Holding up a liberal to evil lyn is like holding a cruciifix up to a vampire. LOL!

Maher describes himself as a libertarian[8] and believes that, "government is really there to do the things that people absolutely can't do for themselves";[9]
I'm also somewhat libertarian in my outlook......but in the same way as fisconsoclib. I'm liberal socially and conservative fiscally. I even voted for the Libertarian candidate for president both times that Bill Clinton ran for office. You make quite the FOOL of yourself, gussie...every time you attempt (but fail miserably) to define me.

Gee, since you have become a repiglican, I'm not surprised that you dislike him. You changed, sweetie, and not for the better, since you took Hillary's loss so persoanlly.

I have read your blather for years, and listened to Maher's blather when I had no other choice. Like I said, neither of you would know a Libertarian if they sat on you. I've stepped in mud puddles deeper than you, so there isn't much to define.
Bill Maher is a LIBERTARIAN! I know he pisses you off because he attacked Bush with regularity but he also attacks dumb ass Democrats. You wouldn't know that because you can't watch him.... he might hurt your feelings. John Stewart mocks Democrats but there again you can't bear to watch for fear you might get your feeling hurt.

I could do dozens of these, this one took less than 5 minutes. Maher hates capitalism, and free-enterprise, he hates profit, he hates business(all hypocritically, of course). He looks to Uncle Sugar as a cure for all our problems. In short, he is *everything* a Libertarian isn't. The more you people opine, the more uninformed you reveal yourselves to be. No wonder you copy & paste all the time.

Hey, gus thinks he has known my inner thoughts and my life for a long time. He has no idea of who I am or how I live, just what he reads here. I find him quite sad, actually. He needs a get lobotomy and start from scratch. *pfffft*.

Sorry Sable I shut it off when I saw Bill Mahr's [sic] face come up. He's one flaming liberal I refuse to hear or see.
Bill Maher is a LIBERTARIAN.
*****************
yeah....right...libertarian....like john mcCain is a conservative
like arlen specter is republican
like bill clinton is faithful to his wife
like janet reno is a heterosexual
like Obama is not a black liberation theologist

Roby, precious, I have never liked Bill Mahr, even before Hillary Clinton was even in the running for prez. He is clearly "verbally challenged" as his inability to utter the simplest sentence without resorting to gutter language is repulsive and certainly a sign of his low intelligence. That's also the reason I couldn't get through the movie "Gran Torino" -- and several others as well.
As far as change, I thought that's what this entire Obama Administrationw as about!

Oh, I see, that means you are an ego-maniacal pompous ass. Actually, my best revenge is living well. That is why I don't sit here most of the day, like you, thesaurus up your ass, desperate to have the last word. You're sad, bitch, really sad. It must suck sitting in Texas and being you, pounding out insults to anyone who does not share your desperation to be noticed. I'll take the living well road anytime rather than sit here spouting pomposity and irrelevance in a desperate attempt to appear superior. Positive revenge like mine is better than negative revenge like yours. You, my irrelevant dude, are the loser, not I. *chortle*

No, worm, it just means that I'm smarter than you. And the more you comment, the more you respond, the clearer that becomes. I can't help that, it isn't my fault, and I really don't care. I try to ignore morons like you and janie, but you won't allow it, you won't leave me be, you seek coolness from your little buds by responding to my posts, not with any relevant content, but with 3rd-grader insults. That's who you are, and you reinforce it with every post.
Living well? pffttt... I suppose, if that's the best you can do. I'm an accomplished musician, profficent with 3 instruments, and capable on several more. I am a published illustrator, with several books that have done nicely over the years. I have driven across all of the lower 48 states at least once, and hitch-hiked all up and down the northern pacific coast for two years. I have eaten at the finest restaurants in San Francisco, and done my share of dumpster-diving as well. I have survived gunfights, knife fights, and fist fights. I am an excellent marksman with rifle, shotgun, and pistol. I have delivered babies, human, horse, cattle, puppies, and kittens. I can drive anything with wheels or tracks. I am a more than competent mechanic, gunsmith, cook, race-driver, horseman, cattleman, ranch-hand, gardener, tracker, woodsman, hunter, and photographer, among other talents. I read more books in a year that you have read in your entire life. I have "seen the elephant" more times than you have ever even heard of. I've had experiences that you don't even know exist!!!
So what have you done with *your* life, worm? What exactly have you accomplished, or experienced, other than some big-city Jabba-The-Hut bullshit that you seem overly proud of? How far have you traveled from that ant-hill you live in? Delaware? Har! Spare me, you little toad. I've had your number from the first time you insulted me, and you can't stand it. You have no idea how kind and restrained I've been in dealing with you, because you don't have the brains or the insight to realize it. You're a small person, in a little world of your own construct. Deal with it...
Wow Gus, I'm impressed. With ALL your accomplishments how do you find the time to be on this board daily, all day and most of the night?

