Quit lying. You know full well what you've posted on this and other forums and threads. You've made it a habit of denigrating, labeling and out-right lying, about and to, those who post on this forum, especially. All one need do is click on your name and they can read, for themselves, all of the insults and negative comments YOU have made toward liberals, progressives, Obama, and anyone else you disagree with. And, now you claim, "i dont know what he running off about i didnt contact him and i dont know what he is talking about.". LIAR!!!

That you can call liberals the cause of this country's problems only shows the it's YOU that doesn't know what you're talking about. Just go back and read our history. It was the Democratics who got us out of the many messes that the Republicans got us into; going all the was back to the Grant administration. More recently, it was FDR that led us out of the Great Depression that your GOP Hoover got us into. JFK & Johnson inherited our involvement in Vietnam, thanks to Eisenhower. Clinton got us out of the mess "Reaganomics" got us in. Now, Obama has gotten us out of the Great Recession that your friend Bush left us in. That you and your ilk still want to beat the anti-liberal and anti-Obama war-drum and blame him and us for your "perceived" problems only proves how myopic your views are.

I realize you're ignorant toward how to research for yourself and can only parrot what it is you're told to say, but should you ever decide you'd like to find out the truth about our country and its issues, the Internet is a great place to get your info. I realize, too, that you'll most likely only go to web sites that would buttress your preconceived notions, but maybe you'll slip-up and accidentally open a site that offers you a non-biased view and you'll see that you've been led around by your nose ring all these years.

Vern, when will you offer-up and positive, thought-out, workable solutions to the problems you perceive are out there? All you do is bitch and moan and bitch and moan. You said I don't know what I'm talking about. Well, Vern, rest assured, I know far more than you think I know and obviously far more than you. You lack a whole lot knowing just a little bit. Your posts prove that. Know what I mean, Vern?

I agree that the nastiness on the main board gets to be too much most of the time. It is a kind of therapy for me. It makes me look at my own thoughts, ideas, opinions, and behavior.

I don't claim to have all of the answers either. But there really is no need for most of the disrespect that goes on here on both sides. I know the world is changing. It will continue to change. It has to. That is just the natural progression of things. It seems to me though, that things are being forced more and more anymore.
I don't have a problem changing, and adapting, but I don't like being forced into it. Hell, if I were the cave man everyone thinks I am I wouldn't be talking to you now. I think there are many like me who just want to live, and let live.

Vernon has a llloooooonnnnggggggg history of disrespecting anyone who dares disagree with him. Below are a sampling of 16 of Vernon's replies/comments from the first 50 pages of the over 834 pages of Vernon's postings. For someone who claims he doesn't show disrespect, anyone who can read can see how Vernon feels about Democrats, liberals and African-Americans. He believes that the government is out to take his guns away (I wonder how many of his guns have actually been confiscated), is in the business of the premeditated confiscation of private property, and thinks the states are sovereign over the Federal government. That's a LOT of complaining without one iota of fact even one offering of a viable plan toward gaining a working consensus on how to rectify the situation.

Vernon is simply another scared, old, white guy that has allowed himself to come to the conclusion that the government is out to get him and that blacks are a lesser form of human being. He thinks that the states are sovereign over the federal government. That idea was challenged and settled back in 1861-1865. Plus, he only listens to those who share his opinions. Any one who disagrees faces his wrath and his insults. Then, he acts like he doesn't understand what he said that caused the other to call him on it. "What did I say," he coyly asks? Like he doesn't know.

Vernon misses "the good 'ol days" when he felt he was a part of the ruling majority and that for a minority to advance in society was morally wrong. I hate to break it to Vern, but, "the times, they are a-changing." If you can't bend with the wind, it'll break you. From what Vernon posts, the verbiage he uses, he's been cracking for quite a while, now. Should a Democrat win the White House, I'm afraid Vern will snap. If the Dems were to capture one or both houses of Congress, too, it's frightening to think what he could do.

Again, the following are only a sampling (16) from the 1st 50 pages of the over 834 pages of Vernon's postings. After reading them, if you don't think Vernon is a foul-mouthed, ignorant, lying, racist, anti-government, conspiracy theorist, then, there's no hope for you, either.

Pretty weak response there, Vern. Why don't YOU tell the readers what was said to prompt your responses? It's obvious that you are, at least, a 'closet KKK member.' Maybe you're a member of the "Aryian Nation,' too. In any case, you've demonstrated some of the worse qualities of a human being when it comes to interacting with other human beings. You're a bigoted racist that is crying 'foul' because you think you're losing control over your little corner of the world. And, by lying about how things really are is your only means of justifying your feelings of persecution.

