Good until 2:40. Then he goes off the rails and starts getting facts wrong. I had to stop watching.

Look at Caribou Barbie nodding along. As if she understands a word that's coming out of his mouth. 

[musclehead]

I don't suppose you'd like to refute what he said as opposed to just saying the facts are wrong?

Iran didn't get selected by the UN ofr the council on women? I seem to recall that they did? 

[Jess from VA]

Articulate, accurate, true. 

[BF]

Must not be Anvil's idea of what it is to be American.

they were elected till dec 2015:


"Next, the Council elected 11 new members to fill an equal number of vacancies on the Commission on the Status of Women for four-year terms beginning at the first meeting of the Commission’s fifty-sixth session in 2011 and expiring at the close of its fifty-ninth session in 2015.  The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia and Zimbabwe were elected from the Group of African States; Iran and Thailand were elected from the Group of Asian States; Estonia and Georgia were elected from the Group of Eastern European States; Jamaica was elected from the Group of Latin American and Caribbean States; and Belgium, Netherlands and Spain were elected from the Group of Western European and Other States."

You're right, I don't really think BS slinging blowhards are what should represent America. Call me crazy.

Please define the BS you think he slung instead of slinging the BS yourself.

There were three things that he said that should send chills up our spines.

1. Our kids (on average) think being a free American means they can do whatever they want.  They love it but they dont understand what being American is so why should they be against a government that promises to make their life even easier?

2.  If the only change is that Obama is no longer the pres NOTHING will change.....I agree...."president" Obama is the tip of a big old ugly submarine that has been running under the surface for a long time.  These people want your freedom, they want your God, they want EVERYTHING We need to take out the whole boat!

3.  The UN is so absurd and Un-American yet we are bowing down to it.  I remember not too many years ago, sitting Presidents and our government was talking about pulling back from the UN because of this.....now we are "ALL IN"

So I cant ride, it hurts to even get out of this chair so Ill just write on a short bit (there is a back button if you dont care about what Im writing)

What it means to me to be American

Well, first off it means that God gave me the fundamental rights I have not men, so men have no authority to take those rights from me!  That we are the greatest nation that ever was, we do the greatest good on the planet (ya, we made mistakes too) but we are the top of the mountain that every peace loving person anywhere should continue to look up to , model after to be free as we are free.  So, what are those rights?

The right to provide for my family with the skills and gifts God has given me, as I see fit, not as a socialist leader tells me I will

The right to defend myself from ANYONE including the socialist leaders

The right to speak my mind, worship my God and raise my family up understanding that only in America have we yielded to God in these matters and its worth fighting for.

The right to be a part of the future of the Nation.  It is an awsome and scary thought...If you really claim to be an American, If you really cherish the God given freedoms you have (including the premise that its GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE), then you really should have no choice but to be willing to take back the government and give it back to the people.  God I hope we are still in the arena of doing that with the ballot, because soon if we dont do it with our vote we will need to do it with our "swords"

Flame me but if all of what I just said to you is BS.....then enjoy your stay in America as long as you can, because I believe everyone that is here as a legal citizen has their right to live as they please, but we wouldnt miss anyone that doesnt love being American enough to defend it; if they chose to go somewhere else, because we should be making America intolerable to those that love socialism, not the other way round

Ya'll have NO IDEA how much self control it's taking me to not quote ChrisJ's quote of Paxton's quote of ChrisJ's quote just so there'd be yet another quote of that quote that needs to be removed...

And yeah... you can quote me on that!

Hahaha you're so funny, did you think of that one all by yourself or did your friends at Project Triangle help you out?

I'll challenge you to point out where I have lied. Have fun with that inspector Gadget.

ok then.  which facts did he get wrong? please be specific.

since i don't personally know "caribou barbie" i can't attest to her intelligence.

all i know is what the media says and i don't believe 95% of what they say, and videos are edited ALL the time. BUT she did become governor, so she said enough for people to elect her to office. so i'm sure she has the smarts to understand what was said.

i understand that you know everything about everything, but most of the time you just sling bullshit.

