1st!

I wanted to post now before AFKABibble screwed up the entire thread.

By the way - before I forget to mention it...

SA-WEEP! Way to go CAVS!

Hell yeah, Ron, me too.

Just wish aflacshaheen would do his "I'm revolting" thing somewhere else.

Oh come now, don't be so hard on an old homeless bum that has to hang out in that old socialistic public library.

We love ya Rusty, come on back and whine about how the south's gonna rise agin!

Afkaguy-You have made a lot of people sick and tired of tirades. Why not tone things down and have a tiny bit less fun for just a while. OK?

Silly Liberals without AFKABL2 your nooner thread would die, you would all be bored to death and I would miss watching the lot of you wearing your butts for hats. Even 101 admits AFKABL2 would be sorely missed lol lol.

12:35PM and already 6 posts wow what a jumping thread without him carry on.

Keith - Afka BL2 has not made me sick of the subjects he posts in the nooner rather they would probably make great discussion threads and belong there. I am not sure why BL2 doesn't just create a couple of threads each day and let the discussions go on.

My bet is he doesn't know how. Up until I showed him how a couple of weeks ago, he didn't know how to put a link in a post.

Oh, and my other theory is that he's a stubborn old coot that just doesn't give a shit.

Am I going insane? black sabbath

Every day I sit and wonder
how my life it used to be
Now I feel like going under,
now my life is hard to see

So tell me people, am I going insane?

Tell me people, am I going insane?

Yes, Lip, you are going right stark raving mad.

Let me know when you get here, I'll cook up something and make sure the beer's well-stocked.

Oh, cooking: I found that if you add a fairly liberal (don't get tense, right of center people) splash of balsamic vinegar to the tomato schlock (I use puree and a little tomato paste myself) when you make Sloppy (Insert Name Here)s, it adds a good tang to the overall thing.

SA-WEEP! Way to go CAVS!

It was sad watching the Pistons slowly being extinguished yesterddy and the Cavs not even breaking into a sweat. I guess Detroit will ahve to rebuild it's team, which will probably take lots of time. Every thing in this city is going down, it seems. I don't follow Hockey, but I hope the Redwings win another title, this city, this state, needs something to celebrate.

To me the more exciting game was the Chicago-Boston double overtime. Go Ben Gordon!!! Yeah!!!

I hope the Cavs win the whole thing, they deserve it.

Can someone tell me some things about the Freemasosns that I can't find on the Web?

Personal experiences?

The Freemasons are spreading chemtrails on the moon.

Thanks Jeff! How's that job at the LEGO plant coming along?

What do you want to know? Having been one for 30 years, I can tell you the only "secrets" that you can't find on the Web exist only in Jeffn and his twin brother Alex Jones' minds.

Having been one? I thought Freemasons were always Freemasons, like the mafia where you can't leave. Anyways, is the world really ending on 12/21/2012?

Better work on your grammar comprehension.

SA,

I have a soon to be step-son that is 23 years old who has been going to meetings and reading supplied material. From what I have found through my research is seems innocent enough.

It just looks like a group of Deists to me.

It is going to cost him money or anything? Dues?

What is the purpose SA?

#22 | Posted by Manypaths

Most Lodges have annual dues, just like the Elks, Knights of Columbus, etc.

I wouldn't say Masons are deists. They do require members to be of good moral character, and believe in one supreme being.

The "secret" rituals of the Lodge primarily are illustrative of positive character traits such as public service, loyalty, love of family, integrity, and so on.

Most Masonic organizations function partially as a social organization and partially as a community service organization.

So not only are you a freemason, you are also the grammar police, great. I though you meant you were one for 30 years, not that you are still one after having joined 30 years ago.

#18 | Posted by SanAntonioRogue

I've been one for 37 years.

I wonder what makes people think if there were secrets, that have existed for hundreds of years, someone would just non-chalantly tell them?

SA, I've got a true story for you. When i was about 18, I was kinda like Jeffndenmark in the 'everything is a conspiracy' mode. So, I was doing some research (pre-internet) and I wasn't finding what i wanted to know, so I started seeking out members and asking lot's of dumb questions.

It just so happened that every single mason i talked to (i.e. my uncle and 4 or 5 guys I worked with and a few guys in town) had no children. I was convinced that the organization castrated the members. That was during the same time when a christian buddy was telling me they were satan worshippers. Some lies are more entertaining than the truth.

Sanantonio-
It's possible that, having been an idiot for his entire life, memeber2586 has been having problems in many areas.

Or maybe English is his second language, in which case I would understand.

Check that, that was 27 years. sorry.

What's up with not allowing women in?

How many Mason's are gay or Bi men?

Just asking.

I wouldn't say Masons are deists.

#23 | Posted by SanAntonioRogue

I wouldn't either. Most of them are christians. I, however, am a deist.

Everything else that SA said is true and well said.

Kids were spotted slicing tires and took off in a car.

