Aha! I finally found you all! Can't get rid of me that easy. Nice to see all the familiar screen names again! Thanks, NG.
Hello sunshine! Glad you can make it…
Hi Chi! Thanks! It's nice to be back amongst the "original players" from the Bigs. I still go there and comment, but it's kinda sad to see alot of articles with single-digit comment totals. I don't like Disqus much. But, glad to be here!
I was still stopping by out of some misguided loyalty to Andrew but that all changed when I found this place. Make sure you poke around here and you will get the feel quick. Navy has done a great job and don't forget you can post here and the linked site at the same visit. This is like a one stop shop. It is the only time I go back to the Bigs.
Hi sunshine…haven't seen you around in a while. Hope all is well. Stop by Navy Gent's when you get a chance…
Hi ChiTT. Thanks for reaching out. Things started going bad at work a while ago (McDonough Associates – it was in all the local papers) and then I lost my job in the beginning of July. So I've been feeling a bit down – only skimming headlines, not participating much, just giving thumbs up or down. I think it will help to get back into Navy Gent, though! Hope you're doing well yourself!
McDonough eh. I still think Rahm had his hand in that. Maybe he didn't think the kickbacks were big enough or he is moving in his own "friends of Rahm". I know of a few of Daley's "people" that are now getting squeezed by Rahm. Oh well, I didn't care before but now that I know you were dragged down by this I feel bad. Hopefully you will be back on your feet soon. I know it may not be much but we are here for you if you need an ear to bend. As far as me…I have been out of work for over 3 1/2 years so…I'm doing great.
Best wishes…
p.s. …and stop thumbing me down! ;-D
I agree about Rahmbo's influence, but ever since my conservative "awakening" not too long ago (2006-ish), I hated working for a Daley-owned company anyway. All the comments I saw in the Trib & Sun Times from people that said McD deserved it, I agreed with! It just sucks that the big guys at the top are still there raking in the $$, while engineers like me, who actually did good work and had no idea about the corruption, are jobless. So F 'em!
Anyway, now that I have all this time and the money saved up to take alot of time off, I should try to get involved more, especially in this election year. Are there any local orgs/tea parties you would recommend?
3 1/2 years? I'm sorry. Can I ask what you do? Or would like to do? I might have connections.
Best wishes to you too, and I would never thumb down a Chi-Town resident daring to tell the truth.
What do I do? That is a good question. In my former life I was a union sprinkler fitter. I guess you could say, like you, I worked for a Daley owned company (the union) and people said they deserved it, but I didn't agree. Now all the big guys at the top are still raking in the $$, while fitters like me, who actually did the work are jobless. One difference between us…I had an idea about the corruption. (sorry for the plagiarism…I'm hoping to catch on at CNN)
As far as my current occupation…let's just say I fell into a pile of poop and came out smelling like a rose. I lost my job two weeks before Christmas and my only son was born a month later. I was lucky enough to be able to be home with my wife during her maternity leave and when the leave was over…I became a stay at home Dad/Mom. I'm kind of like a nanny but for less money. I call myself "the Manny". (I also like "stay at home Tom".) My wife is a mid level V.P. for a large company here in the north suburbs so we are lucky we can swing this type of lifestyle. Eventually I will go back to pipe fitting but our local still has 500 guys out of work (out of 1200 members) and there are no signs of things picking up anytime soon. Many of my former work mates have lost their houses and/or had their lives turned upside down. I won't go back until everyone that wants to work…is back working. I tell my liberal friends that I am trying to make up for all the years that men held women back so I'm letting my wife bring home the bacon and I fry it up in a pan. It's only fair!!!
As you can guess…I'm a little busy right now to be an activist but I do preach the conservative gospel to all that will listen. I think Chicago Ralph might have some Tea Party connections though…
p.s. After you take some well deserved time off and if finding work is slow make sure you let me know…I might know a person or two. (Connections…it's the Chicago Way!)
Well, I'm sorry about your job, but it certainly DOES sound like you're smelling like a rose now! That must be so nice to spend all that time with your little boy. Congratulations on that, by the way!! I'm glad you & your family can make it work, since there's still an income. I'll eventually have to go back to work when my savings get low (or I get way too bored), unless I find Prince Charming pretty soon! Haha.
Well, I'm headed up to WI for a little while, why not while I have the time. Thanks for chatting and I will definitely take you up on your offer if I can't find anything after actually trying. Take care and see you around Navy Gent!
