" mattie is this true? are you really a teacher in ontario? are you correcting MY grammer and punctuation cause you cant get the students you teach to do it? last time i checked nyssa's equivalency tests were among the HIGHEST in the STATE. uhhhhh-nevermind i dont like to pour salt on a wound.

and as for you BALANCED, im not even sure that little statement of yours is even worth a response. but since you were kind enough to think of me and let me get under your skin, i think i'll give one. OK so if you're watching billo today, when he is interviewing somebody who has different views from him, when he is asking them questions, he will let them talk for a little bit. then, he mercelessly cuts them off when they are starting to make sense. he cannot stand when people make more sense than he does. and that happens very often on his show. but if you want to continue to watch and slowly stupidify yourself, be it from me to stop you.

and i will have a great day "

" Stuckduck, do you work hard on trying to annoy people or is that just one of those natural talents you have? Fox news is the most balanced of any news network by far. Bill O'reilly has more common sense in his little finger than you apparently have in your entire body. Have a great day pinhead. "

" guess what mattie? i think we found your niche. SPELLCHECK. you have done a great job of checking my grammer and puctuation, all the while not letting anything i have posted sink into your head.

great job of being a stubborn,bitter, old man. although you may consider yourself young, dont bet on it. this country is changing and unless you tag along for the ride you're going to get left behind. we didnt vote for obama cause he was black. we voted for him because he is going to get this country out of this RUT. all caused by people who think EXACTLY like you. now if you dont change your train of thought, you will forever be a bitter old man.

now mattie i counted 12 grammer errors. see if you can find them and get back to me. thats all im really interested in hearing from you. oopps now 14.

and guess what, if by citizens of nyssa being respectful, upstanding people. i know that you are right about that. but if you are talking about the 10 people you know, that can actually sit still long enough to hear you WHINE about this country, im sure they dont want to hear about it. "

" To Matt. How can you be so "Down" on Nyssa School? Didn't you get your education there? Aren't you also a teacher in Ontario?? Hope you keep your politics to yourself when you're in the classroom. "

" Mr./Ms. Stuckduck, Since most of the people that I know in Nyssa are respectful, upstanding members of the community, I can tell from the candor of your post that you clearly are not one of them.

I never mentioned ANYTHING in my post about a recession, but YOU did. The recession started under President Bush's watch, if you must know, but then he had a democrat-controlled house and senate to deal with too, in addition to republicans-in-name-only who didn't have the fortitude to stand up to President Bush when he proposed his massive spending bills (but nowhere near as massive as "ObamaCare" or Cap and Trade). There is plenty of blame to go around, to include millions upon millions of Americans who chose to run up massive amounts of credit that they could never hope to pay off.
I, however, am not whining, because I never bought a house that I could never pay off.
I did mention hyperinflation by referring to Zimbabwe, but since that's too big of a word for you, I won't go into it's definition at this time, or how we'll get there.
Next topic, please:
Saddam himself WAS a weapon of mass destruction! You like to talk about WMDs--great! Saddam used them against the Iranians during the Iran-Iraq war of the 80s. He used them against the Kurds in the late 80s. He even had a member of his high command, Ali Hassan al-Majid, who went under the nickname of "Chemical Ali." The intelligence services of several nations including England, Italy and Russia all believed that he had WMDs. In addition, Iraq was shooting at our aircraft, as we were enforcing a UN-mandated "No Fly Zone." Yes, the UN, whom lefties love to point to as the savior of the world, or is that Barack Obama? One and the same if he's left unchecked. You can blame President Bush all you want, but it still takes congressional approval to go to war.
Next topic:
Judge Sotomayor: your attempt at argument is sophomoric at best and you can't punctuate or capitalize correctly. Perhaps you taught at Nyssa High School. I'll quote you in your feeble attempt to provide an argument--emotional at best, but I will have you refer to what I said earlier as to my argument. It still stands. And my name is Matt (now mattie, if Mrs. Sotomayor is a closet rascist, how do you know? were you in closet with her? do YOU have your own closet you need to come out of? or are you proud cause you've already made the leap out of the closet.)
My question to you Mr./Ms. Stuckduck, using your method of debate is: How can you NOT KNOW that Judge Sotomayor is a closet racist (or rascist, as you learned to spell it at the U of O).
Next topic:
I don't watch Bill O'Reilly. I have better things to do with my time. Plus I wasn't whining. I do believe I referred to laughter in my previous post. Laughter reserved for people such as yourself who can't punctuate or put together an argument correctly. Laughter reserved for all those who were suckered into voting for Barack Hussein Obama, knowing he was going to lead us further into the black hole of debt started by Pres. Bush. "

" Hey Matt, your blog sounds like whining to me. "

" so mattie are you telling me that a country can go into a recession in only 7 months. wow. oh wait hold on a minute, didnt we start early phases of it in august. now wait a minute, if PRESIDENT OBAMA was elected in november? and it the recession started before that...hmmm..im confused about the whole blaming thing. anyway, we'll get back to that.