The police were called and the license plate number was provided.

The police show up and threaten to arrest the kids. The parents agree to meet the owners of the cars involved and they settle out of court - the kids admitting what they did.

Adult is arrested for robbery. There were accomplices. The adult is threatened with 20 years in prison. The adult makes a deal with the DA for 5 years to testify against his buddies for a lesser sentence.

Bomber is caught. Through tough interrogation, he explains where the bombs are and the good guys disarm them.

The terrorist is captured. He is threatened with arrest and he laughs. He is threatened with life imprisonment and he laughs. He is subjected to tough interrogation and he laughs. He is tortured and finally spills the beans.

Of the four: threaten with arrest - tells the truth. Threatened with jail time - tells the truth. Interrogated - tells the truth. Tortured - must be lying.

Monotheists.

"Freemasons rule the country." (Simpsons.)

Or maybe English is his second language, in which case I would understand.

Oh please spare me your condescension!

Manypaths,

How many members of the Garden Club have blue buicks?

Haw many members of the first baptist church have moustaches?

Just asking.

#28 | Posted by Manypaths

There are women's Masonic Organizations also - Like the Order of Eastern Star.

I would assume the % of gays in Masonry would be about the same as in the genpop. Most of the Masons I've known through the years have been married family men.

My step-grandfather is a Mason; southern redneck if ever there was one, but a nice guy. I didn't know until I was about 22 and just finished reading Anton Wilson and was talking about the Illuminati one day and the Mason connections and he showed me his ring and laughed his ass off at me.

Oh please spare me your condescension!

You're welcome, but I must save some for the others.

So it's basically a mens' club?

Do Mason's have a purpose? Goal?

Do they recruit young members? If so, why?

I think it is basically a motorcycle club, only with tiny cars and funny hats instead of bikes...or is that Shriners?

#38 | Posted by Manypaths

1. I guess you could say that, although its only the formal meetings that are restricted to members only. Everything else is wide open.

2. I thought I answered that.

3. Like any organization, they depend on new members to continue, so they recruit anyone who is interested. Until fairly recently, prospective members had to initiate contact about membership. That has relaxed somewhat now.

"Funny hats" huh Kanrei????????

Because the have "bills" on them??????

It could be Many, yes. Jews are not the only ones who wear them: Muslims, Buddists, and even the Pope all wear simular hats for the same reason. Personally, I don't wear one because I know G-d comes to me for advice.

Can Boyd become a Freemason or is it a whites only club?

I mean "similar" hats and really wish I could spell.

LOL! FF

I have a good friend who is gay (he and his partner have been together almost 20 years), a strict republican, a christian and a mason.

We can always count on WisGod to elevate the discussion to the level of the personally petty and the racist.

Which is why I was cheering for them. It's good to see the Bulls kicking ass again.

You're a 19 year old kid. You're critically wounded, and dying in the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley , 11-14-1965, LZ X-ray, Vietnam . Your infantry unit is outnumbered 8 - 1, and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 or 200 yards away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the MediVac helicopters to stop coming in.

You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns, and you know you're not getting out. Your family is 1/2 way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you'll never see them again. As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.

Then, over the machine gun noise, you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter, and you look up to see an un-armed Huey, but it doesn't seem real, because no Medi-Vac markings are on it.

Ed Freeman is coming for you. He's not Medi-Vac, so it's not his job, but he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire, after the Medi-Vacs were ordered not to come.
He's coming anyway.
And he drops it in, and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 2 or 3 of you on board.

Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire, to the Doctors and Nurses.
And, he kept coming back.... 13 more times..... And took about 30 of you and your buddies out, who would never have gotten out.

Medal of Honor Recipient Ed Freeman died last Wednesday at the age of 80, in Boise, ID ......May God rest his soul.....

I bet you didn't hear about this hero's
passing, but we sure were told a whole bunch about some Hip-Hop Coward beating the crap out of his "girlfriend"

"Medal of Honor Recipient Ed Freeman died last Wednesday at the age of 80, in Boise, ID."

Thanks for that.

Yes, this country regales itself in remembrance and elevation of its misfits rather than its heroes. It's a country with no sense of values, a Sodom and Gomorrah nation. Sad.

foshaffer, great story. Yeah, I also wish the media would focus less on the trivial and more on important things. But I guess the job bores some so-cllaed "journalists" so much that they have to report the "fun" stuff they like and then claim they are giving the public what the public wants, which is nonsense, of course.

I had a post on the Saturday Nooner deleted. I wonder if the reason was noting the resurgence of TB and hepatitis in the United States because of the influx of people illegally crossing the Southern border and entering in and residing in the United States, or the interpolation of a common somewhat pejorative one word description of such people derived from their practice of fording the Rio Grande River in the course of illegal entry and being wet for a time afterwards.

It seems that it is now impolitic to used mildly negative terms for illegals.

