Mikelx? He's a gutless fuckstick who's been banned from plenty of blogs for being nothing but a shitstain on the 'net's rumpled sheets.

He's a troll, and nothing else. He'll say anything if he thinks it'll insult you. And when he gets caught, he emails you and tries to threaten you.

By the way, his real name is Mike Ross, and he's from Portland, Oregon.

"Mike, where do I begin? First of all, the Oklahoma City bombing was carried out by a lone lunatic, acting on his own twisted thoughts, with one dimwit accomplice. It was not the beginning of a race war or a terrorist uprising. The bombing had nothing to do with the "race" of the perp, you bubbling douchebag. To suggest that Timothy McVeigh was no different than that bunch of Islamofascist murderers we're at war with today is either incredibly stupid or unbelievably naive. In other words, a typical nitwit leftist stance."

Actually, it was more than one person. They weren't arabic either. Perhaps you lost track of your thoughts sometime after your racist rant about wanting to profile people.

"No... I don't remember thumping my chest and threatening, along with my gungoon friends, to overthrow the government when Clinton was President. Do YOU remember it, Mike? Were you off your meds at the time? Were YOU threatened by goony men with guns that only you could see? Are you POSITIVE that happened, or are you... just making shit up?"

Whatsamatta, Acidman? Doncha like being lumped in with other people? Sometimes ya just gotta eat your own dogshit once in awhile.

"You're damn right terrorism is a domestic issue. The Democrats practiced it all during the election--- vandalizing Republican campaign offices, ripping up campaign signs, sending union thugs into crowds to intimidate citizens, slashing tires on Republican cars and even using gungoons to shoot up Republican campaign headquarters."

Zzzzzzzzzz .....

"That's because YOUR SIDE did it, and whatever your side does is automatically good because... well, it's your side and it's for the Cause. You poor, lobotomized fool."

How many people did "my side" kill while committing terra? How many people did YOUR SIDE kill in Oklahoma City? How many did YOUR SIDE kill in Waco?

"This whole Jesusland thing has really turned my crank. Bush's reelection was a slam-dunk that repudiated the blue-state philosophy. The blue states didn't react by wondering, "where did we go wrong?" No, they jumped up, started screaming and flinging feces like rabid monkeys, while accusing most of the country of being ignorant. THE RABID MONKEYS couldn't be wrong! The rest of the country was just fucked-up."

You must have a problem with free expression.

Most of the country is ignorant. Most of the country is lazy. Most of the country has an entitlement mentality. And most of the country pisses and moans about the most petty things without realizing how fucking good we got it.

Raging Dave is absolutely correct. I have been banned from numerous blogs. Many rightwingers don't like reading opposing viewpoints. It's a real shame. I often feel like I am on the receiving end of the condescension.

Who cares? The Georgia - Auburn game is just days away. Get your priorities right.

Most of the country is ignorant. Most of the country is lazy. Most of the country has an entitlement mentality. And most of the country pisses and moans about the most petty things without realizing how fucking good we got it.

Translation: WAAAAAAAHHHH! I WAS PROVEN WRONG, AND NOW I'M GONNA INSULT ALL YOU MEAN PEOPLE! WAAAAAAAHHHH!

Shut the fuck up and stop your whining, you pathetic bitch! You're a whining little whore on every day of the week, you know that? And you don't even have the convictions to back up anything you say, you just troll other blogs and throw shit at anything and anyone.

You're a gutless fucking coward, a liar, a brainless sack of shit, and a troll. Bravo. Maybe if you had a clue, you wouldn't get banned from just about everywhere you go. But since I see no hope of you actually learning anything in the near future, I guess you'll just have to continue being nothing but a whiny bitch.

Enjoy your irrelevance.

Dave, I am one of the 55 million people who voted for the #1 liberal in the Senate. We are very relevent. Get used to it.

Interesting debating skills, I must say.

"How many did YOUR SIDE kill in Waco?"

