2009-10-06T17:54:17.378+02:00

I seem to recall the same kind of stories going around in the 1990-1992 time frame regarding the Japanese. How'd that work out? China is certainly in a better economic position than we are, but if we go down, the whole shooting match is going to go down.

2009-09-30T20:51:18.125+02:00

I swore I wasn't coming back here, and then I read about Hugh being turned over to "the authorities" by "anonymous". You all take the cake here, you really do. Question, Stamp. Exactly how did I "flame out" on my own site?

2009-09-30T16:24:19.929+02:00

Birkenstocks...yeah, that's a sore subject with me. You see, when I moved here from California I owned a pair of Birkenstocks, and Deadeye won't let me live it down.

I'm sure you've been kicked out of better places than that. ;)

2009-09-28T20:13:51.030+02:00

I thought I'd bring the conversation back over here, where it belongs. First, I would agree that I brought much of the abuse on myself by stooping to the level of Stamp and others at Caput Penitus Culus instead of being "bigger" than them and refraining from going into an attack mode. However, it's not like they were in any way receptive to my message BEFORE I joined in the feces slinging. Why do I try to "convert" his followers? It's because I believe that people like the Caput a Palos are dangerous enemies of freedom. They foment a mob mentality that only serves to make the agents of Der Staat more powerful.

Huh? No, we were referring to

2009-09-28T20:08:40.449+02:00

Huh? No, we were referring to that great legend (in his own mind) the Caput a Palos.

Though we had this conversatio

2009-09-28T03:06:23.426+02:00

Though we had this conversation offline, I will answer the question here as well. I am a believer in free will. While it may seem that what I have described in this post makes the case for Calvinism (that is, for predestination), I know from my own experiences that people with honest, open minds can be reached with reason. I know I have reject my own strongly held beliefs on at least two occasions when presented with logical evidence I could not refute.

2009-09-28T02:37:53.964+02:00

Okay...let me see if I understand what's going on here. I say something. The Admin decides it's "troll behavior". But...when that same post is QUOTED by someone else, it's permissible. This is crap censorship. I'm outta here. You can have your little echo chamber to yourselves, bigots.

2009-09-28T00:50:35.922+02:00

If Betty were in charge, police would be kicking in in people's doors right and left on the most flimsy of accusations...and she would be just fine with this.

2009-09-27T23:56:28.308+02:00

catwhisper, I will acknowledge that you may be right in that regard (that many are genuinely concerned about the victims). Again, it comes down to: are you willing to place yourself in a vulnerable position with regard to your OWN protections just to get convictions against 12 men alleged to be predators?

Rebeckah, If you've ever read

2009-09-27T23:51:56.825+02:00

Rebeckah, If you've ever read any of Wil Griggs' writings over at Pro Libertate, you'd know that the police aren't all squeaky-clean protectors of the weak and oppressed. Yeah, maybe you get lucky, and the cops who investigate false claims against you are good guys. Or maybe you end up dead when a no-knock warrant is executed against you. Do you really want to roll the dice against those odds? I don't.

Rebeckah, Here I just said yo

2009-09-27T23:22:20.485+02:00

Rebeckah, Here I just said you're rational and above name calling, and you hit me with "[we have] vaginas but are not bowing down before the mighty male wisdom of a carrion eater and a cyberstalking bully". Is my point so totally lost on you people that you think it's just about male posturing? I don't know who frequents this particular site, if it's predominantly female or not. I do know that you're decidedly bigoted when it comes to the FLDS and it colors your judgment, hence my little trip here.

Rebeckah, I know you to be on

2009-09-27T23:18:11.298+02:00

Rebeckah, I know you to be one of the few people in this dog fight who is rational and NOT given to name calling. As such, I will respond to you in kind. I don't understand why my position is seen as favoring the practices of the FLDS. Quite frankly, I'm not a fan. My concern is and has always been with the bigger picture. The bigger picture is this: once law enforcement gets away with an unconstitutional raid on the FLDS, what's to stop them from using similar methods against you or me? If those who frequent this site and Caput Penitus Culus are so blinded by their zeal to see the FLDS punished that they're willing to risk their OWN Constitutional protections, I feel genuine pity for you.

Again with the straw man, Bett

2009-09-27T23:09:02.695+02:00

Again with the straw man, Betty? HOW I practice my Christian walk is between me and the Lord. I don't answer to you, particularly when I'm responding to purely secular issues here.

By the way, the point that EVE

2009-09-27T23:06:22.350+02:00

By the way, the point that EVERYONE seems to be missing regarding my post is this: I demonstrated quite clearly that the Caput a Palos uses his anonymity NOT for some altruistic aim, but to allow unabated bullying on his part against those who disagree with him. No whining involved. Just showing examples, nothing more. And the next time that cowardly MF'er calls me a pedophile, he's going to find himself on the wrong end of a REAL legal action, trust me!

2009-09-27T23:03:37.797+02:00

Like I said, Betty, I didn't start it, I just respond in kind. YOU people started it. Reap what you sow and like it!