You are very wrong about how well traveled and experienced Robie is. He is somone I consult frequently for travel advice on locations all over this country and abroad because he has been there and done that.
Now, I've never delivered a puppy or claimed prowess with dangerous weapons, but I've owned homes in two states and a foreign country simultaneously and I'm also capable of paying for my medical care without having to beg for handouts or bragging that as you did "I will not be able to pay for it this lifetime"
I think you are jealous of Robie and his friendships and his lifestyle and his financial security.
Gee, I guess I hit a nerve with gus the blog whore. He appears to be getting more delusional. Musician? I bet you can play the phonograph. Finest restaurants? You already stated that food and fine dining mean little to you. I would guess that Wendy's is your regular haunt. Published illustrator? Please.
Next month, while in Puerto Rico, I will think of you, sitting in your trailer pounding at your keyboard trying so hard to be important. I've been to Europe, cruised the QE2, traveled to Russia and Hawaii and spent weeks traveling from San Francisco to the grand canyon. That's just a sample, because I used to work for Sears IT and completed my 200th business trip right before they closed the NY office. No, gussie mae, I did my share of seeing the world, even though it tics you off.
Yup, sit at your terminal hour after hour and try to be someone. You won't succeed. You are a pompous egomaniacle Munchkin who has no other life and never did. No, gussie mae, you know nothing about me. You have no friends or even acquaintances and the grandiose accomplishments you brag about are merely in your over sized head. Until this time I never really bragged about where I've traveled. I don't need to. But, when a small insignificant snail like you tries to say you have my number, I can't help but become totally defensive. Who the fuck do you think you are? How do you know anything about me? Your lonely existence at a computer keyboard lets all of us know exactly how sad your life is.
If you ever did all that you say, you would not be here for hours on end, you'd be enjoying life as I do.
No, gussie mae, you are as I said , a egotistical, lying, delusional pompous ass. Yes, dear, living well is the best revenge and my doing so eats you up. Deal with it. And if you can't deal with it, take one of your many assault weapons, put the barrel in your big toothless mouth and pull the trigger.
Now, let's see what other bullshit you can come up with to try to convince us you are living. *chortle*

"We are all equal, but we definitely are not the same"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Living well" is in the eye of the beholder. I don't have a fancy house, big car, don't travel a lot -- at least not anymore -- don't have big diamonds, emeralds or rubies. I'm a little long in the tooth and a little heavy on the scales. My butt sags as do other appendages and I have to have two pair of glasses to get through the day.
But I can guarantee you I am one of the happiest people on earth. I have real friends, great neighbors (a bit of a redundancy there). I live in one of the most beautiful places in the U.S. -- maybe the world -- I have a wonderful family, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, a father that's still living and healthy at the tender age of 90, a fantastic stepmother alive and well at the age of 80, and many, many other blessings that make money, houses, travel and cars pale by comparison. I don't just live well, I live a fabulously God-blessed life. Somehow I feel Gus is in tune with that too.

