I'm trying to get a not-so-coded message through to ActinUp. I am being flagged. Guess what? Sent via The Daily Caller. We should see her soon.
Well, this is interesting. Looks like an after party! After the loss of Andrew.
I was primarily a Big Hollywood commenter, not so much on BG, and I still check out their new effort regularly, but this seems like a nicer focus on the issues at hand. I hope to be able to share some insights with you all. Good to recognize a lot of the names I've been missing over there lately.
Whoever you are, feel welcome.
Consider this an After the Wake Party, Party.
We never were invited, so we threw our own.
Just starting to poke around, getting the lay of the land. My time isn't as available as it once was, so it may take me a short while to get rolling. But roll we shall. Thanks for putting this together.
I didn't.
I just help out a bit.
Sweepin' up n' such.
>>>>>>> Clean up on aisle 5>>>>> Clean up on aisle 5 please!
Well, that thanks was a general open thanks to everyone who had a hand in this. I guess the biggest tip of the hat goes to the Navy Gentleman, so that's that.
I have seen your avitar and your comments back in the past over at Nolte's Big Hollywood.
I was reading and commenting since day 1.
I heard about Big Hollywood after it was up and running for about a month or so. I never commented there in the beginning, as I did not fit in with that clique. I respected Andrew for what he was doing, and Nolte's articles were decent. Then Larry O'Connor came along and started the Stage Right Show, and the "HCP". I used to listen to Larry's show in the evenings and enjoyed it.
When Andrew rolled out Big Government, I was there from day one, from the first thread forward. I really enjoyed it. I even went over and posted at Big Hollywood, but the clique showed me right quick that they didn't want any outsider heathens crashing their party, and banned me from posting.
We have all seen a lot.
We have all hopefully learned a lot.
I know I have.
Hasn't been too much on the entertainment stuff- The main focus of the site seems to be political, as we're all pretty concerned about the condition of the country BUT there has been some outragious threads that have done everything but stay on topic!
The Open Topic is very active here- and as no topic is suggested, there's plenty of leeway there..
I love it here. Certainly a new home- this house that Navy Gentleman built!
The entertainment stuff is what attracted me to the BIGs. Andrew had his fingers on the intersection where culture and politics met, and that fascinated me as I've been in the Hollywood environment my whole adult life. I eventually started to read a lot of the BG posts, even though I wasn't commenting so much. The state of the country is the hot spot these days, so that's what I'm more interested in reading about and putting in my two cents worth with those of like mind.
Sorta a new ship of state, (g)
Well, hello there, sailor!
Nice place. Needs a few throw pillows, of course, and softer lighting, but the company is excellent!
Hello Joan.
Welcome.
From what you just described, you want to decorate it and make it look like a Bourbon Street Bordello.
Have at it.
Thanks Cowboy.
Bordello? I said nothing about tassels. . .
Thanks my friend, you made me laugh.
Welcome. I am glad to see you here. I like your sense of funny.
I thankee. Gotta laugh, else I'll cry.
I found, in my travels, that residents on a small island ruled by a Dictator make the funniest jokes about their plight.
Holy Mackerel! That didn't take long! I just left you a message about 8 minutes ago!
Welcome aboard, Joaney!
Being jobless means I have time for social reconnoitering.
)
You are not jobless, you have come to work with the armchair brigade…
Heh. Much good may it do us, while free speech lasts.
It is always a pleasure to see your post and I look forward to seeing what you have to say about the news as we head into this election. It is a huge deal and we have our work cut out for us between now and November.
Let me know if there is anything I can help you with.
I really like it here; nice to see so many familiar names.
However, I will soldier on at Breitbart (and come here for respite) because it has the attention of the MSM and its trolls. And trolls make my day! I need the target practice to keep my aim sharp and my mind focused.
I was born under a bellicose star, I'm afraid.
It's a small aggravation to use Disqus when compared to our fight for freedom. I'll use whatever, wherever and say it loud and without shame: Socialism is NOT my national heritage.
Many of us do the same. Since the BB fiasco, I found a bigger world out there that use disqustin' and have availed myself to spreading the word to a larger audience. Here, you can do much of the same thing without moving out of your chair. The Navy has always been the smartest military service.
