Yesterday a caller on a radio talk show said that he thought they should ban the term “Public Servant” because they are now extinct. Politicians now serve only themselves.
The other day on Rush he was talking about the Pres of Iran. Rush said something like this. “This guy has given the finger to France,UN,Germany and the rest of the world.He is going to do what the hell he wants and what he thinks is best for his country and claims to have the blessing of a higher power. He doesnt care what any other country thinks”
I thought about it for a second and it hit me. This guy is the GWB of Iraq. Now I know how the rest of the world felt when we did what we did in Iraq.
Dont get me wrong. These two men are not the same but the way they are going about their goal is very similar.
Collectors are trying to snap up the short lived Stamp depicting the former first lady only a few thousand were sold in California and Texas until congressional republicans stopped the issuance of the stamp because of the numerous complaints that the Texas stamps were not sticking
The Post office official inquiry reported this
We received several stamps that were purchased in California and when the appropriate amount of human saliva was applied they stuck to the enevelope perfectly
We asked for local post offices in the Houston area to send us the returned Hillary Stamps so we could examine them
Again once the appropriate amount of saliva was placed on the stamp the Texas Stamps too stuck perfectly
What was apparent that in Texas people were spitting on the wrong side of the stamp
“Running” the country is a debateable term. I think they’re “running” it right into the ground. The only comfort in the Duke Cunningham deal is that he’s already out of office.
I am thinking about the May Day march and immigration, and getting so angry, and seeing history repeat itself.
Do you remember Mohammad, Islam’s hero? How did his followers get all their power? They had no skills or abilities. But they over-ran those who had worked and toiled their whole lives to build up their businesses and their farms, and then took over their businesses. Of course, look how prosperous the area is now, the majority of the area still in the dark ages.
The illegals don’t have the patience to start at the bottom, put a lot of money and time into becoming a citizen legally; they perfer to overwhelm those who have put their lifeblood into their businesses and farms, and take them over as their own. Well guess what will happen to those businesses?
I am so tired of the vote-whores in Congress not wanting to upset the illegals; all the new names for them so they don’t anger those who started their life in America breaking the law. I am going to go shopping Monday to support all those businesses who remain open with legal workers. I will no longer eat Tyson products, since they are shutting down their plants on Monday.
I think we should have an anti-illegal march, to let the lawmakers know that there are alot of people who will not vote for them if they continue to coddle to the illegal contingent.
In view of the coming demonstrations and boycott by Illegal aliens, and the threats and the hatred being spewed forth by these so called “latino leaders” against law abiding american citizens, I’m left without any alternatives but to boycott any and all businesses that employ Illegals. Maybe the time has come for business to advertise
“No Illegals working here”
Edd Hendee got an e-mail from a guy wondering why there are so many gov agencies labeled “service” such as “Internal Revenue Service”, “Civil Service”, etc. Then he thought about the rancher who had this bull, to service his herd…
I heard someone say we need to take note in all the businesses that get hurt or partake in this boycott on Monday, and remember where not to go Tues., Wed., etc. We should log our sightings here.
Another note, can we convince our emergency rooms to reverse boycott on Monday?
#10 KRAUT;
..And the one’s that do could put up a sign that reads; “We hire illegals”. That would make it too easy!
There’s one small grocery and gas mart on FM 2978 that has a sign out front that reads: WE SPEAK ENGLISH!”. Not a bad marketing idea albeit ever so crude. I surmise that he did this in response to the three gas marts/stations in the area that are run by an asian, a hispanic and a “person with a turban”.
You can guess which one that I prefer to patronize.
“Orthodox Shias believe that the Mahdi’s reappearance will herald an era of peace and security worldwide. When their messiah comes back, all injustices will disappear. That includes American power.”
“It’s not unlike how millions of evangelical Christians in America feel about the second coming of their messiah. They want Jesus to show up as soon as possible.”
On a side note, did Rush get a sweetheart deal or what? A Get-out-of-jail (not quite free, but a drop in the bucket for him) card.
Its funny how many kids are taken out of public school when rumors of a illegal immigrant raid are announced. When we enrolled our kids in Cy-Fair schools we had to bring all their documents and vaccinations to get them in school. How do these illegals get their kids enrolled without documents?
I got my Tax Appraisal from Paul, my shorts are too tight Bettencourt yesterday. My Appraisal went up 9.4 %, pretty close to the 10% cap. Do you think that they see a cap coming and figure the better get all they can while the can?!?!…NAH! Just a coincidence! Even if my taxes were capped to where they are today, it’s too late, they’ve doubled in the last few years. By the time I retire, I will not be able to pay them. I’m going to fix this problem in the next few years, I’ll move out of the “Peoples Republic of Taxes”, and move into the old home place in Alabama, taxes $315 a year on 45 acres and an old farm house. NO STATE AUTO INSPECTION TAX!!! If the auto inspection is not a tax then why do they let you go two years when its new but charge you for those years.
BTW; One of the corner stones, of the founding of this country, was property ownership. In Europe almost all of the land was owned by royalty, the U.S. was different, anyone could own property if he paid for it. Any property tax is unconstitutional because if the ransom is not paid, the Gov’mint will confiscate the land.
Property taxes got started just like the income tax, when it began, it only affected a small number of people so the masses didn’t revolt. At the beginning of the twentieth century the “Homestead Exemption” was $5000, almost no one owned a house or land that was worth that much. They raised the Homestead Exemption several times but it is still a joke. Today the exemption should be whatever the median price is in an area, exempting 95% of the homeowners. In TAXES, it would be about $150,000, exempting my humble abode.
We signed our kid up for Cy-Fair this year and there was a lady in front of us that was Canadian, her nor her child had a SSN or anything stating they are citizens only the baby had a SSN due to being born here. The lady doing the registrations did not blink an eye and signed the kid up anyway. One more child enrolled means more $$ for them.
The coming May Day illegal alien parade is all courtesy of the Great Lying White Shark in the White House. He has coddled them for 6 years. He tells SOB stories of how they cross the desert to get here.
He says “they all come here to work.” He ignores the cold hard facts of illegal alien crime and the victims of that crime. He ignores the billions we citizens pay to pay for illegal aliens.
He says we have to be for “compassionate and comprehensive” immigration reform. Translated in Lying Shark English that means we continue to leave the borders wide open. The Great Lying White Shark cares not about the Oath he took to protect the USA and uphold the Constitution.
So you should send the Great Lying White Shark in the White House a thank you card for the wonderful illegal alien parade you will see on Monday.
I think the Great Lying White Shark should lead the parade wearing a sombrero, rose in his mouth and he should perform the Mexican hat dance with Vicente Fox.
Guys sorry about last night. I did want to meet ya’ll. I let the wife read some of your post and she was laughing her ass off. She didnt believe me about the LST gang. She thought I was off to meet some 13 year old and get busted on Dateline NBC.
