Beware those long wolfs!

Granny Grammar, the correct spelling is wolves, not wolfs.

He's just going to say he meant to spell it that way.....

Jack and Dire, both of you are really str-e-t-c-h-h-in-ng!  Why do you think I highlighted the sheriff's use of the incorrect plural, "wolfs"?  Of course it was because of its erroneous spelling, which I incorporated into my topic title.  The subtlety (though not very subtle at that), of course, would not be appreciated by the ultra-dense Jack, but you, dire, should be ashamed to have demonstrated such

paucity of perception.  

He is insinuating that the sheriff is not very intelligent, however the sheriff appears to be far more intelligent at picking out the true enemies of this nation than the original poster.  Perhaps when ISIS is knocking on the door here in this country they will overlook people such as "the Contendahh", who have buried their heads in the sand and looked the other way while they saturated our ranks.  I, however, doubt it, since even ISIS would not find much more use for such people as most of us do.

Contenduhh,

 

Most likely, the grammatical errors were made by a deputy serving as the sheriff's public information person. 

 

There are, of course, two errors. The term is lone wolf, not long wolf. The dire wolf, which was long, is long extinct, plus the plural error -- wolves, not wolfs. The correct method for identifying such errors would be to place (sic) beside the error in the cut and paste portion of the post to show that one understands the error, but does not wish to change the article or quote.  Repeating the error in the title of the post should be treated in the same fashion, or spelled correctly.

 

I've usually simple place the (sic) in other posts, although I have highlighted yours in red.  The repeated errors were just too delicious to ignore from a Granny Grammar. True to predictions, you mounted your hobby horse and charged in all directions.

My "hobby horse" whinnied with amusement upon finding THIS in your pedantic explanation:

 

"I've usually simple place the (sic) in other posts...."

 

Let us hope that you do not "usually simple place" such clumsy and ungrammatical  constructions in future posts.

 

 

Whew.

Glad you exposed this.

 

While I watch for the "Wolves"...I feel confident you have my back covered, should there be any "feral Cat" plots.

___

I am working as hard as I can to eliminate as many feral cats as possible--all within the legal constraints bounding such activity.

Just watched the comical press conference by the FBI going to great lengths to deny or deflect any reference to him being a Muslim or it having anything to do with his actions.

If he is a Muslim, he is not a very good one, seeing that it is widely reported that he recently had a drunk driving charge.  Booze is a big taboo to the followers of the alleged prophet. On the other hand, the 9/11 Muslim suicide crews were Muslims, but they went out the night before and boozed it up and, according to some reports, chased some women who were not even wearing the hijab.

Killing infidels cancels fun Islamic sins apparently. The 911 crew wouldn't cut it as choirboys either:

 

In the meantime, as September approached, the Hamburg pilots began taking cross-country surveillance flights in the type of planes they would fly. Two arranged practice flights through the Hudson Corridor, the low-altitude “hallway” that passed the WTC; once again, a flight instructor noted ­Hanjour’s poor flying skills and refused to take him up a second time. In the weeks before September, Hanjour and Atta met twice in Las Vegas, where they may have finalized plans. Al-Shehhi also traveled there, visiting the Olympic Garden Topless Cabaret in downtown Vegas, where a 29-year-old with crimped blonde hair recalled giving him a lap dance; he paid her the requisite $20, no tip. In this proclivity, he was apparently not alone; strippers in clubs around Daytona Beach, including the Pink Pony, remembered servicing some of the men. Starting in the last week of August, nineteen tickets were bought for the four September 11 flights, some from a Kinko’s in Hollywood, Florida. A few days before the attacks, Atta and al-Shehhi spent hours at Shuckums, an oyster bar in Hollywood, where they drank Captain-and-Cokes and Stoli screwdrivers, played video Trivial Pursuit and blackjack, and spoke loudly to each other in Arabic. The bartender worried al-Shehhi might leave without paying his $48 tab; when a manager approached him, al-­Shehhi pulled out a wad of cash and said, “There is no money issue. I am an airline pilot.”

The bar was a strip club.

Bush was excoriated for over estimating the Iraqi threat.  Where now, is the cries against Obama for extreme underestimation of the ISIS threat -- just a JV team.  ISIS is now, reportedly, a worse threat than al Qaeda.  

