Actually Rob,
I have done research and I do understand the Islamic religion. (No Bubba, I'm not a muslim) History tells us what to expect and how to expect it to be done. "Those who forget the past, re-live the past."
This is but one citation of past events in the middle east but with a surprise. Who do you think was the agressor in this battle?
Fulk of Chartres recalled that… “many fled to the roof of the temple of Solomon, and were shot with arrows, so that they fell to the ground dead. In this temple almost ten thousand were killed. Indeed, if you had been there you would have seen our feet colored to our ankles with the blood of the slain. But what more shall I relate? None of them were left alive; neither women nor children were spared”
The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter. (Quran 5:33)
…fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression and there prevail justice and faith in Allah… (Quran 2:193)

You didn't read the poll, which is only one of all polls that show more people are conservative, you just shot from the hip as usual.
"As is typical in recent years, Republicans are far more unified in their political outlook than are either independents or Democrats. While 72% of Republicans in 2009 call their views conservative, independents are closely split between the moderate and conservative labels (43% and 35%, respectively). Democrats are about evenly divided between moderates (39%) and liberals (37%)."

Charles Craphammer, as usual, presents not one single fact to back up his assertions of fantasy. those lines Robot posted could just as easily have been lifted from a fiction book about King Arthur or the bible, as from Mr. Craphammer. IT's an interesting point he makes, but there is no reality-based explanation for it, especially considering the republicans who won are moderates, showing that even the republican party is moving and has to move to the left if they want to win. hence, the idea that "conservatism is dead."
about that gallup poll - I thought "moderates" and "liberals" are the same thing? If so, liberals far outnumber conservatives, even in the poll that Robot cited. by about 55 to 40 percent? thats a pretty big margin Robot. get back in your bomb shelter, its still not safe to come out.
there is nothing a black president can do right to you bigots. if there had been no bailout, more teachers would be laid off, property taxes would be even higher, more county city and state employees laid off, etc. and you "conservatives" would be complaining the black president should have done a bailout. with a bailout, unemployment slows down but continues to rise, some people still get laid off, and it's the black president's fault because he signed a bailout. do I smell even more hypocrisy?

In your post you said "In the military of the past, someone who expressed things like that were simply beaten to within an inch of their lives, or until they shaped up. Different world now, apparently."
This is assault!! By today's laws this is not allowed in the military or even in society. Especially in the officer ranks where this would earn you a dishonorable discharge and court marshal. Anyway, under the anti-descrimitory laws of today you cannot hold race, religion, or political views against someone.
You posted further that "This will send a shock through our military at the worst possible time."

PELOSI: Absolutely. Without question.
But tonight, when asked if Speaker Pelosi will leave the bill online for 72 hours after we see what's in the rule, Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly replied in an email: "No; [the] pledge was to have manager’s amendment online for 72 hours, and we will do that."

Oh that's not all! Not by a longshot!
But the loss of jobs last month exceeded economists' estimates. It's the 22nd straight month the U.S. economy has shed jobs, THE LONGEST ON RECORD DATING BACK 70 YEARS.
Counting those who have settled for part-time jobs or stopped looking for work, the unemployment rate would be 17.5 percent, the highest on records dating from 1994.
The jobless rate rose to 10.2 percent from 9.8 percent in September. The jump reflects a sharp increase in the tally of unemployed Americans, which rose to 15.7 million from 15.1 million. That was much larger than the net loss of jobs, which is based on a survey of businesses.
Economists say it could climb as high as 10.5 percent next year because employers remain reluctant to hire.

November 2009: what happened?
“…the most important effect of Tuesday's elections is historical. It demolishes the great realignment myth of 2008. …it was ushering in an FDR-like realignment for the 21st century in which new demographics -- most prominently, rising minorities and the young -- would bury the GOP far into the future. One book proclaimed "The Death of Conservatism," This was all ridiculous from the beginning. The '08 election was a historical anomaly. A uniquely charismatic candidate was running at a time of deep war weariness, with an intensely unpopular Republican president, against a politically incompetent opponent, amid the greatest financial collapse since the Great Depression. And still he won by only seven points.”
“Virginia -- presumed harbinger of the new realignment, having gone Democratic in '08 for the first time in 44 years -- went red again. With a vengeance. Barack Obama had carried it by six points. The Republican gubernatorial candidate won by 17 -- a 23-point swing. New Jersey went from plus-15 Democratic in 2008 to minus-four in 2009. A 19-point swing.”
“The Obama coattails of 2008 are gone. The expansion of the electorate, the excitement of the young, came in uniquely propitious Democratic circumstances and amid unparalleled enthusiasm for electing the first African American president.”
November '08 was one shot, one time, never to be replicated. Nor was November '09 a realignment. It was a return to the norm -- and definitive confirmation that 2008 was one of the great flukes in American political history.
The irony of 2009 is that the anti-Democratic tide overshot the norm
Just last month Gallup found that conservatives outnumber liberals by 2 to 1 (40 percent to 20 percent) and even outnumber moderates (at 36 percent). That’s some death of conservatism.

Maybe you need a three step security plan.
1. Report the threats to the authorities like you did.
2. Install decent electronic monitoring. When I rebuilt, I had 3 cameras, solar powered, with small transmitters, installed. You can't get within 80-100 ft of my house without being on 24/7 video...and it's saved to a hard drive buried in a steel box 2 feet underground in the woods around me. The only wires that show is one to the small solar panel powering the hard drive/processor underground and the small exposed antenna...and I defy anyone to find it. Only three folks know it's location...the installer from out of the county, an attorney in Gwinnett, and me, It also sees in the dark, BTW.
A system like that runs just a wee bit under a thousand dollars...worth it when rebuilding after arson...or if you think a person threatening you is nuts enough to follow through.
3. Keep the Glock loaded and handy.

