Bush scraped his knee...

[Lake Pirate]

...please pray for him. Our illustrious autocrat has fallen off his mountain bike and scwaped his wittle knee. This is very important since the tree hugging liberals are holding their convention and actually making the news with insane topics such as international relations, health care and the war in Iraq. Hopefully the liberal media will take a minute and let us know if the Prez is using neo-sporine or camphophenique in lieu of this relentless barrage of facts and redeeming intent by the commie pinko libs. Damn Convention is ruining everything!

[Froggystyle]

I didn't know he was a mountain biker.
That is so cool! One more reason to like him.

Um, I think that happened yesterday. I guess you were too busy jacking off while listeniing to Clinton speak that you missed it.

Lets see here...
Point 1. If Bush is an Autocrat, water must be running uphill.
Point 2. Damn convention is good entertainment for most conservatives....

Nice bike pansy! What, can't handle going UP???
XC for life!!!
Obviously, just kidding. DH is cool too. Different thrill.
We ride every Tuesday. If you ever find yourself down here, and have an XC bike around... we have about 3-4 SEALs and Recon guys who ride, and a couple board members too.

Froggy,
The lightest bike I have now is a Santa Cruz Bullet that's 39 pounds. The bike in the pic is a light weight 52 pounds. lol
That pic was taken in your back yard at the bottom of the World Cup by Anderson Truck Trail.

Lake Pirate I'm a bit confused by you. You seem to dislike autocratic policy, yet you also seem to support the most autocratic of our nations parties. :confused: What gives. You seem to distrust big government, but you support the party that wants more and more of it.:confused: I can understand if you (like me ) dislike authortarian gov and thus dislike Republician politicians. But to then turn and support Dems seems like cutting off your whole leg to cure a bad big toe. What gives? Do you have or follow any particular ideology or do you just hate Bush or what???I mean the Clinton administration's domestic policies were far more autocratic than the Bush administration's, even with the homeland security act. Did you hate him like you do Bush? After all, it's the Dem's who don't seem to trust us to control any aspect of our lives (other than sex) without government regulation or restriction.

I don't necessarily subscribe to every concept the Democratic party decides to tear out of the comic book. I do think they are a far lesser evil. Exactly how is it possible for Slick Willie's foreign policy to be even remotely as autocratic as Herr Buschs "damn the torpedo's war on whatever" and his communistic "home security act?"

When he spoke to our normandy vets a few years ago and said the line to them that "when they were young they saved the world" it choked me up and brought a tear to my eye. It almost made me forget how his hatchet men were rapidly distroying the VA and under his nutty VP's "re-invention" turning it into the massive disfunctional HMO that it is today (and most brilliant part is he didn't finish screwing it up until he left office with it in such a mess that Bush can't possibly fix it and is currently getting blamed for it all) cruel, dishonest, and cunning.

Lets see:
From Dictionary.com
Autocratic
A ruler having unlimited power; a despot.
that what you really think? Didn't the House and the Senate have to VOTE authorization for the war? Does that define a Despot?
Communistic
\Com`mu*nis"tic\, a. 1. Of or pertaining to communism or communists; as, communistic theories.
So you think Bush is a Communist? Wow, that's interesting for a person evidentally in favor of Socialism...
What you have laced your post with is rhetoric, plain and simple...

Yeah... not exactly. I will be hiking that stuff. Eco is supposed to be kick ass right now though. There are limitations to XC... but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night...
Pretty bad ass on that step up Dave! Great shot too.
Billy Bobcat is in jail for brandishing a shotgun at a mountain biker. It turns out that after the big fire, some crews couldn't get back there to fight it because of that jackass' obstacles. So, some survey crews came out and re-zoned for the truck trail and I guess it is now open again, but only after the obstacles. There is a bypass trail we plan on taking.

[Lake Pirate]

Y'all completely missed my Southpark recall. It was hilarious but...your loss. (Maybe I just crack myself up?) I changed my mind. The home security act isn't communistic...it's fascist. Look it up for me. Purdy please?

We do it because there are rarely any liberals up that high. Take too much work, and there is a payoff at the end.
You see, because liberals only want to ride down the hill. They usually do this for a term or two until a Rep gets elected who has to schlepp all the weight back up the hill. Then, just as they are about to be able to reap all of this crap they have been sewing, the nation pusses out and turns around to ride back down. ;)
I hope you sense the sarcasm... 'cause I am laying it on pretty thick!

