On Arabs
---They never did a damn thing with the tiny piece of geography called "Palestine" when they lived there. Rather than leave, and go somewhere and build a new life for themselves, they stubbornly squat in the sand like camels.The UN needs to take up a collection from developed nations, and relocate these mentally retarded zoo animals to a fucking nature preserve. They are a waste of space and oxygen.
Obama Insults and Lies
--When he(Obama) went to school there. His entertainment consisted of kneeling East, and praying five times per day.
---My over/under for both predictions is five years, regardless of what Barack Obama, and his first cousin, Abdul-Karim Khalaf, are claiming.
---The Obama-Biden ticket is for “effete, elitist, haughty, arrogant, intellectuals”.Are you starting to feel that dick up your ass yet?
---Does your affinity to Obama make you want to smoke crack like he did?
---Wow! Obama really is a Muslim!!!! KenTX on 09/08/2008
Political Predictions Best Forgotten
---Unless the Democratic Party can change its image on national security, its only realistic hope of winning the White House is the hope that the war on terrorism is a passing phenomenon that will be over in a few years. KenTX on 08/03/2006
---The reason is because South Carolina is representative of the South, and the South votes as a solid block. And we know where the strength of the Republican party resides. The South will choose the nominee, and the most likely candidate is Fred Thompson.
---I don't rely much on polls for accurate predictions regarding election outcomes.10/22/2006
---The Senate is different. It looks like the GOP might just hold on.Republicans Favored to Keep Control of US Senate, Poll.The Republicans may have trouble keeping a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, but the latest Wall Street Journal/Zogby Interactive polls show Republicans on track to keep control of the U.S. Senate. 10/24/2006
---The strength of the Bush Economy is never even discussed by the Democrat Party. Over the next 100 days of political season, you will not a hear a peep from Democrats on the economy, because the subject is completely off the table as a campaign issue. KenTX on 07/28/2006 ( In 2006 Americans said the economy was the most important issue behind Iraq))
---The poll numbers are turning.He ( Ford) needs to stay away from UT football games! It only serves to highlight and magnify how poorly he relates to the people of Tennessee.r>This stupid murthafukker is a northeastern elitist! 10/25/2006r>
---I hope you are correct. I want Obama to keep Biden on the ticket. I think this is our best chance for victory.KenTX on 09/09/2008
---Bill Clinton will forever be known as a rapist and a sexual predator because he raised my taxes.
---I just don't see the DEMwits picking up the neccesary six seats to take the Senate. They might do as well as four, but I can't see six pick ups. If Harold Ford Jr wins in TN, it will be a sure sign of the apocalypse.
---After he is completely exonerated of all crimes and accusations, Tom Delay will run for Senate when Kay Bailey Hutchinson retires.
---"Kerry recommended Gore's movie as "wonderful". (He brought the movie up.)" That's because he wants a job in Gore's administration.
---Acroso, please keep us updated on OH, MO, RI, PA, TN, MT, MN, NJ, CT. If Democrats lose a single one of these races, we are looking at another GOP majority in the Senate.
---"How did Jim Webb sell out again?"Lifelong Republican and Reagan Administration Secretary of Navy, suddenly recognizes an opportunity and goes for it.Word is that he's a horrible campaigner with raw ambition.I think George will get him into a couple of debates, and tear him a new one.
---Oil producing countries like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, and Qatar seem to support the Bush Administration's strategy in the Middle East. Every fall of every election year, they support Bush by increasing production rates, and forcing a glut of oil onto the global market.When Americans see low gas prices, it makes them happy. It effects how they vote. It drives up presidential approval ratings.Oil sheiks wield a lot of power in American politics. From what I can tell, they appear very pro-GOP.-
---I’m drilling right now, on my own land. My monthly royalty checks are schhwwweeeet! I’ll send you a copy of a royalty check, if you promise to eat in front of a cam, and then post it on YouTube.