Hey Boots, I'll take your word

2009-09-27T23:02:27.784+02:00

Hey Boots, I'll take your word for it the first time someone is actually CONVICTED. What's that? No convictions yet? Yeah...about that "that is all we need as Texans, to prosecute the crime".........

Oh, but I DO have a real argum

2009-09-27T22:57:19.125+02:00

Oh, but I DO have a real argument. It just never seems to get past the feces-tossing stage. I didn't start the name calling - you people did. I just respond in kind. I don't see where the 1st Amendment comes into play here; I have never addressed 1st Amendment concerns in regard to this matter. I have 4th Amendment concerns. And I DON'T think that a clearly fraudulent premise for a blanket warrant spurred by bigotry falls within the realm of Constitutional.

Boots, you're a moron. Let me

2009-09-27T22:45:48.113+02:00

Boots, you're a moron. Let me count the ways. > I don’t always agree with Texas Blues Man, his agenda, > methods or even his personality, but he has never done > anything to indicate he lacks a decent character. Really? You see absolutely nothing wrong with alleging that someone is a pedophile or pro-pedophilia? THAT'S "decent" character? > You—on the other hand, seem to think that defending men’s > ‘right’ to impose the belief in the practice of a felony onto > innocent children, using the threat of eternal, suffering, > damnation with impunity, to violate their human rights, is > somehow an indication of your good character. Again, you're a moron. My argument was with the Constitutionality of the raid. If crimes have been committed by the FLDS, by all means prosecute them. But a house-to-house search based on a REALLY questionable warrant obtained under REALLY questionable circumstances? THAT bothers me, and it should bother everyone who believes in Constitutional protections.

It matters, Betty, because he

2009-09-27T22:40:16.597+02:00

It matters, Betty, because he and his sycophantic followers are contributing to the mob mentality against the FLDS. But then, that's another thought I'm just "rehashing", I suppose. Twit.

Betty, You had the nerve to call ME a drama queen? OMG! BTW, all of you fans of Caput Penitus Culus (AKA Coram Non Judice) might want to take a gander at this (http://thelurkingvulture.blogspot.com/2009/09/understanding-people-read-i-dont.html).

2009-08-13T18:39:31.660+02:00

Will, I join with the others in thanking God that you were prepared and that this intrusion of agents of Der Staat turned out as it did. My children are grown, yet I still found myself feeling the anxiety you surely must have felt knowing what Leviathan is capable of. You're in my prayers.

I think you're failing to fact

2009-08-06T18:23:11.231+02:00

I think you're failing to factor in the manifold ways that the Free Market can fill a vacuum. While old-media morons like Murdoch (and, most likely, the NY Times) will go pay-per-play, other smaller players will make the most of the situation by remaining free and relying solely on advertising. Yes, advertising dollars are down NOW. But they know full well that they'll be back. And they also know that the word-of-mouth goodwill for their sites will pay off in increased patronage not just for their "free" stuff, but for their "for purchase" stuff as well.

Because, if it wasn't, then you're a tool of the first order, and, in the interest of "saving the planet", you should be exiled to someplace where your own personal carbon emissions won't harm precious Gaia.

Hey, Shari! I hadn't checked here in a while. I thought you'd grown tired of blogging. I'm glad to have you as a regular at my place. And I take no offense to either your yawns about Niners posts, nor your linkage of vultures with the politicians in Wake county. It really IS appropriate, isn't it? :)

2009-07-30T11:23:27.711+02:00
Okay...let me get this straight. If, for ANY reason, the police decide to pull me aside and question me, whether their rationale is valid or whether it's simply harassment, I'm just supposed to bend over and take it? "Papers please. We are Der Staat. Acquiesce to the wishes of the Schutzstaffel, or face the consequences." Whatever happened to the Constitution? Those of you defending the arrest of individuals for the non-crime of "failing to obey a lawful order" are simply parroting right-wing political correctness. Our founders would have NEVER stood still for such treatment! And, no I'm not a Lefty bed-wetter, I'm a libertarian wondering how in the world "conservative" Americans can support police state policies.

Rachel, you have my sincerest sympathies. When my dog Lillian died seven years ago, it tore a huge hole in my heart. It was four years before we could bring ourselves to replace her - and it took two dogs to do it. It really is like losing a family member.

I know it's not exactly "family news", but I wanted to voice my appreciation for Steve and the fantastic job he's done of standing up this family blog. Those of us on the "wrong" coast don't get much of a chance to keep up on family news, and the newsletter, while excellent in its own right, isn't nearly as effective as a central meeting place on the web. Great job, Steve.

I know I'm a day early, but I'll forget to do it by tomorrow (it's a 50-year-old thing, you young people wouldn't understand). July 29th marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of John Howard Fullmer, Sr. (Howard), my paternal grandfather (WP, Howard, John, Michael). As his oldest grandson, I just wanted to give a shout out to make sure his memory lives on.