The correct sarcastic rhetoric would be:
The reps make it hard on everyone including themselves. Hence, Georgie's horrifying knee accident. Whereas the dems make good decisions, which makes it downhill for everybody. Hence, no scabs.

I made it all the way down about a month ago and on my bike... I was as proud as could be. I have personally never seen anyone make it down the meat eater (150 yards of rock garden exiting in a 3' drop to flat 90 degree turn) and for some reason I just "saw the matrix" while bike-hiking down it. It is weird, but I literally saw a line, walked the bike down it and then rode it. I was amazed, and so was everyone in our group.
Then, I come to find out that everyone does it on DH bikes. Such is life... Big fish, little pond! :D

OK here you go...
Fascism
A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.
Oppressive, dictatorial control.

Hey look, Lake Pirate - also known as: The Sandbar Troll - is back.
What happened, did you get bored watching the mindnumbing collection of buffoons your left-wing liberal party is putting on TV?
Couldn't you get a lawyer to help you make make millions by spilling McDonald's coffee in your lap?
Did you go into shock after seeing your hillbilly ex-President on TV last night?
Did you run out of money after seeing Fearmongering 9/11 a dozen times?
Are you tired from putting that bumper sticker on your car - the one that says, "Got a problem? Throw money at it!"
Are you exhausted from waving that protest sign in front of the military base - you know the one that says, "Liberals don't fight wars they just cut military spending!"
Hey troll, if George Washington was a liberal this would be the United Kingdom.

I donno about that. I ride with some REALLY good riders and it did help me get some better skills. But all in all about the best I ever was was a mid pack sport level rider.

[Froggystyle]

My problem is that my bike is now dialed in, so I will need to find something else to blame for poor performance.
Last week was easy, I forgot I was riding and took ripped fuel with breakfast. That is the last time I take ripped fuel, this I promise!
Heart rate monitors don't lie. Going up Anderson I was pinned at 200+ damn near the whole time. I took it easy to keep from having my aorta shoot out of my armpit.
Today however, I ate my wheaties. Let's see how hard this really is...

[superdave013]

You know, I do have an Intense Tracer. Great XC bike. I robbed some parts off it to build the bullet up on the cheep. I've been meaning to get it back on the road.
I'll let you know when I do and you can kick my ass up some hills. lol

I said domestic policy. Clinton's forgen policy wasn't autocratic it was wimpy. He was qick to sellout our intrests to be popular with other nations leaders.
His authoritarian domestic policy frightened me. There is nothing in the homeland security act that is authoritarian that Clinton didn't also try to get. Plus Clinton tried to get other powers that the HSC doesn't even contian. If 911 had happened under his watch (instead of just planned and set up) and congress would have givin him everything he and Gore wanted we would be living in a much more authoritarian state than we do now. One simply has to look at the proposed legislation that came out of the White House from 1993-1999 to verify that he was one of the most domestically autocratic presidents in our history. The main differance is that Bush got 90% of the powers he wanted and Clinton couldn't get 90% of what he wanted. But if you look at what Both men have tried to get, Clinton makes Bush look like a Libertarian....

[Lake Pirate]

I'd check that out but it sounds like a lot of work? I'll take your word for it. Maybe you can just give us the highlights? For the life of me I can't remember one example of Clinton trying to take away personal liberties? Maybe I was in Mexico?

Off the top of my head I can think of some specifics. Take for example one of the more onerous parts of the homeland security act "the roving wire tap" Clinton tried to get and even more vage and authoritarian verson of this in all of his major crime bills, but congeress took it out. He also tried to use the bogus notion of "protectors privacy" to make it so secret service agents couldn't report apparrent wrong doing or testify aginst presidents and thus make them loyal to the prez instead of to the people who hire them to watch the prez. You must rememer this one, since it went all the way to the Supreme Court and it was shot down unamously in record time by them. Then, of course, there were all the phony gun controls and bans he proposed (and in some cases got)....
Plus there was the pattern of use for the IRS.
During the Clinton years every Conservitive group and most every promanent republican supporter was audited every year while prominant liberal groups and individuals were completly left alone. The only other prez in U.S. history to wield the IRS this way was Nixon. Under his administration the liberals were all audited and the conervatives were left alone.
Well gotta go now, perhaps we can play more Hannity and Colms or CNN Crossfire tomorrow....