---I predict this absurd editorial comment signals the end of PMSNBC. Olberman made this rant because he knows there is nothing left to lose. It's over.This pathetic, ratings-bereft network spends significant broadcast time attacking FoxNews as "politically biased".If FoxNews is politically biased, what the hell in PMSNBC? KenTX on 09/27/2006
---Back in February, the economy was perceived as sound, and the quarterly GDP and unemployment figures looked good. I made the prediction that if the economy still looked good in November, McCain would win. In fact, I've been making this prediction for more than a year. ( after denying there was a recession during the same period) KenTX on 10/03/2008
There are numerous signs we might avoid a significant economic downturn. (I know you're thinking gas prices, but just wait until you see what Exxon and Chevron do to gas prices this fall. You think they want eight years of windfall profit taxes?) KenTX on 05/01/2008
---I don't rely much on polls for accurate predictions regarding election outcomes.10/22/2006
I have avoided making predicitions regarding the outcome of the election, because the race is too close to call. One day it looks like Obama has the edge because of the economy, the next day the race is tied.KenTX on 09/25/2008
But the economic system is collapsing. The incumbent party will lose. It's that simple. It's over. You got lucky this time. KenTX on 09/19/2008
---You blue staters have no idea there are more than 100 million rednecks in America. They vastly prefer bubbas like Clinton over elitist snobs like Barack Obama. That's why you're behind in the polls. KenTX on 09/16/2008
---I don't rely much on polls for accurate predictions regarding election outcomes.10/22/2006
You choose to ignore the national polls because you don't like the results. As a result, you're almost always analyzing old data from the state polls. Any poll older than five days is old news in a back and forth campaign.I like following the national polls because there are daily updates from Gallup and Rasmussen. I have said over and over again that this is a tie race, and Obama holds the advantage because of the eight year GOP run. McCain is the underdog. It's that simple.KenTX on 09/14/2008
---Try to get your tiny little brain around this Mr Fred: In a year when George Bush's approval rating is 25%; when the U.S. economy is in big trouble; when we've been tied down in a costly war for seven years; when the right track - wrong track polls are at an all time low, Barack Obama is still trailing John McCain in the national polls with 51 days until the election.KenTX on 09/14/2008
---The bounce comes from women shifting from Obama to Palin. This entire election will be decided by white women living in the suburbs and exurbs. For the next 50 days, that's the only demographic that counts.Remember, I'm the guy who told you the VP would be Sarah, and she would be the game changer. Don't doubt me. by KenTX on 09/11/2008
Actually Jack Kelly made the call here June 04, 2008 and Thomas Cheplick in the American Spectator here on Feb/26/2008 McCain Search team met with here and was the prediction of several conservative bloggers.
If Obama stiff arms Hillary, then McCain will select a woman for VP. (I can't imagine Obama making such a foolish move.) KenTX on 06/03/2008
---We will have socialized medicine, and everyone will be forced to wait in line for rationed health care. When a middle-class, middle-aged, life-long taxpayer has a much harder time getting a kidney transplant than an 18 year old illegal alien, as a result of political correctness gone wild, the natives will not be happy. KenTX on 10/04/2008
---We will have an all-out cover-up of the actions of Janet Reno, Barney Fagg, Chris Dodd and Frank Raines. On 31 Jan 1995, the U.S. government started forcing banks to loan money to people with poor credit under strongarm pressure from DOJ, threat of prosecution, and penalty of law. Foreign and domestic investors will never again purchase financial instruments that are pig-in-a-poke bundles of politically correct time bomb loans. KenTX on 10/04/2008
---We will have an Obama Administration New Deal Social Initiative to funnel money to financially disadvantaged individuals. The goal will be to offset the 1996 Welfare Reform Act, and the disappearance of the 1995 Clinton Community Reinvestment Easy Loans For All Poor People Act. KenTX on 10/04/2008
--We will have a toothless, isolationist foreign policy. Anything involving Billions For Africa will be fast tracked. Russia will run wild. Iran will become a nuclear superpower. American troops will be relaxing stateside. KenTX on 10/04/2008
--We will have a retroactive tax increase in 2009. A lot of people earning less than $250,000 per year are going to be mighty surprised. KenTX on 10/04/2008
We will have a very happy subset of America, representing 12% of the population. There will be a proud and vociferous reaction, kind of like the aftermath of a Detroit Pistons Championship victory. The other 88% of Americans will be dismayed and troubled.KenTX on 10/04/2008
---We will have a long overdue coalescence of the rich and powerful in response to overt attack from the Democrat Party. KenTX on 10/04/2008
--This subject will get its own thread. There are 100 clips of Bill Clinton talking about how much he loves and respects and admires McCain and Sarah and Todd. There are clips of people like Chris Rock saying Bill refuses to even mention Barack's name. If Obama wins, its over for the Clintons. (
Hillary Clinton is currently serving Secretary of State)
On"sockpuppets" , "stalking" and threats
---Now if you can just talk Robrob, bfaul, and Tiny Dancer into allowing me to continue excercising (sic) unabridged political speech in a responsible manner, then I can dispense with the sock puppets.