Maybe next time she will let me out of my cage. Its been so long since i’ve been in a bar. Well, the kids are screaming. Gotta go. anyone know how to get in touch with the Supernanny?
I have an idea, something I plan to do and I hope all of y’all will to. To counter the illegal alien protests on Monday I’m contacting all my family and friends to take liquid shoe polish and paint at least one anti illegal alien slogan on their car or truck. Something short and to the point:
AMNESTY=CHAOS, SECURE OUR BORDERS NOW!,
NO AMNESTY! HEY MEXICO, PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH!
Get inventive but don’t be insulting or derogatory remember the activists not to mention most of the media would like to make this a racial issue rather than a citizenship and secure border issue.
It may mean some dirty looks, extended middle fingers, not to mention keyed autos and flat tires but these kind of incidents should not only be reported to the authorities but to the media and the blogs to show what happens to honest opposition. Can you imagine what would happen if every citizen did that? the route to work would be one big counter protest march.
So fellow Texans, are you going to stand up to the reconquistas and open border activists and show you got a pair or are you gonna worry about your freakin’ wax job and knuckle under. NOW’S THE TIME TO MAKE A STAND!
Last night was fun. Got to meet Big45, Buddy, Shannon, Sarge, Jeff. I got to see old friends, Matt, DanielJames, Duhmoose, Squawk and Mrs. Squawk, The Dude and Mrs. Dude, Smacktle, Headshaker, Rightwingsparkle, Goodjobtim and Mrs. Tim. Also met a “lurker!” If I left anyone out, I’m sorry, I have a headache this morning and besides, I’ve been up all day!
Gregg, the next one will be in your area too. I know a great nanny if you need to borrow her, so bring Mrs. Gregg! You’ll have a month to plan on it, so you won’t have any excuse!
Speaking as an alcholic with more than 20 years of sobriety, I want to thank you and all the Liberals who have set the Recopvery Community back about 30 years with your continuing use of Mr. Limbaugh’s admitted drug problem to denigrate him. Now people know that Liberals will use ANY unfortunate circumstance of being a human to denigrate those with whom they disagree, especially those who are effective in getting thier message across.
The hardest think for an addictive personality to do is to admit his problem publicly, and the principal roadblack to that is public chastisement. The Reccovery Community has for decades tried to get across the idea to idiots and uncaring dolts like you that no matter what, we should be congratulatry and supportive of those who do take that first difficult step towards sobriety and admit publicly that they have a problem.
You Liberals will stop at nothing, and it’s disgusting. I’m pretty sure that I can now look forward to having you mention my admission of acholism in the place of any coherent factual argument in any discussion of the issues we may have in the future…but I’ve come to expect that from Liberals.
BTW…the deal Rush Limbaugh got was no freaking where near as good as the one Ted Kennedy got…and as a result, Teddy continued with HIS disease for another 35 years, infecting his family and others with it’s inevitable results, bringing untold emotional pain and suffering to everybody surrounding him. Maybe if he had come forward as early as Mr. Limbagh did, there’d be some happier people in his life, and your Party wouldn’t be in so much trouble everytime that hypcrictical oaf opens his mouth.
#36 sarge - you make some good points and I agree for the most part. My only question is did Limbaugh come out before he was investigated or after? I don’t know the answer, but if he came out afterwards, did he really have a choice, and would he have tried to hide it as long as he could?
Last evening was a lot of fun, and it was really nice to put faces with more of the names I see on here. Sarge, my biggest question is who left with the Kool-Aid? I can verify that I did not see anyone drinking it, at least not while at the BHH.
Good luck with the Florida Baptists!
1. Limbagh was absent from his show many times during this period. He was seeking help at the time. This was aggravated by the fact that he was also going deaf, not a good thing for a radio personality to be going through, so you might be able to imagine the emotional struggle he was having. He did enter a Recovdry Facility on his own and before his public exposure.
2. In the Recovery community, we do not put any conditions on admission. The most important moment of any addict’s life is when he finally realizes he has a problem, the conditions that caused that realization to come about do not enter into it. Once they have admitted thier problem, the addict should be supported, not chastised and shamed like a 4 year old who touces his pee pee. Everytime chastises or denigrates on addict, especially the more “famous” ones, they cause another 50 to go back and hide their problem in their drug of choice.
3. Ted Kennedy killed a woman due to his disease, Rush Limbaugh got publicly embarrased. if that oulbic embarrasment is what caused him to make his admission, I congratulate him…if only to make the stark comparison between the benefits of his doing so as opposed to someone who chooses to continue in his disease Like Teddy did after Mary Jo’s funeral.
Aren’t the responses from the perverts on those Dateline stings great?
“Uh, I wasn’t gonna do nutin’.”
“I just came here to talk”
“Uh, I know I messed up”
“Uh, I didn’t know she was 13.” Then they are confronted with the chat transcripts.
Guess it depends on the meaning of “I wasn’t gonna do nutin”
One more thing I am ging to point out, then it’s off to Capitalist corner:
The way Liberals treat addict people in need of recovery because of the harm it does to themselves and thier family is this:
Rush Limbaugh admits his problem and gets publicly raked over the coals for it.
Ted Kennedy kills a woman driving drunk, continues as a drunk for another 35 years, is reelected every six years by the poltical machine his family controls, being patted on the back the whole time, and even sees suppport for his Presidential Candidacy.
You wonder why me entire body quivers everytime some Liberal tries to use Limbaughs admission as a hammer?
Here’s a couple of letters to the editor from the Galveston Daily News, Saturday May 29th. I don’t I agree with every side sentiment expressed but I do know that both letters are capturing the frustation felt by thousands of Galveston County residents. More of my frustration comes from the fact the some of the leaders neglecting this problem are people I worked hard to get elected. I am still confident in President Bush and our overall leadership but we the GOP are failing America in our handling of the border.
We Should Take Care Of Texans First
My condolences to all those who have no health insurance.
I recently learned that, if you have no health insurance, you can no longer get the health care you need in Texas.
Most working families have little money left at the end of the month, so what do they do? This is totally ridiculous to me.
I know that services used to be provided for our residents in this state but, apparently, we are overloaded with illegal residents and others who have no insurance.
Our government seems to be punishing those residents who actually work in the lower-paying jobs, who have no insurance and are trying to provide for their families and not be a burden to anyone.
So, if you need health care, should you quit your job, work only for cash and pay no taxes, so that you could then receive benefits?
It seems that our government should find a way to provide health care for all those who are legal residents of this country.
Of course, we want to provide basic services to everyone, but maybe this idea of cheap labor has backfired on the economy of this and other states.
Take a look at who benefits from this labor force — not your average working American, for sure.
Many of those jobs that used to be done by Americans are no longer available and more jobs are being outsourced overseas in other countries.

