You are close on your description of both the Register and this Dragon person. Dragon is a fine example of a left wing progressive socialist. I hope this person who changed his mind after listening to the rants of Dragon reads the book "The Roots of Obamas Rage". He will once again reverse course in his beliefs. If he thinks Bush was bad he has no idea how bad this Obama is and who is behind his agenda and the direction Hussein Obama wants to take us. The course we presently are on has been in the planning for a very long time and the people of this country were led like lambs to a slaughter in the election of 2008. If you think it was or is bad now, wait for another two years and you will not recognize our country anymore.

Sam says

Once again the registerag shows its far left , whacked out liberal, class envy, agenda.  Remember a dragon is full of HOT AIR and are found in children's fairy tales, good description of most liberals.

Mr. Smith,

How sad that location dictates civility, my manners go with me wherever I go. I try to remember to use them, sometimes I am a bitter failure, and I often regret having done so. So if I have offended you, and forgotten my manners, I do apologize most sincerely. Having lived in the South, some habits are difficult to break. Manners there while fading rapidly, the basic's remain. Bless your little heart dahlin for tryin.

Wow the register got another one.

Check me on this Bryan, but I thought for sure this article was purely sarcasm...

OK, so you just let others change your mind that easy? WOW, what a pushover and very foolish! Take some advice from this here granny, son you'd better start making up your own mind, before it's too late! Don't let anyone ever so lamely misguide you like that. Are your scrupals intact my dear? Check yourself. Pray for understanding and guidance, because it sounds like you need it. Think before you decide to allow others to change you like that!

 Something is rotten in Denmark when the person being defamed and the victim of a commentor's abuse is a dude that was taking pictures of underage boys. Is CountryCowboy really that reviled that people think this dirty old man deserves better than being accused of being countryCowboy.

I sometimes wonder what happened to all of the former anonymous people that used to post comments here. Sometimes I read the comments to get the news, opinions or just for humor. I was banned for a while but I am back again. It would be nice for the register or bryan dubois to list all of the former anonymous people who were blocked and banned. Some come back under other names. But still it would be nice if the register put in a notation of who was banned. Many years ago, I went into a bar and saw a list of people who were barred or banned from the bar for causing a ruckus. It would be interesting to know what happened to all of the former bloggers. For example what happed to hancrackmeup, vladamir pootin, country cowboy and the others? Does Bryan know? Maybe Bryan could start up a blog about banned anonymous bloggers. It might get interesting.

Kottage Kat says

Stormy,

I am not fighting with him, nor did I call him a troll, read people. I would not tell him he is factual or "right on", because HE s already aware of that.  Just do not like people who come across as " better than", and for those who did not grasp the concept, most of what I said was tongue in cheek.  Didn't say he was wrong , did not say he was right, just the attitude with which he presents his rhetoric,  I am just here having fun and throwing in an opinion or 2.  Just do not take it as serious as Mr. Smith does.  Besides politic's and all the quotes and cuts and pastes, just are reading material for me.

I don't have to be right, I have to be happy.  And I am, very. Just threw in the Ann Coulter to get him going. For those of the other side, I have read Audacity of Hope also, and sorry I hated it, Mr. Obama writes like Mr. Smith.  Now that should really roll his oats. Tee Hee.

wetsu says

I enjoy 6079 Smith W quite a bit, even on those occasions when we don't see eye-to-eye.  I have seldom seen a serious offering by him that was not well thought out and supported by fact.  Perhaps the fact that he can factually disembowel most arguments based mainly on speculation makes people uncomfortable.  Please understand that this post is not a shot at Kottage Kat, I enjoy your writing style, yet I think it's a mistake to lump 6079 Smith W in with some of the one-trick ponies that frequent these boards.  I certainly do not view him as a troll, yet, YMMV.  The passion that political debate elicits in many people often results in otherwise reasonable folks going for each others throat.  Unfortunately, that seems to be playing into the politicos hands by diverting the attention off of them.

George Foreman still kicked butt at 50, scaly dude.  And if you can't differentiate between an invitation and a threat, perhaps you should head for a zoo, where you can watch the turtles go streaking by.

I'm not going to answer all of your questions, because I'd be repeating myself.  I answered several of them the other day on another thread ("Journalism is Destroying our Community," or something to that effect; can't look it up while typing here).

Now this is interesting; two conservatives fighting.  You never see libs do that.

Kottage Kat says

Perhaps kind sir you need to read what I said,saying I needed the practice in case I wanted to join the Trolls union. Unfortunately it is "not all about you", and I actually did not even have you in mind. Delusions of grandeur, you are having, and as I said you are a legend in your own mind.  I am not back peddling, I am clarifying for you,  Actually whomever said " No one likes you," they were quite wrong. I think you are a hoot, and having been raised amongst the wealthy, little people such as yourself amuse me with your rhetoric, and your feeble attempts to project intelligence, and even make me believe you have some class which in your case is severely lacking.

I find your tasteless name calling, and childish behaviour quite amusing. All your comments lack is nah nah na, You attempt to retaliate to those whom you think are "picking on" poor little you. For goodness sake, take it like a man. Develop a thick skin and use your so called intelligence to enlighten, not inflame.  Your are the neighborhood kid we took snipe hunting. Quit whining and just flap your fingers. Now if this does not have your boxers in a knot, I will try harder the next time.  TTFN

stormy says

Yo, Fire-Breathing Boomerang:

Assuming that you are NOT our dearly departed Charlie Chan impersonator, why have you accused Mr. Dubois of having ol' Chung's plug pulled?  You have written this on at least one other thread, and on this one at 12:55 today, but this "fact" has not been established.  Where's your proof????