Note that you can still comment on the Disgust threads of Breitbart stories linked by our host then copy and paste to your ID account on the "outside", Joan. The best of both worlds really.
Great to see you here Joan.
I always enjoy your takes on critical matters..
But I can't take DISCUS on any level…and Breitbart seems so disorganizied..
Argghh !!!
I thought this was an all mens club!
Don't worry, it's not like we have to share a bathroom or anything.
)
Me too, Joan.
(Actually, I'm just following you and OCP around. Try not to get me in too much trouble, okay? I have my reputation to consider).
Navy Gentleman… Thank you for putting this site together. When the bigs dropped ID I was lost and disgusted with Disqus and the “new” crowd of people just isn’t the same. It is so good to see the old crowd and read their posts.
Thanks for dropping by sourdough.
Come on back and say hi every now and then.
If you need anything just let me know!
Thanks, Navy Gent.
I'm pretty tech-challenged, but even I can tell you've put a lot of effort into this.
Much appreciated.
—JoeInMichigan
Ahhh there you are! I've been dropping hints like crazy!
)
I thought you were dissin' me!
Yeah. I'm, uh, kinda slow. OCP finally hit me over the head with a tire iron. Great to see you in your ID clothes again, Nick. I'd forgotten what a handsome devil you are.
LOL! You would be surprised to know how accurate that avi is! Or, maybe not!
I'd'a never knew it was you JoeIn!
Clever disguise that!!!! I used to wander around Bigs as Rotate_Right sometimes. Here I'm just li'l ol' Billlyb9.
Good to see you sir!
Same here, Billy.
Thanks!
Michigan, eh? Me too. Near the People's Republic of Ann Arbor.
I used to live in the People's Republic of A2. Now I live in Colorado–uncomfortably close to the People's Republic of Boulder, A2's little sister.
Ah-ha! I thought I recognized your brand of rhetoric!
Thank you Joe.
I finally got a reply back from tech support at Intense Debate. They told me to read the manual. I said what manual? Now I'm waiting on the reply to that question.
Gotta love tech support.
Hope you see you around, you have good comments!
Happy Easter, everyone!
Hope you had a great Easter!
It was! I won't be cooking again without help in the kitchen, though
So this is where everyone has been hiding…if I didn't know better I would have thought you kept me out of the loop on purpose.
Great site NG…
Glad you made it here. Great to see you. If you run into any of the others please send them our way.
It is hard to find everyone and you were definitely not kept out of the loop.
Make yourself at home and if you need anything, just let me know.
My first "thumbs up"…
I'm back baby!!!
Howdy!
Taxpayer1234 is in the house!!!
The Navy Gent has done good, no?
Indeed!
Howdy. This place is starting to look more and more like home.
Amazing isn't it. You don't know what you have until it's gone. This may sound sappy but I haven't felt this good in about 5 weeks…
No it doesn't, Tom.
I felt the same way when they let me come in.
This is great. I just looked at my "intense debate" page and have finally pushed those 5+ week old posts back to page two. I feel like I have a new lease on life. I'll miss the sleep I have been getting lately, but we can sleep after November.
Don't let Nick fool ya- he was almost stopped at the door! Good to see ya ChiTown!
Back at you Bb9…God bless the Navy Gent!
Billy's right! I nearly didn't pass the test.
If I didn't know better I'd think y'all had something against furriners!
I was actually hoping to keep you out…….LOL
Your snark rivals mine too much.
Welcome, I never did say it before, but you are a quick wit and a lot of fun to play with.
Here's wishing a lot of play time in the future.
Invite some more good folk.
Ot, I have been kept out of better places… (wink)
The snark is a release mechanism that keeps me from going postal. (…and by "postal" I don't mean torn up, a week late and at the wrong address)
And thanks to Barry I have plenty of time to be a smarta$$…so I should be around. (at least until November)
It is so hard to round people up. Disgus is filtering
Let's not discuss disqus…
Agreed with a grin.
Oh, there's an intro thread. Hi folks!
Greetings, Patrick. I look forward to once again reading your late night comments in the morning.
My "I've been up all night" ramblings are that good?
Well…glad to have you back anyway! (wink)
It beats reading the morning newspaper…
ChiTownTom….I have to give a big Thank You! to you for posting a link to this great site.
I am enjoying reading the articles and the best comments on the web.
