With this multi-colored Posting instead of quoting, going from one
color to two, to three & then five and so on and so forth....if or when
someone Reports a post (this hasn't been Reported, but I've had to
wade through the silliness of five different colors instead of quotes
before), a Moderator has to backtrack through an entire Thread ( or
Threads at times) trying to figure out who said what when and where,
and it's problematic at best. :roll:

Oh Yeah....the admin goes to all the trouble of setting up a nice forum with all the bells and whistles like quote, multi quote, smileys, and all kinds of other tools.....
And then you get a few individuals who will copy and paste to word...put in their answer and paste it back to the forum.....
What a waste of technology...:roll:

That's just because some posters are so much superior to the rest, that they have better ideas, and need to be worshipped.

All bow down, and praise our Lord of the Multicoloured Post Quote.

Now that you've revealed it, I expect you'll see a lot more of it. Some people seem to think procedures, rules and common courtesies just don't apply to them.

Ron, here is the color code for you, it is very simple. If I am quoting another poster, I use red italics. If I am quoting from my previous post, I use blue (not italics). Simple.

It's actually simpler to use the quote feature/format, and if you want to dick around in a word processor program, simply stick in the 'quote' and '/quote' fields.

EagleSmack, again, conservatives are hardly an authority on racism, blacks simply don’t believe anything conservatives say. And if blacks don’t believe it, then I don’t believe it.

And NIMBY Liberals like yourself believe that just because you are liberal you aren't racist.

But you are.

Yes, we have established that. According to you (and Yukon Jack), liberals are racist,

Quite a few are like yourself.

conservatives are a paragon of virtue and blacks are racist and stupid for not voting conservative

I did not say that.

The only person that called "blacks" stupid is you.

(and further that blacks can go to Hell).

More racism.

Exactly. According to you, conservatives are a paragon of virtue when it comes to race, and blacks are stupid for not voting conservative.

Again, you are the one calling African-Americans stupid.

No, it is you (and Yukon Jack). What you are saying is that liberals are racist and conservatives are a paragon of virtue when it comes to race.

What a broken record you are. Boy are you on the ropes.

Since blacks overwhelmingly vote for liberals, the clear implication on your part is that blacks are stupid,

Do you stutter in real life as well?

Who said "blacks are not that stupid" clearly implying that they are stupid just not that stupid? You did Joey. That is why you are a racist along with all of your other racist posts.

they are too dumb to realize that liberals are racist (and conservatives are not). You only implied it, your soul mate, Yukon Jack said so explicitly.

Are you implying that they are dumb?

Soul mate?

Hmmm...looks like you are looking for friends Joey.


That is not my opinion, that is the opinion of the minorities.

You speak for minorities? I do not think they would want a liberal racist speaking for them.

Blacks vote for liberals against conservatives by more than 90%. With Hispanics, the margin is not so lop sided, but still they overwhelmingly vote for liberals. Which tells me that the minorities just don’t believe anything conservatives say.

Your constituency is white males, and your base is shrinking. Unless you find some way of attracting minorities to your party (and calling liberals racists, claiming that conservatives have a prefect record on race is not the way), your party maybe doomed in the long term. - SJP

FAILED – EagleSmack.

Yes, truth hurts, doesn’t it? The Republican base is overwhelmingly white, mostly male and shrinking.

If the GOP base was strictly white male there would not be one GOP elected to any office. If only white males voted GOP the whole elected government would be Democrat.

In other words... FAILED

...and when there's five or more colors? Here's something that is even simpler.

If a post is reported, all the multicolored stuff will be the first things unapproved,
and the last things reviewed, if or when time permits. It's confusing, and a make
work project for the Moderators. I for one am not interested in wading through
any more multicolored posts if reported than I've already had to in the past.

(Unaproved = gone from sight except for Mod's or Admin)

If one of the other Moderators wishes to wade through them once unapproved
if reported, that's their prerogative. Even simpler is, if something isn't quoted
in a post from another post using the quote feature, then the words belong to
whomever posted it....so lets hope they're not offensive regardless of what
color they happen to be. Problem solved. That was easy. Simple even.

Indeed, according to blacks, liberals are not racist, they vote for liberals by more than 90%. According to blacks, conservatives are racist, blacks vote for them less than 10%. When it comes to racism against blacks, blacks are the final authority.


I did not say that.

The only person that called "blacks" stupid is you.


Sure you did. According to you, blacks vote more than 90% for racist people (liberals), they vote less than 10% for those who are not racist (conservative). The implication on your part clearly is that blacks are stupid, they don’t know their own interest (which is to vote conservative, according to you).

Your writing drips with contempt for blacks. No wonder they don’t vote conservative.

Again, you are the one calling African-Americans stupid.


No you are. When you claim that liberals are racist and blacks vote for liberals more than 90%, the implication is clearly that you think blacks are stupid. What other reason can their be for voting liberal (according to you)?


What a broken record you are. Boy are you on the ropes.


But of course, EagleSmack, why give up something that works? I have an unanswerable argument, you don’t’ have any reply for it, you keep skirting around it. So every time you imitate a broken record (that liberals are racist), I can imitate one too (then why do blacks overwhelmingly vote liberal?). The effective way to answer a broken record is another broken record (and one which is unanswerable).

Who said "blacks are not that stupid" clearly implying that they are stupid just not that stupid? You did Joey. That is why you are a racist along with all of your other racist posts.

I did nothing of the sort, I didn’t’ even imply that blacks are stupid. You however, imply that blacks are stupid every time you claim that liberals are racist. You don’t’ have answer to the question, why do blacks keep voting for liberals overwhelmingly?



Are you implying that they are dumb?

No, you are. Because they keep voting for liberals, who are racist, according to you. The clear implication on your part s that blacks are dumb.


