Wine with bbq? Really? And not a peep from all you Texicans? What is this world coming to?! Must be a bunch of YUPPIES.

What's the name of this magical elixir, King? Can you get it in the States? Might have to try it with a big plate o spaghetti and meatballs.

Comrade King, you've missed my point.

What I've been clear on is that taxes should not go to unconstitutional purposes. In reality, even that statement is not completely true. I have said that it is not unreasonable to fund a social safety net, as long as it did not result in religiously sociopathic vote-buying, which is what we now have.

I always get a kick when statists talk about democracy and majority will. Including to the point when there is only one political party in a country and a 100% voter turnout. Accommodation is considerably different than sociopathic religious infliction and vote-buying. You'd have been at home in the Confederacy, there isn't much difference between private slavery and statist neoslavery, except that not as much work gets done.

Ah, you can't resist injecting the sociopathic, Soviet-indoctrinated, statist, religious, demonization dogma that America was founded by a group of "old, rich, dead, slave-owning white guys who were only interested in keeping a old on their own wealth". Thanks for the opportunity to point out Soviet psychopolitical doctrine and dogma. Now everyone will understand why the term "Comrade" is so apt.

I'm puzzled by your sensitivity about the founding fathers. I admire them for their work, yours and mine. It couldn't enter my mind to knock them. (Ours didn't own slaves anyway.)

Equally puzzling is your recognition of the need for a safety net as long as it doesn't involve vote-buying. It doesn't make sense. They go together. Buying votes is common as rain everywhere.

I like Comrade, thanks. "Mate or fellow in work or play or fighting, equal with whom one is usually on friendly terms"---OED

Canada has laws that militate against shipping wines from one province to another---now being removed---and I don't have the volume to export to the US anyway. It gets snapped up locally.

We grow two French hybrids, Marechal Foch and L'Acadie Blanc, the latter becoming Nova Scotia's "signature" wine. The red Foch is glory with spaghetti and meat balls. Our vineyard is named Cote St. George.

I'm now helping to get a new winery started at Marble Mountain on Cape Breton Island. Viticulture is very interesting.

King, King, King,

You say you admire our founding fathers, yet you constantly profess views directly in opposition to their major accomplishment. The Constitution.

If all that is required for a person to receive other people's freedom is to vote for a politician sociopathically willing to go out and take it for them, it's clearly not a "Safety Net". It's a profession. Or, perhaps most accurately, a religion. It's the worship of Religious Statism. In the temple of the voting booth, before the altar of the ballot box.

It has caused the creation of the statist, religious politician, who's own self interest is in the destruction of economic opportunity in order to create dependency. If those receiving other people's freedom through the involuntary exchange of goods and services (statist neoslavery) were required to voluntarily remove themselves from voter rolls in order to receive the money, the result would be a government composed of politicians who's self interest would be the creation of economic opportunity, rather than oppression.

King, wasn't Marschall Foch the one who "Foched-Up" in WW1for The Froggies, along with ally Limey General Sir Arthur Haig "Don't be vague, say Haig and Haig"??? Back then your Country was still part of the "Empire"__ For King and Country-- Never mind whose side God might have been on.

I like Comrade, thanks....


To use your thought, the founding fathers voted the will of the people. Could it be, on that subject, they have a bit more clout than the run of the mill coequal progressive.

Aren't safety nets, laws. When you had that huge crude derailment spill in your vineyard, did you pay off the officials or work with the green party on a clean up protocol. Awe heck, I'm just kidding, I know you're above the law.

Maybe if you had met the founding fathers, you might have liked them as you like stalin, but then again like really shouldn't matter should it.

Quick tip, substitute some cheap stuff after the first round or two. Most folks wouldn't know the difference.

Gil, I've been posting the necessary contacts for the Georgia DEP, etc. because I'm holding out hope that a high-minded, high-morals guy such as yourself would do the right thing and get that mercury contamination issue removed before it causes harm to present or future inhabitants.

So far you've shown us no such inclination, preferring instead to joke about it, and defend the lies of a Leftist pathological liar without actually demonstrating that he is, in fact, truthful. Did you accomplish your goals here, or did you just manage to keep your pals frequent lies used to advance an agenda at the top of the page? Thank you for that little gift.

Anyone here who reads your posts can decide that mercury contamination is a serious issue, and selling a house with a known mercury issue does not absolve or release the seller from liability, and voice their concerns. You and I both know that could be done anonymously, and for all I know, someone may have already taken it upon themself to do just that. You haven't alienated anyone else here, have you? Your admission of the deed is right here for the world to see. Or you could do the right thing for a change, and man-up and fix it. You are the dumbass who did the dirty deed and posted about it on the internet. You are the dumbass who seems to think it's a funny joke. Do you think those bureaucratic environmentalist Liberals at the Georgia DEP will want or need any more to start sniffing? Sounds like you placed any burden of proof right on your own ass. And you can't even claim an ignorance of the law, even if you make it apparent that you are. I told you to keep digging, and you have. I like that you've been thinking about the ramifications and how it could play out. Don't think I feel at all threatened by your "It will be a fun game we will play." remark. I can see your hand, and it appears you are holding a 2,3,5,7, and a joker.


A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

Keith, go ahead and do what you feel you need to do. Your malice is transparent. Like I said, I need a new hobby offline. You think you know all of the facts? Make my day. Gil
