		<description>"Chas" offers --

&lt;i&gt;"...it is somewhat surprising to me when one of our alleged prosecuting attorneys cant seem to read or reason any better than Nathan’s silly dancing around…"&lt;/i&gt;

Yeahbut...

It's not as if we haven't witnessed "GMC70's" feeble mind at work before.  It's not like he's handling the big murder case in Butler County or any case that really matters.  He's probably prosecuting speeding tickets and dog-barking complaints.  

I mean, if he were actually dependent on billable hours, he wouldn't have time for WE Blog.

I dunno.  Maybe he was a political hire or a legacy or somesuch.  Suffice to say he's not the brightest pencil in the deck.

Go back up in the thread to when "Nathaniel" posted, "All I seen was..." and realizing you're not dealing with a mental giant.  And when people such as "GMC70" and "Regular et al" started piling on you in defense of "Nathaniel's" ignorance, it  should have been a clue the discourse was going downhill.   

It's difficult, I realize.  But we don't always have to lower ourselves to their level.

&lt;I&gt;"Just look at them and sigh..."&lt;/I&gt;</description>

		<description>How many of you have the new passports with the chips?

I'm out, too, Chas.  Had to stop an argument between kids.  GROWN kids, if you can believe it.

Tomorrow (make that Today) my oldest granddaughter graduates from kindergarten.  The youngest of the two graduated from Pre-K on Monday.  I hope I live long eough to see them both (and the two younger boys) graduate from high school.

Here's a thought to leave you all with.
&lt;i&gt;Do you not think that welfare perpetuates deadbeats to stay in poverty? What’s their incentive to get out of it?&lt;/i&gt;

Pride.  

You see, I used the welfare system for 6 months.  Got a whole $84 a month.  Gee!  I was rich!  It helped me get back on my feet, and I left it behind as quickly as possible.  Yes, there are people who will work the system, but that's true of all systems, not just for the poor.  How many of you have looked for and found every single tax loophole you can...and more?  How many people incorporate for that same reason?

Most on "welfare" (cash assistance) are new, single mothers (both never married and those newly divorced) who are in need of a little boost to get them out of the hole they're in.  There's stuff on the Kansas SRS website with the stats there to see.  The following quote also came from there:

&lt;i&gt;Most of the nation's total government benefits go to persons in the middle or upper classes, with only 14% of total government benefits going to the poor. Cash assistance payments account for just over 1% of all federal benefits programs.&lt;/i&gt;

Have a great Thursday!  I sure expect to. :)</description>

But now he's outed himself . . . muhahaHAHAHA!

		<description>I still would like to talk to you J R.  Let me know if that is possible.  I think you have me email address.  I will email, you, in case not.

The folks here are, hmmm... different.  But, they are my fellow citizens, even if I don't like them too very much.

It is late, night all...</description>

“Chas - what you’vecited is called an “editorial.” ”

"you’vecited"?

It is hard to miss the big "space" bar, at the bottom of the keyboard.</description>

		<description>Just  wait  GMC  --  Some  day  you might  find  that  the  DHS  will use your  new  National  ID  card  to limit  where you  travel.  Or where you  can  fly.  Or what  State you  can go to.  (In the name of  National Security of course)  

And  IF  that  happens,  you  can  remember  that  you  read it  here  that  SOME  folks  are  saying  that might happen...  And  that  those  who  would  make it happen  are  what  those  SOME  folks  call  the  Shadow  Government (whatever that is)...  

IF  that  should happen,  it will be  MY  turn  to call you  some  choice  names...  :-)</description>

Whatever, Chad. I, and others, can read fine. I don’t need you to tell me that you did’t say what you said, that words meaning X really means Y . . . 

It’s just Chad, part XXIII.
========================================

I seriously  pity the  legal partners with whom you  work,  if you  cant  read  with  any more  clarity  than you  exhibit  here  --  and  particularly  with  something  as  simple  as  what I have posted here today and  tonite..  

And I also pity the  defendants you put on trial, if you  twist  the  words  they  say  under oath, the  way  you  always  try  to  twist  the  words  I  type  on  this  Blog,  to  make  them  say  what  YOU  want them to  say,  instead of  what  they in  fact,  DO  say....  