I think that Waco was your side. Sorry about that, but we don't claim Clinton and Reno as OUR side

I'm not sure I'd see 51% versus 49% as a slam-dunk. Any way you look at it, half of your neighbors disagree with you.

You can buy into the Blue/Red thing keeping in mind that it's the only concept that benefits both established parties equally -- the evangelical right gains more credibility than their numbers deserve and the Dems get a scapegoat for a lame candidate -- or you can focus on what we have in common.

All of us, regardless of how we voted want to feel safe in our homes, have the hope our children will do better than we have and know that when when the big one hits a hospital with a competent doctor will be available.These are universals. Regardless of whether you live in Vermont or Alabama.

McVeigh, Bin-Laden, Aryan Brotherhood, Al-Qaeda... all the same to me. Sociopathic assholes who want to destroy rather than build.

Answer that one Mikelx.I am so glad I do not live in Seattle. I t seems everybody on the west coast thinks they have it right, and everybody else has it wrong. Have you ever been to the midwest? Try it. Recommended readin for you should be " Blue Highways"by William Least Heat Moon.

Actually, Mikelx, you are one of the 55 million big LOSERS in this election cycle, and with the majorities enjoyed by the Republicans in both houses, you will only be as "relevant" as the ruling party sees fit.

And right now, we don't cotton to whiney punks. Bye-bye, now, ya hear?

//Bush's reelection was a slam-dunk that repudiated the blue-state philosophy.//

//you will only be as "relevant" as the ruling party sees fit.//

this is what i disagree with most about the conservative viewpoint. bush's reelection does not mean that those who oppose him are repudiated or irrelevant. it means that they are outnumbered. but it doesn't proove anything about the rightness or wrongness of their opinion.

i'm probably anaethma to both sides, here--i'm neither, i'm both, i'm a moderate, an independent...leaning slightly to the left, but not "flinging feces" as you put it.

still--it's not as if conservatives can simply lock liberals away because they won the election. it's not as if liberals have flunked some kind of test and must now keep a vow of silence, much as that may be what you wish for.

regardless of how passionate you are in your views--and i agree with some, but not all of them--the other side's not going away, election or no.

When one side wins the Presidential election by 4% (52 to 48) and picks up seats in both the House and Senate I'd call that a pretty clear condemnation of the other side. As long as the Democrats focus on their messenger and method without examining their message they'll continue down the path of marginalization. Personally, I'd like that just fine. Maybe the counterbalance to the GOP will be the Libertarians.

Don't waste too much time arguing with liberals. They're trapped in their own version of the Matrix, where victimhood is sacred and everything else the rest of us work for in life is a "right.."

i'm sorry, ralph, i just disagree with you there. it's a clear victory for the conservatives, but even a 40% victory isn't a "condemnation" of the other side. even a minority viewpoint still has to be recognized.

conservatives could have been said to be "condemned" by clinton's election over the first george bush and then re-election in 1996. i doubt any of you would have felt that clinton's election negated your viewpoint.

Well it is clear that MIKELX thinks that he is smarter , hipper and the answer to all our problems. He kind of sounds like a past candidate who didn't make much sense either. Both have a plan, no details , but they have a plan.
I almost agree with Beth, but like the rest of the democratic party , she still has not seen or understood what happened. Take a hard look at the map, rural , small town america has a different set of values than the urban swamps. The left coast which produces brain dead actors, tree huggers and computer programs is not the main stream, it never has been. What happened is the main stream, hard working , usually non voting population of the United States stood up and said, enough is enough. Main stream Amerca likes stability, security, and values hard work and fair play. Main stream America realizes gays exist but does not condone the life style. Main stream America realizes that there is a war on and we need a leader that will not bend with the political wind. Main steam America is tired of paying taxes to support people who choose not to work and live on welfare. Think about the message that was sent, think about all the main stream Americans that sent that message, they don't have or need fancy coffee, they drink plain coffee at 5AM go work and earn theri pay and just want to be left the hell alone.

"Well it is clear that MIKELX thinks that he is smarter , hipper and the answer to all our problems."