Stop The Benefits To Illegal Immigrants
In Texas we do not have common politicians in our legislative offices. Our representatives have no common ground whatsoever, have lost all common values and most definitely have no common sense.
If a few of these self-serving elected officials would get off their cell phones, trying to look important, and represent the people who put them there, I am certain a light would come on and, wow, like a revolution, the solution would be forthcoming.
Let’s stop the education of illegal immigrants in Texas and stop asking Texas taxpayers to fund their education, their free breakfast and lunches at school.
While they are at it, they could stop their free health care and legal fees when they commit crimes against our people.
Now they are asking for more of your money to waste. Enough is enough.
Please be careful and study your candidate before you vote. Let’s can these no-common-sense politicians.
Limbaugh was not afforded anything more that has not been offered to street folks, common folks, middle aged folks, old folks, sports figures, lawyers, entertainers, clergy, truck drivers, poor men, rich men, congressmen, senators etc.
You are way off base with the suggestion that his influence garnered him favor. In fact in Florida it is written law that first timers are afforded a second chance if they are actively seeking help.
I do want to thank the folks at the BHH yesterday. I was glad I was able to stop by, but if it wasn’t so close to work and (mostly) on the way home I wouldn’t have been able to. Perhaps if we can have one in Katy, Rosenberg, or Richmond I’ll be able to stop by for more that 15 minutes.
It was a bit of an education, though. The last time I was on that part of Barker Cypress there was noting between 290, which was 4 lane blacktop then) and Little York except a stop light at 529.
Now this woman gets the Spot on Award of the weekend. Is Dub-ou-ya our modern day Moses, like he thinks he is? Does divine intervention = Open Borders?
I got it Phil…trying to make people free from tyranny is a bad idea, we should never try because it never works….
Do us all a favor look up what happened in these years:
1776, 1836, 1945
Never mind…I’ve seen your posts, so here goes:
1776: The British colonies in North America declared thier Independence from Britain, eventually establishing a nation dedicated to certain principals of Freedom that has lasted over 225 years now. But seeing as how it was done by humans and the change was only temporary (as your article states) it probably wans’t worth it.
1836: A bunch of farmers in a province of Mexico declared independence from a tyranical dictator. But again, the effect of human nature that it had was only temporary, so it probably wasn’t worth it.
1945: That nation and that state helped to bring down three of the most despotic, tyrannical, and evil nation states to have existed on this planet. In the years after that war, that nation and that state were able to transform the economies and plltics of all three, and entirely transdform the cultue and religion of one of the oters.
But according to your article, none of that was worth the trouble either.
There are lots of other inspiring and instructive dates in history that blows that article and your sentiment right the frik out of the water and onto the surface of the moon…but most of the other people here know them, so I’m not going into any more detail.
Thank God you and your kind won’t ever gain the kind of following you’d need to run this country the way you want to. Even the stumble bums we have now are greatly desired over anybody who thinks that bringing freedom to oppressed people isn’t worth the time, the trouble, or the sacrifice.
(SNIP) it is time to end the sentimental drivel about how much the Bush administration cares for the freedom and well-being of the Iraqi people. This is an insult to the Iraqis’ intelligence. Arabs, like Kurds, know that foreign policy is not social work. It’s time to acknowledge that American Marines aren’t fighting to liberate Iraqis any more than they fought in World War II to liberate the Germans or Japanese. Our armed forces are fighting because they want to prevent 9/11 from becoming a regular part of American reality. The Egyptian historian, Ahmad Othman, explained it best in a discussion about Arab rulers on al Jazeera:
What happened is that after September 11, the Americans realized that dictatorial regimes in the Arab region produce terrorists who attack America and Europe. The entire world lives in fear of the terrorists these regimes produce. The Americans realize this. They do not want to establish democracy for our sake, but in order to defend themselves. If the Arab people has an opportunity to learn, to participate in the rule of its own land, and in building society, it will not destroy America and Europe.”
“They do this for their own interest,” Othman went on, “but we have a genuine opportunity, an historic opportunity.” Straight talk implies respect for oneself and for one’s audience. The U.S. should tell the Iraqi people, “For reasons of American national security, we need to cut the boil that is Arab governance. We decided to start in Iraq. Those who will join us early will be handsomely rewarded.” Plain talk like this is not only more plausible, it implies respect. In short, Americans should not try to make the Arabs in general, or the Iraqis in particular, love them. They should merely level with them. (Squawk’s Note: And us)
Rush Limbaugh underwent two unsucessful back surgeries and for a three year period, was in excruciating pain, almost to the point he couldn’t walk.
Some insider information - the Rush to Excellence tours and his TV shows were cancelled and B1 Bob dornin filled in for him almost 40 plus days because of his surgery and his recovery
Rush, today, still lives in terrible, terrible pain and soon will be confinded to a wheel chair
This wasn’t Ted cocaining a line on a table his father bought him while his nephew raped someone upstairs
this was a man in terrible pain who was sick and tired and too busy to keep going to the doctor once a week (OxyContin is one of the most controlled prescription medicines) to get prescriptions filled -
Nothing unites a nation more than a common language and culture.
National anthem in Spanish is another kick in our butts by the future masters of this country.
Prevention is better than cure, border crisis has been steadily growing for a long time but our elected officials refused to address this issue in the past, it may be little late now.
In another 25 years or so Spanish will be the language of commerce in these United States and I feel sorry for our grand children if they could not speak Spanish they will be reduced t0 picking lettuces in Californian sun.
Let history be our witness that politicians of today have sold our country to the enemy.
It makes me laugh that we are fighting terrorism in remote part of the world while our home is constantly raided by another kind of enemy equally intense and destructive.
also, what were you trying to get at by posting that Rutgers Historians opinion article about a war she hasn’t observed and a country she hadn’t studied?
I was just curious are you now for the war, against the war, what?
Also name calling is allowed for Bush but not for name callers?
Double stndard?
I think Phils over the top with the name calling
Eric
Bwahahahaha like those people care what I say. Nice try though.
You posted the premise I asked for YOUR sources to be posted. You did not. Oh and BTW I heard Rush’s original admission of addiction on his radio show when this story broke and he was entering rehab.
Here is Rush’s admission to his addiction to prescription pain medication from October 10, 2003.
“You know I have always tried to be honest with you and open about my life,” the conservative commentator said in a statement on his nationally syndicated radio show.
“I need to tell you today that part of what you have heard and read is correct. I am addicted to prescription pain medication.”
“I first started taking prescription painkillers some years ago when my doctor prescribed them to treat post surgical pain following spinal surgery.
“Unfortunately, the surgery was unsuccessful and I continued to have severe pain in my lower back and also in my neck due to herniated discs. I am still experiencing that pain. Rather than opt for additional surgery for these conditions, I chose to treat the pain with prescribed medication. This medication turned out to be highly addictive.
“Over the past several years I have tried to break my dependence on pain pills and, in fact, twice checked myself into medical facilities in an attempt to do so
Also my grandfather who built homes in Chicago’s Suburbs died from backpain its a killer. I know from personal experience it only gets worse if it can’t be operated on its a degenerative disease
Now I know you’re trying to keep me in line and I appreciate that I will get you a reply in person from David Limbaugh give me two weeks
Roys backkkkk. This is what I call the real deal of activism. God Bless Roy Warden!
Mexican Flag Burner Warns Tucson City Council: “I’ll Be Back in Armory Park on Monday!”
Roy Warden
4/28/06 Tucson
“I’ll be back in Armory Park on May 1”, warned Mexican Flag Burner Roy Warden today, in spite of a statement issued by Assistant Tucson City Manager Liz Miller. “You can tell the Mexican Nationals, the Mexican Consulate and Open Border Activists: I will be there!”
Warden said he doesn’t care about the permit acquired by those who support illegal Mexican Nationals. “The Supreme Court says to require a permit to enter public property and engage in lawful protest is an act of prior restraint on free political speech and impermissible. These people can take their permit and shove it.”
Warden, arrested three times for lawful political activities within the last two years , has successfully defended himself on the two prior occasions. “I beat Barbara LaWall two times and this time I’ll beat Alan Merritt. He’s a hack.”
Oh btw I don’t require the “all do respect” stuff. Just state your case that will suffice. I don’t take exchanges or differences of opinion as a personal affront.
That wasn’t the whole statement also any doctor will tell you that some prescription drugs are by nature totally addictive that’s why he got tired of going to the doctor every week!
Morphine, codeine, many many drugs are addictive, its not a weakness they’re powerful drugs - it doesn’t mean they are abusers like Ted, Bill they are being TREATED for EXCURCIATING PAIN
I know its hard to admit that we could have been wrong but he was facing 15 YEARS in PRISON for buying drugs FROM TWO DOCTORS
That was low scummy and outrageous
Anything to get him off the air
Anything
do you think he lost all that weight and his hearing because he was hitting 600 golf balls a day
he was on severe pain medication that causes dizzyness, vomiting and loss of appetite
With these facts I’d personally temper my remarks, I hope you and Squawk and others don’t ever, ever have the pain like Rush and My Grandfather its terrible
Can someone explain the Texans pick? I have tried to rationalize every conceivable option and I just shake my head. Cant wait for Academy to start selling Mario Willimas jerseys.If they didnt want Bush then VY was the next logical pick. Local kid etc. This city has a football curse.
I think the Dome and now Reliant Center was built on a sacred indian burial ground.
You obviously did not read my posts above so I will move on. If you want to know my feelings on the Limbaugh case READ the little black words I typed and the exchange that prompted my response.
On the War in Iraq. Read what I posted word for word. No where in it is there any indication that DR. Klinghoffer or myself disagree with the war in Iraq only the reasons we are given by the administration.
Also what’s with that author? Man that was 2003 thing are totally different,I don’t know what she was advocating, should the USA put their own brutal dicator in power allied with us or did she think Saddam was best
Eric - I don’t mean to seem like I am being argumentative. Perhaps I should have referenced the quote that I posted as being in reference to your statement in post #83:
Rush has been and still is being medicated he is not addicted, never was, he just thought he could prescribe himself
As to this statement of yours:
That wasn’t the whole statement also any doctor will tell you that some prescription drugs are by nature totally addictive that’s why he got tired of going to the doctor every week!
I know that it was NOT the whole statement. That is one reason for posting the link - so you can see the entire statement and see it in its original context.
You may have seen some “chidings” of commenters to shorten their comments, provide the “money quote” and provide a link to the rest - well, I took those chidings to heart.
I will openly state here that I admire Rush Limbaugh’s battle with addictions. I pray that his battle is successful, and he is able to continue with his brilliant career. I do not believe that repeating his words, admitting that he was addicted was an attack on him, and I am sorry that you believed that it was.
I hold Slick Sharky Bush II to higher standard because he passed himself off as the man who was going to bring dignity back to the White House.
Now, six years later he has failed to uphold his Oath of office and he is letting the country be invaded at a record pace and not only that he endorses the law breaking by everything I’ve heard him say.
He has also adopted Slick Willie I as his “Brother”.
Now I ask you. If Slick Willie I were the president with the exact same illegal alien problem and in a post 9/11 world and I was saying the exact same things that I say about Sharky Bush, would you like what I say or not?
I guarantee you if Slick Willie I were prez many of you who say I am a “Bush Basher” would be in my corner and if he were president right now I would be posting the same comments.
The Repubs used to accuse the Slick Willie I supporters of being intellectually dishonest.
Well in my opinion, the shoe is on the other foot now. Since it is a fact that Sharky Bush II is violating his Oath of Office, according to Article IV section IV of the US Constitution, I guess I should give him a pass because he ran a as Republican? He should have run as a cheap labor globalist on Vicente Fox’s ticket because that is what we have in office now. He represents Mexico’s interests, not the majority of the American people who elected him.
The drug is addictive the FIRST pill you take, whether its prescribed or not or whether you are in pain or not
I’m sorry i can’t convey tone of voice I’m not admonishing at all or upset with you in anyway
He has a serious health problem with intense pain in his back and neck
He medicates himself so he can live as close to a normal life as possible
He tries to play golf, Football players have played with degenerative discs its a terrible problem, his isn’t treatable though its not responsive to drugs, surgery etc.
Please acept my apologies I’m just listening to someone talking about Rush and a guy already in jail as being the culture of corruption again
#110 Eric J
As someone who has worked in the medical profession for the better part of 30 years, I may understand more about addiction, and also about intractable pain, than I pray you ever have cause to understand.
As to your #98 about tempering my remarks, in my #93, I made no remarks - merely described what I was quoting, posted the quote, and provided the link.
Apology accepted.
SYDNEY, Australia — Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards was hospitalized for a mild concussion he suffered while vacationing in Fiji, reportedly after falling out of a palm tree.