Raising the boy is great. I could be doing worse. Enjoy your vacation and I'll see you around.
Welcome home…
Disqus is disqusting!
Thanks! And agreed.
Greetings, Lonely.
Thanks for the lowdown! That's cool about the double-posts. I go to the Bigs for Andrew, too, but there are so many screen names I don't recognize, and the trolls seem to have taken over to some extent. I really like that Navy has the dedication tab to Andrew to reassure that it's not "traitorous" or something to come here. This site is what Andrew was all about (IMHO).
"This site is what Andrew was all about (IMHO)."
Yes.
It is.
I can't remember if i ever posted on this particular thread. I think i may have, but as a reply to someone elses post. That being said, i just want to take this opportunity to thank Navy Gentleman (again), for all the work he does providing this forum for us to converse, share our thoughts, and keep fighting the "good fight". We are all fortunately blessed to be able to share our thoughts and express our opinions on any and all subjects that we deem to be fit……………………..and even a few we deem unfit.
That's what freedom of speech is all about. You may not like or agree with what's being said………but you should respect ones right to say it.
Keep up the excellent work Navy Gentleman. Your effort does not go un-noticed or unappreciated.
Again, Thank You & God Bless you and yours…………………always. chopper.
I don't know if you take suggestions for things to post or not, so I'm going to post a link for your consideration.

Thanks, Jeff.
So this is where all of you are hiding.
Yes! We'd been waiting for you! Tag, you're it!!!
I do not play kid's games.
So a serious stinker are we? We all play "kid's games" though not all of us are grownup enough to realize it. Take life too seriously and you may not make it out alive.
You mean kids' games. Or are you talking about just one kid? If that is the case, you should have typed, "I do not play the kid's games." Does that make sense, or should I explain it in further detail? That's a rhetorical question, by the way, so don't wait around for an answer if you are indeed too dumb to figure it out on your own.
You also have a habit of using 'what' when referring to people. You should use 'who.' For example, "Collectivists who can't differentiate their asses from a hole in the ground ……," and not, "Collectivists that can't differentiate their asses from a hole in the ground ……"
As far as the points you are trying to make with your semi literate comment history, it is obvious that you're either an idiot or a liar, so there isn't much of a point in attempting to debate with you.
I normally don't play the role of grammar nanny, but seeing as how you're a condescending little prick WHO is not half as smart as he/she thinks he/she is, I just couldn't resist. You may now return to your role of irrelevant attention seeker.
Ok, one misplaced apostrophe and charges of numerous grammatical errors. I note that you provided an example but not one sample. Typical.
"I am supporting the President that finally brought affordable health care to all. I am supporting the President that has turned around the economy and put it into recovery. I am supporting the President that is protecting our environment. I am supporting the President that is reducing our dependence on oil." 13 weeks ago. Breitbart TV.
How about four samples from a single comment? Again, rhetorical.
Also, the thoughts contained within that comment are the thoughts of someone who is either an idiot or a liar.
I was just looking at your comment history,
and this doesnt look promising.
Oh well, new site, we'll give this a go.
Everyone deserves a fair shake.
Welcome to NG.com
Say Hi on the open thread- that's the hang out right now.
I am looking around. You are right. It doesn't look very promising. I gave up fraternity sports a long time ago. I haven't seen any real debate here yet. Just a lot of backslapping.
Not every blog has to be Debate Central 24/7. But if you have something worthwhile to say, then say it.
Bring something interesting and you might get some debate. I skimmed your archive and you appear to be an average collectivist criminal whose brain is less drug addled than your typical peer… You could be interesting, but your philosophy will cost you every argument or debate. People here (mostly) believe in individualism… This place could use a decent resident troll. Good luck with that…
Average? Not in the least. Collectivist? You probably mean humanitarian, but most conservatives are limited in their vocabulary and can only use labels. Criminal? Like maybe libelous?
To continue, I have no peer and I do not use drugs.
I will endeavor to convince you of your error and likely will succeed.
Good luck.
That is one of the funniest responses…ever.
I'm glad to see you Red47. It seemed kind of slow here while you were away.
I brought my wooden spoon to stir the pot.
Perfect!
A mind is a terrible thing to waste and all I need is an open one, but so hard to find.
So far, we are in agreement…
Make yourself at home and let me know if I can be of any assistance.
