I don't care about his history with alcohol. It only matters as a personal struggle in his own life. I don't care other than to say that if overcoming it has strengthened him as a human being then I am grateful for the change for his sake.

---

Then ya might wanna go back and remove your "Thumbs Up" approval of The Nevadan's stupid comment about it.

---

For such a sarcastic guy you seem to not grasp it when you see it.

Troll Alert.

Ad Hominem Alert

Thread Highjack Alert

if it looks like a troll, walks like a troll, and posts like a troll, the odds are excellent it's a troll.

Don't feed the troll.

It thrives on being a disruptive, chaos creating, attention hog.

So, I guess it is true. Cedric is not all that great.

The splintering was referring to we the people, the voters. Democrats stand together, conservatives splinter. There is no united "we" stand. Naturally many of those in power lean toward the majority. So in no small way many of us are in fact participating in our own destruction. From the base up we are weaker than they are. And proudly so

---

Weaker? Hell yes, we're weaker.

They are spending us into a national emergency where we could be destroyed by outside forces. Obamacare and immigration reform are meant to weaken us further.

They have allowed the president to use drones to kill people while the legislature entertains the notion of disarming citizens. They have given the president the power to indefinitely detain any citizen that he chooses to.

Then they allow the Saudi and the Tsarnevs to run loose without monitoring them closely enough.

And when the swat teams tore through the houses in Massachusetts during the manhunt how many people thought that it was surreal?

It's only surreal if you forget that at the airport the TSA has the power to place their hands on the skin underneath your elderly grandmother's blouse so that she may have the privilege to travel to see the great-grandchildren at Christmas.

Clearly we are now discussing two different issues as it slowly happens so often here. I'll stop just to save the others from actually calling the site owner a troll

These discussions always drift and I can never quite figure out why. I see how, but am a lightweight, and not smart enough to reign it in.

Let the piles on's begin.....oh wait, they already have whoo-hoo.

---

All I have is one vote, Justme . That's what it boils down to.

They have lobbyists, money, strategy, party loyalty, and the American flag that they wrap themselves in as they campaign for office.

I can't compete, so I stopped playing.