We’ve got some real class acts running this country, and I mean on both sides of the fence.
Yesterday a caller on a radio talk show said that he thought they should ban the term “Public Servant” because they are now extinct. Politicians now serve only themselves.
The other day on Rush he was talking about the Pres of Iran. Rush said something like this. “This guy has given the finger to France,UN,Germany and the rest of the world.He is going to do what the hell he wants and what he thinks is best for his country and claims to have the blessing of a higher power. He doesnt care what any other country thinks”
I thought about it for a second and it hit me. This guy is the GWB of Iraq. Now I know how the rest of the world felt when we did what we did in Iraq.
Dont get me wrong. These two men are not the same but the way they are going about their goal is very similar.
I saw a good bumper sticker this week:
“Politicians and diapers need to be changed for the same reason”

#3 HS,
“Running” the country is a debateable term. I think they’re “running” it right into the ground. The only comfort in the Duke Cunningham deal is that he’s already out of office.
I am thinking about the May Day march and immigration, and getting so angry, and seeing history repeat itself.
Do you remember Mohammad, Islam’s hero? How did his followers get all their power? They had no skills or abilities. But they over-ran those who had worked and toiled their whole lives to build up their businesses and their farms, and then took over their businesses. Of course, look how prosperous the area is now, the majority of the area still in the dark ages.
The illegals don’t have the patience to start at the bottom, put a lot of money and time into becoming a citizen legally; they perfer to overwhelm those who have put their lifeblood into their businesses and farms, and take them over as their own. Well guess what will happen to those businesses?
I am so tired of the vote-whores in Congress not wanting to upset the illegals; all the new names for them so they don’t anger those who started their life in America breaking the law. I am going to go shopping Monday to support all those businesses who remain open with legal workers. I will no longer eat Tyson products, since they are shutting down their plants on Monday.
I think we should have an anti-illegal march, to let the lawmakers know that there are alot of people who will not vote for them if they continue to coddle to the illegal contingent.
In view of the coming demonstrations and boycott by Illegal aliens, and the threats and the hatred being spewed forth by these so called “latino leaders” against law abiding american citizens, I’m left without any alternatives but to boycott any and all businesses that employ Illegals. Maybe the time has come for business to advertise
“No Illegals working here”

