Hey loki, you guys are the ones making the argument that you are too scared to go to the inauguration because of us big bad liberals. I would think that right there would disparage any conservative who had been in the military and I'm not even the one making the argument...


Whatever gave you the idea I was afraid to go anywhere, you little dipstick?

Both Pennylynn and Blade Runner are giving that as the reason conservatives are staying away from the inauguration. I simply assumed that fear of liberals ran through all conservatives veins...

You failed to read my complete post. Yes, I said that the behavior of some who are threatening violence could possibly be a cause for staying home and watching our president being sworn in on television.... and then I also said that inauguration day used to be a time to take your children to witness our process in action. You may not know, but most parents and grandparents, particularly conservatives, protect their children and would NEVER put them in harm's way. If there are going to be issues, that of violence against the supporters of our new president, we would not take our children. If there is going to be a repeat of the violence committed for weeks after the election, then we want our children safe. Same goes for our seniors.

Is this what you think of as fear of you.... no, it is concern and we do not want a civil war, regardless of how much some would enjoy this, we (who have seen war) do not want to see war break out in our own country. But, it would seem that those who will be protesting want war, they want to further divide our country. Make no mistake, if war comes it will be bloody, it will mean loss on both sides; lives, property, and a much bigger loss... our country will be divided for all time, we will become a war zone that will dwarf that of the Middle East. Is that really what you want?

This may be an odd concept for you to wrap your mind around, and I understand your point that I could have been much more clear in my response, but my intent was to provide you just one reason for what you perceive is under attendance. However, it is estimated that some 800,000 people will attend. This is far less than the overestimated attendance for obama's inauguration but keep in mind, his inauguration was historic... first mulatto to become president. I can not find numbers, but I do not think that our new president will set a record in either direction. So, it is good in a very interesting way.... seems that America is settling down and back to "normal" reactions. One could hope that the demonstrators (paid and those who feel compelled) will not cause too many problems.

The only time to fear a Liberal is when your back is turned. It's not a good idea to bend over in front of them either.

Did I hit a nerve Blade. Are you ex military conservatives so afraid of us liberals that you would allow us to keep you out of Washington for what is probably the biggest triumph conservatives have ever had? I mean, my god, you have a real live businessman in office. How long have you guys been trying to do that. And who cares if he's a pig--he still has promised to give you guys everything you want--a bigger military. Tax cuts for the wealthy. And above all he going to start deport Mexicans and keep Muslims out. Plus he's already shown he's going to bully business to his will. What else could you guys possible want--just not enough to get him sworn in???

No, Pete, we "ex military conservatives" are not afraid of you wusses, we just don't want to spill a lot of liberal blood at this particular event. Keep things as peaceable as possible, know what I mean?

You gotta do something about that conceit of yours. You pretend to know more about what others think and feel than they do.

Scalpers are losing money on Trump Inauguration Tickets and learn a hard lesson in free market capitalism--people down't want to back a loser even if you are giving tickets away...

What I have to wonder is why, a person so popular, on the road isn't popular enough that same people will come to his inauguration. It would be funny if not for being so sad...


I read the story...
It's about ONE guy not scalpers BUT one guy.
BTW...How much are the tickets?
Hey Peter, senators & congressmen are giving them away.

They are FREE... READ it and GROW up.

So you are going to keep things peaceable by staying away? And talk to Pennylynn not me. She's the one who said you guys were staying away because of the violence all those liberal students were going to cause. I just wrote down what she was implying. Myself, I just figured people were staying away because Trump has only has a 40% approval rating and the only ones wanting to see him are a bunch of RW nuts who spent so much buying guns to protect themselves from Obama that they don't have the cash to go see their savior become king...

What you need to do Blade is separate out what I think it sounds like you guys are saying from what I believe myself. I would never think you big strong conservatives were afraid of a bunch of puny little liberals but that is what Pennylynn implied. I thought it so funny I just took the ball and ran with it. I think the real reason your numbers are going to be so low is we have an unpopular president elect combined with economics and poor planning, nothing else and nothing more...

Now do you think I understand you conservatives or I still off the mark...

Well, I should have known it was because you were a protective bunch. But then again they are going to be 30,000 police and security who are best trained this nation has to offer. To top it off you have an entire group of biker thugs who plan to give Trump a "Wall of Meat" so while there may be some angry voices I seriously doubt there will be much more--though your protective nature is duly noted.

And who said anything about war coming? Why on earth would you even go there? I was simply poking fun at you because you made such a nonsensical statement. Trump has a 40% approval rating (the lowest ever polled) meaning the only ones who would want to go see him are his far right worshipers. Most on the far right are fixed income retirees or poor as dirt rednecks who've spent so much buying guns they have nothing left for such extravagance as going to Washington. It's purely economic combined with an unpopular president elect. Throw in your 'protective nature' and I'm surprised anyone will be there at all...

Does it matter to you whether I will be in attendance? If so, why? Have I become so special to you...... ahhhhh that is so touching. I should let you know, straight up before you propose.... I do not have a sense of humor! None.... Zero! Therefore, if you are attempting to "poke fun" at or with me, you will need to make it very clear from the start.

I do not care about approval ratings, they are unreliable. I do not care about poll results, and neither should you after this last election.... remember, killary was supposed to take 49 of 50 states ensuring she would be our next president. They are as reliable as the people polled.... and apparently, the pollsters are asking the wrong people or failing to poll people who represent the cross section of America.