If you were to step back and see the world for what it really is, perhaps you would see that the various shapes and forms of 'boogie-men' you fear are simply figments of your imagination. You pretend you're the one being persecuted to cover up your fears of losing to people you think are inferior.

Remember the phrase, "... All men were created equal ... ?" Even though it was written during a time of slavery in our country, it was placed in our Constitution as an a knowledgment of slavery's wrong. You notice the phrase didn't say that only white men were created equal, or only land owners were created equal, or only rich men were created equal. It says, ALL men are created equal. That you continue to use derogatory language against African-Americans, liberals, Democrats, etc., shows that you don't believe that others are equal to you; that, for whatever reason, you're better than others. Sorry, Slick, it don't work that way.

And, as to your comment about me trying to take away your fight to free speech? Unlike you, I've not said that you should be banned from the forum. I have said that if you don't like what is said, you should leave. But, that would be a voluntary action of your part. I'm not an administrator. I can't make you do anything. But, I can point out your inflamitory comments and call you on them.

There's an old saying that says that goes, "Before you judge someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes." Maybe you should try it, sometime. It just might give you a change of perspective. Maybe you should be on the 'receiving end' of your comments and feelings toward those who differ from you.

i think i know as much about the real world as you and im not and


showing my butt in the streets.im dam sure not out there shooting cops and burning stores.

im all for being equal but im not for your kind being better that us.education is free and too many blacks refuse to use it to get a head.as far as created equal dosent mean you can make lousy life decisions and then blame whites like has been going on for at least 60 years.as far as demorats party i think it should be outlawed for being subversive and from the way you talk i think your right in there with them.you should just go out and tell them
as far as my speech is concerned you are trying to silence me by what you thought was intimidation but it didnt work.but when it comes to inflammatory remarks i only go there when they go there. i intend to keep calling them out when i think they are lying or just dont know what they are talking about even when they think they are right and you obviously dont believe in judge not,so dont be bring that bigoted crap to me .your the one thinking your being persecuted and wallowing in self pity and hate.

You said, "... im all for being equal but im not for your kind being better that us."
What do you mean by "... your kind being better ... ?" What is your criteria for differentiation? Being black verses being white? From your posts, that would seem to be the case. And, why can't my kind be better than your kind? Your kind is the kind that is saying the insulting words. Your kind seems to think it superior to my kind. If not, then why are you so afraid of any kind being better than your kind?


You said, "... then blame whites like has been going on for at least 60 years..." Have you ever tried to live your life under the bondage of the Jim Crow Laws? Have you ever had to drink your public water from a "Negros Only" water fountain? Have you ever had to go to a different restaurant because the one you're at doesn't serve blacks? Have you ever had to go to an "all black" school because your skin color was dark? Have you ever had to use the left-over school books and gym equipment from the white schools because the school board wouldn't authorize enough money for your school to get the newest and best books and equipment? Were you taught by black teachers who were paid only ¾ of the salary that their white counterparts were paid? How many black kids did you hang out with in school? Did you ever visit their homes and meet their families? Did you ever invite blacks into your home?

How many white doctors refused to treat you because of a difference in skin color? How many times did you refuse a blood transfusion from a black person just because you thought taking their blood would turn you black?

How many neighborhoods did you refuse to move into just because your neighbors would be of a different skin color? If you own any up-scale rental property, how ready are you to rent to a minority family?


You said (speaking of me), "... your the one thinking your being persecuted and wallowing in self pity and hate."
I'm not wallowing in anything, Vern. You're the one complaining about how much the government picks on you and how you're treated so unfairly. Poor, poor, pitiful you. Why don't you cry us a river?

Compared to how the African-Americans (not to mention the Native Americans whose mistreatment goes back a bit further) have been treated over the past 60 years (as you note), you don't have any reason to complain. Compared to them, your treatment has been a paradise.

How would you like to grow-up in a white-owned slum, where the landlord accepts your money but refuses to make necessary repairs to maintain even the bare necessities; like plumbing, HVAC, electrical wiring, and broken windows? How long would you put up with it before you got mad? Move somewhere else you might say. Any where else and especially better will cost more than you make at the 2-3 minimum-wage jobs you and/or your spouse are already working at.

But, that's not your worry, is it? It's just something more for you to complain about when the government steps in and tries to help those who white society looks down on. Imagine if the government only taxed the property owner for maintaining his property. Instead of taxing the slum lord for not keeping his property up, the government taxes everyone so that everyone gets to share in the burden. If you have a beef, take it up with the rich slum lord. His inactions make you pay for helping out his tenants via the government.