Edd Hendee got an e-mail from a guy wondering why there are so many gov agencies labeled “service” such as “Internal Revenue Service”, “Civil Service”, etc. Then he thought about the rancher who had this bull, to service his herd…

I heard someone say we need to take note in all the businesses that get hurt or partake in this boycott on Monday, and remember where not to go Tues., Wed., etc. We should log our sightings here.
Another note, can we convince our emergency rooms to reverse boycott on Monday?
GoodIdeaTim. Start with Arandas.
#10 KRAUT;
..And the one’s that do could put up a sign that reads; “We hire illegals”. That would make it too easy!
There’s one small grocery and gas mart on FM 2978 that has a sign out front that reads: WE SPEAK ENGLISH!”. Not a bad marketing idea albeit ever so crude. I surmise that he did this in response to the three gas marts/stations in the area that are run by an asian, a hispanic and a “person with a turban”.
You can guess which one that I prefer to patronize.

I agree with your very important observation. It is pretty amazing how astute our founding fathers were in wanting separation of religion and state.
http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_1685901,00120001.htm
“Orthodox Shias believe that the Mahdi’s reappearance will herald an era of peace and security worldwide. When their messiah comes back, all injustices will disappear. That includes American power.”
“It’s not unlike how millions of evangelical Christians in America feel about the second coming of their messiah. They want Jesus to show up as soon as possible.”
On a side note, did Rush get a sweetheart deal or what? A Get-out-of-jail (not quite free, but a drop in the bucket for him) card.
Its funny how many kids are taken out of public school when rumors of a illegal immigrant raid are announced. When we enrolled our kids in Cy-Fair schools we had to bring all their documents and vaccinations to get them in school. How do these illegals get their kids enrolled without documents?
# 12
Excellent. I will make note of businesses that honor the boycott and post them here.
Hope everyone does likewise.
#16 gregg, the bigger question is where the heck were you last nite?
#14 Malcolm
It’s in the numbers! about 80% of Americans are against Illegals.
I got my Tax Appraisal from Paul, my shorts are too tight Bettencourt yesterday. My Appraisal went up 9.4 %, pretty close to the 10% cap. Do you think that they see a cap coming and figure the better get all they can while the can?!?!…NAH! Just a coincidence! Even if my taxes were capped to where they are today, it’s too late, they’ve doubled in the last few years. By the time I retire, I will not be able to pay them. I’m going to fix this problem in the next few years, I’ll move out of the “Peoples Republic of Taxes”, and move into the old home place in Alabama, taxes $315 a year on 45 acres and an old farm house. NO STATE AUTO INSPECTION TAX!!! If the auto inspection is not a tax then why do they let you go two years when its new but charge you for those years.
I have obtained a picture of where gregg was last night.
BTW; One of the corner stones, of the founding of this country, was property ownership. In Europe almost all of the land was owned by royalty, the U.S. was different, anyone could own property if he paid for it. Any property tax is unconstitutional because if the ransom is not paid, the Gov’mint will confiscate the land.
Property taxes got started just like the income tax, when it began, it only affected a small number of people so the masses didn’t revolt. At the beginning of the twentieth century the “Homestead Exemption” was $5000, almost no one owned a house or land that was worth that much. They raised the Homestead Exemption several times but it is still a joke. Today the exemption should be whatever the median price is in an area, exempting 95% of the homeowners. In TAXES, it would be about $150,000, exempting my humble abode.
Hola amigos…
Gregg I drove an hour and 15 minutes to get to the
brewhaha that was in your backyard thinking you
were going to be there. WTF?
The people were great! The beer was not as cold as advertised and there was no food! Had to get a pizza from next door.
Headshaker neo was the one running around grabbing everybodies ass.
What really sucks is the Texans took a defensive lineman with the first pick in the draft instead of Reggie Bush. I told my wife and she said and I
quote, “they took a defensive lineman instead of
an offensive lineman?!” She doesn’t follow football at all and even she has a better idea
of what the Texans need. Can’t wait to go out and buy a Mario Williams jersey! NOT! What an inept organization. They go and pick someone who may be a star instead of more of a sure thing like Bush.
This is almost as disappointing as finding out gregg is whipped!

We signed our kid up for Cy-Fair this year and there was a lady in front of us that was Canadian, her nor her child had a SSN or anything stating they are citizens only the baby had a SSN due to being born here. The lady doing the registrations did not blink an eye and signed the kid up anyway. One more child enrolled means more $$ for them.
The coming May Day illegal alien parade is all courtesy of the Great Lying White Shark in the White House. He has coddled them for 6 years. He tells SOB stories of how they cross the desert to get here.
He says “they all come here to work.” He ignores the cold hard facts of illegal alien crime and the victims of that crime. He ignores the billions we citizens pay to pay for illegal aliens.
He says we have to be for “compassionate and comprehensive” immigration reform. Translated in Lying Shark English that means we continue to leave the borders wide open. The Great Lying White Shark cares not about the Oath he took to protect the USA and uphold the Constitution.
So you should send the Great Lying White Shark in the White House a thank you card for the wonderful illegal alien parade you will see on Monday.
I think the Great Lying White Shark should lead the parade wearing a sombrero, rose in his mouth and he should perform the Mexican hat dance with Vicente Fox.
Smack, WTF do you mean by this:
Guys sorry about last night. I did want to meet ya’ll. I let the wife read some of your post and she was laughing her ass off. She didnt believe me about the LST gang. She thought I was off to meet some 13 year old and get busted on Dateline NBC.
Maybe next time she will let me out of my cage. Its been so long since i’ve been in a bar. Well, the kids are screaming. Gotta go. anyone know how to get in touch with the Supernanny?
I have an idea, something I plan to do and I hope all of y’all will to. To counter the illegal alien protests on Monday I’m contacting all my family and friends to take liquid shoe polish and paint at least one anti illegal alien slogan on their car or truck. Something short and to the point:
AMNESTY=CHAOS, SECURE OUR BORDERS NOW!,
NO AMNESTY! HEY MEXICO, PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH!
Get inventive but don’t be insulting or derogatory remember the activists not to mention most of the media would like to make this a racial issue rather than a citizenship and secure border issue.
It may mean some dirty looks, extended middle fingers, not to mention keyed autos and flat tires but these kind of incidents should not only be reported to the authorities but to the media and the blogs to show what happens to honest opposition. Can you imagine what would happen if every citizen did that? the route to work would be one big counter protest march.
So fellow Texans, are you going to stand up to the reconquistas and open border activists and show you got a pair or are you gonna worry about your freakin’ wax job and knuckle under. NOW’S THE TIME TO MAKE A STAND!
Last night was fun. Got to meet Big45, Buddy, Shannon, Sarge, Jeff. I got to see old friends, Matt, DanielJames, Duhmoose, Squawk and Mrs. Squawk, The Dude and Mrs. Dude, Smacktle, Headshaker, Rightwingsparkle, Goodjobtim and Mrs. Tim. Also met a “lurker!” If I left anyone out, I’m sorry, I have a headache this morning and besides, I’ve been up all day!
Gregg, the next one will be in your area too. I know a great nanny if you need to borrow her, so bring Mrs. Gregg! You’ll have a month to plan on it, so you won’t have any excuse!
I need that Supernanny who puts kids in a hypnotic trance that makes them obey like robots.