Jack,
I have to agree with you about the county tax model issue. Every sector of society has to adjust to the times, including government. There is no business on earth that can simply operate in a vacuum regardless of their revenue situation. Government makes up their own rules. Individual budgets, per unit have increased or remained flat despite the fact that revenue is down because of the economy! To fix that, they raised our taxes.
I read that the PCSO’s budget proposal shows a 12% increase from last year. Donnie sites increased insurance prices and the need to replace patrol cars. At least I admire his willingness to present this problem personally to the taxpayers. It shows character and responsibility. I am still concerned about the increase, however. And knowing that it is foolish to mitigate increases in police budgets by using the furlough, there has to be solution. Like you mentioned, moving budget from one agency to another or suspending pay increases. There is already a hiring freeze. Something else has to give. The schools are being furloughed to death and 2010’s budget is still flat to last year.
I still believe we’re here right now because Washington wasted a solid year in producing a REAL recovery plan. Reagan did it in 8 months.

Re: County $$$
Whether its the sheriff's office, the tax departments, the courts or any other segment of local, state and national government, it's time to bit the bullet and reduce the taxpayers costs. If this means reduced services or the number of employees then DO IT. It would not be fair to reduce one department to accomodate another.
When private income of citizens is reduced it demands a reduction in the costs of all others including those who work for the taxpayers that fund them.
Rob Jones has done a reasonable job in most instances. The County budget must be reduced to reflect what will come in the door same as any private citizen must do when their pay is downgraded.

Ths is just crazy, she turned around and endorsed Owens, the democrat, who is not likely to be there very long. It was a fluke.

Rules specify at least 2 Republicans must be present to release it. Hence, establishing a quorum.
What does this mean? Boxer wants to pass legislation that will all but cripple us with energy costs, all by herself. You remember Boxer, who demanded a General call her “senator” on the senate floor after he properly called her “ma’am”:

Ladies and gents, after over 31 common sense ammendment proposals made by the Republicans to various health care plans in comittees were summarily dismissed by Nancy Pelosi, House Republicans have introduced a comprehensive health care plan designed to affect health care on the COST side... it is 219 pages long, IS AFFORDABLE, and UNINTRUSIVE.
Right on the title page it declares the following purpose:
PURPOSE.—The purpose of this Act is to take meaningful steps to lower health care costs and increase access to health insurance coverage (especially for individuals with preexisting conditions) without—
(1) raising taxes;
(2) cutting Medicare benefits for seniors;
(3) adding to the national deficit;
(4) intervening in the doctor-patient relationship; or
(5) instituting a government takeover of healthcare.
The high points:
Number one: let families and businesses buy health insurance across state lines.
Number two: allow individuals, small businesses, and trade associations to pool together and acquire health insurance at lower prices, the same way large corporations and labor unions do.
Number three: give states the tools to create their own innovative reforms that lower health care costs.
Number four: end junk lawsuits that contribute to higher health care costs by increasing the number of tests and procedures that physicians sometimes order not because they think it's good medicine, but because they are afraid of being sued.

In regards to "Obama the Greats" making homes affordable program....We purchased a home about 5 years ago and, at the time, had a few "glitches" on our credit, so we got a ARM with a relatively high interest rate. After seeing on the news all these folks getting these nice 2% fixed-rate interest rates, I decided to contact my mortgage company and apply. I sent in all the paperwork and after two months received a call saying that we "did not qualify" - BECAUSE we are (1) not behind on our payments and (2) our debt to income ratio is relatively low. WHAT DOES THAT TEACH PEOPLE if you are half-way responsible and do without to make sure you make your payments on time and do not "live beyond your means" you don't qualify for these great interest rates, but if you're completely irresponsible, don't make your payments on time and get butthole deep in debt, Obama takes care of you and gives you wonderful interest rates. Something is terribly WRONG with that picture!

Old Gaurd: You read those emails and then you try to justify it in some strange way by implying Rob did something wrong.
You want to debate things yet how can anyone possibly take you serious?? Debating in your world is simple... Disagree with anyone or anything for the sake of disagreement. Disagree even if it makes you look stupid which it almost always does. Maybe you had a bit too much dog for dinner?

As far as anyone thinking I sent threatening language to the other party, sorry to disappoint, didn't happen.
I sent:
"what was all that! All you had to say was 'it wasn't me!"
"Dude you really have lost your marbles, you should consider shutting your mouth, you make yourself appear more insane everytime you talk"
The last thing I sent, which is what I thought I should do at the time, was a paste of the law regarding threatening communications. That's all. I then received the 8:52pm email from him about "your warning me? try doing that to my face" And the infamous country bumpkin remark.
That was pretty much the straw for me. Now Gerd and the rest, you may think what you want but these are the facts. Now can we move on? Or don't you liberal nuts have better things to discuss?

Old Nard,
With all due respect I do not care what you invited me out for. That wasn't the basis of my post. It actually didn't concern you at all. It was metaphoric.
As far as the laws I quote, one is defined as an identity theft law, you are correct, but it protects against nefarious use of someone's identifying information. Like I said, it is very broad. You asked me to look up the legal protections, so I complied.
Like I said 100 times, get over me.

Can we now get off the Chooch thing. I think he has fully ruined any credibility he had left.
Interesting approach Donnie Craig is taking. Letting the people tell him what they want him to do with the budget. He may be in office a long time if he keeps this up. Imagine an elected official that actually listens to the people. Nice concept!