Your idea of being treated fairly is, at best, being "separate but equal." Unfortunately, in reality, while it's been separate, it's never been equal. That being the case, then you're not really in favor of fair treatment unless you get the lion's share and can dole out the crumbs to the rest; in equal shares, of course. You wouldn't want to appear greedy, would you?

Were you taught by black teachers who were paid only ¾ of the salary that their white counterparts were paid? How many black kids did you hang out with in school? Did you ever visit their homes and meet their families? Did you ever invite blacks into your home?

How many white doctors refused to treat you because of a difference in skin color? How many times did you refuse a blood transfusion from a black person just because you thought taking their blood would turn you black?

How many neighborhoods did you refuse to move into just because your neighbors would be of a different skin color? If you own any up-scale rental property, how ready are you to rent to a minority family?


You said (speaking of me), "... your the one thinking your being persecuted and wallowing in self pity and hate."
I'm not wallowing in anything, Vern. You're the one complaining about how much the government picks on you and how you're treated so unfairly. Poor, poor, pitiful you. Why don't you cry us a river?

Compared to how the African-Americans (not to mention the Native Americans whose mistreatment goes back a bit further) have been treated over the past 60 years (as you note), you don't have any reason to complain. Compared to them, your treatment has been a paradise.

How would you like to grow-up in a white-owned slum, where the landlord accepts your money but refuses to make necessary repairs to maintain even the bare necessities; like plumbing, HVAC, electrical wiring, and broken windows? How long would you put up with it before you got mad? Move somewhere else you might say. Any where else and especially better will cost more than you make at the 2-3 minimum-wage jobs you and/or your spouse are already working at.

But, that's not your worry, is it? It's just something more for you to complain about when the government steps in and tries to help those who white society looks down on. Imagine if the government only taxed the property owner for maintaining his property. Instead of taxing the slum lord for not keeping his property up, the government taxes everyone so that everyone gets to share in the burden. If you have a beef, take it up with the rich slum lord. His inactions make you pay for helping out his tenants via the government.

Your idea of being treated fairly is, at best, being "separate but equal." Unfortunately, in reality, while it's been separate, it's never been equal. That being the case, then you're not really in favor of fair treatment unless you get the lion's share and can dole out the crumbs to the rest; in equal shares, of course. You wouldn't want to appear greedy, would you?

You seem to have a chip on your shoulder, and a lot of bitterness alabuck. I am not of your generation, so I haven't seen what you mentioned. However, the black community rising up because of all of that past stuff is just silly. We don't live in those times anymore, and white people who weren't even born yet bear no responsibility for any of it.

If we didn't live in those times anymore, then there wouldn't be any need for the events to occur, would they? Trouble is, too many people refuse to open there eyes and see that the times really haven't changed that much for minorities. What you pass off as "silly," is everyday life for those who live in those conditions.

What I find "silly" is that Vernon, and now you, still haven't addressed the root causes of the issues; the economic, the social and the racism that still pervades in the US, in your responses to me. Just because you haven't seen what I mentioned, your ignorance of the situations, whether intentional or not, doesn't deny that what I mentioned doesn't exist. It is a very real reality for the minorities. To them, it is the white guy that is responsible for their plight. Their perception is their reality.

If you'd like to verify my comments, why don't you go and visit a predominately African-American church next Sunday. Attend a Sunday School class. Talk to the attendees what their perception(s) are about their socio-economic station in life. After the service, invite some of them to go to lunch with you and discuss their thoughts and feelings about how they're treated in terms of jobs and fair treatment.

I have no chip on my shoulder, Archie. I just don't like it when someone who has no real reason to complain, picks on a group of people and blames them for their supposed indesgressions toward him. That would be Vernon.

hey dork i go to an almost all black church.you see you just run your mouth and pass judgement without any knowledge
there you go again saying something that dosent make any sense all.i will say again when someone says something that is wrong i will call him on it.i defend your right to free speech but when it amounts to just plain old bullshit i will call you or anyone else on it.
the trouble is blacks dont want to see the truth they just want a check and pity.the more we talk im beginning to think you are just a hate filled sorry person not worthy of being in society.
oh and dont blame anybodys economic station on anyone but them selves.like i said schools are free and blacks drop out rate is at least 50% so blame the problem where it lies on the parents and cry babies like you.

I'm a racist? You go around calling someone "nig," and I'm a racist. It may come as a shock to you, but I'm a Caucasian. (That means I'm white.)

Alabuck,
I have been to an all black church, and was well received. I won't go into details, but it was a good experience.
Every friend we have who is other than white, or American agrees that lack of core family values, and government is the root cause of most of the problems we have now.
You tell me......
I'll be honest with you sir, when I say that blaming the 14 year old white kid for problems in the black community gets a bit tiresome, I'm not being dramatic at all. It gets old.
