JohnO Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I am certain that, well, I certainly hope, the above is hyperbole. That doesn't make it any less of a ridiculous statement. Do you really expect to be taken seriously after making such a pronouncement?What? Did I miss a big story about everyone hopping back on boats and being welcomed back to the homes of their ancestors? Everything I read here makes it sound like the place to live. Seriously(???) why aren't people moving back if it's so great?? By the way my people were starved out by those people of whom you seem so fond. Here the Washington Post, a known agent of the radical leftist agendaOn that we do agree!

I would in a heartbeat if the right employment opportunity (or if I solved the mystery of Oak Island) presented itself. Do you truly think Europe is a hellhole? Have you been?

Does it really matter if your not from there if you believe they have something superior that you desire? After all that's why our ancestors came here in the first place. Do you read what people post? Ever?I don't think I missed anything significant but I could be wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ih8music Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Only once and I wasn't impressed. Though I might give Italy a shot one of these days.So you condemn an entire continent as a "hellhole" based on one visit. That's logical. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doug C Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Everytime I press multi-quote (for years) nothing happens, so this will be lacking in aesthetics but here goes: Posted Today, 12:42 PMJohnO, on 26 January 2010 - 12:27 PM, said:"There's a reason our ancestors left Europe and I don't see many of us signing up to immigrate back to that hell hole."dcarter replied:"I am certain that, well, I certainly hope, the above is hyperbole. That doesn't make it any less of a ridiculous statement. Do you really expect to be taken seriously after making such a pronouncement?" JohnO replied:"What? Did I miss a big story about everyone hopping back on boats and being welcomed back to the homes of their ancestors? Everything I read here makes it sound like the place to live. Seriously(???) why aren't people moving back if it's so great??" Huh? Again I ask, do you really expect to be taken seriously when you make statements such as likening Europe to a 'hell hole'? That is laughable and therefore makes me want to ignore anything that you say. Based on your one trip to the continent of Europe, you choose to describe it as a 'hell hole'. I have been in many European countries/cities/villages, some more than once, over a 23 year period. I have yet to encounter anything that remotely resembles a 'hell hole' (from dictionary.com: '1. a place totally lacking in comfort, cleanliness, order, etc.2. a place or establishment noted for its illegal or immoral practices.' These definitions are, in my opinion, charitable to you. I'd bet that most folks would mean something far worse when they use 'hell hole'. Haiti, for example.) Do you seriously feel that the above definitions apply to Europe? If so, then I can't take you seriously. And that has nothing to do with your political views (I respect other points of view and also agree with some of your stances). If it is hyperbole, as I previously stated, then I can't take you seriously if you choose to make such a knowingly ridiculous exaggeration. There is having a reasoned discussion/debate on issues,and then there is, for lack of a better way to phrase it, talking out of your ass and expecting someone to see it as more than novelty. As Barbara Bush said to Al Franken, 'I'm through with you'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JohnO Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 So you condemn an entire continent as a "hellhole" based on one visit. That's logical.No I condemn it for being directly responsible for the deaths of 100's of thousands of Americans over the past century, consuming trillions of dollars of our wealth and thumbing their collective noses at us in gratitude. They have nothing I want and the communists and facists they nurtured still exist there awaiting their next opportunity. Screw them, I'll spend my hard earned money here thanks.

