Moishe, you are getting tedious. Please limit your new posts to those items that you believe are truly significant. Otherwise it appears that you are wanting to selfishly have all our friends here dance to your tune.

Interesting that Mr. Knotts is new on here, but refers to what Safu wrote a while back.

Sorry PigHunter. You may hunt pigs with hounds fairly well, but you are lousy at hunting down people. I am not safu. I sure do agree with him on his many factual accounts of things, however. What is surprising is how information deficit most of you are.

Good work PigHunter, I think knots may be added to the "he who shall not be addressed" list shortly.
It's probably just a matter of time before he reverts back to his transparent self.

DD,
There may always be a wisp of doubt, but it's close enough for me.
As another piece of evidence, just compare the number of posts Snafu would make pretty much around the clock, and then look at knots'... good enough for me.

Dakotah, You are paranoid. Safu has handed you your lunch so many times your seeing spooks. I've been following these discussions for sometime enjoying the liberal, irrational slant you liberals give everything. Black is white, and so on.

Sayfu the game is up, might be better to just be Sayfu again. Besides then you could say "Econ 101" at will.

I can imagine how hard to was for Safu to be "cordial" to folks that are Un-American, and anti-capitalists that have the country in the peril we are in. Really not time to be cordial. There are too many voters that are apathetic that need to be informed. Folks that despise rich people? Folks that want to bleed more tax dollars out of successful folks when it could go to expanding the economy, and creating jobs giving it to the feds given the evidence what it gets wasted on? How happy to be cordial.

Oh, this makes me giddy!!! I'm snickering so badly I can hardly type! Haven't been on here for a little while, and when I come back, Sayfu has morphed into "Code Name: Clincknot"! At first, I was a little sceptical, but I had noticed the absence of Sayfu posts and the emergence of "Clinchknot". So, I checked out Clinch's profile and read the majority of posts. Wow. That's all I've got to say. Let's run this down a bit, shall we? The new handle? Sayfu has extolled the "virtues" of the clinch knot in fly fishing posts. Constantly referencing er, "Safu"? Check. Disparaging Tenkara? Check. Crushing on April Vokey, and misspelling her name as "Volkey", as the Fu did. Right-O. A little snide regarding Kirk Deeter? Yeah. Posts exhibit Sayfu "syntax". You betcha. Defender of Glenn Beck, Neo-Conservatism, and sworn enemy of anyone who's ever cast a ballot for a Democrat. Yes, yes, and yes. Maybe the move was inspired by Moishe/Jere's call sign switch, but Jere was upfront about the reasons behind it. Fu's last post was 1/24/12, about the time "clinchknot" started posting, and hit the ground running(36 message board posts, 6 comments, and one answer in that short period)...looks like Fu's workload. Give it up, Fu/clinch. The jig is up. It took folks about a day or two to catch on. Do you know what the vetting proccess is? 'Cuz it just happened to you, homeboy. Hang your head in shame, you tiny, tiny person. You don't have the courage of your so-called convictions. The best thing you could do is bow out of the F&S community while you've got a shred of dignity left, instead of trying to keep up the charade. Have you ever read James Thurber's story "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty"? If not you should, because that's you in a nutshell. Pathetic.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_Life_of_Walter_Mitty if anyone's interested.

backcast- Talk about snickerin..All the libs on this thread desperately playing Sherlock spending time investigating who Clinchknot is!...too funny!!!! The plain truth of all of this is...one's belief system, and it relates to the "formidable years" Once a person's belief system is established, be it daddy was a liberal, maybe a union man, and thought unionism was needed to represent the ave. Joe "fairly", or the need for "come the revolution" like modern day progressives propose, then you will dismiss all evidence to the contrary as it relates to your belief system. I was brought up in a very conservative family, and led to belief one needed to find their niche, develop their skills, and move up the economic ladder if that was what you wanted. A strong sense of values was paramount to that belief. These threads demonstrate the stark contrast in belief systems consistent with the divide we have in our country. I'm sure thankful I'm on my side of the fence. You liberals seem embarrassed to be on your side. Nice diatribe backcast. Don't really think it was worth all the effort though.

Oh, BTW, "spending time investigating"? 5 minutes, tops. If only you were half as smart as you thought you were, you'd be dangerous, pansy.

tee-hee, chuckle!!!

rat, Homaski! Please, educate us some more!!!

Bubba

nomme de plume?

Funny thing about that little black spot at the top of chicken schit...it's chicken schit too.

A pen name, nom de plume, or literary double, is a pseudonym adopted by an author.

If I may be so bold as to repeat a prior post,
In online threads such as we are taking part in here, Mr. Knot is practicing being a sockpuppet. It it not an acceptable practice and is frowned on.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sockpuppet_(Internet)

Heh Heh Heh Heh Heh Heh!
Pathetic.

I could have told you the background of the Koch Bros. and why the left attacks them so vehemently. And consider the attention given by our liberal friends that you might just be me to the fact they will do whatever it takes to avoid the facts, and the issues.

backcast,
I know very little about computers, just enough to use them. Wanna tell me how I can log in as both user names? I have trouble logging in to one name sometimes. Seems you're having an emotional unstable time being a liberal. This isn't the best of times for liberals. The big "L" word. Can't you just smell it?

I can provide hoski some free steelhead fishing tips. Free should interest hoski. And he sure needs the steelhead tips.

bubber,
I am just commenting on one of your earlier posts where you were explaining how you don't have the net at the hacienda anymore and must utilize a publicly funded facility to access the internet.
So my question stands: how come a staunch GOP type such as yourself stoops to using publicly funded computers?
Ahhh, never mind, goes hand in hand with that SocSec check...and one can get used to it.