Thank You – Thank You – Thank You
Beth
No need to thank me…I'm just happy you checked the site out. Enjoy!
Really? Cool- I thought I was the only one! I work late and usually I just fill up the comment stream and go to bed with no responses- Good to know we vampires might get some activity now!
And Hi! to you too, Pat.
And yes, your ramblings can be pretty intriguing!
Another one is found. Yea!
About Me.
I am a 2nd generation American. Born and raised in Brooklyn NY. All four of my Grandparents came from Newfoundland in the twenties. I am 51, married with three grown kids. I currently live on Long Island. My trade is building automation (computerized HVAC, Lighting and security control systems) mostly in the NYC tri-state area. Been with the company for 29 years now since it's start-up. Love what I do. Some of my favorite things are Blues Music, Photography, Fishing, Smoking Food on my Weber Smoker, Cooking and Bourbon. I have never served in the Military ( something I wish I could change) and have the utmost respect for those who have. I consider myself a Constitutional Conservative. Just a little insight as to who I am.
Do you enjoy walks on the beach and quiet talks for two with a nice Cabernet?
Could not resist. Nice to meet you. We are about the same age, have the same number of current spouses and some kids. I have no idea what I am or do because both boys keep me too busy to find out! I work from home and love it.
No, maybe Bourbon and staggering on the beach…………8>)
Good to know ya', Mark!
))
Being a blues fan, you might want to listen in to Nothin' But The Blues (the best damn blues show in the whole wide world!)
Sunday, 8-10pm your time here, http://915.crc.cr/ (click "escucha en vivo")
Yes it's in English. With me, Fearless Leader, as your humble host.
And to rest of you clowns reading this, damn straight it's shameless self promotion!!
Hey, good to know Nick, I bookmarked it.
Will come by to visit sometime.
BTW 8-10 here in what time zone.?
See, that's what I'm talkin' about!
Right now we're on mountain time so I'm guessing that would be 5 to 7 your time. Pacific, right? (I figured Mark is on the east coast so I added two hours for him)
My blues show is pretty straight. I don't get into much political discourse, hence the name of the show. Though, as this Sunday is Earth Day I really can't let that one go!
I save my mouthiness for my rock show during the week (Two Drink Minimum)
If you're interested, on the web page, under staff, you'll find me as Fearless Leader.
Hope to have you listen in and comment on the Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/nueveunocinco
Yup, been there and saw the pic. of you on your scooter.I love the blues and will tune in.Add the link to links with Navy.We are all in this together.
LOL, Oregon!
I don't know about linking to the station, there's really nothing to talk about there except perhaps my off the wall entries. Remember, it's a heavy metal / rock station.
However, Rivers (in the post below) has an excellent Facebook connection scheme.
I was on the Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise in January 2010 and filmed this in the crows nest during a Pro-Am Jam. http://youtu.be/QQxaFQaPCeY
Not something you see everyday
I certainly agree with that! It's probably a bitch to get that sucker around to gigs!
Thanks Navy Gentleman! So glad I found you guys! It's like coming in out of the rain! I'm trying to do something similar to a blog on facebook, to bring the Big sites and other conservative new media sources to diehard facebook users: https://www.facebook.com/Breitbrats
Mostly an aggregate of news stories, was compelled to action with Andrew's passing. Would appreciate your dropping by and giving it a like. And thanks again for doing this, you are an honorable man.
Good to see you found your way here, Rivers!
I'll drop by your Facebook site.
Thanks Nick! Good to be here. Feels like a homecoming.
Great to see you here, rivers!
Another one of our lost sheep returning to (the new) home!
Seems like every day we reconnect with another.
So happy to see Andrew's folks from the old site. Great community and better comments. Signing in under my old name in the 'guest' box until I manage to get the Intense Debate log-in bugs worked out.
Good to see you here.
Welcome.
Glad you could make it…
Good to see you again, Vick. Well, that's not exactly right. I've been looking over the wall.
)
Hi AZ!
You knew to sign in- that's great!
This sites so cool- Navy Gentleman set sail on something that has more buoyancy than the Bigs sites. Found yourself a home. The Arm Chair Patriots Brigade !
And don't forget- Wednsday night is B I N G O
Good to see you again. I look forward to talking to you more.
Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
So glad to find this site! I'll follow cowboylogic and oregontea anywhere! Momiss
Don't be a stranger. Drop in often to see what is going on.
So what is the history of this site? I see it is relatively new, many familiar faces from the Bigs websites, and a touching tribute to Andrew. Is this in response to the changes at the Bigs?
Great to see you Syrin! NavyGent started this about two months ago and we've been looking for all of our old friends!
I wondered how long it would take you to show up, Syrin.
All your questions will be answered in due time.
I'm glad you came by Syrin23. It is good to see you again.
If you have any questions just let me know.
NG,
Blog roll me and I'll recip. GREAT site and thanks for creating it.
http://www.theantiliberalzone.com
Good to see you over here, GUNNYG. You've got the best damn blog on the whole internet by the way. I look forward every day to seeing what new names you think up for all them DC asshats.
Keep up the good work.
How ya' doin' Gunny? Good to see you here!
Thanks for making it Gunny!
Good to see you GunnyG.
I'll get a link up to your site asap.
Thanks for dropping by and don't be a stranger.
Wow. Back on Terra Firma.
I was happy to catch a comment to a BB piece the other day which gave the name of this site for the old Big Gov crowd.
Thanks to Navy Gentleman for setting all this up.
I look forward to our continued discussion.
Great to have you back AZVick!
Thank you, MSM. Much appreciated.
Feels good doesn't it?
To NavyGentleman: Thank you for starting this place, and having it ready for us!
To ChiTownTom: Thank you for the invite!
Hi. I’m an American Veteran who sees RIGHT
through the person pictured here on the left: http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,166...
JoeKidd, welcome, and a big thanks for the excellent photo link…it is one of THE moments to remember why ABO.
I had never seen that picture. …and he's a SENATOR. Freak.
Great to see you JoeKidd.
It is beginning to look like old times here.
And that is a very good thing!
Wow this is getting bigger. Old friends are popping in all the time.
Nicely done Navy!
It is exciting to see all the people showing up.
I can't believe how lucky we are!
Navygentleman: This site you created is awesome. Those that know what it takes to do this appreciate what you have done, but don't shoulder the burden alone…..monetize the site, at least enough to pay the bills….just don't go the breitbart successors route and plaster the wookie all over pitching her husband. ^^
P.S. A special shout out to ChitownTom! Without him, I would still feel like a lost puppy. ^^
Hi! Glad to see you here!
I was just repaying a debt to the Navy Gentleman! ;-D
Glad to see you here Tanks,Sherman!
I'll be seeing you on the battlefield! Time for us to kick some liberal theories out of here.
Navy Gent: kudos
Thanks for the heads up ChiTownTom!
Signing in with my avi! So great to see everyone. Love the site!
Your showing up is thanks enough…
Well hello there, Lady.
Come here often.
(see, no question mark. I'm not always trollin' (as in fishin'!))
Good to see you here LadyHawk.
If there is anything I can help you with just let me know.
Greetings and salutations! It's Goo…
Hello Goo. How goes things in your part of the state?
Still crappy as ever in the insanity zone known as Seattle-Tacoma. We really need to clean house here.
Goo has entered the building- stage right. First row, please scootch down and make room- the show is about to get interesting!
Oh yes…yes it is.
Yea for Goo! How often has anyone ever said those words together?
Welcome.
Not too many, but I am happy to be able to give you the opportunity.
Kneel before Goo!
*basking in my own greatness*
better than basking in your own goo?
Goo to your room young lady!
Great to have you back!
Well, thank you!
Welcome home, Goo!
Thank you for the welcome.
GOOOO! So glad to see you!!! Welcome!
And I, you, my friend.
We've got work to do this year!
Good to see you again Goo!
Looking forward to seeing your post here. Need anything, just let me know.
Impressive site, my friend. It's good to see someone reaching out to the ID people…Breitbart is still a great site, but I admit to loving ID a bit more than Disqus. If you haven't look up Goo Gwaba on Disqus…I'm still giving the trolls Hell there.
Hallelujah! It''s great to be back among friends.
Welcome to the fold. Dive in!
Amen!
Welcome back Tomtom!
Good to see you again Tomtom29.
Make yourself at home and enjoy all the good folks here.
