No behind the scenes 'backbiting' here. Just answered a plea from a fine contributor under fire. So you're dead wrong on that. When BH broke apart an effort to stay in touch was instituted. NOT BY US. Reluctantly we agreed on sharing information; we share 'common interests and experiences' with Deus. Your witticisms, while pleasant enough, were not the 'tie that binds'. And when you were treated poorly by the new cadre at BH we were the first to defend. So, get your facts straight before you accuse, and then you can make sweeping judgements about that which you do not KNOW but simply suspect. BTW, 'the 'inordinate amount of time' may have been as much as 15 minutes one day. Listen, we do not want to leave on bad terms with you; many a good chat was had and let's try to leave it at that. No more interest, here...

Short enough for you? Thu, 16 Aug 2012 17:11:01 +0000 http://www.navygentleman.com/political/?p=19552#IDComment423017614 http://www.navygentleman.com/political/?p=19552#IDComment423011249 you deserve it, brother. Perhaps the others here will behave themselves a little better without our presence to disturb them. It works for the crew here, too- this was becoming a diversion and hindering other, more important issues. Your solid voice and Command Presence would be greatly missed by many here... Thu, 16 Aug 2012 16:58:35 +0000 http://www.navygentleman.com/political/?p=19552#IDComment423011249 http://www.navygentleman.com/political/?p=19552#IDComment423003077 (contd.) They saw a chatty bitch site beset by internicine struggle and moved on. As such, the site began it's descent into pure irrelevancy. Perhaps by removing the divisive influence that we here have become will allow this concern to fully realize it's place in the arena, and continue spreading the message of common sense conservatism. To that end, we wish much success- heartfelt- and a Farewell... Thu, 16 Aug 2012 16:41:58 +0000 http://www.navygentleman.com/political/?p=19552#IDComment423003077 http://www.navygentleman.com/political/?p=19552#IDComment422997240 a last statement. What has transpired the last couple of days is truly regrettable, and to whatever aspect we here have contributed to the ongoing animus the apology is offered and heartfelt. We are all in the same boat but on differing journeys. Speaking for the 'clan', there is NO effort to silence, or drive people out, of this site. Whomever wants to contribute, or speak their piece- no matter how mis-informed or erroneous their information may be- should be treated with respect, and replied to with kindness. Not vitriol and biting sarcasm. When Andrew Breitbart died his (mysterious- oops- there's that 'conspiracy' stuff again) legacy was absconded with by pencilneck geeks like Mike Flynn. 'BH' is now just another mainstream whistleblower; it has been compromised. Make of that what you will. But a hard core cadre wnated a voice of their own, and Navy created this. It had a little momentum, too at first. Some heavy hitters were checking this site out.

