interesting column
it's like on youtube where there are many uninformed people spewing hatred at people such as Rush, and conservatives. I've tried debating, but mostly have been called evil, hate-filled, etc. Most of the liberal name calling. Others quite debating when I showed them facts. As you have stated, I disprove 100% what is happening in our government, and can't wait to get this Anti-American out of the Oval office. I don't want America "changed." I want America to remain the great envy of the world, where immigrants flock to for the American dream (legally). Great post

Eric Thanks, pal.
You know, your comment really hits home to me. Debating with these mongrels rarely works. They do go looney almost immediately and start gushing out unintelligible gibberish. The more I learn about Obama's schemes, the more distressed I become. I think we should stop trying to reason with radical liberals, and just keep shoveling our message onto their heads. I'm with you. I just want our America, not a cold, European, cynical, socialized country with no soul. Gotta stop. God bless you, Verne.

Welcome to TH, Verne
Based on your posts, I know you'll find many kindred spirits here. Since last June, I've been blogging up a storm about Obama. I did a lot of research on him during his candidacy and I'm still surprised at the lunacy of some of his actions since Jan. 20th - and it's been less than a month and a half - I shudder at what havoc he can unload on the U.S. before we dump him in 2012.

Thought-provoking post and I thank you kindly, Verne.
Like a bad penny ... I will turn up again.

You have all the qualifications to be an official A-Source. But after you sign up, it's like in "Hotel California" -- you may check out anytime you like, but you can never leave. Congratulations!

When you have the elimination of secret ballots...Then it's time to blow off "Anonymous sources" and the "committees of they" as meaningless crap that has no validity...

Cindy No Validity
Your words -- no validity. Who's in control of this country now? I'm the new boy on the block, but I love our little band of dissidents scattered about the Internet. And I'm proud to be associated with all of you. I want to know -- what forged your belief in conservative philosophy and Constitutional government?

My childhood
Vern. My Mom was a teacher (She got her degree from Bob Jones). She read the Bible every day until I was in the 6th grade. We did a lot of old fashioned camping. My Mother was tough and So was my Grandmother (She had a wall full of hunting guns in her dining room and she used everyone of them.)
Anyone that knew my Mom knew I never got away with any type of deceit.. There was never any enabling either!
Lot's of tough love. I love how America came to be. It's really amazing! I also love Civil War and World War II History. Why because they all are about the Story of Heart. (I guess that makes me war monger and probably a conservative).
Who's controlling this Country? New Agers /are working diligently to bring in the NWO They are seed groups. Many are unaware they are being exploited by elitists with a sinister master plan. This what Revelations is all about.

I want to be an anonymous source. Just make stuff up. Who cares if you hurt anybody with what you say. Hey, no worries you are an anonymous source. Amazing how there is so much credibility given to these so called anonymous sources.
I hope these years go fast. These last few weeks seem like we have lived at two years in slow motion. I a not sure how much more I can take! Are we done yet? Is he gone? Did we survive?

I have been on TH since April 27, 2007. You get use to the hatred that the Looney Left spews. You might want to read an article I did back in 2007:

The names might change, but the hatred remains the same.

Love Wilm. and the ship there in the
Red, well, Wilmington is a nice area. Spent many summers in Southport. Obama would not know how NC live and the state supported him for CHANGE and now got socialism. See where Obama and Pelosi now want to take out a Dem, Heath Schuler because he is voting with Pubs as a Blue Dog. Well Verne, I have been a conservat. since I was 15 and like you will not be fooled by any schemes by Carvile and Rahm. These flackers think that the public will turn on Rush to avoid thinking about how the tyrant in the WH is ruining the economy. Drop by Verne.

Cindy -- Enjoyed your bio
Hey, thanks for sharing some personal insight about your background and some of the things that shaped the Cindy that we know today. I can understand how your dear Mom established boundaries and discipline. This was the foundation of her love for you. One reason we have much crime and mayhem today is that "parents" only produce children, but don't raise them. Your grandmother sounds like a great individual with a free-wheeling spirit. Would like to have known her. I am a military history buff also, especially WW2. It's revealing that you cite Revelations in your understanding of where we are in our journey on Earth. I appreciate that. Stay vigilant. Keep the faith. And stay in touch. Verne.

Garnet92 --- good to hear from you!
Hey, pal. Yes, I am having a ball getting to know the good people of the TH neighborhood. Means a lot to me. You speak of "research", and this is one of the things I admire about our TH community. There is serious study being given to what we can expect from the Obamacrats. This is the best barometer of all. They are cunningly packaged, but it becomes more evident day after day that they are hastening us down the road to high taxes, dependence on big government, and a cynical European mentality. Keep 'em honest, Garnet. I'll help you. Verne.

Thanks for your note. I seem to be clueless about the "Committee of They", but it sounds sinister as heck. I really want to know about it. I didn't forget to reference the issue, I guess I'm just naive about it. Clue me in. I will appreciate it. God bless you, brother.

Always appreciate your input and insight. You say it straight and true. I asked Garnet92 about the "committee of they", which he referenced. I am a news and public affairs junkie, but I don't know the meaning of this term. What is it? I want to write about it, I think. Stay in touch.

Rackoons --- you're an adopted son of NC
I knew there was something I liked about you. Matter of fact, several things. You are a tough as nails conservative, a patriot -- and you know my town. My wife and I moved to Wilmington from Raleigh in 2000 when I retired. We bought an 1872 Italiate house in the historic district, and our son restored it. We're very happy here, with nice neighbors and just a 5-minute walk to downtown and restaurants. Come on over and we'll treat you to some great seafood. Thanks for the invite to stay up on your writings. I'll be checking on you. Best regards.

'The Committee of They'
is Georgetwin's. He was just pointing out how anbiquous/non creditable information can be
easily diffused of any real scrutiny by this ploy until being further researched. (Which could be a while) By that time the damage could be done or hard to reverse.

I see. Very cool. But, hey, I really like this characterization. Faceless, like a political sniper. I want to keep this epithet alive, and paint the Obamabrutes with it. You, Georgetwin and the other neighbors are doing noble work. Best regards always.

Well, it's late for me to be online so I may not make much sense. But given your background, at some point would you consider putting up a post giving people like me a little more "personal" insight into the world of the media? I only see the results of decisions made, I don't know diddly about what goes on behind the scenes.
Sorry, pithy and spelling take a holiday when I am tired. Thanx for your consideration.

AL . . . OK!
I'd be happy to take a swing at that -- inside the media mind. I won't do that right now, but will launch a post on that topic ASAP. Good question, and I won't have all the answers. But I can draw on a 40-year career in the media, jump-started by my old pal and mentor, the late Jesse A. Helms. That was quite an experience, and I will always be grateful for his friendship and encouragement. (But I will not do this unless you tell me how you make your posts look so darn good. Deal?)

How many time have you heard, "Well THEY say....".
It is obviously more than 1 person that have consulted with each other and arrived at a consensus. THEY obviously are VERY smart, because SO MANY people give what THEY say credence. Hence, The Committee of THEY.
