“I rarely partake of tv news any more, even before BHO, to the extent I can’t even remember the last time I watched FNC”
Yeah, I have a hard time watching it anymore either. Especially after all the bogus polls showing Romney winning in a landslide. I might tune in once in a while, but not very often.
Soccer is slow and dull. :-)
I was sick of the soccer bashing (actually I thought you liked it) and deciced to dish out a few retorts. At no point did I do anything that bash an ‘american’ sport (which ironically turns out to be English), so please don’t try to turn this into some Scotsman America-bash.
Happy Birthday by the way, if belatedly (I have been ill this week).
If you are a baseball fan, fine. Personally I think its dull, and that its hypocritical for Americans to criticise it when the two main US sports are stop-start, and take 3-4 hrs to complete. In the case of the NFL, ‘60 minutes’ of action. And that neither sport is known for its incredible physical examples (at least not baseball and the NFL has more overweight players than adonises).
Get over yourself, lassie.
Baseball was invented in 18th C England, called ‘base ball’, and is referenced in Northhanger Abbey. In case you are interested.
Baseball and ‘football’ aren’t?.
Can you please go away and take your thin skin with you?
NO.
Grow up, this is a forum, put me on ignore if you hate me that much.
Coulter’s column may well have been funny. But I’d never read it because Coulter calling herself a conservative is not funny, not at all.
Good luck...soccerbots are worse than Obamabots...
On a related note...we have an 'ignore' button? Where?
I didn’t even know we had an “ignore” button, lol.
LOL
I don’t think we do.
Look, I thought we wuz friends.
I love soccer and sick of the bashing it gets here, and especially on the basis of ignorant argument and knowledge (the socialist argument being the classic and utterly ironic nonsense example). A lot of which simply becomes Brit and Euro bashing.
I am sanding up for it and am firing back at American or Canadian sports I think are rubbish.
People need to learn to tae it as much as they dish it out.
There are plenty of fans of soccer here - why they even spell it “futbol.” Always remember, I don’t think of soccer as a British sport with handsome chaps from Downton Abbey or, better yet, The Go-Between. I think of it as a sport full of undersized Spanish guys biting and faking injuries. I just don’t like it, I also think it I completely un-American, and if I can get an amusing shot in at it, I will. That’s Free Republic!
We would be friends if you would just drop the “irony” thing. Since most your compatriots don’t know the difference between irony and sarcasm, your use of it is rather pointless. Why don’t you link to culture in Great Britain? Food! Plays! Books! Now that’s something to tip your hat to.
Chris Christie, Mitt Romney and Thad Cochran have been promoted by Coulter, but the Tea Party movement and Chris McDaniel have been her most recent critics.
I don't know what's up with her, but she seems to have "jumped the shark" and decided to cozy up to the establishment.
Very, very disappointing.
Coulter is a traitor. Lets just say it. She wants Romney 2016 and now this. She will forever be known as the fraud who defended voter fraud.
Those Fox guys are just ticked that she was right. She does that from time to time.
Sigh, what a disappoint Ann has turned out to be.
