I was referring to the WTA, to which the link you provided claimed an alliance. Good luck with your efforts though. The Hurricane Ridge area is a unique little recreation gem--something for everyone who likes to get out and enjoy the outdoors! A great intro area for parents and kids too. You don't know how refreshing it is to hear about your inclusive efforts that will ultimately lead to a greater appreciation of the outdoors and nature.

...and this:

It doesn't matter what language anybody speaks, as log as they understand this:

Just off the press: McDermott fined over $1million. Guess Dems aren't above the law after all. What a fucking idiot: http://www.king5.com/news/specials/politics/stories/NW_040108POLB_mcdermott_legal_fees_taped_call_JM.1f6fe789.html

I like your post and will write. I would suggest that Friends of ONP be cautious in their associations and partnerships with WTA. WTA is no longer a pro trails/pro recreation organization, but, rather, they are leaning more and more toward the radical environmental and exclusionary element that exists within their ranks. They have opposed efforts to repair several primary access roads, including the Middle Fork Snoqualmie. I'm not sure what their "official" stand is on the Dosewallips repair, but many of their key leaders have called for its permanent closure in numerous editorials.

Are you one of the kooks who believes Bush was responsible for 9/11? Gimme a break. And unlike your homeland of Balticfuckvia, we don't lock up our ex-leaders. It's all part of that whole stability/greater good thing. I actually like a lot of what you say; especially about the commie fucks that once held you down. But some of the ideas you seem anxious to apply here in your new home are step stones that lead back toward the ideology you fled.

One thing worth pointing out here. Look at the division Iraq has caused within our country. Look at the constant debate and criticism. Is it even remotely possible that this division and bitter debate is NOT visible to the muslim world? Now where is the debate on their side concerning terrorism? It's pretty damn silent by comparison. But I guess we should keep "looking at ourselves". If American troops were not in Iraq, I strongly suspect that the usual america-is-bad voices both here and around the nation would be equally angry about Afghanistan. Also: I see a lot of moral equivalence claims re The Crusades. It's important to note that Christianity has undergone radical reforms since that time and the Catholic Church no longer holds any monopoly on "Christianity". Islam has not undergone any reformation--or even really moderated its 8th century tenets. Let's please stop digging up the 800+ year old Crusades as a valid point. Let's talk about TODAY. Islam is a bankrupt religion.

He IS against it...and has been very vocal in his stance opposing the Bush Administration in this regard. Maybe you should study McCain's positions on issues before you flap.

That IS good news! As of yesterday there was simply a message posted citing fear and intimidation as the reasons for the removal of the film from the site. I'll have to check it out later this evening and see what the "controversy" is all about.

I'm really not interested in seeing the Dutch mini-film, "Fitna", but the idea that Islamic radicals can control the flow of ideas through fear within societies that claim to be free is an outrage. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7d9_1206624103 ...Sad day is right.

Some good info on CL: http://www.traces.org/charleslindbergh.html 1: McDermott was never a national hero. 2: McDermott never tempered beliefs or his mouth for the sake of our efforts in Iraq.

Shouldn't be a problem:

Some stuff I agree with--and much that I don't. A bit too cynical and a bit too much unattributed. At least it's well-thought out--unlike Matt's relentless and mindless Bush-hate. If you're going to write such long essays, I would suggest brushing up on the MLA formatting of your text and, of course, including a works cited page. This may help with your next post:

...simply not true:

What he really wants is for daddy to make him a pneumatic potato cannon. He will be the coolest kid on the block.

What a shallow, shallow thing to say.

Ahhhhhh yes...I can still remember when the lure of titties first cast their enchanting spell upon my pre-adolescent pshyche...

Forget the rings! These titties could easily be used to suffocate the pilot.

Hey, I've come to snuff the rooster.

Cant we just all relax and discuss titties like mature adults?

Don't forget to put out your cigar!

Oceania.

Um, Glassgow dishes out more name calling than I could ever give. He's an hysterical tool, and the fact that you are willing to support his "incorrect" claims with nothing more than a weak-knee suggestion to 'Google it' based solely on your hatred of Bush says a lot. Next time you make or wish to support a claim, try giving it some teeth with a fact-based link...and a reality check.

That's not surprising.

I could make the outrageous claim that "Obama is a Muslim jihadist"...but to then tell readers to "just Google it...you'll see!" would be ridiculous. You, sir, are in a box without holes.