Mike;
Speaking as an alcholic with more than 20 years of sobriety, I want to thank you and all the Liberals who have set the Recopvery Community back about 30 years with your continuing use of Mr. Limbaugh’s admitted drug problem to denigrate him. Now people know that Liberals will use ANY unfortunate circumstance of being a human to denigrate those with whom they disagree, especially those who are effective in getting thier message across.
The hardest think for an addictive personality to do is to admit his problem publicly, and the principal roadblack to that is public chastisement. The Reccovery Community has for decades tried to get across the idea to idiots and uncaring dolts like you that no matter what, we should be congratulatry and supportive of those who do take that first difficult step towards sobriety and admit publicly that they have a problem.
You Liberals will stop at nothing, and it’s disgusting. I’m pretty sure that I can now look forward to having you mention my admission of acholism in the place of any coherent factual argument in any discussion of the issues we may have in the future…but I’ve come to expect that from Liberals.
BTW…the deal Rush Limbaugh got was no freaking where near as good as the one Ted Kennedy got…and as a result, Teddy continued with HIS disease for another 35 years, infecting his family and others with it’s inevitable results, bringing untold emotional pain and suffering to everybody surrounding him. Maybe if he had come forward as early as Mr. Limbagh did, there’d be some happier people in his life, and your Party wouldn’t be in so much trouble everytime that hypcrictical oaf opens his mouth.
#32 Squawk, you hit the nail on the head! gregg is more whipped than a can of cream!
gregg, since you can’t go out after dark, I’m arranging a luncheon meeting before the next BHH.
Can you get permission?
#36 sarge - you make some good points and I agree for the most part. My only question is did Limbaugh come out before he was investigated or after? I don’t know the answer, but if he came out afterwards, did he really have a choice, and would he have tried to hide it as long as he could?
Last evening was a lot of fun, and it was really nice to put faces with more of the names I see on here. Sarge, my biggest question is who left with the Kool-Aid? I can verify that I did not see anyone drinking it, at least not while at the BHH.
Good luck with the Florida Baptists!
Damn Squawker. My wife would at least let me look. Ive been married 17 years. My will and spirit has been broken.
Sarge, I’ve always respected you and now my respect has doubled! Very nice to meet you last night!
BTW, I loved the tin foil helmet!
WTF is wrong with this world?
Slade misappropriates funds, gets canned, and now is suing for damages because she didn’t get a “hearing” before her firing.
People like her, and her lawyers, are a scourge on the planet.
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/3828537.html
You wonder why I shake my F*****g head!™
Shakey:
1. Limbagh was absent from his show many times during this period. He was seeking help at the time. This was aggravated by the fact that he was also going deaf, not a good thing for a radio personality to be going through, so you might be able to imagine the emotional struggle he was having. He did enter a Recovdry Facility on his own and before his public exposure.
2. In the Recovery community, we do not put any conditions on admission. The most important moment of any addict’s life is when he finally realizes he has a problem, the conditions that caused that realization to come about do not enter into it. Once they have admitted thier problem, the addict should be supported, not chastised and shamed like a 4 year old who touces his pee pee. Everytime chastises or denigrates on addict, especially the more “famous” ones, they cause another 50 to go back and hide their problem in their drug of choice.
3. Ted Kennedy killed a woman due to his disease, Rush Limbaugh got publicly embarrased. if that oulbic embarrasment is what caused him to make his admission, I congratulate him…if only to make the stark comparison between the benefits of his doing so as opposed to someone who chooses to continue in his disease Like Teddy did after Mary Jo’s funeral.
The funny thing was the guy who came last nite and said he was a lurker actually lurked at the bar!
C’mon Mike, we know you’re watching! Say something!
#43 sarge - understood and agreed. Thanks for the follow-up info.
#30 neocon
Ditto your comment. That was fun meeting everybody. Thank God I had my designated driver, Jeff, with me.
Gregg –
“Spare the rod……spoil the child”…just sayin’
#42 I bet she pulls out the “Race Card”
#28
Aren’t the responses from the perverts on those Dateline stings great?
“Uh, I wasn’t gonna do nutin’.”
“I just came here to talk”
“Uh, I know I messed up”
“Uh, I didn’t know she was 13.” Then they are confronted with the chat transcripts.
Guess it depends on the meaning of “I wasn’t gonna do nutin”
One more thing I am ging to point out, then it’s off to Capitalist corner:
The way Liberals treat addict people in need of recovery because of the harm it does to themselves and thier family is this:
Rush Limbaugh admits his problem and gets publicly raked over the coals for it.
Ted Kennedy kills a woman driving drunk, continues as a drunk for another 35 years, is reelected every six years by the poltical machine his family controls, being patted on the back the whole time, and even sees suppport for his Presidential Candidacy.
You wonder why me entire body quivers everytime some Liberal tries to use Limbaughs admission as a hammer?
#46 Buddy
Great meeting you also; jeff is a real character and I enjoyed talking to him and hearing some of his stories.
I wasn’t too sure about his driving skills, but you’re posting so I assume he got you home safely!
Here’s a couple of letters to the editor from the Galveston Daily News, Saturday May 29th. I don’t I agree with every side sentiment expressed but I do know that both letters are capturing the frustation felt by thousands of Galveston County residents. More of my frustration comes from the fact the some of the leaders neglecting this problem are people I worked hard to get elected. I am still confident in President Bush and our overall leadership but we the GOP are failing America in our handling of the border.
We Should Take Care Of Texans First
My condolences to all those who have no health insurance.
I recently learned that, if you have no health insurance, you can no longer get the health care you need in Texas.
Most working families have little money left at the end of the month, so what do they do? This is totally ridiculous to me.
I know that services used to be provided for our residents in this state but, apparently, we are overloaded with illegal residents and others who have no insurance.
Our government seems to be punishing those residents who actually work in the lower-paying jobs, who have no insurance and are trying to provide for their families and not be a burden to anyone.
So, if you need health care, should you quit your job, work only for cash and pay no taxes, so that you could then receive benefits?
It seems that our government should find a way to provide health care for all those who are legal residents of this country.
Of course, we want to provide basic services to everyone, but maybe this idea of cheap labor has backfired on the economy of this and other states.
Take a look at who benefits from this labor force — not your average working American, for sure.
Many of those jobs that used to be done by Americans are no longer available and more jobs are being outsourced overseas in other countries.

