Beautiful stuff Jay.

Holy christ you suck


This Forum is an abortion that should of been coat hanger'd years ago.

Actually that is quite beautiful to see.

Chills man, fucking chills.

Nice video Jay Duck.

Too bad they can't act that way when they lose.

You mean like you have, with your incessant sniping, whining and condescension? Fuck off, TT in VA.

I was just going to ignore this, but consider me trolled. I more or less try and engage in reasonable discussion, debate, and provide some humor here and there. I do my best to be respectful, author posts as if I am speaking to the person directly across from me. While I'm not perfect, I rarely engage in vitriolic name calling, insults, ridicule or what many of you describe of as "smack". Which coincidentally appears to me to be "sniping" and "condescension" and something you're quite adept at.

Was that final statement a snipe ? No it was not. I stand by that statement. It wasn't cloaked in anything. I expressed my opinion on the piece. Powerful, moving, patriotic, and gives a sense of unity. Then I wondered why we only see that from those folks when they win. I am stating my opinion formed by observing events that have transpired in my adult life.

Growing up playing sports I was always raised to win and lose with dignity and class. I value that. It's a standard I respect and try - albeit sometimes I fail - to uphold. I'm not "bitter" about Obama's victory. I am hopeful, yet wary. I can't deny the magnitude of what occurred and that it is a testimony to this great nation of ours we call home. It's beautiful.

So was the victory of "rule of law" in 2000. I didn't see anyone celebrating that on the losing side.
So was John Kerry's noble concession in 2004, I didn't see anyone celebrating and joining hands in celebration.

If you have a different perception of those events, and draw a different conclusion that me. I respect that. My intent was not to condescend but to observe and comment. I really, really, wish we could have been more unified over the past eight years. Somehow I think our situation wouldn't be as dire as it is right now if we were.

No amount of insults, ridicule, "smack", or condescending to me will change that. I value Hope, Change, and Unity just as much as those who have won the election. So do Republicans. They just don't get painted in that light. I think that's sad.

Good day Sir.

Tom, you do an awesome job here. Don't let goobs tell you otherwise.

Tom,

You're a confirmed contrarian. Were you born in 5th century Athens, I have no doubt you would have been forced to drink Hemlock.

Sheesh... you should've dispensed with all the frivolous niceties and just told him to go fuck himself. :wink:

Be nice, guys. Chill.

I assume (can't see it) the video was of people celebrating Obama's win...non-violently. I'd bet Tom was being sincere in his post, Goobs.

You mean the part where he said

Sincere or condescending?

Of course, he was immediately defended by a drunken hausfrau and the single stupidest fucker anywhere on the internet, so he does have that going for him.

I told you I meant it, still do. If you don't like it, that's your problem. Somehow I think I'll live with you "not liking" my posts and viewing me negatively.

It wasn't just this one post, Tom. It's the general tenor of most of your posts the past 48 hours.

You're a loser, Tom , just not a good one. You're just not a good loser, Tom. See? I decided to be nice.

Thanks Goober. Good luck dude.

2nd. an anbsolutely stand-up guy/gentleman.

big fan of Tom in Vergina, here.

he's dreamy.

ps: i kinda like Goob too. i don't recall him being a complete jerk since at least Autumn of '05 or so ;)
any farther back and well, my memory's failing me these days.

Tom’s usually tolerable. Not so much so since McCain lost the election. I’m sure he’ll come around.

ditto...that's why I penciled his name in on my Presidential ballot...

unfortunately, I live in one of the most conservative states in the union and my cajoling carried very little weight with the shitkicker bloc

sorry buddy, maybe 2012 will be your year

You guys rock. Thanks.

Felix, I'm not equipped to be President not in the least, but you know that. Maybe Ambassador to the Netherlands or better yet Russia.

Dinsdale should be President and mvscal his Chief of Staff because he's a uniter.

That didn't stop the Obamessiah. I'd definitly vote for you before Ron Paul.
