Why this philanthropist and public servant should serve as a role model.
I'm sure all of you have been in a department store at some point in your lives. The department store has become an American staple known for its variety of goods at affordable prices. It's hard to think what our lives would be like without the modern conveniences that we always seem to take for granted.…

NOT YOUR DADDY, Aren't you band? or was that another pithy little title.
77 - roger nowosielski
No, just another recent addition to replenish BC's talent drain.
78 - Jeannie Danna
Talent? That's a laugh...
79 - Dr Dreadful
Hmm...
I don't think there are any legal issues here, Jeannie, up to and including libel - since you did actually say those things, and in a public forum to boot.
I do not, however, approve of TRF's decision to post the conversation verbatim on his personal blog, especially since he used your name and most especially because he did so without asking you.
Not only is that unethical; it's bullying. It's not a heck of a lot different than if he and his friends were to surround you in the schoolyard and make fun of everything you say.
80 - roger nowosielski
No problem as far as I'm concerned. One possible strategy to implement is simply not to address him any more.
Why give him more "ammunition"?
It's limited, of course, because he may go to other threads and use selected comments as material for his own blog. Whatever it takes.
Good luck, Resounding Father.
81 - roger nowosielski
I find it interesting that the Resounding Father had since removed the "liberal swine" comment (see #73 above) from his personal blog.
Where is your conviction, Father? Why not let it stand?
82 - Dr Dreadful
@ #76:
'Just One Man' is the banned commenter you're thinking of, I believe.
Unless there's a band called Not Your Daddy?? I'm confused now.
83 - roger nowosielski
As a matter of fact, there is - at least an album.
I don't think any reference to JOM was intended.
84 - Jeannie Danna
OK DOC, you saw my mistake..:(
i will never be a cyber bully..because i would end up telling someone
"Watch out! or I'll put you in a comma!"
:)
85 - Jeannie Danna
no i did not mention that name Roger...brrrr
86 - Dr Dreadful
This does not assist with my confusion.
I'll go and lie down now.

"I would rather not compromise with Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Lenin, Mussolini, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein and the thousands of others. I am proud of America for standing up against the murders that rule these other countries."
You must not be an educator in history. How about you double check when their regimes started and when America finally stood up to them? The years don't always match up.
"Oh yeah, here in America we educate retards rather than killing them!"
No, Jordan, we kill them as well.
88 - Jordan Richardson
No, Jordan, we kill them as well.
Right, right. Forgot about Texas.
89 - Jordan Richardson
I find it interesting that the Resounding Father had since removed the "liberal swine" comment (see #73 above) from his personal blog.
He's also gone with the good old "I've been attacked" narrative for his latest post, apparently ignoring all of his own atrocious personal attacks that he has tucked away on his blog and believing, somehow, that he and the world of Glenn Beck-inspired "debate" actually elevates things in America.
What a confused individual.

