CSPAN televised a debate in Toronto and it was a real fireworks display. The debate was on the proposed resolution the Canadians put together about American democracy. They wanted to have a vote on Trump actually. The left was Andrew Sullivan and E.J. Dionne. The right was Newt Gingrich and Kimberley Strassel of the Editorial Board of the Wall Street Journal. The moderator did a crappy job. Of course, the left in the audience was rude and disruptive when the "righty" speakers were on. The "righty" audience members were never disruptive when the lefty speakers were yapping.
Here is the link and I recommend you watch it all the way through. It is so relevant to the "divide".

What fascinates me is this. The left and the right are 180 degrees off. Even the facts are that much off. Every single point brought up was disputed in the 180 degrees off mode! It was like a different planet's people were debating! I actually yelled at the liberals a few times. Thank goodness my windows were closed. I am a voracious reader of news and I prize facts. The lefty debaters made up most of their crap while the righty ones did not. And the moderator allowed the lefty yappers to over-talk the righty ones when they were talking. Totally blew the debate decorum in my view.
The lefty debaters are no different than the antifa in Berkeley or any college campus these days. If you are a conservative they are all about shouting you down or interrupting so the people can't hear you. They even did this to Newt. But in their zeal to shout down the right, you will see they made the liberals look really bad.
The point of the debate was simple. Is Trump undermining democracy? And the left in their tabloid way did their best to insinuate Trump does. The right said there is no legal undermining and democracy and the rule of law are maintained. Emotions and finger pointing and lies as usual by the left. Facts and backup information and the actual laws were presented by the right. In the end, the Canadians, (most are liberals), probably sided with the emotional arguments of the left. The conservatives sided with the actual facts and laws as presented by the right. They did not tell us the results.
If you are weak-kneed about these kinds of things I still think you need to watch and listen. You will see how deranged the left is and how smooth and brainy the right is.
mein Gott! you sound like a self conscious teenager who imagines people are talking about him or her. I started to listen to the debate and didn't hear a constant snickers or rudeness unless you call clapping a form of rude behavior.
ReplyDeleteThen you are lying. The crowd started right in on Limberley.
DeleteMy response to a whiner in the Union on Terry Mac's posts.
Delete"Terry Mac's comments were in order and fairly descriptive. The Assembly person's were outrageous and divise. So there you have it in a nutshell. Boisvert and I see the same words and disagree as to their meaning and affect. That is called legitimate disagreement. As far as "coming together" in a political sense. The profession is all about electing people we as individuals like and agree with. When the person gets fifty percent plus one vote then their philosophy is in play. That is called the real world. What is facinating to me about liberals in California is this. They bemoan Trump and the Republicans in Congress yet never complain about their own "super-majority" here in California. Until you liberals start the same argiuments for changing our state, then you are not to be believed for any sincerity."
"Until you liberals start the same (arguments?) for changing our state, then you are not to be believed for any sincerity."
DeleteLiberals will not ever be sincere.
Have you Todd ever met a sincere liberal you can have an intelligent discussion with? I have not and I consider myself an "H20" conservative for over fifty-four years and have an open mind but with that being said,
Never have been able to convince a "Liberal Slippery Turd"
I do not debate half-wits.

Jut thought I would point out their total hypocrisy.
DeleteYou did point that out but did not much else.
DeleteThe most hated unemployed journalist FUE got scooped by the Union on the 4th district supervisor race announcement by Sue Hoek. Podunk is quaffing gallons of box whine & chili cheese fry's. ROFLOL
ReplyDeleteI just heard it on the radio too.
DeleteDear Moron,
DeleteA press release was sent out to all. Who cares? BTW, why don't you sign your name? You are a village idiot.
Oh Jeff Pelline, ytou just signed as anonymous. So are you a moron and a village idiot?
DeleteTodd,
DeleteI have showed your blog to a neighbor of mine who also owns a second home at Lake Tahoe and is a clinical psychologist in Napa. He said some of the people who comment here have signs of mental illness. He said you have created an "unsafe place." He was surprised when I told him you were a former Nevada County supervisor. Anyway, that was the feedback.
It would be fair to say this blog is not a snowflake safe zone and good on Todd for that!
DeleteThe neighbor in my view is mentally ill as is the person whp told him about this blog. It is not a safe zone for you and your ilk so move along to one that suits your fancy. It won't hurt my feelings.
DeleteTodd,
DeleteDenying a problem doesn’t make it go away any more than putting your hands over your eyes makes the world disappear. Good luck with this!
What is the problem? Seems you are making things up again.
DeleteWhat? More mindless dribble from Pelline? Is this his dribble below?

