I just banned Liberalmann from posting any more comments. “You are a f*cking liar” is not dialogue and I’m just sick of it. To the guy who tells me I’m bringing harassment upon myself, say it again and you will be banned. I have your IP address, and your email, if it’s real. Do you think I would go out there and impersonate and harass you with it? No I would not, even though you hurl insults at me day after day.
To the guy who accuses me of advocating gunning people down – do it again and I’ll ban you, too. I have never advocated any sort of thing.
To those on our side who do advocate violence, please stop. You’re making it worse. We all have the right to defend ourselves, we all agree on that. Leave it at that, please. I really do hate banning people from posting their thoughts here, but it’s getting completely out of hand.
The other side is terribly uncivil. Let’s not become like them.
Thank you. I will now try to get back to blogging.
Update: Richard from Texas is the one who told me I brought harassment upon myself. I was even willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and sent him an email letting him know I was in no mood for his BS. He left another insulting comment so I banned him, too. Anyone else care to get banned? Now’s your chance. I’m really looking forward to it.
Excellent idea!

Thanks, guys. I can only like or dislike once, too. What’s up with that? Oh well, I can delete and ban, so I guess that kinda makes up for it.
As a kid I had a teacher who let a lot of things slide. I was always good in school, but even I misbehaved in his class. I feel like he must have felt when he finally had enough. It was a bad day for all involved. I still remember it. All of the kids got in trouble, and so did the teacher. Those were the days, eh?
Now, if the harassment stops, and my virus scan finishes up and stops slowing down my computer (felt it was a necessity today), I can try to get back to work.

Hussein has been allowed, nay, encouraged to act like a spoiled brat as part his “patriotic” duty to bring “fairness” (communism) to an unfair, “imperialistic” society of “selfish” capitalism. He is no longer, chronologically, a child, and has a lifetime of his way being made for him, and his trespasses/failings being carefully covered from view. May we suppose he will just lie down for the decisions of courts… or the citizens in November? Or may we expect that he will use the 100,000 new #OWS-ers being trained right now to help bring down righteous revolution upon “The Man” over the summer that the population must then be militarily protected from in the fall?

You know, I’m sorta new to this blogging thing, but I feel you. Leftists resort to the lowest tactics to get their point across, and if we ban them we are intolerant and racist.
Although I don’t mind engaging the trolls (trust me…I REALLY don’t mind it lol),it gets boring after a while because it’s always ”you bring this on yourself you right wing nut”…
Keep up the good work!!

The Impolite Canadian is an old friend of mine from the dusty ole days of message board forums. He is quite familiar with the troll tactic they’ve been using against us now which involves making fake accounts and posting terrible things while pretending to be one of us in order to damage our reputations. I was so happy when he joined the Dextrosphere and delighted to see him meeting & making friends with my beloved blogging friends! He’s a great person to have on your side, too.

If we do not know what their tactics are, how on earth are we supposed to counteract the nonsense. They just grind us down and make us spin our wheels, negating all the time and work we put into it. Meanwhile they get to spin their nonsense, and their attack machine just rolls on.

I have seen many fine places become unvisitable because they let the leftists run wild and harass all the normal people who try to comment there. A mighty BAN HAMMER is a GOOD thing. There are so many blogs I won’t visit anymore because they let the trolls take over. You can’t even comment to a post you like and say “nice work” without the cretins harassing you in response. Why give your self declared enemies free reign on your own property and give them a free access to the audience that you’ve worked so hard to build? Why let them harass people who come here because they are interested in what you have to say and want to comment to you unmolested? Nuts to that. Good for you finding the Mighty BAN HAMMER. Well done and not a moment too soon!

Ditto, Zilla. I’ve seen other blogs where the leftie trolls go down the threads all day personally attacking the other posters (often mentioning sexual acts or bodily functions). I’ve seen some rack up 1000 comments per month.

I bet they get paid – by Soros or whoever. How else does somebody have the time to do all that ? And speaking of Soros – have folks noticed all this stuff on tv and in the papers “china has a better model”, “china has a better functioning government”. I saw it in the NY Times, and last nite on TV. It is not a recent development in general, but now seems to be out in the open. A little research on that topic about who has been promoting that will probably tell us a lot about why things are going downhill.

We thought the same thing – the trolls must get paid, since they were at their computers all day long (we called them Soros-trolls). It’s no secret that Soros is throwing big money around to try and influence American politics, especially through the media. It’s rather annoying, since he’s a Marxist who thinks America should be “changed”.
I just love it when he says China has a better gov’t. China doesn’t allow dissent; they can imprison you anytime they want if they think you’re ‘disloyal’.

Must be a glitch. Thanks for answering. I am ready when the shyte hits the fan. Just purchased another handgun. Obama and his goons don’t have the stones to take our guns away. If they try, there will be blood in the streets, and it won’t be mine. Acquire as many weapons as you can. Obama will steal this election by massive voter fraud, and then in his 2nd term will try and get the 2nd Amendment nullified. Come and get me douche bags!!!

As an NRA life member, I just received a letter from Chris Cox, the legal eagle there stating the United Nations will be voting on the Arms Trade Treaty in July. Basically, this “treaty” is a World-wide gun ban and gun destruction effort to which Obama and his ilk approve of and which the UN has been working on for more than a decade; perhaps waiting on the proper anti-gun POTUS. G.W. Bush & John Bolton told the UN where to stick their treaty some years ago.
I believe it is imperative that Obama be soundly defeated in November and the GOP take back control of the Senate. I am nearly 80 years old and I have NEVER seen America in such deep trouble; all of which – I firmly believe – was at the hand of a Socialist/Marxist POTUS who has made it his goal to destroy Capitalism and turn the United States of America into a struggling Third World Nation and no longer a Super Power.
America and red blooded Americans are crying out for a different leader to take us back to where we should be. BTW, I’m a Conservative leaning Independent with guns and ammo for them!

Just found your site. Enjoy the back-and-forth. As for banning the trolls, I have always believed what I heard early in life: Free speech is a terrific early warning system. Of course, “your blog, your rules” works as the ultimate arbiter of rudeness quite decently, but I still love seeing and hearing from the lunatic extreme as it continually outs itself. One must have order . . . but at least give the trolls a moment in the sunlight so that we might learn from them before you trip the hammer.

So Gary, if “The world is progressing…(and we) are getting left behind”, which part of the “progressing world” would you prefer will follow along with?
The European part which is on the verge of bankruptcy (or in the case of Greece, all ready IN bankruptcy)?
Or the part of the world like China where the government has so much control over individual lives they can tell you how many kids you can have?
And do we even have to get into the poverty and dictatorships of South America, Africa, or the Middle East?
Is that is the “progress” of the rest of the world that your referring to?
I’m not xenophobic, I don’t have anything against other cultures, I’m just a proud ethnocentric, I happen to think our way of life is the best. Is that wrong? and if so, then why?
My question to you would be if you don’t think our way of life is the best, than why don’t you move somewhere else?
I prefer that our country stays a WORLD LEADER, not turn into a WORLD FOLLOWER.
