Sir
I mean this as a compliment, please don’t take it any other way
In the past few days you have shown yourself to be a voice of reason and rational thought when you normally present yourself as a “Wild and Crazy guy” that would “Hit” the unhittable.
Your thoughts on the eastforker/humblegunner and other threads do much for this forum in ways diffenerent from your usual irreverent musings. You add many dimensions to the forum and I appreciate every one as I am sure others do.
Thanks much

Probably right...
13?. Hit it like bass drum?
Oh, and what am I, chopped livah?
All your base are belong to us....
Amen. Integrity. Things should run their course. Let value rule.
I'm tired for a while. This thread marks my (very temporary) cessation on those efforts.
I need to fill myself back up. I need to get my own spiritual self rested.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR KIND WORDS!
But don't blame some innocent anecdotal observations for increased suicides, internecine warfare, 'postal' incidents, etc !
Speaking of, that thread's rapidly becoming a textbook CF, as your pings have prolly shown.
oh well, nobody gets out alive anyway !
Rest and please continue
Thanks for your dedication

If he hadn't, we'd have noticed the sellout. He'd suddenly be all on the MR bandwagon, for example, or ban those that talked trash about Karl Rove.
Thank you...as a confirmed Freepaholic, I can appreciate these traditions. I don’t like to see us fighting one another...I’ve been a Freeper since the Clinton Mess, and intend to continue. It’s my one-stop shop for news and commentary.
Great job Laz.
Good Lord.
Very good....and #1 is so very important, IMO.
Blessed are the peacemakers, and you’re one of those, Laz.
God bless you...we love you.
It’s a real picture, taken a few days ago by a German documentary crew....
“We were going to do a caption contest out of this image, but unfortunately this is not funny. It is tragic. Many people will lose all their money, savings, livelihood, and more because of this...
What is it? It is a picture taken at the Athens ministry of finance.
It is part of a full documentary (go to 24 minutes in for the lack of money shot) released a few days ago by German TV station ZDF called The Greek Lie. It is self-explanatory, and shows where 2 years of bailout funds went, or rather didn’t, and why 2 years to the day after the first bailout, not only is Greece not fixed, but is days away from leaving the Eurozone, but at a cost to taxpayers of nearly half a trillion.
We urge anyone, even non-German speakers, to set aside 45 minutes and view the clip below. It is unsettling at best.”

How much money did Greece get in loans? Tyler Durden has an article suggesting that Greece may go bankrupt TOMORROW. It is the Greek CDS swap hedges that sent JPM Chase reeling, IIRC.
I notice there are very few articles being posted about MONEY and FINANCE on FR. We are in really bad, bad financial trouble, and we’re talking about gayness and race?
I still get a lot of laughs from the insightful, wicked humor on FR. Libtards are the ones with no sense of humor. There are certainly those around here that need to learn how to tactfully critque the views of other while not belittling or attacking them. Critique the idea; do not attack a fellow Freeper . . . unless of course they are a troll.
One of the main premises I have is that Liberals are the real haters. We Freepers should operate with that in mind and distinguish ourselves in the quality of our opinions and analysis. WE are the ideology of morality,fact and reason, not emotion and deceit. Our ideas and principles are bigger than one person, one Presidential nominee and one election. More flies are caught with honey than with salt. A salesman does not close a deal on a prospect by being abrasive against the person he is trying to sell.
Thank you Laz for starting this discussion.
