I am an Eng Tech on SH6 at AFO. With the latest purge, I am actually doing the Eng job, since we only have one, so nights you are pretty much free to do whatever you want. It's actually pretty liberating, since you can fix stuff with no meetings or barflies trying to decide if they need the credit or not.

You work at Intel? I retired from Intel (JF) May 2015.

Luckily, I come up 99W from Dallas, go over the Newberg Hill and am at Intel in Aloha. 62 miles, but usually 1hr 15 minutes. :)

I believe the media is the enabler. When they want someone to go, they are out period.
Remember Howard Dean and his whooping it up.
How unpresidential of him , Dean should have stuck to selling his country out for a "foundation".
You have to ask why.

UGB was to prevent significant growth in the PDX area and to promote the use of light rail ($100M per mile for those not familiar with our fiscally conservative city fathers - tongue in cheek). How's that working out for them? When I drive Hwy 26 or 217, I fantasize about waterboarding the city planners...

A terminal virus at that!

There is also the virus that affects the memory of every person that has been in contact with the Clintons when people are called to testify regarding the Clintons. "I don't recall." "I have no memory of that."

Actually, I do not think so, Alsea is out in the boonies towards the coast, the UGB is a Portland fantasy, created to ensure developers get minimum revenue, which also goes to the local government, in the form of fees and permits. More of a way to force only wealthy outfits like wineries to be able to get large acreage that otherwise would be in individual hands.

1969, Clarance 13X, The whole Kennedy chain (Kennedy, Oswald, Ruby), Leon Jordan (1970), Hank Killiam (another JFK connection), Albert Patterson in Alabama (possibly). Just a few, but the point is, the right wing side has always put all kinds of firewalls in place to divert attention, thus making 99% of the associations "conspiracy theories", while the left wing (mainly associates of Clintons) just seem to get killed, out front and in the open. Same results, different methods. The CIA/FBI/Police always seem ssomehow attached to a lot of the right wing side mysteries, mainly through rumor, while the left prefers "robbery". Suicide seems a common thread to both sides, one of the best was Philip Schneider, who supposedly survived a battle at an underground alien base in Dulce NM, who was a cripple in a wheel chair who was able to get piano wire up 8 feet over a beam and hang himself in his home in Oregon. Death ruled a suicide. Like I said, the use of smoke and mirrors covers up almost anything, Clintons just have perfected the art of doing it all in the open with bold brashness. Is this data? NO. But there is also no "data" to support the Clinton claim, other than the fact an incredible number of people either get robbed and murdered, or commit suicide, when in close association with them. Maybe it's just a virus....

Urban Growth Boundary?

Can you give us some data on that? Hadn't heard that both sides had this same "issue".

Yeah, I have an offer on my house, yet I cannot find any acreage where either the government dictates whether you can have a house (Alsea: 80 acres, you must earn 45K/year for 2 years to be allowed to get a home permit, maybe) or costs a million dollars for a run down mobile no one will finance.

I just think some groups hide it better than others, as they haven't figured out how dumb the sheeple really are.

Really? I am sure that a detailed study of the last 100 years will show both parties seem to have similar number of "mysterious" disappearances and deaths, yet it is only the Clintons that seem to basically not give a crap if it is out in the open. She just says" What are you going to do about it?" and moves on, completely immune.

Well, I just seem to have come to the conclusion, most "isms" is just a nice way to package up "control". It is always a system to make others do whatever the little group "isming" wants. Usually to the detriment of those same others.

Sorry, but remember the modst common use of excuses by Clintons and their sheeple are "They just hate us" or "It's all a conspiracy to deny us our rightful turn to be the heroes America needs" or some drivel. And everyone goes gaga and then castigates whoever had the balls to call crap, crap, "Mean".

Sorry, I was indeed being sarcastic, being so disgusted at 30 years of Clintons being able to toally disavow any knowledge of any of their crimes, when no other explanation will fit the event. Even Inspector Clouseau should have been able to indict and convict on at least one of the events, yet, mysteriously, they seem to escape. This is like a bad batman movies with Hillary being a sister to the Joker...

He forgot to add the (sarcasm) flag. :-]

Methinks he was being a bit tongue-in-cheek on his reply...

Yep, and I recall how Scarface was kicked back down in Florida when the Valentine's Day Massacre occurred.
"I wuz no wheres near dat place."

Actually, all the reports I've seen explicitly make the point that it was not a robbery. So, it must be the "or something".

Perhaps we should adopt the Progressive's strategy, that being to fix something you have to destroy it first. The RINO's in the Republican party are the reason that we are in the mess we are.

They have studiously avoided confronting this president and his miscreant party at every step. It is almost as if they have an agreement with the D's to be allowed to continue in DC if they "play ball" with the Progressives!

What over conclusion can one draw when you see the blatant abdication of their "Loyal" opposition duties. The advise and consent is no longer in their vernacular it seems.

So, if we keep the status quo and these "go along to get along" R's continue to play it safe (allowing them to keep their power and perks) what can we hope for? There are 5 UN treaties awaiting ratification and even though they are unconstitutional, it looks like they eventually will get passed. We need strong leadership in order to resist (and defeat) the powers that wish to destroy our once great Republic.

Congress has proven itself to be all but useless and that is with an R majority. I have not seen anything that gives me hope that these folks are up to the task. Perhaps running scared will make them better (and less corrupt) leaders.....Too many Republicrats to make a difference!

I just read. The problem with socialism. Puts a lot into perspective. It is evil and it's everywhere. Hillary is the poster child for it. So of course the establishment gives her a free pass. Not sure who is worse- preacher Obama or flat out crooked Hillary. They are both master manipulators and have the establishment systems behind them. Trump at least is bucking the establishment for which I give him credit and my vote. At least he wants lower taxes, which means less socialist control over our lives. Ultimately the AS scenario is right- socialism is allowed to take over and the USA is destroyed. But maybe later than sooner. The problem with socialism is really a good book. I read it on kindle

As were all of the rest of the "real" conservatives and Constitutionalists!

At least they will try!
