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.I can't remember. Were people this angry when George Bush supported this in 2001?

Fox News is consistently the #1 cable news network in the country (owned by Rupert Murdoch).
The Wall Street Journal is the #1 home-delivered newspaper in the country (also owned by Rupert Murdoch).
What more do you want?
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)Or he can just order an attack on Iran himself. It never hurt a sitting President to look tough on the international stage, and most of his liberal support would still back him (too many would congratulate him on his backbone, with hypocritical observations equivalent to "If Obama said we needed to do it, then there must have been a real threat.")
In fact, the more I think about it, the smarter it seems to attack Iran three weeks before the polls. Might even win him another Nobel.

I am not making it disparaging... They themselves make it that way.
Dude... That is what they called themselves from the start... Then they found out what it means and changed their "trademark" because they were too embarassed to stick to their guns. I can't respect spineless !@#$s like that.
So sorry... Think before you take a name... They were born with it... Now deal with it... Just like the Sears Tower... Who the heck calls it Willis Tower?
Should of thought about disparging yourself before taking a name... Now they want to whine and cry and be taken seriously? Huh... Dumbazzzes... Not my fault they self-disparge themselves!
At least the people who play bean bags... Which is called: Cornhole in the midwest... Stick to their guns, I can respect that... They still very much call the game Cornhole throughout the midwest.
Teabaggers forever... Only them that let it disparage...
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.

'Bout time! Taxes have to go up pure and simple. The demands of government are only going to grow and grow as the baby boomers continue to retire and those that have benefitted the most from the globalization of our economy should have to pay the price, not the eroding middle class that simply for economic reasons shouldn't be asked to lower their buying power even more.
The rich are doing fine with this economic down turn, the middle class and lower classes have suffered, bout time for the wealthy to pay their fair share.
Please define what "fair share" means and who gets to decide the criteria for "fair share".
-
look up the definition and then honestly ask yourself if the adjective is apt
It's not.
-
you "discovered" nothing with your disingenuous question. you unsuccessfully attempted to illustrate your preconceived conclusion. nice try though.
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?
-
a fair and straightforward question that is not easy to answer....no, i don't think the majority is always right regarding the opinions they voice. i do however think that a significant majority have an inherent, internal sense of fairness (call it conscience or instinct) that they share. for instance, the vast majority of people don't think it's fair to steal from others, or to take out loans they can't possibly pay back or to default on those loans when they could possibly pay or to sell loans to people who they know will never be able to pay them back or to ... but do the majority of people act according to that conscience? usually, all though it seems less recently. nevertheless, we have what is ostensibly a representative govt. the majority's opinions should be acted upon.
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've already answered while partially humoring a silly, juvenile attempted trap. and gg and d/c don't seem to get that deducting business expenses as well as the individual business owners personal expenses would be doubly unfair to nonbusiness owners. anyone with any inherent sense of fairness would see this but guess who doesn't have that sense? obviously, fairness is an arbitrary concept but one on which a sizable majority of people can usually agree.
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?
-
This is what you're up against KC.
Impossible to reason with people who blindly believe this.
Yeah, I know. I think it was a simple question.
-
It's obvious you haven't been here for awhile. There are certain posters here that you just can't ask specific questions. They don't deal with specifics. They only deal with sweeping statements and grand generalizations.
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.)
-
A certain party has been and is proposing cutting social programs, changing benefits, etc., etc. that clearly affect the middle-class and lower without addressing upper-class. That to many is not fair. How is it that they can alter all of this yet not ask the other group not to do anything?
Personally I do not think it's about being on the same level it's about having the same opportunities.
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.)
