plain would not run. This is a matter of record. Now, in an above thread discussion on Palin, someone is trying to convince me' that Palin is not going to run.
Sooo, my fingers are close to pulse and heartbeat of America, at least GOP America. Remember when Obama-commies tried to convince us America was nolonger a center-right nation? In your wetdreams.

We've had 19 Republican Presidents, and only 8 Democrats. And one BIG explanation the past 160+ years is the utter intolerance, and explicit disdain for political opposition expressed by left-leaning assholes such as are common in a discussion forum like this.

You think for instant they regard your ideology a fair, or just, in any regard? Go ahead, live on in conceit, self deceit.

- So, when rationalwikians were saying Palin wouldn't run while you were still saying she as a "strong contender", that's because our observational skills ain't worth a fuck? When we noticed Bachmann was crazy as a loon and made her our presidential pick, you'd flip-flopped from "president Palin" and were seriously touting "president Bachmann" because you're so in touch with the common man. Well, don't keep us in suspense, o prophet Nobbykins. Who's going to be the Republican nominee? I reckon it's going to be Romney, but I'm just a blinkered liberal. I'm sure you can help me out with your common wisdom. --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 03:50, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
- Santorum. But I'll be as proud as the day I voted for Ronaldus Magnus pulling the lever for either Santorum or Gingrich. Romney's ok, but just another Bush I or II, really. Could do more harm to the party than good like those two idiots. But I know, Democrats don't give a fuck whether a GOP or Democratic President does any good for the countgry or the goddamn planet for that matter, it's what they do for their party that ultimately tghey are judged. nobsWe Are the 91.6% (still employed)!!! 04:02, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
- Not Jeb Bush then? The dear leader will be disappointed. So how did you come to overlook the frothy mixture in your deep deliberations on the subject in the past year? It's funny how now he's the designated not-Romney of the week, suddenly your highly trained analytical mind suggest he'll be the one isn't it? Would that be because he's fucking unelectable like all the other not-Romneys? Anyway, we'll remember you said that once it becomes clear you're wrong yet again. --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 04:09, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm sure they'll take you in and make you and your wonderful ideas feel right at home! Bye, Ken! Don't forget to visit us dummies once in a while! RachelW (talk) 05:14, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Oh my god, is Rob really Leaving and never coming back? And are we really going to call him Ken from now on? Cause we all know he's not going to leave, and I would absolutely love it if we had our own Ken Jr. to fuck around with. Tesformes (talk) 05:20, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
- HEY GUYS! We all know that popular vote is the best way to decide the fate of minorities, and Rob's a minority of one if I ever saw one! I'm taking a vote in the Saloon, drop in if you think Rob should be declared Ken-by-proxy, or if you're afraid having two Kendolls will only make them powerful than we could possibly imagine.

Poor Ken, he thought he finally found a fellow RINO to spend his life with, but it turns out even a rhinoceros can tell when an H is missing. RachelW (talk) 22:21, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