Stop The Benefits To Illegal Immigrants
In Texas we do not have common politicians in our legislative offices. Our representatives have no common ground whatsoever, have lost all common values and most definitely have no common sense.
If a few of these self-serving elected officials would get off their cell phones, trying to look important, and represent the people who put them there, I am certain a light would come on and, wow, like a revolution, the solution would be forthcoming.
Let’s stop the education of illegal immigrants in Texas and stop asking Texas taxpayers to fund their education, their free breakfast and lunches at school.
While they are at it, they could stop their free health care and legal fees when they commit crimes against our people.
Now they are asking for more of your money to waste. Enough is enough.
Please be careful and study your candidate before you vote. Let’s can these no-common-sense politicians.

You comment on Rush Limbaugh.
Limbaugh was not afforded anything more that has not been offered to street folks, common folks, middle aged folks, old folks, sports figures, lawyers, entertainers, clergy, truck drivers, poor men, rich men, congressmen, senators etc.
You are way off base with the suggestion that his influence garnered him favor. In fact in Florida it is written law that first timers are afforded a second chance if they are actively seeking help.
Here Ya go,

I do want to thank the folks at the BHH yesterday. I was glad I was able to stop by, but if it wasn’t so close to work and (mostly) on the way home I wouldn’t have been able to. Perhaps if we can have one in Katy, Rosenberg, or Richmond I’ll be able to stop by for more that 15 minutes.
It was a bit of an education, though. The last time I was on that part of Barker Cypress there was noting between 290, which was 4 lane blacktop then) and Little York except a stop light at 529.

I got it Phil…trying to make people free from tyranny is a bad idea, we should never try because it never works….
Do us all a favor look up what happened in these years:
1776, 1836, 1945
Never mind…I’ve seen your posts, so here goes:
1776: The British colonies in North America declared thier Independence from Britain, eventually establishing a nation dedicated to certain principals of Freedom that has lasted over 225 years now. But seeing as how it was done by humans and the change was only temporary (as your article states) it probably wans’t worth it.
1836: A bunch of farmers in a province of Mexico declared independence from a tyranical dictator. But again, the effect of human nature that it had was only temporary, so it probably wasn’t worth it.
1945: That nation and that state helped to bring down three of the most despotic, tyrannical, and evil nation states to have existed on this planet. In the years after that war, that nation and that state were able to transform the economies and plltics of all three, and entirely transdform the cultue and religion of one of the oters.
But according to your article, none of that was worth the trouble either.
There are lots of other inspiring and instructive dates in history that blows that article and your sentiment right the frik out of the water and onto the surface of the moon…but most of the other people here know them, so I’m not going into any more detail.
Thank God you and your kind won’t ever gain the kind of following you’d need to run this country the way you want to. Even the stumble bums we have now are greatly desired over anybody who thinks that bringing freedom to oppressed people isn’t worth the time, the trouble, or the sacrifice.
My take on what President Bush should be saying on why we are in Iraq.

Rush Limbaugh underwent two unsucessful back surgeries and for a three year period, was in excruciating pain, almost to the point he couldn’t walk.
Some insider information - the Rush to Excellence tours and his TV shows were cancelled and B1 Bob dornin filled in for him almost 40 plus days because of his surgery and his recovery
Rush, today, still lives in terrible, terrible pain and soon will be confinded to a wheel chair
This wasn’t Ted cocaining a line on a table his father bought him while his nephew raped someone upstairs
this was a man in terrible pain who was sick and tired and too busy to keep going to the doctor once a week (OxyContin is one of the most controlled prescription medicines) to get prescriptions filled -
Who still went to work

Actually Phil, I havent bothered with you because, well, you have never done anything but Bash without facts
The illegal problem is three fold
1. The democrats Discovered in 1994 that they could turn California, Arizona and New Mexico Donkey by having open borders and the MOTOR VOTER BILL
2. The democrats in 1993 omnibus bill added illegals to medicare, medicaid, welfare and social security
3. The Republicans can be held to task for failing to build a wall - but you just wait until they try - you will see riots in the streets
You’re an intelligent guy, you know can read, you chose a different path
DELETED UNWARRENTED PERSONAL ATTACK
Eric Johnson
Proof? Where is your source for that statement. The man plays golf on a regular basis.
Golf is not a sport that one who is “soon to be confined to a wheelchair” plays.
Nothing unites a nation more than a common language and culture.
National anthem in Spanish is another kick in our butts by the future masters of this country.
Prevention is better than cure, border crisis has been steadily growing for a long time but our elected officials refused to address this issue in the past, it may be little late now.
In another 25 years or so Spanish will be the language of commerce in these United States and I feel sorry for our grand children if they could not speak Spanish they will be reduced t0 picking lettuces in Californian sun.
Let history be our witness that politicians of today have sold our country to the enemy.
It makes me laugh that we are fighting terrorism in remote part of the world while our home is constantly raided by another kind of enemy equally intense and destructive.
Sqauwk,
He can barely walk, he plays golf only under medication my source Anne Coulter, Rush Limbaugh and David Limbaugh
Look he has degenerated disks 3 of them one is enough to cause a lifetime of misery
Post the source.

Phil is usualy spot on.
But that doesnt fit in your mind set of republican good democrat bad..
Sorry man.
Unwarranted?
our President is a cacaphoney of complaints
David has banned people for that type of language many a time so has Kevin and others
Phil’s welcome to make statements but the long slick jorge, or the lying white shark
Come’on SBN show some recip
as they say in the hood
Rush Limbaughs address before rehab
The court Documents
Coulters two conversations and David Limbaughs column and conference call
Rush has been and still is being medicated he is not addicted, never was, he just thought he could prescribe himself

Only in your dreams Phil’s
Eric Johnson
Kevin does not moderate this blog and David has never banned anyone for the comments you point out.
And finally personal attacks on other commenters is forbidden.
Get it? Got it? Good.
Post the sources Eric. You have told me nothing that says he is near being wheelchair bound.
Eric Johnson
You are once again NWOR
Squawk,
you’re being argumentative, not attacking you
also, what were you trying to get at by posting that Rutgers Historians opinion article about a war she hasn’t observed and a country she hadn’t studied?
I was just curious are you now for the war, against the war, what?
Also name calling is allowed for Bush but not for name callers?
Double stndard?
I think Phils over the top with the name calling
Look, God Bless Squawk
If your really curious what David and Anne and Rush will say contact them they will reply, it takes a couple of weeks
But they will reply
Also be careful what you say they will sue you immediately and David so be very very careful how you word your inquiry and what you post
Rush’s lawyers are quick, well educated and very very aggressive.
85
Really?
Eric
Bwahahahaha like those people care what I say. Nice try though.
You posted the premise I asked for YOUR sources to be posted. You did not. Oh and BTW I heard Rush’s original admission of addiction on his radio show when this story broke and he was entering rehab.
You are still NWOR.
#39 - I have it on good authority that Matt drank some of that Kool-Aid before he left.
Here is Rush’s admission to his addiction to prescription pain medication from October 10, 2003.
http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/10/10/rush.limbaugh/
Dear Squawk with all due respect
http://radio.about.com/library/bllimbaughstatement.htm
“I first started taking prescription painkillers some years ago when my doctor prescribed them to treat post surgical pain following spinal surgery.
“Unfortunately, the surgery was unsuccessful and I continued to have severe pain in my lower back and also in my neck due to herniated discs. I am still experiencing that pain. Rather than opt for additional surgery for these conditions, I chose to treat the pain with prescribed medication. This medication turned out to be highly addictive.
“Over the past several years I have tried to break my dependence on pain pills and, in fact, twice checked myself into medical facilities in an attempt to do so
Also my grandfather who built homes in Chicago’s Suburbs died from backpain its a killer. I know from personal experience it only gets worse if it can’t be operated on its a degenerative disease
Now I know you’re trying to keep me in line and I appreciate that I will get you a reply in person from David Limbaugh give me two weeks