Well, looky here! Seems our very own government minder from the Uuhhhbama for
AmerikaHimself collective has come here to congratulate himself for grokking us. Wonder of wonders, this one is actually capable of correct spelling, grammar and syntax. How… superficially brilliant! Come gather round and see the anomaly, patriots!Did your astrologer predict you'd say that… and is resistance futile, too? Answer up quickly, now, and please be careful to think for yourself for once in your hopelessly dependent life. Stand and deliver, socialist!
Already there are assumptions made about who and what I am. As I said, open minds are hard to find. There are democrats and there are republicans; conservatives and liberals, Obama lovers and Obama haters. Then there is me and there is you. I am finding out a lot more about you than you are finding out about me. Care to guess who will eventually win?
Lining up the "Polish death camps" for us thought criminals, are you?
Not criminal nor are death camps necessary. I do not even espouse reeducation camps either. We have high schools where the truth is taught. We no longer teach that it was our manifest destiny to kill all those 'mean' Indians and all cowboys are Roy Rogers. You will grow old and we will still teach your children's children the better way.
Too bad, so sad for you: Your collectivist wet dream is going to plummet to the ground in a spectacular, Hindenburg-like explosion on November 6, Grad School Queen. That's the day the American people are going to humiliate Bonzo out of the Oval Office and toss Obamaism onto the ash heap of history, just like humanity discarded Hitlerism and Stalinism before it. It is our fervent hope that it won't take yet another world war to convince you nationalist-socialists of the error of your ways. Do not mistake our weariness for a lack of resolve, however: We stand ready to do so if we must.
If I were you, socialist, I'd start hedging my bets by dusting off that resume. Oh, and by the way: You might just want to omit any mention of what you were doing from October 2011 through November 2012. You see, admitting that you actually worked for a failure who got blown out of the Oval Office worse than Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis combined is about to become as popular as smokers inside restaurants these days. So, why not just man up right now and admit in writing that your "advanced" degree in socialist indoctrination qualified you for nothing better than being a seven-twenty-five-an-hour cashier at 7-Eleven, yes?
How much thought did it take to write so many words?
You should feel right at home here, comrade. Heck, I'll even buy one for you. It'll be amusing to watch as you puzzle over the thing for hours, Marx style.
See? You do like games! We got bingo on Wednsday night. But if you're looking for genius on terminology you can get that 'most any time of the day or night. This is ABOUT and you've given us a clear picture of what you're about. I'll reiterate what my friends say- GOOD LUCK! Seriously hope you brought your game with you troll.
There are several here who would truly welcome even this troll actually throwing in. So far, it talks. Talk is cheap and easy. Living in a top ski resort taught me at least one important lesson in life: The guys who talk most about how well they can ski are the guys who aren't good skiers.
This poor troll…
The old saying certainly applies here, Red: "Those who do, don't say. Those who say, don't do."
I knew there had to be a truism out there somewhere. Thanks.
Not a troll, a jötunn. But I do like trolling for conservatives. They are much easier to catch than Stripers. It is in all the bait that is used. Of course, some say stripers are smarter.
Go Play! You got a personal invitation from NG to enter his sandbox, and here you sit at the front door. You waiting for somebody to take your hand? Or are you not smart enough to know there some real debate potential in the articles Navy Gentleman collects?
He took the bait and now I will reel him in. Twenty five replies and they are all coming to my lair. Patience friend, you will like the net.
Answered my question. Nope not smart enough. You'll never make it here.
You asked two questions. Note the 's'' at the end? Ok, No, I am not waiting for someone to hold my hand. Yes, I am smart enough to know there is some real debate potential. Shame there isn't any. Does that satisfy your curiosity?
There are giants here as well so beware.
Do you reign from Norway or Norfolk?
http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2012/05...
Did you see this throwdown between Sununu and Soledad? He really caught her out again and again. It explains the low ratings.
I did see it but the only thing I learned from it was that Soledad goes to bed early.
One would expect her to look a little fresher being that she gets so much sleep…
I learned that she doesn't know how to cover when someone catches her out on using talking points.
It was a simple play on words. Some giants here, sure. I am looking for one. I slay giants as a past time, but there is one I want.
Good luck.
Every stripper I ever knew was working her way thru college.
However, IF you're having trouble catching one, here is what you'll need:
1. a 3'x'3'x2' box
2. a 2' stick with a "Y" on one end
3. about 10' of rope or paracord.
4. a 6" diameter mirror
5. 3oz of blow
Go to the alley behind the strip club.
Prop one end of the box up with the stick.
Place the blow on the mirror, and place both under the box.
Tie the rope to the stick and carry the other end with you as you hide.