To all the folks I just began to "follow",
I did it for a reason. I wanted to introduce to you a new site that was very much born in the spirit and dedicated to the memory of Andrew Breitbart. It was started by a man we have all come to know as NavyGentleman. He has done a fine job putting this site together and it gets better every day. It has that old Breitbart/intense debate feel that we have all come to know and enjoy. So pull up a chair, poke around a little and meet some old friends. We have been waiting for you!
CTT
Thank you for including me, CTT!
No problem Redux. This site was too good to not pass on.
Enjoy!
Hi guys. CheesecakeLarry aka Mike Russell here. I want to thank Red47 and NevyGent for this!
I'll be busy!
Hello, Larry. Or are are you going to go by Mike, now? And didn't you used to have a prairie dog for an avatar? Talk about a change of pace.
Ahhh figured out the old password (it has been a while) Guess I'll stick with Cheesecake still.
Wow – it has been a very long time, Larry. So glad to see you here. Aren't a lot of us in the forum yet. We are trying to locate some of our other buds to join in, too.
As I recall, were you in Germany over a year ago?
Cheesecake…the good Dad!!!! Yea! Glad to see you.
Thanks DB. Just sarted checking this site out, but can we start threads, post articles and such as well here?
Oh, we won't care if you are Mike or Larry, just come on by. And Navy Gentleman has made this real easy…you will catch on, that right hand side bar is who is flapping their gums right now, and there is the neat little "jump" thing, so you can zoom in an out of threads. It isn't so much "the articles" though they put up good headlines, it really is all about the comment threads….and we don't have those old "Intense Debate" "problems" now.
Hello Mr.Cheesecake! I noticed you back at the bigs shortly before it changed. But even then I don't think too many of us were commenting enthusiastically. I think the Gentleman has captured the spirit of Breitbart (as we had all been in love with) and created this Web site.
There is a place to post links in "links"
Also Cowboy has set a challenge- though he didn't say it loud or how it was come to be but here's the link to the challeng for us to contribute as citizen journalist-
Check out his first comment in this article… http://www.navygentleman.com/political/?p=4527#ID...
My plan is to blog about a local pastor who was able to convince a local public Highschool to include a study of the Bible as part of the curriculum….
Great to have you back Cheesecake!
Thank you! Will have to wander the halls and check this joint out!
Good to see you here Larry…
We can have more intense weapon (gun) discussions ..The posted articles are draw but all the good people are the glue..!
HPD out..on April 22. 2012 12:40PacTime
Just watch out for the hall monitors, Lar!
and the trolls…
CHEESECAKE! I'm soooooooo glad to see you! Been thinking about you and wondering where you've been. Welcome!!!
Good to see you again. I'll be talking to you soon.
Hey there. Good to see you. I always enjoyed your comments.
I had to edit my first response because it is late and I had you mixed up. Did I find you through an old blog link? (It is a wonder that some days I can make it all the way from breakfast to dinner without assistance!)
Happy to be here.
I look forward to reading your post and seeing you around here.
Anything you need just let me know.
Thank you. Hope I can contribute.
Thank you for this, Navy Gent! I've missed everybody. Spend most of my at the Bigs.
Glad to have you here ReaderRedux. If there is anything you need just let me know.
Thank you, Sir! And the same to you.
Thanks ChiTownTom for the hint about this site. Thanks NavyGentleman for setting this up.I was wondering where everyone went. I missed this format. Now I feel like I'm finally home after a long time away.
No problem. This site was too good not to pass on. It has the feel of the old Breitbart days and with all of the old pals to boot.
Dig in and enjoy!
AHHHH! Text articles with no rediculous fonts and pictures!!! Kudos. Bookmarked! Never thought I'd say I am glad to see IntenseDebate, but damn disqus sux.
Welcome! And ID works here because they moderators are sane.
well, sane is such a relative term…
Welcome back!
Disqus is Disqusting.
Oh, so this is where everyone went
Good job, NG, and good luck with the site.
Yeah, we've been looking for everyone… if you know anyone who's missing, bring them here!
Will do. The new BB is awful.
BZ and good luck with the site, Navy Gent. And a salute to fellow patriots and respected adversaries from the old Breitbart.
NOQTR4TR8RS, (10ACS1 on new Breitbart)
Welcome to the club!!
Thanks.