As for security... do you not remember President Regan was shot while surrounded by 66 agents? Never underestimate hate... and never underestimate revenge.

I am a conservative but I am far from being poor or uneducated. You can call me a redneck if you wish, I will not be offended. I truly wish your opinion of me mattered as much to me as my weekend plans apparently mean to you, but sadly I do not know you so I do not dislike or like you. And further, I have no desire to get to know you.

Now that we have all the personal stuff out of the way, can we go back to pitying the scalper who wanted to rake in millions on selling tickets to the inauguration?

I remember back during the campaign that Trump drew standing room only crowds with many people standing outside and Hillary had to bus in farm animals to make a crowd. So take your puny little punk ass remarks to your own lying side of the aisle because we know BS when we smell it a mile away. You lost and every thing you posts confirms you're losing every minute of every day still. I love it! I hope it drives you off the cliff.

Pennylynn why is it you always think I am talking about you? You always struck me as a retiree. Single and either a widowed or never married--I don't see you as someone who would divorce And if you think yourself a redneck then so be it--though you strike me as a racist being a redneck is a whole different animal. Whether you go to Washington or not was never my point only that most of those who would desire to see Trump coronated are either on a fixed income or haven't two nickles to rub together. And you, Blade, and Loki are all well educated but there isn't a spits worth of difference between you and a cracker with a 9th grade education. You are all three right wing conservatives and all three have either a moderate or strong belief in god. That means your beliefs are rooted in irrationalism and you use anecdotal evidence and logical fallacies for proof of the world around you--Blade is the worst of you three, followed by you, and finally Loki. He is less than you two but only because his religious beliefs more liberal than yours or Blades--or so he says. His bent is towards the red-neck side only with enough cash to do what he wants in his retirement--education will generally provide that for you. That also explains your (conservatives) protective nature as fear (emotions) are a classical part of irrationalism: that is a a system emphasizing intuition, instinct, feeling; faith rather than reason or holding that the universe is governed by irrational forces (gawd).

Conservatism isn't that hard to understand nor are you. You away's think yourself the smartest person in the room (and generally you are) and it irks you to no end to be challenged, especially by a liberal who you think you are far superior to. And while you may well be the smartest you always let your emotions get in your way--as you are doing here--which negates anything your brain was trying to do to put you ahead. This comes from irrationalism and reliance on emotions instead of reason. You are the typical daddies girl only with a massive chip on your shoulder. Because of this something tells me it was you two against the world and why you get so upset if someone doesn't use his given name for you (the lack of perceived respect truly infuriates you) You ware you name he gave you as if it is a badge of honor and you still adore him and have never been able to resign yourself to his loss. I think that's sad and part of the reason why you feel you need to always be on guard. Now I am not saying any of this to anger you only to demonstrate that ideology combined with theology paints a fairly accurate picture of who we are--myself included...

As for the polls, everyone hit within the margin of error so there was nothing wrong with their methodology. They predicted the winner within the margin of error and that's all they were ever designed to do. I just think few, if any, (excluding you loyalists of course) thought this nation would ever elect someone like Trump. But it is what it is so now I can either have some fun with it or be depressed. I choose to have fun so with every opportunity that presents itself I am going to poke fun at Trump and his faithful minions. I have no desire for war and if you can't handle it you are welcome to put me on ignore....

Padre, your the one who's upset not me. I'm having a good time with this--and if He hit's 800 thousand, what's being predicted, I will be impressed. Of course Saturdays event is expected to bring in 900 to 1 Million people. If Trump weren't such an ass than they would be there on Friday instead of the day after and he would have an average celebration. But it doesn't seem you guys want to celebrate but you are more ready to fight then ever before. What gives Padre? You guys won or didn't you realize that? We're just going to give you what you gave Obama for 8 years only instead of having to lie Trump is going to feed us our lines in his morning tweets. That means that everyday we are going to have some new bit of insanity to hit you with. And don't blame us because it's going to be the Clown in chief that you just had to elect who is providing us with all the ammunition that we will ever need.

And you really need to lighten up Padre. Every time I run across you, you seem more tense than before. Are you feeling okay? After the coronation why don't you take a rest and take a load off your feet. We're the opposition we are suppose to be uptight. You won the election though so you might as well start acting like it, correct...

Well Peter,

You can certainly think of me anyway you please, and I am no inclined to share my personal life with you.

As for putting me into your magical box along with Loki and Blade.... well, you honor me to align me with those two fine people.

Everyone should challenge their own positions and should someone come along with a well thought out position, we are obligated to hear them out, check their sources, and consider the merit of their position. I have often changed my position issues due to intelligent discussions. How about you?

Again, your long assessment of myself has nothing to do with the thread.... that of the lonely scalper who is losing money on his venture. Have you nothing else to say about him? Or do you recognize that his bad business venture is his problem and not mine.

It will be funny when this has half of Obama's attendance........
By the Numbers: Presidential inaugurations
More than 1.8 million -- Estimated number of people that attended President Barack Obama's first inauguration on January 20, 2009.

Why do you always insist on confirming that your grasp of the obvious is seriously lacking? I'm not tense at all, I'm joyous and it pleases me more than you can imagine or know that every time Trump passes gas you guys go berserk. Trump will be president and although you Marxists have done everything you can to discredit and diminish him nothing you can do, no amount of protest, no hand wringing, no charges of racism and all the other "ism's" you accuse him of, mean a bloody thing. And for the next eight years you birds will suffer as we tear down your phony utopian Marxist meat house. God is in His heavens and all is well.