---I was going to do the sock puppet thing just to confuse the miscreates, and create my own virtual posse, so I could retaliate. Word to the wise: An entire army of KenTX sock puppets would be as much fun as a barrel full of rabid monkeys.
---I never had to use them before until people started maliciously deleting every comment.
[editor's note, by MRFred] Prior to the rating system KenTX used several sock puppets , LBJDem and many others
Any "integrity" ended when all of my comments started disappearing. That's when I openly started using sock puppets, in an effort to thwart the rating system. I couldn't possibly give a fukk about your idea of integrity.
---Not really. I'm just joking. It always makes me happy when you cry after another KenTX victory.
If neccesary, I can produce a million sock puppets, just like Tiny does. As you can see from the board, I'm always logged in on dozens of computers around the country, 24/7 I prefer not to play games with sock puppets, but the new format has made it neccesary.
---"It is OK for you not to post comments on every post, feel free to avoid mine." Sorry, that's not the way it works. Henceforth, everytime you post an ignorant statement, I will be there to come down on you like a ton of bricks.
---Star has 2 allies, compared with 100 participants who absolutely hate his guts. There are a few people who quietly tolerate him, because they're afraid to cross him, since he's a raving lunatic with a short fuse. And of course, there are the several sock puppets he employs.Someday, in the not too distant future, his two allies will be gone.
---Nobody in this virtual world ever interacts in person.
---Acroso is in central PA. Jarret is in South Bend, IN. If the GOP somehow maintains both houses of congress after Nov, and you guys get together, I will be there to buy the drinks.
---We can get together at the Broken Spoke, have a beer, and talk over politics. Then you can report back to the forum on who would be capable of kicking who's ass.After you see my nose that's been broken on more than one occasion, and the scars on my face from the cuts, I think you'll recognize that I'm too ugly to be afraid of anything.r>
---"True Southerners are raised with better manners."Hey , Ashley Wilkes, I'll be in Atlanta on October 19. You might have an opportunity to defend the honor of Democrat womanhood?The field of battle is a club in Buckhead called Johnny's Hideaway, and my weapon of choice is a pint of German wheat beer.
---In a recent meeting with TYT forum regulars, I thought about bringing diplomas, Phi Beta Kappa plaque, honors, etc as a joke. But then I realized you would simply claim that I printed the documents and that the ink was probably still wet.
---Then the mystery will be over, and we wil learn that the true identity of the puppet master is Mentally Retarded Fred.
--There are a couple of guys who are playing sock puppet games within the forum. The problem is they are allowed to post inflammatory, personal attacks, with zero accountability. For instance, I could use the LBJdem nic to post positive, friendly, interesting commentary. At the same time, I could use a phony sock puppet nic to post nasty, personal attacks.
On Himself, His Favorite Subject: Creating the "story", name dropping and other exaggerations
The "story" is hauled out when he is trying to impress a "convert" new blogger or prove a point.
