@xray: AnglRdr: "I rant against criminals of all elements "
Actually, I have never ever seen you rant against any criminals, except black ones. Ever.
Naturally, you'll have proof that you have.
Re: “Bill O'Reilly and Dennis Miller Coming, Boldly and Freshly, to the Ryman”
WOW, xray, it sounds like someone of color took your lunch money and ran your skivvies up the flagpole! Well, let's quote your ol' partner of obtuseness, Gilbert: "Prove it - with unequivocal and absolute definitiveness". Otherwise you will violate HIS rules!

"Prove it - with unequivocal and absolute definitiveness"
Really, Gilbert, really????
You just don't get it do you?
Re: “Bill O'Reilly and Dennis Miller Coming, Boldly and Freshly, to the Ryman”
@AnglRdr: I rant against criminals of all elements but for purposes of your argument you, of course, refuse to remember that fact, but in doing so you give me a chance to reiterate that if it wasn't for minority criminal activity we could do away with two thirds of our police force and prisons, and also the chance to say that few minority leaders ever encourage minorities to clean up their acts. It's so damn easy to stay out of jail - don't break the law! Minority criminals are overwhelmingly the same individuals that gave teachers problems and disrupted classes and were schoolyard bullies and eventually dropped out. In short, they were/are assholes but, hey, it's so much easier to say the white man is holding them down, mmm-hmmm.
Re: “Bill O'Reilly and Dennis Miller Coming, Boldly and Freshly, to the Ryman”
I stand corrected, Tobin. Bill is still a blowhard and spins facts to suit his predetermined talking points.

Best part about this is the ad at the Ryman page.

Re: “Bill Haslam and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week”
Bob K is right. Prior to Haslam & Friends, Tennessee had a conservative, pro-business development mindset that acknowledged the need for investment in public education, higher education, in rural infrastructure development (including keeping rural hospitals afloat), and projecting an image to prospective employers that Tennessee is not a backwater. We were generous with incentives to lure industry (and got stupidly so under Bredesen), but tried to project an image of competent, pro-business leadership. That is gone, thanks to the clowns in power now. Now we right big checks to businesses with no accountability for the result and no public examination of where it's going and why. We let our colleges crumble and teach mythology as science in our schools. We forgo a chance to extend basic healthcare to hundreds of thousands of working poor people, endangering our rural hospitals. The new governing mindset is based on cronyism and ignorance- the first essential characteristics of an economic backwater. But hey, it'll be electorally safe for the GOP!

"Bill spins so fast and so often that he generates his own gravitational field."
Gravitational fields are created by mass, not rotation.
Re: “Bill Haslam and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week”
Oh FFS, bobs, please at least try to add something to the conversation.
Re: “Bill O'Reilly and Dennis Miller Coming, Boldly and Freshly, to the Ryman”
@xray: "I also comment on numskulls [sic] who need racial division to justify their existence "
So why have you never called bobs out on his attempts at racial division?
Further, you should call yourself out. While you say you speak of the "criminal elements of black society and how they affect the decent people of black society," you remain curiously silent on criminal elements in your own society and how they affect the decent people of your own society.
My suggestion to you: keep your side of the street clean before you start touting yourself as such a paragon of virtue.
Re: “The Southern Baptist Convention Walks a Fine Line”
Well, perhaps they do not claim to be much better. They don't wish to dictate political policy based on religious views, a strategy clearly violating the constitution. Perhaps they do not condemn people based on facts of birth and sexual identity, or for exercising their religious freedom in a non intrusive manner. Perhaps they realize that this country was founded by virtue of diversity; ethnic, religious, and socially. Perhaps they are the antithesis to you!
BTW: Nice story, try using it as a personal model for YOUR ethics!
Re: “Bill O'Reilly and Dennis Miller Coming, Boldly and Freshly, to the Ryman”
@NeverFear - Barney Frank is smarter than both of those two guys. Whoopie is funnier than either one of them. And Chris Mathews is a better man, father and human being than both of those two combined. Funny you should mention them.
Re: “Bill Haslam and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week”
>>I don't' know about DHS<<
Exactly! You "don't know" shit from shinola. Typical libtard.
Re: “Bill Haslam and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week”
Oh bobsguns, how typical of you all. Blame it on someone else.
I don't' know about DHS, but in Labor, he appointed a totally incompetent Commissioner who in turn fired experienced employees and hired more incompetent cronies.
Pretty typical of how Republicans have destroyed decades of well-run state government. You know like dismantling the economic development team that brought Tennessee more Japanese investment than any other state in the country. An economic development team which was built starting with Frank Clement and Andy Holt at the graduate school of public administration at UTK.
And in general services, we know the problems are exactly like economic development. Haslem simply wanted to give money to his buddies so they could make more money at the expense of the citizens of Tennessee.
You are wrong bubba. Haslem has done more harm to this state in 2 years than all governors in the past 50 years.
Re: “Bill O'Reilly and Dennis Miller Coming, Boldly and Freshly, to the Ryman”
Fear not fellow posters, Barney Frank & Whoopie Goldberg will be appearing together
here soon to collect the Liberal dollars. Not sure of the name of their tour, but Chris
Matthews may be their special Nashville only guest.
Re: “Bill Haslam and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week”
>>has overseen the downfall of three state departments (Labor, Children's Services, and General Services<<
And if you think those 3 departments' issues began during Haslam's term, then I have a NFL team to sell you in Memphis..............

Jeez, would someone PLEASE go ahead & shoot this guy, finally? How's he avoided getting killed so far in his thug-filled life?
Re: “Bill Haslam and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week”
I'm confused over the Judge's insistence that an opinion from the Attorney General is an absolute necessity on any law passed. Such opinion may be helpful in drafting a law, but to be a "must" before legal passage just doesn't sound correct.
Re: “The Southern Baptist Convention Walks a Fine Line”
"Anybody that says it's easy to earn the rank of Eagle Scout doesn't know wtf he's talking about."
Well, you certainly seem to be an expert on not knowing wtf you're talking about.