futureage1 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 “Although the freeze would shave no more than $15 billion off next year's budget -- barely denting a deficit projected to exceed $1 trillion for the third year in a row…” Yup he’s mad as hell and isn’t going to take it anymore! At that rate, not accounting for inflation, it will take roughly 73 years to balance the budget. And that’s change we can believe in? Seeing as how he isn't submitting any legislation to back this up is he going to form a committee for recommendations or punt it over to Congress like he did with Healthcare in order to maintain plausible deniability when ultimately it goes no where? Is that not the Tea Party Platform? I know they also want to dismantle "entitlements", but sit back Obama is appointing a task force to gut SS. If you haven't watched the propaganda piece "IOU USA" then take a look at it sometime. It was funded by Wall St. billionaire, former CFR president and Rockefeller foundation trustee Peter G. Peterson. The drum beat about the deficit has been carefully orchestrated for simpletons like you to reach the conclusions they have. The Tea Party at one time was useful when it was the Ron Paul Libertarian crowd, but that ship has sailed when Dick Army and Newt Gingrich were allowed to speak at various rallies and Ron Paul was not. Palin supported the bailouts and still supports our illegal occupations in the mideast. To still be complaining about the agenda when this is basically the platform you want just shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the charade in general and you come off naive and foolish. Do I like Obama? Hardly and have been blasted on numerous message boards,including this one, for seeing through him from day 1, where I differ is identifying who the enemy is. Keep luring the gullible into the divide and conquer trap. Do I agree with the board here about the Tea Party? No,I know the majority are well meaning people that have been duped just as bad as those "liberals" and "progressives" who still support Obama. The same money and forces behind Obama are now funding the Tea Party. It's a giant farce. But it's pathetic that so many Americans make generalizations about entire groups of fellow citizens----especially those who get up off the couch to actually try to do something about the problems in this country. The only way we will ever get real change is for us to come together in numbers too big for Congress to ignore. We can put aside our differences and get together in the many areas in which we have similar interests or we will get no change at all. There has been a divide and conquer trap set for Americans by the media and large interests taking our country apart and you have walked right into that trap. Comments like yours play right into this and make it worse. So if you are a citizen of good will who wants positive change, you are your own worst enemy and do a disservice to all Americans. Any time any group of citizens (and there were many Tea Party groups) gets up and mobilizes to do something, they will be undermined and vilified by the entire status quo structure (and the status quo corporate media will help by running, showing over and over photos of the most ignorant elements of the movement and the few nuts who showed up with racist signs). This finally culminates in the said group either being derailed by bad press or taken over with corporatist puppets like Army and Gingrich, who gut the grass roots agenda, and steer it back to the status quo. This has now happened to the Tea Party and it is already breaking apart. This should be a fun read. But I take it as a positive sign that many in that movement realize it has been hijacked. Maybe it's time for you to wake up too. 1: Grassroots organizations are NOT run by FOR PROFIT GROUPS/INDIVIDUALS Especially shyster lawyers who see golden opportunities to make $$$$$$ (The self proclaimed TNP founder Tennessee trial lawyer Judson Phillips) 2:Grassroots organization do NOT pay speakers $100K [Palin] and anyone who supports "grassroots" organizations wouldn't DREAM of asking for $$$$$$$$$$$$ to speak at a gathering. Another former TPN member comes forward: Boycott National Tea Party Convention- January 18, 2010 Looks like another former member of the Tea Party Nation has come forward, this time calling for a boycott. Like so many others, Shane Brooks was banned from Tea Party Nation’s website for offering an opposing viewpoint, and today yesterday he published a very revealing exchange with Sherry Phillips, wife of Tea Party Nation President Judson Phillips. Portions of note from Sherry: Your membership was suspended yesterday based on your threats toward TPN (TPN is in my “crosshairs”) and encouraging TPN members to move to another site (GOOOH). Judson was disappointed that we had to suspend you as he said you contributed a lot of great information to TPN and our instant survivalist group. Instead of quenching the thirst for freedom, the TPN leadership is attempting to squash members’ attempt at freedom. To be honest, I’m not at all surprised. I personally experienced this kind of “freedom” of thought and opinion displayed by the Tea Party Nation leadership beginning the day Judson announced he was the sole owner of Tea Party Nation http://superkev.net/2010/01/18/another-former-tpn-member-comes-forward-boycott-national-tea-party-convention/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
futureage1 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I can support some of Ron Paul's stances but not the official Tea Party farce... State of the Republic Address Part 1 of 3 State of the Republic Address Part 2 of 3 State of the Republic Address Part 3 of 3 Notice the part about stopping the war and interventionist foreign policy.

It's a good thing the United States never needlessly nuked Japanese cities to intimidate the Soviet Union or killed hundres of thousands in war - and I'm even more glad our nation didn't execute a cultural (and, you know, partly actual) genocide on its indigenous populations, otherwise the good ol' U.S. of A. might incur the selectively-applied wrath of JohnO!

Obviously, of course, but sarcasm's hyperbole knows no bounds. Either way, our numbers for that alone tallied in the 100,000s, which I think is the same number JohnO despises Europe (excepting Switzerland - funny, that) for.