Nothing conspiratorial here, amigo- and the only office of interest is the one downstairs with all the gear in it! Wed, 15 Aug 2012 16:57:11 +0000 http://www.navygentleman.com/political/?p=19422#IDComment422370052 http://www.navygentleman.com/political/?p=19422#IDComment422365035 it isn't so much 'blunt' as honest. This affectation, like the confrontational (and ridiculous) icon is highly revealing. But enough about all this; the arguments(and ad hominen attacks) have been laid out and we'll 'let the people decide'... Wed, 15 Aug 2012 16:44:57 +0000 http://www.navygentleman.com/political/?p=19422#IDComment422365035 http://www.navygentleman.com/political/?p=19422#IDComment422361159 no, you wouldn't. And it is a crying shame that it has come to this; 'eating our own' as they say. It is sad to leave the site under these circumstances- once upon a time our pursuits- all of us- were noble and making a difference. But now it's come to this... Wed, 15 Aug 2012 16:35:55 +0000 http://www.navygentleman.com/political/?p=19422#IDComment422361159 http://www.navygentleman.com/political/?p=19422#IDComment422354140 oh, and also the whole 'Y'all' thing is really revealing. Cutesy poo and sarcastic at the same time. Muster up all the anger and hatred you want, feel free to attack or bleat out whatever 'hidden suspicions' you have while you 'duly note' the observations pointed out about you. If you were a male, you would be soundly thrashed, and the line would be long.... Wed, 15 Aug 2012 16:17:13 +0000 http://www.navygentleman.com/political/?p=19422#IDComment422354140 http://www.navygentleman.com/political/?p=19422#IDComment422352079 let's make this simple. You react to any and all stimuli with anger and vitriol. You are both ignorant and arrogant, not a particularly attractive package. Add that ridiculous icon of you pointing a pistol at everyone and the image is complete. Angry, frustrated and foolish. As far as Mr Boehner is involved, yes, he is a decent man in a very tough job. There are 70 million people who voted for Obama who very well could switch. Walking a fine line when you are the minority leader strikes one as smart; something you do not display often. Your replies are always emotional, your anger increases when it is pointed out, and other than frustrated female#2, the poser 'Galtfan' you have no constituency with any intellectual heft whatsoever. As far as what is done here as a living your opinions make absolutely zero impact. Believe what you will, you live in a self imposed cocoon anyway. Any and all points made in all of the debates were backed up by evidence and logic. Your emotional blindness did not allow you to see, just as you cannot fathom why your reply to Leaux was seen as an attack. You suffer from institutional blindness fed by an insufferable ego. The major reason for the lack of interaction on our part is that life is FAR too short to spend time debating with the likes of you. You may be a patent fraud, but you still will vote the right way (one hopes) and therefore nothing is gained from this. Oh, and by the way- from someone who said they 'wouldn't respond' after a hysterical post, you sure didn't hesitate to bare your fangs... Wed, 15 Aug 2012 16:12:06 +0000 http://www.navygentleman.com/political/?p=19422#IDComment422352079 http://www.navygentleman.com/political/?p=19422#IDComment422306745 it is, indeed a sad affair. These two have substituted emotion for logic, drama for reason, and vociferous bile for debate. The major reason our posts have stopped is because of the 'chorus of the harpy' that these shrill voices bring to any discussion. THEY are the only 'true believers'. Having been excoriated for predicting Romney's nomination- the conservative credentials here were challenged as a result- now they defend him like mother hens. So, this, and other mind numbing exchanges caused us, and other experienced sorts to pack up and leave. Life is too short to argue with other conservatives when the true enemy lie unengaged. We, too, miss exchanging cogent thoughts with folk like you... Wed, 15 Aug 2012 14:28:10 +0000 http://www.navygentleman.com/political/?p=19422#IDComment422306745 http://www.navygentleman.com/political/?p=19422#IDComment421974783 cultural fascism is still fascist, and it isn't YOU who abhors dissent. Somehow, somewhere, wires got crossed with this person and anger became the Calling Card. It is sad, too- because philosophically everyone here subscribes to more or less the same views. To react to your admonitions about preparedness- smart, all- with partisan posturing over their own financial woes strikes one as both selfish and insular. Couldn't there be an honest exchange of ideas? No, can't have that. Emotional creatures emote, and the narrative- and the truth- become victims to a rant... Wed, 15 Aug 2012 01:15:29 +0000 http://www.navygentleman.com/political/?p=19422#IDComment421974783 http://www.navygentleman.com/political/?p=19422#IDComment421931114 this person is not worth engaging. In Texas they have a saying: 'I'd like to buy that person for what they're worth, and sell them for what they THINK they're worth. This phrase seems appropo. Arrogance when coupled with ignorance is a most unattractive package, when coupled with a monstrous sense of self worth it becomes appalling. Although one must admit it has been nice not having to deal with conservative nitwits while engaging the true foe...

And selfish people react negatively when provoked; always have. And the below poster is nothing if not self-obsessed. As far as the weather goes, it is a POSSIBILITY that something other than Mother Nature is at work; weather modification by government entities is not outside of the realm. One should consider all possibilities. Your post is not 'Chicken Little' but a realistic suggestion to prepare oneself. Only fools would discount his. But, unfortunately, arrogant fools abound, and it is the bleating of some that is driving this site into obscurity...

To all of those reading this- Learn it. Know it. Preach it. The assault on our Freedoms is occurring from ALL angles, and they hoped to keep this one- the most egregious, too- 'under the radar'. No longer. Even those who don't like guns can understand the constitutional importance of an armed citizenry. Well done, friend...

Know one of them, he does this most weekends. They are off the charts in realism; and a nice snowy day provided for a 'Where Eagles Dare' type re-enactment took place. Everyone had blanks- these guys had Schmeissers and Mausers, we had Thompsons, M-1's and .45's. At one point there was a 30 man firefight with improvised munitions. Tell you the truth, it was scary real at times and the adrenaline was like the first time you encountered hostile fire. Once was plenty- but what a riot...

This balloon was supposed to go up SIX years ago. That's an eternity in US foreign policy.This is all good. Now, the moves must be made to apply a coup de' gras. As you are no doubt aware the stakes are quite high. The asians are NOT good with a nuclear mass herd culling. Lot's of stuff going on, the Egypt thing is huge and the first gauntlet toss. The odd thing is who our allies might really turn out to be. Yeah, Beck is right, about that and a lot of other things. Doesn't mean they'll pull it off...

That's real old school, and it is beyond cool. Hope your family knows how first rate ol' Steve is... Fri, 15 Jun 2012 00:29:58 +0000 http://www.navygentleman.com/political/?p=11984#IDComment381203612