Roys backkkkk. This is what I call the real deal of activism. God Bless Roy Warden!
Mexican Flag Burner Warns Tucson City Council: “I’ll Be Back in Armory Park on Monday!”
Roy Warden
4/28/06 Tucson
“I’ll be back in Armory Park on May 1”, warned Mexican Flag Burner Roy Warden today, in spite of a statement issued by Assistant Tucson City Manager Liz Miller. “You can tell the Mexican Nationals, the Mexican Consulate and Open Border Activists: I will be there!”
Warden said he doesn’t care about the permit acquired by those who support illegal Mexican Nationals. “The Supreme Court says to require a permit to enter public property and engage in lawful protest is an act of prior restraint on free political speech and impermissible. These people can take their permit and shove it.”
Warden, arrested three times for lawful political activities within the last two years , has successfully defended himself on the two prior occasions. “I beat Barbara LaWall two times and this time I’ll beat Alan Merritt. He’s a hack.”
All I asked from you is a source.
No where does he say he is near wheel chair bound….he has said he was addicted and how he became addicted.
The source above will suffice. But hey if you can get me a few autographs I’d be happy.
Oh btw I don’t require the “all do respect” stuff. Just state your case that will suffice. I don’t take exchanges or differences of opinion as a personal affront.
Bsue,
That wasn’t the whole statement also any doctor will tell you that some prescription drugs are by nature totally addictive that’s why he got tired of going to the doctor every week!
Morphine, codeine, many many drugs are addictive, its not a weakness they’re powerful drugs - it doesn’t mean they are abusers like Ted, Bill they are being TREATED for EXCURCIATING PAIN
I know its hard to admit that we could have been wrong but he was facing 15 YEARS in PRISON for buying drugs FROM TWO DOCTORS
That was low scummy and outrageous
Anything to get him off the air
Anything
do you think he lost all that weight and his hearing because he was hitting 600 golf balls a day
he was on severe pain medication that causes dizzyness, vomiting and loss of appetite
With these facts I’d personally temper my remarks, I hope you and Squawk and others don’t ever, ever have the pain like Rush and My Grandfather its terrible
Can someone explain the Texans pick? I have tried to rationalize every conceivable option and I just shake my head. Cant wait for Academy to start selling Mario Willimas jerseys.If they didnt want Bush then VY was the next logical pick. Local kid etc. This city has a football curse.
I think the Dome and now Reliant Center was built on a sacred indian burial ground.
You obviously did not read my posts above so I will move on. If you want to know my feelings on the Limbaugh case READ the little black words I typed and the exchange that prompted my response.
On the War in Iraq. Read what I posted word for word. No where in it is there any indication that DR. Klinghoffer or myself disagree with the war in Iraq only the reasons we are given by the administration.
With all due respect
Also what’s with that author? Man that was 2003 thing are totally different,I don’t know what she was advocating, should the USA put their own brutal dicator in power allied with us or did she think Saddam was best
I really didn’t understand where she was going

Now THAT is a plausible theory
The money quote in response to my #104 post.
“We already have a permanent checkpoint — the U.S.-Mexico border,” Kolbe said in a prepared statement released by his office.
FTAA is being installed! That my friends is no conspriacy!
Eric - I don’t mean to seem like I am being argumentative. Perhaps I should have referenced the quote that I posted as being in reference to your statement in post #83:
As to this statement of yours:
I know that it was NOT the whole statement. That is one reason for posting the link - so you can see the entire statement and see it in its original context.
You may have seen some “chidings” of commenters to shorten their comments, provide the “money quote” and provide a link to the rest - well, I took those chidings to heart.
I will openly state here that I admire Rush Limbaugh’s battle with addictions. I pray that his battle is successful, and he is able to continue with his brilliant career. I do not believe that repeating his words, admitting that he was addicted was an attack on him, and I am sorry that you believed that it was.
The oilers are looking to get next years first round pick so they can take Adrian Peterson.
Say Eric J:
I hold Slick Sharky Bush II to higher standard because he passed himself off as the man who was going to bring dignity back to the White House.
Now, six years later he has failed to uphold his Oath of office and he is letting the country be invaded at a record pace and not only that he endorses the law breaking by everything I’ve heard him say.
He has also adopted Slick Willie I as his “Brother”.
Now I ask you. If Slick Willie I were the president with the exact same illegal alien problem and in a post 9/11 world and I was saying the exact same things that I say about Sharky Bush, would you like what I say or not?
I guarantee you if Slick Willie I were prez many of you who say I am a “Bush Basher” would be in my corner and if he were president right now I would be posting the same comments.
The Repubs used to accuse the Slick Willie I supporters of being intellectually dishonest.
Well in my opinion, the shoe is on the other foot now. Since it is a fact that Sharky Bush II is violating his Oath of Office, according to Article IV section IV of the US Constitution, I guess I should give him a pass because he ran a as Republican? He should have run as a cheap labor globalist on Vicente Fox’s ticket because that is what we have in office now. He represents Mexico’s interests, not the majority of the American people who elected him.

Bsue
The drug is addictive the FIRST pill you take, whether its prescribed or not or whether you are in pain or not
I’m sorry i can’t convey tone of voice I’m not admonishing at all or upset with you in anyway
He has a serious health problem with intense pain in his back and neck
He medicates himself so he can live as close to a normal life as possible
He tries to play golf, Football players have played with degenerative discs its a terrible problem, his isn’t treatable though its not responsive to drugs, surgery etc.
Please acept my apologies I’m just listening to someone talking about Rush and a guy already in jail as being the culture of corruption again
Phil,
Do you have an argument? a fact, anything but the same repetative yawning talking points over and over again?
Where you that guy who hands out the sheets in front of the library about the Bush Family and some global conspiracy every Saturday?
Where is your evidence?
Squawk asked for some got it instantly and more is on the way
where’s yours? What do you have?
BTW never called Clinton names
didn’t need to
#110 Eric J
As someone who has worked in the medical profession for the better part of 30 years, I may understand more about addiction, and also about intractable pain, than I pray you ever have cause to understand.
As to your #98 about tempering my remarks, in my #93, I made no remarks - merely described what I was quoting, posted the quote, and provided the link.
Apology accepted.
Not to lighten the atmosphere, or change the subject, but what the heck is a 62 year old “strolling bone” doing climbing a palm tree?
Why do you all even answer Eric Johnson? Why not just let him rant and be done with it?

Yeah! Listen to Kraut!
