Bobby Tony ~~~ I call it "Logic Lite" old sport. Both you and Stan love to always swim in the SHALLOW END OF THE POOL---most of the time, buddy. . .

Or the shallow of your latrine so you can still breath---but the stench . . .

Thanks for the hit on Hillary, Stan. If she did wrong, then she should pay the price for lying and using government equipment for personal wrongdoing.

The first case of such was Richard Nixon with Watergate. He kept claiming innocence---until the tapes came out!!! Now will you say he was a Great Conservative he claimed to be???

The honest and better outlook, in my view --- is to deal with ALL prominent politicians since Nixon who got his free pass from Ford with a complete pardon for all. The difference this time around being ~~~ you get a pardon ONLY IF you clearly disclose all you did that was dirty in the name of the US while occupying a place of elected power.

I would love to read that book of confessions ~~~~ FROM ALL SINCE NIXON TO THE PERSON!!!!!

You magic trick of Conservatism is to so focus the audience on your left hand (symbolism intended) that they don't see the right hand picking our pockets and making the rich more rich with the Conservative Credo of late. Lincoln would weep along with the Founding Fathers who had better dreams and visions than those of this century and the end of the last---actually since Vietnam and it's riches for corporate America while soldiers got maimed and spit on . . .

I can't figure why the abject conservatism of Fox News is now outing and testing the very candidates you would think they adore to the person. . .

Have no fear Colonel --- I have readers who follow only 1 post at the time and want all to know I am having fun fishing. Not throwing chum to conservative sharks today beside the Pamlico. The Albemarle Sound is our host and the Roanoke River enters it here. Not that far from Manteo either or Chesapeake.

I may just have to go to Emerson' Pipe Shop there and get the good MacArthur blend they sell. The General lived there and still has a few books to read for instruction on "combating your enemies . . ."

Maybe you should change the name at the top, Stan. It has the appearance of your attitude to a "T". I would only suggest that you check your deep trench of political viewpoint.

Anyone who gets so deep into his trench turns it into a latrine with no ladder to go out and do his business where he does not live and breathe nor eat . . .

Before we go off in another journey to the blackberry patch ~~~ here is the PBS story on Nuclear Arms Treaties:

www.pbs.org

If I had had Google at Emory, I could have spent all my time partying with the Scottie at their BSU.

"Here we go girls---that famous Emory President who just debated Thomas J.J. Altizer on national TV over the "God Is Dead" allegations is here to explain it to you in the back room with the lights turned low. He is a young Christian genius and won't mess with your pants or bras . . ."

BT is a chicken --- BT is a chicken ---- come on, guys---you can do better and show your wisdom on the questions below . . .

Commented: Tuesday, August 11th, 2015 @ 9:39 am By: Gene Scarborough

NOW ~~~~ back to the important questions for discussion:

(1) Can we afford to keep on letting the nuclear knowledge spread out without most serious consequences?
(2) By the grace of God we beat the Germans to the Atomic problem's solution --- what if they had beaten us????

I understand he has lost his leg (or may lose it) to the accident. That is something a vet would understand like no other person . . .

Christopher Maye is the new MINIMALIST SUPREME WINNER!!! While BT went to somewhere with his i-phone / Ted McD was working on new free pics for a post ~~~ Old Chris was thinking ~~~~~ and put together the least words possible to share the most fun insights I have seen lately!

Will Rogers, Steven Colbert and David Letterman have a cohort on BCN now!!!!

Just to prove I am a dunce at compu-tech ~~~ I hit a button and my comment went to "submit" as I was fixing to tell a funny story about the mistaken view of Terrorists.

It seems one of the bad guys (from Murfreesboro and Chowan College) was more than virtuous and more than horny before the 9/11 attack. He had mentally prepared himself according to the Terrorist Manual (not the Quran) for the pending deed of destruction of Infidels.

After the big fireball crash that destroyed so many lives on 4 commercial aircraft, he woke up in the Afterlife surrounded by Nuns. They all had angry looks and big paddles pummeling him on his rear---making it bleed already. He was in abject pain.

He yelled out to the Mother Superior, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME??? I AM SUPPOSED TO BE AMONG VIRGINS GETTING MY ROCKS OFF IN ETERNAL PLEASURE . . ."

The Mother Superior answered: "My son, WE are your Virgins and you were a bad boy this morning!!! God sent you here for your reward!!!"

MEANWHILE ~~~ thousands of saints (of all faiths) floated past on their way to heaven. First, were the innocent people in the buildings and planes. Next, were all the NYPD Firemen smiling and knowing they gave their lives to save people.

Left behind were more millions to clean up / sharpen their skills and weapons to go after Osama ben Laden, the Mastermind. It only took a black President who was accused of being a Muslim by many Conservatives to take care of God's business in about 6 years!!!

AIN'T KARMA SWEET!!!!

Stan --- "automatic" is an excuse when I see for myself how the conservative stuff gets on so much longer than any others . . . I may be dumb, but I ain't supic!!!