All this is making me feel like a nice cup of tea.
One lump or two?
92 - Jeannie Danna
TRF,
here's one for your little blog..
'The party of no has proven time & time again that they are not ready to lead!'
I'll be looking for it when you publish.
93 - Jeannie Danna
is this you?
94 - Jeannie Danna
you should have thought twice before publishing my name on that blog...believe me Mr. if anyone attacks me or my family (like a lone wolf,since you probably are attracting nuts to that obnoxious site)you will be the first person we look at. Got that clear in your head?
95 - Dr Dreadful
I note the possibly interesting, possibly relevant fact that none of the little entries in question on The Refounding Father's blog have any comments.
Unless he summarily deletes them all, it looks like he's just talking to himself.
96 - Jeannie Danna
very relevant and interesting...i thought i was the only one with a lonely blog :(
thanks for pointing this out!
97 - Jeannie Danna
Well then Doc, i guess there's nothing for me to see here anymore.
on to more interesting threads..see ya!
98 - The Resounding Laughter
I just went to the Father's blog and noticed all the talk about tea parties, and if there's anything I love it's a good tea party.
How do you get an invite to one of these, or do you just wander along.
Does one need to take anything ... tea cake, cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off, etc.
Also, being in America, would the tea parties be more into teabagging, or prefer the pot? I'm not a great fan of the teabag and would be able to bring my own pot.
Please let me know as I'd love to go along to one.
Cheers.
99 - The Resounding Farter
I don't mind tea bags, mate, as long as they're Tetley.
Thankfully you can get Tetley quite easily over here.
100 - Night of The Rebounding Garter
I notice no one answered the question about The Resounding Laughter's pot.
Perhaps it's a case at these tea parties of the kettle calling the pot black.
I don't know. I'd like an invite too.
101 - Jordan Richardson
Unless he summarily deletes them all, it looks like he's just talking to himself.
He's talking to "My Fellow Americans." I guess there aren't as many of those as he thought.
102 - STM
Well, not here there's not. If he's around, he's talking (or listening virtually) to:
1 Pommy;
1 Canuck, and
1 Australian.
None of whom, if for no other reason thasn they live outside the US, would have any idea of the meaning of liberty, freedom, or truth, justice and the American way.
And the man obviously has something serious to say.
Why is no one listening?
Shame on you, America ...
103 - roger nowosielski
Actually, Jeannie, you put your finger on it. The very same individual, and no other.
104 - roger nowosielski
And that's from a real patriot, Resounding Father. STM pulls no punches, though we disagree on a number of things. His is the conception of true freedom and democracy, however differently we may envisage such things.
Yours is a voice reaction, hopelessly mangled and muted.
I should wish, I suppose, that you prosper. But your kind, to tell the truth, is a dying breed. The sooner the better.
105 - Jeannie Danna
Roger,
This thread is fun!
Now, how do we get the Senator and the blog together so that the people of Montana can see the truth?
I find this incredible!
What does this man think of housewives and veterans in Montana?
106 - Cindy
lol Dr.D (& Co.) that is hilarious!
107 - Cindy
Oh it's Stan, I think. Funny stuff, Stan!
108 - Jeannie Danna
Cindy,
Is this true? or is everyone pulling my leg?
109 - Night Of The Rebounding Garter
A friend of mine once went to a tea party at Buck House (Liz's joint), and had a bit of a chat with Phil the Greek.
They did have cups of tea and cucumber sandwiches, too, which, apart from getting to meet the Queen, is one of the main reasons everyone goes if they're lucky enough to get an invite.
My friend promised everyone she wouldn't curtsey, then did. She just couldn't help herself. Everyone was doing it so she did too.
However, she WAS upset that she didn't get to speak to Her Maj who, as a strong woman who has been able to keep her head for decades while all about her others are losing theirs, is someone she looks up to.
But that was the only bad part of the tea party, apparently. She even enjoyed speaking to Phil.
Who goes to the tea parties in America, and do they have famous - even royal - people there??
And do they big on the pot??
110 - Night Of The Rebounding Garter
Make that do they GO big on the pot.
111 - Cindy
Jeannie,
My comment refers to the funny names used by Dr.D and Stan.
Is this true?
Not sure what you mean.
112 - Jeannie Danna
Cindy,
This is the strangest thread i have ever been on!
#93 should be looked at..
113 - roger nowosielski
It goes to show it's difficult to compete with Glenn Back. But this thread still has the makings of a standup comedy hour.
Perhaps it's not the wisest thing to have done to expose oneself to BC ridicule. Not the best way to launch one's political career.
114 - STM
Who's been using all those silly names.
Well I never.
G'day Cindy, Rog, Jeannie, et Al (I never did work out who Al was)
115 - roger nowosielski
Hurrah for the Internet, though, Silver Fox. Had I known he was a State Senator, I probably would have been more circumspect with my comments.
Well, be that as it may, the freedom of speech still reigns.
116 - Jeannie Danna
ditto Well, be that as it may, the freedom of speech still reigns.
I hope so..
117 - Jeannie Danna
G'day STM :)
118 - Jeannie Danna
I am going to go make myself a nice cup of tea now..I learned awhile ago that when these clowns named their movement, they were not referring to a beverage..:)
119 - Cindy
G'd eye said the blind man as he peed into the fan...it's all coming back to me now.
120 - Jeannie Danna
This is why I am concerned.
121 - roger nowosielski
Good link, Jeannie.
In absence of their ability to articulate their views coherently, what you're looking at is a culmination of the teabaggers' philosophy.
122 - Jeannie Danna
Exactly, Roger.
123 - Jeannie Danna
Look at theseidiots and see how they drag their children into it...
124 - Tea party
I'm a little tea pot,
Short and stout
Here is my handle
Here is my spout,
When I get all steamed up,
Hear me shout
Just tip me over and pour me out!
I'm a clever teapot,
Yes it's true
Here let me show you
What I can do
I can change my handle
And my spout
Just tip me over and pour me out!
125 - Jeannie Danna
#124,
On a day when we should be thinking of the poor people in Haiti..this ass is singing a little nursery rhyme.. a very appropriate little tune for this childish, selfish and ignorant political group.
Wouldn't you all agree?
