How did my minion "courage courage" get here?
Send him back to Err America please. My blog is dead without him. He's my only subscriber.

what would it take for you to cut your wrists?
NO! But it is possible for the traitor democrats in the US Senate to be tried as traitors.
Bub-bye!
Must be slow at DUmmyville.
School is still out on vacation, that would be the problem
Yep. It's to be expected with the mush-headed kids home for the holidays from liberal colleges and using Mommy's computer. I've identified two 19 year olds who know all there is to know about the world posting here today...so far. More to come I'm sure, LOL! ;)
Yes, lots of parents at work today but kids still out on break. He should change his name to "grounded grounded".

The history of "Zot".
There are one or two individuals who, for whatever reason, enjoy signing up new accounts here every single day to post leftist drivel. Sometimes they are vanities from DemocraticUnderground. Sometimes they are articles from other far-left sources. Sometimes they are nothing but vile doctored images or profanity laced tirades. Sometimes they are from legitimate sources but happen to strike the eye of the poster as being something that would infuriate conservatives.
The posters in question always post the articles, and then don't reply. They then post other articles, again not replying. This was going on for months. Jim would confirm by looking at the IP addresses and other aspects of the user's 'footprint' that it was the returning troll, and we would nuke the accounts. This went on for months.
Then some of the opportunists who wanted to harm the forum started a whispering campaign, complaining about articles being deleted. They would play off of the fact that the trolls' articles were being pulled to complain that there was some sort of agenda of squelching legitimate conservative postings going on by the moderators.
One day I decided to try something new. I decided, instead of letting the trolls get what they want and have their posts up as flame bait, and instead of pulling the threads outright, I would move their post aside and replace it with something that hopefully others would find humorous. I would do this out in the forum for all to see. The original piece would be available through the history link for the curious, who could see if there was some sort of censorship campaign going on. And the freepers could have fun mocking the troll if they so liked.
It so happens that the way I did it the first time was using a screen shot from Caddyshack, where the pastor gets hit by a lightning bolt. Being a bit of a fan of the comic strip "B.C." I captioned the photo with the lightning bolt sound that Johnny Hart used in his strip- ZOT! That is where the term Zot originated.
Now, sometimes we "zot", and sometimes we simply pull it. It depends on a number of factors, including how busy we are at the time. But whenever you see a Zot, you can be sure that the user was a 'newbie' who was doing their hit-and-run posting, and that if you as a well-established freeper thought the article would have made an interesting discussion, then you could probably post the same piece yourself without incident (although the most vile of the stuff probably would get pulled, and Jim reserves the right to remove anyone who he feels is constantly trying to push leftist propaganda on the forum). Anyway, that is the history and background behind zotting.
He should change his name to "grounded grounded".
LOL! Good one. :)
Looks like the kitties are going to be busy.
First we'd have to be conqueored by France and Germany.
Yup thats going to happen. Me and Zeke and a couple boxes of '00 shells and our shotguns could hold them at bay and likely get them to surrender.
Perhaps we should ping the other two over here too!
On second thought, naw....let's play with our food for a bit.
ZOT!!!!
First Zot of the year?
Sure.
What would be the procedure for doing this?
Put together some protest signs and go play in traffic, and POTUS will be imprisoned within the week. Promise.
"On second thought, naw....let's play with our food for a bit."
I like how you think, LOL! :)
Actually, the best thing Democrats could do is to win an election now and again...of course I realize this would be very difficult for the party of treason. Good old Schumer looked mighty fearful about the treasonous leak of classified documents on televison this weekend. I have no doubt it came from the Democrats who care more for their party and power than they do about our country. How could they believe the American people would care if the Fed listen in on Americans that Al Quada called after 9-11. The Democrats are totally clueless. Someone is going to go to jail for a very long time. It makes the idictments against Scooter look more stupid than ever.