Soul mate?

Hmmm...looks like you are looking for friends Joey.


YJ is your soul mate, EagleSmack, not mine. At least he has the honesty to say openly that blacks are stupid and racist. You keep implying it all over the place, never answering my question, if liberals are racist, why do blacks vote for them overwhelmingly. YJ has the courage of his convictions, you don’t.


You speak for minorities? I do not think they would want a liberal racist speaking for them.


And they would want a conservative speaking for them (for whom less than 10% of blacks vote)?



If the GOP base was strictly white male there would not be one GOP elected to any office. If only white males voted GOP the whole elected government would be Democrat.

In other words... FAILED


Base voters are not the only ones who vote for a party in elections. A party usually attracts votes besides its base, if it doesn’t it will get trounced, probably won’t win even one seat. But look at tea parties, look at Town Hall meetings, those who draw Hitler’s moustache on Obama, those who paint Obama as an African witch doctor, the birthers, those who claim that Obama is an illegal alien. That is the Republican base, that is overwhelmingly male, mostly white and it is shrinking.

So is Sharpton not black or is Dean not a liberal?

ES, you'll have to quote this as Joey ignores his poodles.

(1/13/2004) Sharpton Not Only Black American Critical Of Dean

[SIZE=+2]Democratic [/SIZE] presidential candidate Al Sharpton loves to take cheap shots at Howard Dean on race, calling Dean anti-black and an opponent of affirmative action. But beyond Sharpton's grandstanding lie important questions about Dean's claim to be the strongest Democratic candidate on civil rights.

Unmasking Obama

By Thomas Lifson
It is now abundantly clear that the image of Barack Obama sold to the American electorate was tightly edited, air-brushed, and exaggerated. He has worn a series of masks -- eloquent orator, brilliant scholar, centrist, and literary sensation. All of these masks are coming off as he copes with a job for which image will not suffice. For instance, hiding behind the eloquent orator mask is a guy who says "uhh" a lot when he is winging it, and who makes lots of factual and grammatical mistakes.

Now, thanks to Jack Cashill, the literary mask has been removed. Obama is a literary pretender. Case closed. The evidence is overwhelming that Bill Ayers ghost-wrote Dreams from my Father, the book which established Obama's pose as a brilliant writer (and therefore a fine mind, in the estimation of many). The stylistic resemblance between the Dreams and Ayers' work is stunning. Now we know, thanks to Chris Andersen's new book,that Obama hit a brick wall trying to fulfill his contract to produce a book, and shipped off his notes and tapes to Ayers. That is the classic description of a ghost writer's assignment. And it completely fits the theories Cashill had inferentially reasoned from the data of his literary studies.

The revelation that Chris Andersen had two separate sources means that this fact meets the journalistic standard of reliability, provided by a respected, established bestselling author. Obama's dismissal of Ayers as "just a guy in the neighborhood" has been shown to be an outright lie.

That will certainly be the verdict of history, regardless of whether or not the issue of Obama's ghost written book ever breaks through into the national discussion. My bet is that the media will not be able to suppress discussion. The image of Obama packing boxes full of tapes and notebooks and hauling them over to Ayers' house a couple of blocks away, is simple and compelling evidence of a ghost writer being put to work. Jack's literary detective work made the case, and Andersen's two neighborhood sources confirm it.

Anyone who refuses to deal with this issue is willfully avoiding topics that make Obama look bad. The facts are in the public domain.

American Thinker is a prime Obama hater, a birther. It claims that Obama is a Muslim terrorist, an illegal alien. American Thinker has zero credibility, same as other websites which cater to the Republican base, such as Town Hall, WorldNetDaily etc.

If anybody in American Thinker says anything complimentary about Obama, I would be worried.

Wow, Joseph! A rational, logical comment! What a pleasure to have an adult discussion with you for a change.

OK, so it is a matter of semantics, isn't it, as to when the meltdown actually started.

The credit freeze occurred about a year ago, when Lehman Brothers went belly up. Until then we had run of the mill recession.
True, the recession was caused by the housing bubble burst and everyone expected it would run its course in a year or so. The problem was few people realized what was going on in the mortgage industry that had caused the housing bubble to get so huge.

Once Lehman Brothers went under, financial institutions stopped lending almost completely, resulting in the credit freeze and necessitating two huge stimulus packages.

I have said it before, if Bush had spent a few billion dollars in bailing out Lehman Brothers, we would have had run of the mill recession, and not the almost depression that we had.
All financial institutions were in trouble by that time. Lehmans were just the first big one to go under. By itself, that was not enough to cause a depression, but it was a wake-up call. If the government had bailed them out it would have made no difference, the credit freeze would have happened anyway, because by then in was undeniable that all those bundled mortgage investments were virtually worthless, and no-one knew who all had them. It was a house of cards. When AIG went down, Bernanke recognized that this time their collapse would most definitely lead to a depression, hence the bailout, first from the Fed, and when they didn't have enough, from the government. The AIG crash was an unusual event. They're an insurance company. But some of their executives (who have long been let go) decided to get into financial matters, which do not fall under insurance, but rather under banking. Insurance is regulated by the individual states. Banking is regulated by the Feds. This was a loophole, since the states wouldn't regulate their "banking" activities, and the Feds wouldn't regulate an insurance company they got away with a lot of bad practices.
So another way of looking at it would be that the meltdown started a year ago, in September 2008.
On that we can agree.

American Thinker {sic} went so far as to say that Obama was well aware for one year of a secret nuclear facility in Iran. What those far right idiots failed to understand is that Obama was not president a year ago and could not have access to Top Secret info. Bush was. And if he failed to do anything about it then he is to blame for any violation of the NPT*. American Thinker is a total embarassment to the far right.



*The facility was held not be in violation of the NPT by the IAEA.