Yes, I am smarter and hipper than you rightwing knuckle-draggers. Do you have a problem with intelligent people?

Mike:

Please don't consider your views irrelevant, shout them from the mountaintops if you must.

With any luck, you'll be as effectve as Michael Moore in the effort to oust the Republicans!

If that doesn't work, then simply shout a little louder, become more shrill, and sooner or later, we red-staters will realize that "Doh - we *are* really stupid", but we'll still probably vote Republican anyway. Go figger.

As for "a problem with intelligent people" - no - it's *you* that folks seem to have a problem with, capice?

A little more for Mr. Mike:

So, what exactly happened to the US demographic between 1992 and 2004 (other than the influx of uneducated illegal immigrants)? After all, when we voted in Bill Clinton, we were smart, but when we voted in W, we were all dumbed-down somehow?

What happened? Do you suppose it was the arsenic that W put in the water?

That's as plausible a theory as any - I suspect that the intellectual elite which constitutes the Democrat party are more likely to drink purified, bottled water rather than arsenic-laden municipal tap-water.

The only hole in that theory is that the slack-jawed bumpkins out on the red prairie are likely to drink water from their own wells rather than tap water from a municipality.

But, that can be explained by the fact that bottled water often comes from superior civilizations such as the French, and well water comes from the ground which is, well, composed chiefly of dirt and rocks and stuff, not to mention all that arsenic (and we thought they were just crop dusters!)

About this intelligence issue - if you were to enter an arm-wrestling competition year after year only to be defeated year after year, would your excuse be "the other guys won because they are not as strong as I"?

Use a little logic - could it be that Republicans make steady gains in power because they're *smarter* than the Democrats? Or is such a notion beyond the pale?

The dem's seem to be falling into the same hole the Islamic world is in - looking around at their failures and looking for someone to blame. Try a little introspection, or you'll just keep losing, and losing, and eventually, you'll either implode intellectually or strike out blindly at an enemy that *only you can see* - when the more fitting action would be to give yourself a solid whack upside your own head.

Clearly, this guy is baiting you, Acidman, and enjoying every minute. The sooner you ignore him the sooner he will move on and annoy someone else.
Let's get back to those shrimp and oysters.
You did have cocktail sauce for the shrimp, right??

Head of nail, meet hammer.
Oh, and as for rounding up all the liberals and putting them into concentration camps… they already did that to themselves. The “camps” are called: Manhattan, Boston, Hollywood, San Francisco, Portland….

“How many did YOUR SIDE kill in Waco?” Mike, FYI, Janet Reno did that, and who was her boss? That’s right, Bill Clinton you ignorant F**k. We of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy shoulda taken his sorry ass out, or at least impeached him… ooh, I guess we did.

James Old Guy,
i'm not a member of the democratic party. i am a registered independent, and politically, that's where my views lie. as i posted above:

//i'm probably anaethma to both sides, here--i'm neither, i'm both, i'm a moderate, an independent...leaning slightly to the left,//

and i still maintain that just as a democrat in the white house from 1992-2000 didn't negate or render a conservative viewpoint irrelevant or unimportant, george w. bush's reelection, while sending a definite message for the time being, does not mean that those who disagree with his policies are to simply be ignored by everyone.

the liberal left is not going to go away with GWB in office any more than the religious right was going to go away with clinton in office. that, in my opinion, is as it should be--you need two sides and a difference of opinion for a healthy democratic system. right now, though bush won by a clear majority, the country is still fairly evenly divided--51% to 49%. both sides remain viable.

this doesn't mean that every winger on either side is to be acknowledged or respected. but wingers on each side, you have to know, don't speak for everyone with a particular political viewpoint. and i don't like anyone telling me that jesus spoke through this election and that it's god's will and i need to bow down before the government any more than i like anyone telling me that we need to care more about palestinian refugees than our own homeless / disenfranchised. there are weaknesses on each side, but that doesn't make one side or the other totally worthy of dismissal.

Good work.