He uses the narrative to "prove" his arguments and present himself as an expert. The idea is that Repubicans are "winners" every one else is stupid ie: " you people are fucking stupid. I'm talking about low down, mentally retarded stupid. That's why you're sitting around trying to figure out how to increase other people's taxes, so you can redistribute income to mentally retarded people, thereby propagating and increasing the number of Democrat voters."

--I am richer today than I've ever been in my life, and it doesn't have a goddam thing to do with the Democrat Party!
A.The Rancher story:
---I ran a quick check to see if I ever claimed (even jokingly) to be the proprieter of a "cattle ranch". Of course, the only links I could find were from Fred.
--We run a lot of cattle on our land, which has been in the family since 1840. My wife's nephew works the cattle, and the rest of us help with roundup, tagging, shots, hay, etc.I keep the pastures clear and prepped for cutting hay.
---Do I own cattle? Yes.
---You live in Austin, correct? I need to go over to my place outside of Bastrop and check on some cattle. If I can get tickets to the UT-OSU game, I might stay in Austin over the weekend.
---Land owner in Texas. Cattle rancher.
---I'm working at the ranch this weekend, clearing Brush like W.
---Wolves need killing from time to time. They are predators, and sometimes the population needs to be thinned. I can tell that you're not a rancher.
---Its lunchtime, and I'm relaxing on the porch, overlooking the lake. Kicking back with my bb, I see your invitation to keep this topic going. But in reviewing the exchange, I'd say you are squarely defeated. I think that explains your spate of angry posts. As I lean back in my rocker, I laugh with satisfaction. I am content.
---As a result of the global warming trend, I am selling one of my houses in Texas, and purchasing a house in the Tennessee mountains. I will have a winter home in South Texas (Nov-May), and a summer home in East Tenn (June-Oct).
B. The "Oil Man"
---Liberals like ProfRich and desertpair and ihavenofuckingclue are complete imbeciles on the subject of energy. What I mean by that is that these three individuals are totally mentally retarded when it comes to issues such as producing oil or converting energy from one form to another. And yet they continue talking about energy, as if they have something worthwhile to say on the subject.
---Who pioneered offshore drilling technology? George Herbert Walker Bush. Who ran the largest oil service business in the world? Dick Cheney. Who is the only person in this forum with any experience in the oil business? KenTX ( and juebawl) Liberals are making ridiculous statements about it taking 20-30 years to bring in oil from a goddam production tract. Which one of you stupid assed sons of bitches has ever drilled a well?What the fuck do you people know about oil? NOTHING! I drilled three wells on my land, and I was receiving royalty checks in less than a year. The AMERICAN OIL, produced on my land, was shipped to Texas refineries.TheAMERICAN OIL, produced on my land, created many good paying jobs for roughnecks, routstabouts, drillers, truckers, refinery workers, and the like. The AMERICAN OIL produced on my land created significant tax revenue for the state of Texas and the U.S. Treasury. The AMERICAN OIL, produced on my land, helped reduce the dependency of this country on oil imported from the Middle East.
---Do I have wells producing on my land? Yes. Have I earned a good living? With the background checking you've already run on me, I think you know the answer to that question. My house in Houston is only 1.2 miles from my Dad's office, and it's located in the only community in Texas with zero property tax. That's why I own it, even though I'm rarely ther
[editor's note, by MRFred]The "empire "now includes natural gas, Natural Gas has been a big conservative push as of late. You
---You have no way of guessing what my income is because you don’t know how much oil my land is producing, and you don’t how much natural gas my wells are producing. You don’t know how many cattle are on my land.
--Producer of oil and gas.Designed and implemented control systems for refineries and pipeline turbine units.Design and build components for gas turbine units.Design and build components for wellhead injector units.
[editor's note, by MRFred]The "empire "now alternative energy, as we will see later, he though was a" silly waste of time".
---Design and build components for solar panel arrays.Design and build components for wind energy turbines.
C.The GOP Insider
---I live in TX-22, and I know people close to Tommy ( Delay)Boy (including Daniel’s Granddad). Don’t get too excited yet, because this case is far from over.