Well,  good night;  good luck;  God  bless  -  
Whatever you  conceive  God to be!!

Blessings  ALL  --  especially this  nation!!</description>

<p>It’s just Chad, part XXIII.<br />
========================================</p>
<p>I seriously  pity the  legal partners with whom you  work,  if you  cant  read  with  any more  clarity  than you  exhibit  here  &#8212;  and  particularly  with  something  as  simple  as  what I have posted here today and  tonite..  </p>
<p>And I also pity the  defendants you put on trial, if you  twist  the  words  they  say  under oath, the  way  you  always  try  to  twist  the  words  I  type  on  this  Blog,  to  make  them  say  what  YOU  want them to  say,  instead of  what  they in  fact,  DO  say&#8230;.  </p>
<p>Well,  good night;  good luck;  God  bless  -<br />
Whatever you  conceive  God to be!!</p>
<p>Blessings  ALL  &#8212;  especially this  nation!!</p>

		<description>One  last  thought,  GMC...   Go  back  and  see  the various  social/economic  tactics  that  the  Nazi's used  to  GET  to  power  in  Germany...  Note  how  they  divided  the  nation into  factions that  could  be  easily  drawn into  confrontations,  and  set  to  disputing...  And  when  you  succeed  in  dividing  people into factions,  they  are  easily  conquered....  

Furthermore,  Transportation  limitations...  Fear  tactics...  Scares  of  a lack of security...  religiious  animosity...  

LOOK  AROUND YOU  --  Tell me  you  dont  see  many of  those  things  happening  here...  in our country...  Maybe  small  now...  but  certainly  having  the  capacity  to  grow  bigger...   American  airlines  today...  Perhaps  ALL of  us  later  in  terms  of  travel  affordability...  The   fact  that  Southwest  Airlines  is not in  that  same  category  tells  us  that  any  sense of  "takeover"  is  far pre-mature...  

Now,  couple  that  with  the  fact  that  there  are  those  who  for  whatever  reason,  see  conspiracies  happening  everywhere...  

And  you  can  easily  see how  such  ideas  as  shadow  governments,  or  Elitists,  or  CFR ideas...  or  Illuminati  ideas,  can  get  started...  The  ideas  of  Illuminati  controlling  the  nations of  the  world  behind  the  scenes,  have  been  around  since  the  mid 18th  century...  Such  ideas  have not  blossomed  beyond  several  fraternal  type  organisations...  

Currently,  I  think  much of  the  Mythos  of  Dick  Cheney (Undisclosed  locations,  etc.)  has  fueled  part of  the  current  conspiracy  folks...   

But  they  are  out  there...  and  they  are  REAL...   Which  is  what  I have  been  saying...  Qnd yet  for  some  reasohn,  YOU  and  a  few others  keep  trying  to  get  me  to  admit  thqt  I  BELIEVE  thqt  stuff!!  

The  typos  are  what  happens  when  my left hand  refuses to  cooperate...  sorry....  

Yet,  NOWHERE have  I  said  I  believe  any of  it...   

And  you  know  what??   That  was  my  intention...  to  show  you folks,  that  you jump  to  conclusions,  you  misquote  any  way you  can  to  prove  your  point...  even to  the point  when  Nathqn  sqys  thqt  SOME  SQY  is  different  from  SOME  HqVE  PROPOSED...  Qnd  then  he  tried  to  weasel out of  it  by  ccalling  ME  the  liar!!   

See,  that is  what is  terribly  disturbing!!  All of  that  flaming  and  trolling...  hqd not ONE  thing  to do  with  what  I  was  posting... 

nd  tht is  bqsically  tht  we  got q  whole  lot of  probvlems  in  this  country  right now...  Qnd  MOST of  them  qrent  pqrtisqn --  they  qre,  rqther,   QMerican  PROBLEMS...  And  they  need  American  minds,  working  to find  American  solutions...  NOT  Right  Wing  this,  qnd  Left Wing  that!!  

Can you,  as  a  public  servant,  understqnd  the  importqnce  of  thqt???</description>

		<description>Whatever, Chad.  I, and others, can read fine.  I don't need you to tell me that you did't say what you said, that words meaning X really means Y . . . 

It's just Chad, part XXIII.</description>