Yell "Free coke!!!"
Pull the rope when the stripper goes under the box to get to the blow.
Let me know if you need a diagram.
Happy hunting!!
Ah, sorry, you got lost in my email somehow… I'm not a conservative. I'm not a Republican, though I am a republican. I'm not a Christian, nor religious, nor an atheist. Humanitarian? Yes, that is how you sell your criminal collectivist code to the unwary idiots. I know that game better than you do.
You will convince me of nothing. I already know you don't believe in humanity, what else do I need to know? Don't bore me with the details, please… High-falutin' FAIL is what you are…
I will endeavor to convince you of your error and likely will succeed.
No, you won't. Not so long as you use words without being able to understand them.
I was just looking at your comment history,
and this doesnt look promising.
…took him about 13 weeks to "find" this place after the Big sites switched commenting apps?
Yeah, not very promising.
Well, you found us, so either:
1) We're not very good at hiding
2) We're not trying to hide
3) You are exceptionally good at finding us.
Ummm.. I'm betting on (2).
By the way, the reason I don't think it's (1) or (3) has something to do with google. If you don't know how to use it, you can google that too.
'Well, you found us, so either:'
I never said I was looking. If you were at all observant you would know I said, "So this is where all of you are hiding.'
I stumbled on this site like I might come across a decaying carcass in the road.
Hmmm… If you were at all observant, you would know I said "you found us". I never said you were looking. You did, however, find us (however that came about). Do you deny that you found us? You would have to delete all your posts and change all the memories of everyone who has seen them to do that.
You can google google?
Damn! There is a piece of meat stuck in my teeth.
Standing by the front door Yelping like a hound dog hopin' for scraps. You ain't as much fun as you think you are.
A carnivore, yes. No yelping here.
Ok, whining. I like that better anyways.
So you are the antithesis of LibertyWriter. Come to squash him like a bug eh? He don't hang out in the About section so good luck with that hound dog. If you do find him you may have to find an AVI with a foot in your mouth…..
Y'all must have been pretty bored last night to indulge TrannyRyter for 47 exchanges. That's nearly 20% of his entire online life, all in one weeknight. Better that he would join a bowling league.
I may be an old dog, but I still like my chew toys.
;-D
If had known that y'all were staying up late to play, I wouldn't have gone to be so early! If Trala-lala-typer comes back for some more grammatical playtime I'll try to stay up and gnaw along. He was a well spoken lurker, as trolls go.
This is my favorite time of year when the sun comes up WAY early so we usually go to bed early and get up around 04:15 – 04:30. One of these days I hope to do that midnight sun thing in Norway.
@SpaceRacer423
Good Morning
Great site. Nice to have another place to go.
"positive thoughts and actions yield positive results"
Welcome CptnJ…
Attention…all old Breitbart posters…
I started to follow you (or re-follow) in an attempt to direct you to a site created by a fine man you might know as Navy Gentleman. The site has attracted many of the old Breitbart site posters. As we try to get the word out about this site we have been discussing some of our friends that have yet to find their way here. Your name popped up in our discussions and this was the only way to reach out to you. So hit the link on my post, take a peek around and reunite with some old friends. We have been waiting for you…
p.s. Also, welcome back to Intense Debate. You can thank me later!
I like this site, bookmarked.
Hello Keltic, congrats on holding WI, this site was definitely rooting for you. Glad you found your way here, did you hang on the Disqus Bigs? That just didn't work for "debaters". Navy Gentleman made a great site here, easy to maneuver and good threads just keep going. Hope to see you around.
I still post on Bigs & Fox & The Madison newpapers, but missed alot of the posters that seem to be here. Always something to learn in this crowd & a few good links.
Thanks for the welcome aboard, I will be here often.
Welcome…
Read Ulsterman's Military Insider interrviews, posted in the last week. 7/23/12
Whoa! what a site! Looks promising.
Thank you, Roger, for hipping me to it.
Well it's about time you got here. Put on your thinking caps, warm up that keyboard…
We got work to do here at The Arm Chair Patriots Brigade
oh, by the way, Welcome!!!
I am grateful to find this site. I have many friends here who have broadened my perspective and who I admire and respect.i look forward to catching up with everyone, making new friends and sharing in the discussions. FYI, haitwgov is about to become an honest man. Finding all of my online friends and then proposing to the woman of my dreams in the same day…luckiest guy in the world!! Now if we can make Zero one and done…trifecta for me.