----Not if you vote Libertarian. My congressman, Ron Paul,( TX 14) is labeled republican, but he ran for President a couple of times on the Libertarian ticket.
---I was a significant contributor to Swift Boat Veterans For Truth. When they first came on the scene, I quit contributing to the GOP, and started sending money to SBVFT, because I colud (sic)see they were moving Kerry's numbers.
D: The "minority"
---You are the white person in this conversation.I am a Latino.
---My Cherokee ancestors were forced to walk the Trail of Tears and live in bondage on reservations in Oklahoma. They intermarried with white cowboys and ranchers. If they remained in TN, they would have married hillbillies, so I figure I made out on the deal. ( Nearly every redneck claims "Cherokee" heritage.)
E: The Athlete and Rugged Individual
---I'm 49, and have had two knee surgeries from football days. I don't have to go to war, but since I think we are looking at the end of the freakin' world, I might as well!
---I can sink a 60 foot putt. I've done it before.
---We can meet, you can see what I look like, and then we can put an end to this liberal, pussy, horseshit once and for all."Nope, don't live in Austin, but thanks for the invite."You just pick the time and place. Then you can report back to MrFred, spike-for-brains, and all of the other newbies on what a real Texan looks like.(I'm a fairly scary, mean-looking SOB, but for a moment, I thought about sending my brother-in-law. He's 6'7", and weighs 370 pounds. You have to admit, that would have been funny as hell!)
(You can recognize ken as the 5'7'' 250lb guy in the Members Only Jacket)
---I couldn’t help but notice that Spike didn’t receive a varsity letter in football or wrestling or boxing( like me). He doesn’t look like much of a threat, unless he manages to climb the Easton square bell tower with his rifle, Charles Whitman style.
F. Ive been everywhere man...
---We have a lot in common. Our only real difference is the team we cheer for in politics. Rich doesn't realize it, but when he was in college, he used to frequently serve barbecue to me and clients from 3M at a place on the Colorado River.
---"I never saw him on Campus."The campus has 40,000 students, and I am unaware that Corker went to law school, so you would never have seen him in the library.He was on Fraternity Row, partying with me and my posse.
G:The ever expanding educational universe.
---"I hold degrees in Chemical Engineering and Chemistry. You, by contrast, are an alcoholic whore chaser.
---"I hold degrees in Chemistry and Chem E but I'm no more a Chemist or a Chemical Engineer than she is a doctor."
---"Trying to have meaningful discussion on the subject of chemical engineering with a liberal is like trying to discuss quantum mechanics with a five year old. It's a waste of time."
Education Upgrade #1
---"My first degree was a BS in Chemistry, and then I got a Masters in chemical engineering."
Education Upgrade # 2
---"It turns out that I hold advanced degrees in both disciplines, Chemical Engineering and Chemistry. But let's hear about your education and professional credentials?"
Education Upgrades plus Bootstraps
--"I showed up at the University of Tennessee with a degree from the worst high school in all of Appalachia. The only education I had was self-taught from chemistry and algebra text books. Six years later, I had graduate degrees in chemistry and chemical engineering," ---( earlier he commented on the "Trail Of Tears". this is the modern academic version...)
---The good news is that Mookie and KenTX will be assigned to Chemical Weapons, since we hold advanced degrees in Chemical Engineering and Chemistry. Maybe we can sneak a state-side gig?
Education Upgrade #3
---Which college is Polymer Engineering in? A. ChemistryB. Chemical EngineeringC. Both ( Neither actually..it's in the College of Engineering Sciences)
Education Upgrade #4
---I hold advanced degrees in Chemical Engineeringand a strong background in petroleum. Nothing burns cheaper than dinosaur juice."
Adding Honors
"...Phi Beta Kappa, highest honors.."
"...but I was Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude..."
Attacking Veterans
---There is only one way for Lennilenape to regain his credibility. He must tell us about his experiences as a "full combat Marine".We await his stories of combat glory. (Watch this weirdo disappear now.)
(Of course kenTX has never provided any proof of his claims )
