Barry in KC

From my perspective, Sal is the most knowledgeable and most objective of the local guys.

Taps is my sons’ bar. The Tonawanda Wings are my recipe. It was packed all day with Bills fans. It was great. Thanks to all who showed up and had a good time.

I have a condo in Cocoa Beach. The best place is The Sandbar. Lot’s of tv’s. One of the owners likes the Bills so occasional he’ll have the sound on. It’s a few blocks from Ron Jon’s. Good luck.

For BBQ, Joes is the most popular; get the pulled pork, great fries. Gates has the best ribs, not that meaty but great flavor. Shop on the Plaza which has a great atmosphere. Drive by the sports complex. It's impressive but go ahead and spit on the Arrowhead parking lot!

About a year ago, they showed a house that I grew up in Tonawanda. It was very neat to see the insides of the house some 50 years after I last saw it.

As one of the 3, I'm open to receiving my share of the $1000 winnings and then restarting the pool.

I think it is reasonable to assume that there might be political motivations with the wiretapping. The Obama administration used the IRS for the same reasons.

This is much bigger than what the Patriot Act was designed to do.

When you add up the numbers: ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN,etc., the liberal media numbers far outway what Fox News gets. Any reasonable person can see that 95% of the media slants to the left.

What absolutley needs to happen is for somone with a lot of money to start buying the major media outlets. Conservatives will be forever demonized until there is some sort of balance in the MSM. What happened in this election cycle was absolutely disgraceful.

If there is an attack close to the election, you'll see gas prices skyrocket, which will hurt Obama even more that it's going to.(By the way, gas prices will be a huge factor in the election and nobody is talking about it.....yet)

First of all, they did not call themselves "Teabaggers"- this term came from the left to try to demonize the group, as the left is prone to do ("we don't like what you say, so we are going to tell everyone you're an idiot"). Secondly, comparing the term "Teabagger" to the Sears Tower and cornholing is so far beyond my intelligence that I must concede that you are the most brilliant person to ever grace this board.......Dude.

I'm always amazed at the Left when they criticize the Right for being "Hate Mongers". Then the left uses terms like "teabaggers" to insult and disparage. Amazing!

The absolute worst movie is the remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still. It was an absolute piece of crap. An insult to the original, which is a classic. I was pissed off for a day after I saw it. I'm getting mad again just thinking about it. Gort is friggin insects. Give me a break.

Please define what "fair share" means and who gets to decide the criteria for "fair share".

It's not.

How can a question be "disingenuous"? Here's another question for you, one that you might find "disingenous"- Can people on the left have a rational, adult discussion without throwing insults?

The entire basis of the initial question was based on the talking point-"Fair Share" that is being used by the Democrats in almost all of their public speeches when discussing the economy. The point is that "Fair Share" is a talking point to convince the public that the current tax structure is not "Fair". As with most cases of what the left does in demonizing an economic class, a political party, or a network, there is a motive in convincing their followers that things are not "fair". That's when I continually hear the mantra "Fair Share" used. And what I think we've discovered in this particular discussion is that it is a talking point without any thoughtful, rational basis and that rational , well informed people should probably not use the term just because the the leaders of the Democratic party and the media, that is left leaning, use it.

I wanted to give this a little thought before I responded. So, if in your opinion, "fair" is defined by what the majority decides, then in any situation, what the "majority" decides is ALWAYS fair.

Again, the talking point of the year is: " The wealthiest Americans should give their fair share." What does "Fair Share" mean and who is it that decides what fair is?

Yeah, I know. I think it was a simple question.

That's why I asked to define "fair", since the left uses that term so much. (Actually, I was here during the Clinton- Lewinsky debates. I am impressed that I have't been called a terrorist yet. Maybe things here have gotten civilized.)

And exactly what social programs, that are critical, is the certain party advocating cutting?

It's been a long time since I've written on this forum, but this morning, I heard Ms. Pelosi talk about the rich not "giving one red cent" to help those in need. Over the past several years, I've had many discussions with my business partner who is an extreme liberal. Whenever he says that the rich need to pay their "fair share", it drives me nuts. Would somone please define "fair share", how "fair" is defined, and who is it that decides what "fair" is for the taxpayer? (My business partner cannot answer this, by the way. Whenever I ask him these questions, he gets mad, says "I don't get it", and storms away.)