The new" sensitivity" seems to go against the zeitgeist as for example, the beauty contest contestant who declared herself against the oxymoronic concept of "gay marriage" was berated in the press as if such opinion was somehow "bad," and not permitted to be expressed in decent company despite the fact that it is the majority opinion in the United States as repeatedly demonstrated in elections.

These U.S. elites live in a different world and seek to impose their values on others in a most derisive and impudent manner. What unmitigated gall.

Well, I suppose that now we'll find out if the Mexicans as a source for resurgence of diseases is now verboten, or if it was the "banned on Drudge" word. No longer is only Boston engaged in suppression of expression. You folks should be ashamed of yourselves, but you have no insight. By the way, the Boston Globe seems to have been the major paper with the greatest circulation loss.

The Masons don't seem to be nearly as numerous as they once were, and their "Temples" seem to be closing down.

That is true. Fraternal organizations are not so much en vogue these days.

If he associates with 2 groups of people who think he is immoral, what does that say about the 3rd?

#57 | Posted by Manypaths

A better question might be, 'what does it say about the 2 groups that do think he is immoral'? This is especially true when I know the man is a beacon of thought and spritual reflection.

Many, I may slop this up, but you need to understand something. Everything is inside the man. His external oaths and obligations are for others benefit. Who he is inside is for him and his creator to know.

I may think that a hard-working man is more honest than a non-hard-working man. Then i can disprove that point based on one transaction. I may think a mason is more honest than a non-mason, but i can find instances where this is not true either.

I will tell you as a mason, a 32nd degree mason and a shriner that I am a nasty-minded, nasty-mouthed, anti-religion realist(which is not your 'typical' mason, for sure).

I only care about idealism and philosophy. I do not care about anyone elses ideas of morals or society or any of that. I would leave the masonic order so fast it would make it's head swim if I found a conflict between what i believe and what the organization is based on.

But you know what? I haven't found one. I also haven't found a reason why any honest and good man would find fault with it, outside some extremist religious teachings.

If you make a deal, a deal is a deal, no matter if the other participant is the preacher of the 1st baptist church or an atheist or a mason or a member of the garden club. The kinetic purity of that deal will speak volumns about the participants.

Oh, and my other theory is that he's a stubborn old coot that just doesn't give a shit.

So they've gotten it down to 2%? What do you suppose the absolute real bottom line is as to how far down you could get that number?

Some states, like PA have found that putting too stringent safeguards in actually cut out thousands of eligible elderly people, single moms, and others. What is the point of diminishing returns between eliminating waste & fraud, and depriving people who should be eligible.

Is 2% really outrageous?

nice deflection from the master.

he said that he would look through everything, NOT add to the total to make up for it.

but thats okay...those goldman sacs boys can make up for it with thier average of 500,000 salary that they are pulling down now in the MIDST OF this recession

I HAVE A GIFT for you today

will cut it short but I did want to dispell one myth that the left continues to this day

in reading the bio of FDR I found some incredibly troubling things that I have never heard about before.
I post them here because I would not doubt for one MOMENT that if obama tried the same thing that he would succeed where fdr didnt

His attempts to "pack' the supreme court for some reason has never been in anything I have ever read about him and this is his quote.
"We can not yield our constitutional destiny to the personal judgement of a few men."
if you think this is not something that obama would not try and do then you havent been listening.
this was all part of an effort to expand the number of justices in order to pack the court in his favor and I AGAIN have no doubt that if obama tried this, this public who keeps answering those polls would see nothing wrong with it at all.

Why is your special gift for me, Ish?

I'm no hero-worshipper of FDR. And anyone with a modicum of familiarity with 20th century American history knows about the Supreme Court packing issue. It's not like it's some deep, dark secret.

So I have no idea what your point was supposed to be. Neither, I suspect, do you.

and just to end with a positive note about this patron saint of liberals,
this quote was from 1936 and BROTHER DID HE GET THIS ONE RIGHT

"to some generations, much is given, of other generations much is expected, this generation has a rendezvous with destiny."

I also posted this one because I understand how many of you will attack me for the first one on fdr. You know that knowledge is power and the more you read the more knowledge you accumulate.

So I have no idea what your point was supposed to be. Neither, I suspect, do you.

#83 | Posted by SanAntonioRogue at 2009-04-27 03:

sorry for this post but I told you what my point is

AGAIN..put down your afternoon starbucks and read it slower .

if the people who answered the obama polls were to be asked if he could do this, they would have no problem with it.

AND DONT TRY AND GET ME TO POST AGAIN>..LOL

if the people who answered the obama polls were to be asked if he could do this, they would have no problem with it.

Even 101 can only stand so much Ish Kabibble before going starkers.

Now this is a smart dog.

Nah, that's all propaganda about 12/21/2012.

The worlds coming to an end with armageddon when the messiah comes. You know, not the pretender, the real one. Which,if the Israeli's have anything to do with it, is any time soon.
