You can’t control me, and you can’t control the OP or the conversation, so you resort to personal attacks.

Again, are you sure you’re on the right website? You act, attack, and talk like a leftist troll. You have no credibility.

You dismiss me? I have you on “ignore until zotted.”

[G Larry]

LOL!

I’m more conservative than Jim Rob.

I don’t let the unhinged define me.

[Absolutely Nobama]

Ugh. You have officially lost this round with that silly remark.

The Tea Party was pretty much born on FR.

[Absolutely Nobama]

Remind me to never get you mad at me....

I'm a "mutt" or a "mongrel". So what?

One of our closest friends, who is of italian ancestry, refers to some of us that way on occasion. It doesn't bother us a bit. It's true.

The swastika (卐) (Sanskrit: स्वस्तिक) is a symbol that generally takes the form of an equilateral cross, with its four arms bent at 90 degrees.
The earliest archaeological evidence of swastika-shaped ornaments dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization as well as the Mediterranean Classical Antiquity and paleolithic Europe.
Swastikas have also been used in various other ancient civilizations around the world including Turkic, India, Iran, Nepal, China, Japan, Korea and Europe. It remains widely used in Indian religions, specifically in Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism, primarily as a tantric symbol that invokes Lakshmi - the Vedic goddess of wealth, prosperity and auspiciousness.

The word "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit svastika - "su" (meaning "good" or "auspicious") combined with "asti" (meaning "it is"), along with the diminutive suffix "ka." The swastika literally means "it is good." It is a common practice for Hindus to draw Swastika symbol on the doors and entrances to their houses during festivals, which is believed to symbolize an invitation to goddess Lakshmi.[1] The name "sauwastika" is sometimes given to the left-facing arms symbol, which is a mirror image of swastika (卍).

The symbol has a long history in Europe reaching back to antiquity. In modern times, following a brief surge of popularity as a good luck symbol in Western culture, a swastika was adopted as a symbol of the Nazi Party of Germany in 1920, who used the swastika as a symbol of the Aryan race. After Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933, a right-facing 45° rotated swastika was incorporated into the flag of the Nazi Party, which was made the state flag of Germany during the Nazi era. Hence, the swastika has become strongly associated in many western countries with Nazism and related concepts such as antisemitism, hatred, violence, death, and murder, and is now largely stigmatized there due to the changed connotations of the symbol.[3]

The left has worked for 110 years to infiltrate our schools, our press, our democrat party, and other places of power in our country.

More recently, for about 50 years, they have slowly planted their moles in the republican party as well, and that is the reason that congress and the senate are unwilling to stop the destruction of our country by the foreign half-white/half Arab ineligible usurper.

They are on his side.

The few patriots who remain are ridiculed and contradicted at every turn. Their motives are questioned, and the truth of their principles is denied and ignored.

We are in deep trouble, and there are very few who recognize the threat, and more important, who can and will do something about it.

Well said!

stick wikipedia up your backside!

[trisham]

I can understand your embarrassment.

Finger wagging from Will McAvoy (aka Bill O'Reilly)?

The guy from Sorkin's HBO show The Newsroom?

It's an interesting juxtaposition, but no. Bill O'Reilly and Jeff Daniels look a little bit alike, but O'Reilly and Daniels's character on the show don't have much in common.

[trisham]

Your language is deplorable, and your lack of interest in history is equally so.

[dalereed]

That’s my polite language!!!

[trisham]

You have my sympathy.

[TheOldLady]

Sir, you have never once given me the slightest reason to be angry with you. I am not angry with the troll. I simply disagree with someone who is trying to force PC nonsense on you or anyone else.

[right way right]

I doubt Maddcow shaves its legs.

[Absolutely Nobama]

“Democrats never go away.”

Therein lies the problem.

[Absolutely Nobama]

To me, the character of Will McAvoy embodies all that is evil in the arrogant and lazy media, much like BOR.

No arguments here.