I already asked Anvil.  Either he's ignoring the question, refuses to answer, or is simply slinging more BS.  I believe it to be the latter.

No, I don't need to rehash that and do your scut work for you. I've done too much of that already. Do it yourself. You don't believe 95% of what the media says? Sure, except for that guy, because he's saying what you WANT to hear, so THAT you believe. 

Again, point out where I have lied. You won't because you can't.

[sugerbear]

you didn't lie




you just throw bullshit.

i'm done with you

Ya' know, I really resent this stuff on a motorcycle forum. I find that right wing people simply can not help themselves and have to go about stuffing their thoughts down our throats. I have not seen lefties do this spontaneously (I am doing it in retaliation). I believe it is due to cognitive dissonance. That is when someone's innate sense of right and wrong is bothering them from deep within their limbic cortex.they are being told that what they are openly espousing is really "not right".....and the cerebral cortex responds by causing them to try to convince others (a hopeless task) when in reality, they are only attempting to keep themselves convinced. To this psychologist, this is NOT the product of a healthy mind. I hope someone reports this and the moderator removes it. Makes ME sick.

You're prefectly welcome to start threads expousing your "lefties" point of view if you want....nothing is stopping you. 

And apparently you've never noticed when other "lefties" start their own threads expousing the left's point of veiw around here......there have been plenty. 

But I'm sorry that you hate us to the point of making yourself "sick", but that's your problem.  We don't hate you to the point that it makes us sick like it does you......we just think you're wrong and misguided. 

Or....would you rather just talk about......

[Chattanooga Mark]

Anvil,

     All you've done is throw an (false) accusation at Dennis and an insult at Sarah. You haven't actually said anything tangible in this thread yet.

You're better than that friend,

... and I find that left wing people are constantly trying to convince themselves they are more intelligent than everyone else. Be insulting... throw in some big words... voila... now you feel all better about yourself.  Seriously though... Not being a smart feller like you, I'm not even sure what a limbic whatchamacallit is ... but what ever it is, I'm pretty certain that the organ from which  your thoughts originated is a good bit farther south than your limbic thingy.

The best thing about this country whats left of it is anyway.

The right to dissagree on almost any topic or idea.
Prager presents a very valid point of view.
Those on one or the other side might never agree with all of his thoughts.
He gives alot of thought before he speaks his view points, agree with him or not.
He is entertaining and makes me think.

A thinking man will at least consider words.
But thats whats wrong here.
When folks do express their views on a motorcycle board.
Some will take it as a personal affront.
I try to always listen to all folks points of views.

Sit an Allan Combs next to a Dennis Praeger and watch the fur fly.
Listen to a Juan Williams and think to yourself.
What world and country does he actually live in??
He really considers himself a journalist 1st??????
Same can be said about a Rush or an O Rielly.

Motorcycle board or not.
I welcome other peoples points of view every where.
Regardless of rules set forth by who ever started this board.
Bikes are what brings us together here in common.
Cant we just agree to disagree amongst ourselves civily please.
Politics and points of view can be very entertaining.
Regardless of where its typed.

Some ride a scooter, some a V-Twin, others even maybe a Honda or 2 here.
I dont care what you ride as long as it has 2 wheels maybe 3 and you have a brain in your head to use to express your opinions civily.

Maybe this type of stuff doesnt belong on a motor cycle board.
Im relatively new here but.
I have the choice to read this stuff.....or not.
I just want to hear both sides points of view.
What ever it may be.
Then make my own judgements.

Except what oil to use...................folks.
Oil threads are more political then any other topic on a bike board.
Bear Fat or Goose grease.
Who cares????
Use what you like.

I look forward to seeing how others feel about the world we are currently stuck in.
Motorcycle board or not...........

Its just words........... Mr Moderators.
They words, cant hurt anyone.