____

Bush was rightly excoriated for being sucked into the neocon's bogus reports of "weapons of mass destruction" and precipitously going to war in Iraq. The success of the noxious neocons in deluding the Bush Administration and many others concerning Iraq's alleged WMD must be seen both as one of their foremost accomplishments and as one of the most tragic and treacherous geopolitical maneuvers in modern history. See who these warmongers are and who lined up with them:

Meanwhile Obama is dead set on giving the country away to illegals and asylum seekers looking for a better life.  You know like the Boston bomber and the Chattanooga shooter!

Mostly a melange of left wing conspiracy claptrap.  Yes, there was a goal of keeping the US on top for the 21st century -- so what!  Lefties would prefer the world in chaos, rather than the US be the most powerful.

 

Nice try at deflection, but again,Where now, is the cries against Obama for extreme underestimation of the ISIS threat -- just a JV team.  ISIS is now, reportedly, a worse threat than al Qaeda. 

 

And, as a result of Obama overthrowing Qadaffi, the Libyan arms and munitions headed for Syria to aid ISIS and central Africa to arm Boko Harum. 

Contenduhh,

 

An excerpt from your post:

"The success of the noxious neocons in deluding the Bush Administration and many others concerning Iraq's alleged WMD must be seen both as one of their foremost accomplishments and as one of the most tragic and treacherous geopolitical maneuvers in modern history."

 

Somewhere between misleading an an outright falsehood.  A major WMD report concerned iraq seeking uranium ore from the Brit MI-6, which the agency stood by for years afterwards.

 

As to most tragic and treacherous, hardly.  Consider the cause of the Civil War (not slavery, which was the cause of secession), the deliberate lie by the president not to resupply Union forts in the South -- results -- 500,000 dead.  Or, the progressive President Woodrow Wilson, also noted racist and segregationist who segregated the federal government, stumbling into WWI -- results -- 118,000 dead US. Compared with the Iraq war -- results -- 4,488 dead US, Just one small battle in either of the two aforementioned wars would yield more dead.

____

"S]eeking uranium ore" does not equate to possessing weapons of mass destruction.

 

And you are distorting what I said.  I called the Iraq blunder "one of the most..." You morphed that into "As to most tragic and treacherous...."  and used a single criterion, the number of fatalities, as your reference standard for comparisons.  The war in Iraq produced over 4,000 American deaths but it also, visa collateral damage, produced many, many more casualties of innocent Iraqis and displaced hundreds of thousands as refugees, not to mention the enormous waste of treasure involved. And our invasion of Iraq poked the Islamic bear and gave the radical Islamists incentive to pursue jihadist initiatives not only in Iraq but elsewhere, with continuing dire consequences.

________________________________________________________________________---

Contenduhh,

 

Attempting to rewrite history, are you now?

"Seeking uranium ore" does not equate to possessing weapons of mass destruction."

 

So Saddam was just attempting to build a nuclear reactor for peaceful purposes, in an oil and natural gas rich nation?  If, you truly believe this, how much did Bernie Madoff take you for?

 

"gave the radical Islamists incentive to pursue jihadist initiatives not only in Iraq but elsewhere"

 

So, the original bombing of the Twin Towers, followed by the 9/11 attack was perpetrated by whom -- a group of radical, Amish Mormons egged on by the Pope?

 

As to the tragic and treacherous choices made by presidents, let us not forget the Gulf of Tonkin incident rivaling the faked invasion of Germany by Poland, instigated by the Germans.  Racist. progressive president LBJ cost the US over 58,000 US dead.

You say, "Mostly a melange of left wing conspiracy claptrap."

 

No one who knows anything about the Project for the new American Century and its membership complement of numerous high-ranking government and associated major league conservative operatives can rationally dismiss that project and its influence on American foreign policy  as "Mostly a melange of left wing conspiracy claptrap." Shame on you, dire, for such cheap, evasive, and downright lazy tactics!

______________________________________________________________

Once more a deflection, its the conclusion that the conspiracy minded lefties come to that's the problem, not that PNAC exists.  The John Birchers were convinced Eisenhower was a Kremlin Manchurian candidate.  The left counterparts see FEMA camps at every row of barbed wire.

 

Shame on you for falling for and proselytizing similar claptrap.