Wow Gus, I'm impressed. With ALL your accomplishments how do you find the time to be on this board daily, all day and most of the night?
Your comic-book world is your problem, Maw, not mine. It takes maybe 10 minutes to read any new posts, and respond to what I want to respond to. So if I do that maybe 6 or 7 times a day, from early to late, it adds up to a little more than an hour. You and roby see that as "all day and most of the night". Since I make a majority of my living on the net, and don't "go to work", then yes, I am home, and on-line a lot. I also participate in several other forums, and run a Q and A on a gun board. In spite of all that, I still write, play music, travel, read, make business trips most every weekend, deal with local and walk-in customers at my home, and dine out a good bit with friends, and business contacts. Accomplishments are just that, Maw. I have had one hell of a life. It's not my problem if that bothers you for some reason.
You are very wrong about how well traveled and experienced Robie is. He is somone I consult frequently for travel advice on locations all over this country and abroad because he has been there and done that.
As I have said, I can only go by how, and what he writes. I thank God for not having to know him any better, from what I see from what he has written here to date. Maybe if he would deign to bother, instead of being a profane, shallow little guttersnipe, my opinion and others might be different.
Now, I've never delivered a puppy or claimed prowess with dangerous weapons, but I've owned homes in two states and a foreign country simultaneously and I'm also capable of paying for my medical care without having to beg for handouts or bragging that as you did "I will not be able to pay for it this lifetime"
No brag, just fact. I didn't order up a bypass operation for fun. You clearly have more money than I do. I'm properly impressed. I "begged" for nothing, I merely arranged a payout program that *satisfied* the hospital, you know, the ones that I owe. All of the doctors, anesthesiologists, and other ancilliary charges have long been paid in full. Maybe you would be *more* impressed if I had just told them all to piss off?
I think you are jealous of Robie and his friendships and his lifestyle and his financial security.
I really don't care what you think. I didn't pick a fight with roby, he just thinks it's cool to insult ol' gus, and cool is what drives his life. I would be utterly delighted to ignore him, if he only had the brains and character to return the favor.
But I can guarantee you I am one of the happiest people on earth. I have real friends, great neighbors (a bit of a redundancy there).

I don't know a soul who has never made a mistake, and has therefore made it into the final laps with no regrets. But I have damned few, and there is little I would change if I could go back. I wouldn't recommend my life to a soul, on the contrary, I have advised more than a few star-struck youngsters against it. I simply took a different road, and set out to cram as much into every waking moment as I could, following rainbows and butterflies, to see where they lived. In the process, I didn't make a *lot* of "responsible" decisions, and I took the not-so-recommended fork in the road probably far more times than I should have. The results at the finish line, so to speak, may not be all that pretty on a sheet of paper, but when I sit on the porch and "wool-gather", the smile that I can't help having is well deserved. It embarrasses me, the number of people who have urged me to "write the book". I'm not self-centered enough to think it's all *that* impressive, contrary to moonbat opinion.
In retirement, more or less, I have vowed to "do no harm", and finish my days as a gentleman, and a gentle man. There are some precious people waiting for me, one in particular, and I want badly to make sure I qualify for the priviledge.
I didn't pick a fight with roby, he just thinks it's cool to insult ol' gus,
You started it, honey, a long time ago, when you first informed me that you totally knew me and who I was and, in your eyes, my life was shit.
and cool is what drives his life.
Just more proof that gussie mae knows nothing about me. I don't know where he gets this shit. Dementia, maybe? PS: It is great to be considered "cool", but it does not in any way drive my life.
I have vowed to "do no harm", and finish my days as a gentleman, and a gentle man.
Yeah, right. As long as you have the final word in every thread.
But I have damned few, and there is little I would change if I could go back.
Likewise, as much as it pisses you off, that's the truth.
I thank God for not having to know him any better, from what I see from what he has written here to date.
Your loss, sweetie, not mine.
I have had one hell of a life. It's not my problem if that bothers you for some reason.
It doesn't bother any of us. But the thought of us having a "hell of a life" pisses you off no end.
So if I do that maybe 6 or 7 times a day, from early to late, it adds up to a little more than an hour.
Sure it does.
Maybe if he would deign to bother, instead of being a profane, shallow little guttersnipe, my opinion and others might be different.
Well, gus fired the first pompous, nasty shot a long time ago.
There are some precious people waiting for me, one in particular, and I want badly to make sure I qualify for the priviledge.
And when you dance, you need to pay the piper, and, boy, did I dance! I know I owe the piper big time and it doesn't bother me a bit.

Then why do you follow certain people around on this board (me, for one) and try so DESPARATELY to insult them, gussie? You are neither "gentle" nor "gentlemanly".