Mr Pellinskie me thinks has a ding bat friend friend is a nut and nuts of the feather flock together.
I don't give a rat's ass where your friend lives and in fact where you do either but if you slide your little fat ass up the hill and don't slide back down it would be "A God send"

Tim Gore,
DeleteIs this you? http://www.theunion.com/news/crime/nevada-county-couple-take-plea-in-animal-neglect-case/
Do tell!
"Todd,
DeleteDenying a problem doesn’t make it go away any more than putting your hands over your eyes makes the world disappear. Good luck with this!"
I am sure you wrote the above Pelinksie, but Harry Corrigan, wrong Way Corrigan's brother an EE with a PHD at Douglas Aircraft in Long Beach, who I worked with in the electrical engineering design group at Douglas in 1968 before the first flight of the DC-10 the Texas Instrument remote control circuit breakers were exploding and I asked Harry at lunch one day whats the fix? Harry took a puff of his Dunhill cigar and took a sip of his martini and in his normally gruff voice said, "Present all the problems and the conclusion is obvious".
Pellinskie is the problem so I ask you all what is the obvious conclusion?
My suggestion is obvious, ignore him totally and exterminate him in total.
2nd choice call Clark Pest Control.
Tim Gore
And Pelline says he ALWAYS signs his real name. What a hoot!
DeletePresident Trump to the widow of Sgt. Johnson:........" they know the risk, they know what they sign up for but they still volunteer to put their lives on the line for their fellow americans. We owe them a debt that can never be repaid".

DeleteI'm not sure which is more sad....that you persist in this, your usual line of "I know a psychologist" bullshit or that there is actually the possibility that you waddled all 600 lbs. over to a neighbors house to make him look at a blog!
Looks like jeffie is off the distribution list. LOL
ReplyDeleteNo, I ignored it. Not important to me. And you?
DeleteLooks like "it" is off the meds also. Hide the Cheetos!
DeleteRight you are all in on food porn now, who cares about breaking news.
ReplyDelete"Breaking news"? Yes, for podunks like you! lol. And sign you name! You lily livered coward. lol.
ReplyDeleteYou lily livered coward
DeleteMmmmm.....liver! With crackers and diced onions!
- TRUE FUE
Scoopy at his finest, anon says" And sign you name! You lily livered coward. lol" You cant make this stuff up.
ReplyDeleteYou have a mental illness. If you have any friends or love ones, they should be urging you to seek help. Ask them what prompted you to write out of the blue: "The most hated unemployed journalist FUE got scooped by the Union on the 4th district supervisor race announcement by Sue Hoek. Podunk is quaffing gallons of box whine & chili cheese fry's. ROFLOL" It is a sign of an unstable person to write something like this out of the blue.
ReplyDeleteSo, the above 1:50 PM post from the 500 lb typo obsessed hypocrite claims that another anonymous poster is mentally ill! Now that is great comedy! "My Doctor friend say you are nuts! LOL!
DeleteTHE FINAL WORD, THE MORE PEOPLE I MEET, THE MORE I LIKE MY ENGLISH BULLDOGS.
DeleteTIM GORE
You two are funny!
DeleteOk Neckbeards!!!
DeleteWTF are neckbeards?
DeleteThe podunk fue is the most hated "man" in Nevada County for a reason. BECAUSE "HE" DESERVES IT!
ReplyDeletePellinskie in my summation has no moral or normal social redeeming values that most of have but is subject to regression which he cannot contain that causes him to demean normal people because of his major dislike for normal people as he hates himself for not being normal. He also knows he will never be normal and that knowledge causes his abnormal behavior toward society he can not contain. His mental state is certainly not stable and can implode at any time. He really needs to seek professional to diffuse his radical thinking.
DeleteY’all need Jesus. 😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteThanks Barry and we all do and true faith as well. I do not need to be reminded but others posting on this group should take your advice.
DeleteTongue in cheek.
DeleteTongue in cheek? Is that applicable?
DeleteYes Todd. Joking. I see that all is normal back in Nevada County! Lol.
ReplyDeleteWe are so normal we became un-normal. LOL!