so imagine this scenario, someone sends billions and billions of dollars overseas, in order to fund a war with a country that had weapons of mass dest-..oh whoops they never found any...ok so we'll attack a country and get the man responsible for 9/11...nope we didnt do that either...well america really could have used that money right about now..all thanks to president bush. now unless you are really that ingorant or just refuse to OPEN your eyes about what has happened to america, then i dont know what else to tell you.

now mattie, if Mrs. Sotomayor is a closet rascist, how do you know? were you in closet with her? do YOU have your own closet you need to come out of? or are you proud cause you've already made the leap out of the closet.

now mattie, do you know that what you hear on TV isnt real..especially that BUFFOON bill o'reilly..do you know that he was on Inside Edition? and now he has his own show cause he is really good at reading the teleprompter...and guess what, i am so glad you brought up WHINING...well fox news, if you listen to it for a whole day,non-stop. then at night when you shut it off, the volume on the TV must be all the way up, you can actually hear your speakers are still whining from everything they have encountered that day...give it a shot...

well mattie, i to am from nyssa, and im sorry to say that there is someone in my town that will not like me tomorrow. well i probably wont catch up to you, since you'll probably be watching fox news all day thinking of something else to cry-whoops i mean blog about. "

" I HAVE BEEN READING THE ARGUS FOR 30+ YEARS AND CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IN IS THIS MODERN DAY THAT A PAPER WILL PRINT THE VITROLIC,RACIST AND WOMAN HATER WORDS OF MR. HICKS.ITS NOT 1945 ANYMORE IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED: MEN LIKE YOU ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN THANK GOD. YOU NEED TO RETIRE AND GO HOME AND WATCH ARCHIE BUNKER RERUNS FOR FUN. THE "GOOD OLE BOY" SYSTEM IS ON ITS WAY OUT HOPEFULLY. OUR LAST PRESIDENT WAS AN IDIOT THAT COULDN'T EVEN MAKE A IMPROMPTU SPEECH OR ANSWER. HE WAS PROTECTED BY ALL HIS HENCHMEN AND CHANEY LIKE A BABY. HE RAN THIS COUNTRY INTO THE GROUND GIVING ALL HIS OIL AND RICH BUDDIES ALL THE TAX BREAKS AND PLUNDERED OUR FINACIAL SYSTEM IN THE PROCESS. THEY GOT THIERS AND THAT ALL THEY CARED ABOUT. EVEN AT THE EXPENSE OF KILLING OUR YOUNG SOLDIERS FOR THEIR GAIN. THE LIST GOES ON AND IT AMAZES ME THAT THIS PAPER CAN'T EVEN DO ITS HOMEWORK AND VERIFY THE COMPLETEY FALSE FACTS THAT MR. HICKS SPOUTS. I HAVE TAKEN THE ARGUS FOR 30 YEARS AND AM SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT CANCELLING. I KNOW I COULD JUST NOT READ HIS ARTICLE BUT YOU AS A PAPER MUST ENDORSE THIS CRAP OR YOU WOULDN'T EVEN PRINT IT. MAYBE ROY SHOULD MOVE TO A STATE THAT STILL HAS WHITE POWER EXTREMISTS.HE'D FIT RIGHT IN. SHAME ON YOU ARGUS OBSERVER. "

" You left-by-choice whiners are hilarious!

President Obama has demonstrated plenty of buffoonery to keep the right-wing talk show hosts busy for years to come. Let's start with the people he surrounds himself with. I'll name a couple:
Sonia Sotomayor, the SCOTUS candidate is a lady who is a closet racist, and an incompetent judge on top of that. The "wise Latina" comment is a part of who she is to her core, and not a comment that people have been taking "out of context." That WAS THE CONTEXT!
Mr. Gibbs, the Obama Press Secretary. Heck, any of you lefties could do a better job than he could.
Tim Geithner, the Treasury Secretary, who blames Turbo Tax for his inability to pay his taxes. He went to a University in China, recently, to tell them that they can trust their monetary investments in the United States, that the dollar is strong, and our economy is on the rebound. They laugh hilariously at him--just like I laugh hilariously at you lefties.

I'll laugh at you because when inflation starts to rival Zimbabwe, when even my taxes start to go up, when our health care system goes the way of Great Britain and Russia where rationing is the norm and you are put on waiting lists for things that are pretty routine in this country, when I am paying more for basic goods and services because of Cap-and-Trade (if it's passed), that I will have Barack Hussein Obama to blame for it. And, I will have you to blame for voting for him. "

" mr. hicks, first off, i surely doubt you have any friends. and if you do i feel sorry for them when they are in your presence. complaining, bickering, blaming the president for everything that is going on in this nation, even though the problems that exist in this nation are the fault of the previous president.

and in case you havent been around for the last 20 years, the church is failing in america, do not blame it on socialism or whatever else you want to complain about. and guess what, it doesnt help that families PRAY, that their sons or daughters or husbands or wives come back from war. and when they dont they lose faith. lose faith in god, lose faith in the president, and lose faith in their country.

nice try mr. hicks but you arent going to drag me down into your miserable life. "

" At least we were spared the remainder of Mr. Hicks vitriolic comments by the new Argus Policy of making us buy a paper! "

" Boy are you behind the times. That buffoon isn't in the White House anymore. Barack Obama is. The buffoon is back in Texas with all of the other larger than life buffoons. "