As to the comparison between us today and Chamberlain trying to appease Hitler ~~~ I hate to say it but since Vietnam we have made certain people rich over war / invaded and made good committed soldiers the targets of hate rather than our leaders (both conservative and liberal / Republican or Democrat) ~~~ then could care less about their PTSD and permanent body parts missing.

Right now --- we appear to be more akin to Germany than the America I have known in the early 50's after a righteous and necessary war. We were the prime mover in establishing the United Nations, but want them to always do our bidding. No single nation is always right in world affairs, my friend.

War made the Texas buddies of LBJ rich / Star Wars and aircraft producers of Reagan rich / without a doubt Dick Cheney personally more than rich . . .They profited / we paid / the soldiers got the booby prize of valor wasted on wars we never can win in 3rd World countries only wanting their chance.

Diplomacy is a far better route --- in my view --- against a bunch of camel riders in the desert of the Middle East. We leave the munitions or give them foolishly to be used against us!!! It is much like we sold steel cheap to Japan and saw it fall from the skies over Pearl Harbor. "Stupid" and "Wealth" seem to go together far too often in our quest for World Power. . .

Thanks for getting back of a track having to do with the Nuclear Treaty, buddy!

Suck up to the Publisher BT / get your many trite/good (some are some aren't) things on / ignore the elephant in the room ~~~ the squeaky wheel get oiled / the ignored good and quality posts should stay up! See if the Arms Treaty does not lead the national publications and media coverage for weeks . . .

In my view --- that is for the readers to decide and not you and Stan, bro! If BCN is fair and balanced along with open it will grow. If it becomes the same ultra-conservative publication it was when I joined in along with a couple of others, there is hope.

Stan is the Publisher which means --- he absolutely controls what gets on and when -- even though he has been more than fair to post my contrarian views~~~THAT I DO APPRECIATE

14 comments thus far ~~~ ONLY 1 (which is most worthy by BT) concerning the legal status of Treaties. It is not 6-6-6, But it gives the Constitutional basis I did not have time to properly research with 2-2-2. THANX!

The article in Wikipedia is helpful ~~~ but shows the last SCOTUS ruling relative to it with shades of gray in the decision and no willingness to make a decision. We may get another case from this action and then see what the Court says . . .

"The President may enter the United States into treaties, but they are not effective until ratified by a two-thirds vote in the Senate.[9] In Article II however, the Constitution is not very explicit about the termination of treaties. The first abrogation of a treaty occurred in 1798, when Congress passed a law terminating a 1778 Treaty of Alliance with France.[10] In the nineteenth century, several Presidents terminated treaties after Congress passed resolutions requesting the same.[11] In 1854, however, President Franklin Pierce terminated a treaty with Denmark with the consent of the Senate alone. A Senate committee ruled that it was correct procedure for the President to terminate treaties after being authorized by the Senate alone, and not the entire Congress. President Pierce's successors, however, returned to the former procedure of obtaining authorization from both Houses. Some Presidents have claimed to themselves the exclusive power of terminating treaties. Abraham Lincoln, for instance, terminated a treaty without prior Congressional authorization, but Congress retroactively approved his decision at a later point. The first unambiguous case of a President terminating a treaty without authorization, granted prior to or after the termination, occurred when Jimmy Carter terminated a treaty with the Republic of China.[12] For the first time, judicial determination was sought, but the effort proved futile: the Supreme Court could not find a majority agreeing on any particular principle, and therefore instructed the trial court to dismiss the case."

It would appear historically Congress felt the President was worthy of leading in negotiations and there is no case where a Treaty became as important as Nuclear Arms which affect our country and the world.

Bigger bombs / harder decisions / let's just not repeat 1945 ever again over humans on this planet. This is most serious and will likely happen if we keep messing with nations which have nothing to lose. The Russian Treaty over Cuba and Arms race was resolved. Carter got progress with Beagan/Sadat Peace accord that did not get ratification in their countries --- rather both me killed by hate of their citizens who would rather fight than make peace . . .

QUESTIONS:

(1) Can we afford to keep on letting the nuclear knowledge out without most serious consequences?
(2) By the grace of God we beat the Germans to the Atomic problem's solution --- what if they had beaten us????

I went to Preach today and there sat Stan and BT with their wives beside them. I decided to do some questions to the audience. When I looked at Stan and asked, "Who is God's Son?" Lynn stuck him with her hat pin and he yelled ~~~ "JESUS CHRIST!"

Next I looked BT's way and asked, "When you are in bad trouble what do you say?" His wife stuck him with her pin and he yelled: "GOD HEP ME!!!"

My third question was at both of these worshipful guys. It was: "What did Adam say to Eve after the birth of their sons?"

In unison, they both yelled: "IF YOU STICK THAT THING IN ME AGAIN I'M GONNA KNOCK THE CRAP OUT OF YOU!!!"

It's Sunday and Ordained Baptist ministers always tell the "truth" on Sunday!!
