re: “What you will find is conservative writers and bloggers that actually do something for the conservative cause will post while other “conservatives” that do little, other than criticize, mock and attack and do what they can to drive the poster from the site.”

I fail to see how posting fake news articles is doing something for the conservative cause, but regardless, if John Semmens wants to do so, he is certainly within his rights to do it, and, it’s my right to express my dislike for that style of writing.

re: “But John caught me twice. If it pisses me off, I immediately go back and check. In all fairness though, I’ve never blamed John for my failings.”

Again, I don’t see the point of posting fake news articles on a forum that is dedicated to discussing hard news articles - that’s why Mr. Semmens “catches” so many people - If my pointing that out makes me “blaming John for my failings” I guess I am guilty.

re: “And yet it provoked you enough to respond!”

Yes, that’s true, but that still doesn’t mean that posting fake news articles for the purpose of fooling people in a hard news political forum isn’t a waste of time.

re: “So, instead of making fun of the left... what did you do?”

I wasn’t making fun of anyone - I didn’t post the article, Mr. Semmens did. I voiced my opinion that I didn’t care for fake news articles.

re: “You are blessed with an intelligent wife!”

I totally agree with you on that one.

I guess as the saying goes, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, I suppose the same holds true for humor.

What I mean by that is that all those who enjoy Mr. Semmens writings should just keep enjoying them, and I’ll just keep on being annoyed by them.

Maybe the problem lies in you being new here and not able to differentiate between Breaking News, Front Page News,
Bloggers & Personal and “hard news articles.”