Hope as we move forward in this election year we hear more about Alinsky, his political agenda, and who his followers are. Also would be educational to hear the comparison between Marxism, and the governance of our economy the left has instituted under Obama. Shouldn't take very long, and those that are not hard core, committed liberals, would get a good education.

Jere,

What would it be like without Hoski to keep y'all honest once in a while? LOL!

The answer is not "nice".... The rodent may be another matter. I don't think he even believes half the crap he posts. He's just a pot-stirrer IMO.

WAM

Jere, sorry, no can do.
At times I rather enjoy being a foist to the Blue Haired Old Ladies' Beauty Shop Obama Bitchin Club, or B.H.O.L.B.S.O.B.C. for short....of which I ordain you as a founding member.
It wouldn't be necessary if occasionally you'd get something right.

(my apologies to everyone's sainted mother)

WAM my job is to make Hoski look moderate. Glad we're still buds.

Speaking of Ron Paul; what is the differnce between someone who thinks he will rule another planet and someone who might just BE from another planet?

Ron Paul serves the purpose as a potential vote-splitter ensuring the reelection of the Capon in Chief like that other skinny guy from Texas with big ears.

WAM is correct, Paul has not ruled out a third-party bid. If you remember, Ron Paul, in 1988, was the nominee of the Libertarian Party.

Snafu,
I dare say that I have a better grasp on the election process in this country than your grasp of Econ 101 as you call it....

PigHunter,
My point exactly!

And we makin a bet as to Ron Paul running as a third party candidate. Don't let your lips overload your wallet.

Ok, I accept your challenge. If Paul remains a Republican, I win. The loser must write in CAPS....
HORRAY FOR WA Mtnhunter...

HORRAY AT LAST.

HORRAY FOR Mtnhunter....

HE'S a HORSES ASS!!!!! and of course the opposite, and I write it IF PAUL becomes a 3rd. Party candidate. Fair enough there genius? And ECON 101 is the essence of it all..our debt, our ability to expand our economy, and generate govt. revenue. NONE of you have entered that domain with one ounce of intelligent discussion...none, but the Sayfu. The Rat talks about the need for higher taxes, hoski laughs at the debt created in the last few years, and utter silence from the Mnthunter peanut galery, and the rest of the posters as well.

HAHAHAHA You make a statement about being the smartest guy in the room, offer no substance what-so-ever, then make sniping statements, and changing the subject to me. Seems like I flushed out another closet liberal calling himself a conservative for show. Must have supported John McCain in the last election. And I had to as well, unfortunately.
UUPS.thought that post was by the Mtn man, but Pig can be placed into the same catagory. Or maybe he can offer some knowledge as to good economic policy that would generate revenue rather than increaseing taxes that won't work. That would be a welcome first for this thread rather than the braindead silence on such an important subject.

Yep, therapy would probably be in vain.

I've long advised "he who shall not be directly addressed" to remain anonymous at all costs. If his identity were ever to be revealed in public, large burly men dressed in white carrying nets and straight jackets would be in his immediate future.

WAM

As if it makes any difference to anyone, I am NOT on SocSec. My retirement is paid out of the pension fund of a heavy industry I worked in. They didn't ask me if they could use the CPI (Consumer Price Index) to make payment adjustments, that was their choice!!!

Apparently Homaski is upset due to the fact that I won't tell him EXACTLY what industry I was in (and yes, it was "union"), he feels compelled to just include me in SocSec.

I suppose since Planned Parenthood just held the Susan G. Komen Foundation's feet to the fire that they could no longer fund abortions without the Foundation's support is another subject that Homaski would just as soon "ignore". Oh, well!

Just another attempt to "re-educate" the local populace!!! LOL!!!!

Bubba

The best one is Obama's stupid ObamaCare stipulation in the masssive 2,000 pages of fine print that I doubt he even knew it was in there...probably included by Van Jones, and that group that includes Bill Ayers in it that contributed to the bill. The Apollo Alliance is the name of the group as I remember....requiring the Catholic Church to pay for and accept abortions. It would cost Notre Dame $10,000,000 . 25% of all voters are Catholic, and the GOP is making great hay out of identifying Obama as taking away religious freedoms, and Catholics in particular. Bet Obama makes another omission from his lousy bill. Wonder how many exemptions now that would amount to. I quit remembering at around 1,500.

Hoski,

Perhaps. There are so many different federal, state, and industry "retirement" plans that one could consume his day checking out each one. I know military and most federal retirement benefits are indexed to the CPI, but only IF Congress approves funding for those raises. Those are not automatic raises either.

I have learned who is sincere and forthright on these pages. I count you among those, even though we may not always agree in principle on the subject du jour.

WAM

WAM,
Thanks for your vote of confidence.
Simply put, what bubba is proposing is ludicrous. It would be akin to the Fed stepping into private industry and telling them how much their employees can earn. I can assure you, the only benefits indexed to the CPI are local, state, or federal, and that includes or military forces.

At this point, bubba is a non entity as far as I'm concerned and will not waste time responding to his blather.

I can tell you for duck-pluckin' sure that military pay and pensions are indexed to the CPI, but there have been years that the Feds manipulated the CPI (as always) to limit or eliminate pay increases. Other years, pay budgets were frozen by Congress even when the CPI indicated a raise was due. What's up with food and fuel not being in the CPI. Laughable.
