I've been involved in online discussion forums since running an online BBS out of my bedroom when I was in high school in the early 80s and have been an avid internet user since before anybody even heard of it...long before the world wide web came into existence (Gohper, Bitnet, Usenet, etc.)<br /><br />I tend to shun most mainstream media outlets no matter what form they transmitted in as they are generally highly politically motivated, so I tend to use the internet to get multiple opinions from all sides before making decisions. I think the worst of all positions is any that follows the totally bogus left-right, liberal-conservative, Democrat-Republican dichotomy...with the position of "moderate" being probably the worst. Both sides have good ideas, and those ideas should be judged by their merits and not by their source...you believe that only one side has merit, therefor I comment or "troll" as you would have it.RevGreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11627218929198779685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543652813050186080.post-71212904481586051822015-01-17T12:56:37.087-08:002015-01-17T12:56:37.087-08:00Mr. Greg--in truth I have no interest whatever in ...Mr. Greg--in truth I have no interest whatever in your gun size--I DO get it that you choose this picture of yourself to make some point. I am also not moved by THAT.<br /><br />What you're doing on my blog does simply elude me. I'd make no defense whatever of the "environmental community" ala Rendell, and I have been more critical than most of the hypocrisy of Democrats and progressives. That does not mean I'd ever side with Republicans whom I regard as increasingly nationalist war mongers.<br /><br />You say you don't watch the news or have much interest in the Internet--yet, you troll here.<br /><br />Interesting.Wendy Lynne Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17591185266607991768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543652813050186080.post-4309023220696153142015-01-17T12:41:33.947-08:002015-01-17T12:41:33.947-08:00Yay!

Thanks for giving us a nice example of Markley's Law (ad hominem attacks on firearms owners using penis size) since, apparently, you had nothing intelligent to add to the conversation. FYI, I can't stand Democrats OR Republicans and don't really think there's that much of a difference between them. As for Fox News, I haven't had cable or satellite in over ten years and think that all of the mass media 24 hour news bobble heads are pretty much useless.<br /><br />BTW, that is a VERY large gun I'm shooting there in that photo...when I shoot my tiny pocket pistol does that mean I'm compensating because my penis is too large? I may disagree with Wendy on a lot of things but at least she is polite and respectful and avoids trash talking like this.RevGreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11627218929198779685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543652813050186080.post-40038173018348714292015-01-16T15:49:11.565-08:002015-01-16T15:49:11.565-08:00Funny, The Rev.'s a gun toting, democrat blami...Funny, The Rev.'s a gun toting, democrat blaming, card carrying republican... gotta have the gun in pic to make up for unfortunate anatomy..LOL Hypocrite who can't hear the truth for fox news telling him what to think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543652813050186080.post-62082785827485369162014-10-21T03:36:11.037-07:002014-10-21T03:36:11.037-07:00Dear RevGreg,
I--like the vast majority of us--di...Dear RevGreg,<br /><br />I--like the vast majority of us--did not yet know what fracking was in 2007. I was actively critical of Rendell over other issues--particularly labor related issues. But that is not the point for you, is it? (And what is YOUR proof of having opposed Rendell actively and publicly in 2007?). What IS clear is that you know very little about fracking. If you did you'd NOT suggest that tough regulations could make any substantive difference. They can't. Any green worth the name demands a BAN on fracking--not regulation.<br /><br />You are trying to stick me with hypocrisy--and I get that. But that will not work because it is not supported by the facts. If anything the hypocrisy is all yours for promoting fracking--so long as it doesn't infringe on your sacred places. <br /><br />But, of course, it will--and YOU will likely do nothing about it.<br /><br />THAT is hypocrisy.Wendy Lynne Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17591185266607991768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543652813050186080.post-41362096688273745852014-10-20T22:25:04.959-07:002014-10-20T22:25:04.959-07:00I did do my homework, I'm not sure why you fee...I did do my homework, I'm not sure why you feel that what you wrote in 2014 is valid proof of having been in active opposition to Rendell's giveaway of fracking on public land in 2007 when it might have made a difference. Mind you, I don't oppose fracking itself but I was in direct opposition to the slimy deals Rendell made while selling out public land and not putting strict environmental protections in place. It didn't help at all when sportsmen's groups could't get any of the so-called "green" groups to join us at the time to put pressure on the Democrats.RevGreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11627218929198779685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543652813050186080.post-82443936271477763692014-10-20T08:13:29.756-07:002014-10-20T08:13:29.756-07:00I'm afraid, Rev.

Oddly, when the leases were being given out and our state forests were being trashed under Rendell and established without extraction fees, the environmentalist community was all but silent as the hunting and fishing community tried to stop the encroachment. Now that there's a Republican in office it's time to paint him as the cause of all the fracking damage and bad lease agreements established by the previous administration. With the range that can be covered using horizontal drilling there has NEVER been a reason why rigs had to go on public land except to provide our government with more slush funds to piss away because you never seem to find that money accounted for anywhere, and it's no surprise that a slimy Philly Democrat like Slick Eddy Rendell made sure it went down that way.RevGreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11627218929198779685noreply@blogger.com