Dubois mentioned, on another thread, that he was AWARE of Chung getting his ticket punched.  He did not say that he had anything to do with it.  I am aware of the Earth's rotation; do you think I cause it?

 All I want for Christmas is for CountryCowboy to rise back up from the ashes of the moderators guidelines and bestow his wisdom upon us.

I have read "How to talk to a Liberal if you must"  I do enjoy the commentary and input, so have to practice just in case I want to join the Troll Union someday.

Oh!!! Mr. Smith, you rascal do have a way with words, please remember, modesty is the better part of valour, perhaps I have quoted that in error, and if so, please feel free to correct me.  Thank you

The blogs are a blessing that I use to get out God's word.  I praise the Lord Jesus every day for this opportunity to spread his word.  Glory to Jesus.  May the Christmas season remind those sinners out there that they will be judged for their sins!

Isn`t it funny how whenever goofus makes a comment that 6079smith is usually the next to comment agreeing and it even goes the other way most of the time? It sure is sad when one person has to have 2 different names to comment under just so they have somebody to agree with them? 6079smith had to come up with another name because he couldn`t find anybody far enough out there to agree with him. LOL Now THAT is desperation at it`s finest.

goofus says

Facts? I prefer staid old moonbat talking points. Chung lee's favorite pastime when confronted with an argument he couldn't refute would always include a discussion as to the other person's sexual preference. Kottage Kat, I merely post things that you will never see on the lamestream media, funny I'm still awaiting fact checks on anyone of my articles and I have never heard of any of my sources being arrested for lying.

brutus smith says

 R.O.D. , that's why I didn't comment. I don't want to feed bryan's ego anymore than he self feeds it.

Shhhhhhhh!!,

stormy says

Folks, you DO realize that Mr. Rathney's comments about being "converted" were strictly tongue-in-cheek, don't you?

Return of Dragon says

This is too funny.  Mr. Dubois makes a satirical rant and many of those who share his beliefs jump on the bandwagon without realizing his intent.  In a world where political detractors can claim that the POTUS is spending 200 billion a day on a recent trip to a important trade partner, be proven wrong, and yet have the story return time and time again in the echo chamber, it is no wonder how so many missed the attempt at sarcasm by Mr. Dubois.  People on these blogs have become accustomed to reading Mr. Dubois fact free rants and did not recognize this piece to be any different.  If Mr. Dubois is so certain that reading blogs does not change opinions........ why does he write a blog?  Clearly he believes he can do what others cannot.

Clearly, Mr. Dubois prefers a system where he can say whatever he wants and not be subjected to any scrutiny or demands of proof of his assertions.  Chung Lee would take him to school and make him look like a complete mindless shill so instead of getting the facts he chose to complain enough to get Chung Lee removed.  So when another poster comes around and gets the best of him instead of getting the facts he wants to call me Chung Lee even though I am Return of Dragon,  Then he engages in namecalling which resulted in his comments being taken down.  Only he missed the irony of his call for improving the civility on the blogs ended up leading to his comments being removed by the moderators!

As far as comments not having an impact on beliefs....... I believe there are a number of people around town that probably do not have very nice things to say about Mr. Dubois.  So in that aspect..... Mr. Dubois you have proven your own premise wrong.

 

 

 

Kottage Kat says

I stayed because I had family to help take care of, I am neither uneducated nor ignorant. I am more than capable of taking constructive criticism. I am very definitely NOT anti intelligence, NOT allowed in the home where I grew up, education and educational pursuits were required. I have no clue why you think you are educationally, and culturally more astute and better than everyone. Your haughty, snotty little narrow minded attitude does not impress me me one whit.  I don't give a toads toenail what you think of me, I am just here having fun and sharing my opinion, sans the name calling when possible. You are too stringent and unbending to make what you say have any merit, while all your links and quotes do validate what you are trying to say, they are no more than others and far more intelligent people have shared those. 

Sir, you are a legend in your own mind.

I bid you good day

Having read the balderdash, and political drivel, seems as though nothing has changed my mind. I read, study and make informed decisions, as most semi intelligent person would. To those whom are so easily converted you have my best wishes.

Mr. Smith is a repetitious windbag whose says nothing remotely educational, and that is just one of the nice things I will say about him, lest the moderators be forced to work overtime. Brutus, Goof-us and their ilk, just more of the same rhetoric over and over. Hoping for change that does not seem to be on the horizon. God speed to all through the mire of nonsensical verbiage.

Unassumer says

If a few intelligent comments could change the long held beliefs of many commenters and residents, I would comment 80 times a day!  But alas, everyone's stuck in popular opinion, old fashioned belief systems and political game playing that no amount of insight can penetrate that.

FST says

 That is about as funny as somebody saying that Rev Ron showed them the way to God.  Besides,reading the comments in the SR is like reading the funnies in the cartoon section.

MiddleRight says

I think you have all missed the sarcasm dripping from Bryan's article. 

The point is, you can be as ruthless as you want to on here, but you aren't going to change anyone's mind.

Yes, you may make a couple of people look like fools(you know who you are) becuase they spout off opinion with no fact, but it is highly unlikely that you will change their life-long beliefs, especially if they take the time to post on here.
