RE: Guestbook


I do watch John Stewart.  But also Sean Hannity admitted that John Stewart was correct.. They ran the wrong video and Stewart caught it.

 tongue-in-cheek comment Jib...I was only joking. Spinning off Nick Smith's opinion piece.  The Daily Show is really not all that bad....and I lied...I do watch it from time to time...

Sorry Jib...don't watch that one

...its been blatantly obvious for years that the Daily Show is a joke and a disgrace to the profession. Why watch it and give legitimacy to the most illegitimate of shows currently on the air?...

   uhhh apologies to Nick Smith....no plagiarism intended...

I really enjoyed Nick Smith's opinion piece, and I think it's nice to get some words out in the public that will tick off a few people.

Did any of you watch "The Daily Show" last night? I'm sure that's a dumb question. Check out this link for some more "top notch" reporting by FOX news:

I keep hoping that some of the more liberal viewers, or even the totally neutral viewers will write something....I really believe a page like this is a good forum to have discussion and debate from all sides....it just seems like so many people, when they are at a loss for words, or a comeback, can only attack without trying to lay out a logical reason.  That is so wrong.  I am not attacking Vicki either, it is the venomous ones I think that need to go back and take a look at what they write and VKO has never come across as mean spirited.

A perfect example is Nick Smith's opinion article in the Herald last week.  I think it was brave of him to write an article like that.  He formed an opinion, did some research, put it together in a coherent manner and put it out there.  Not many people will dare to do that these days.

The fact that I disagree with his position is not relevant. I wish more people would have the uhhh...wherewithal to do that. It was commendable. The negativism and knee jerk response from some other readers, at least on the guestbook, was uncalled for, at least in my opinion.  The philosophy seems to be, when in doubt, shout!

I have not seen any posts from Larry Larsen for a long time. I hope he is doing good and is well. I enjoyed trying to go toe to toe with him.  He knows his stuff and does his homework.  I think a lot of people went out and got some education when they read his posts, including yours truly.

Anyway...Vicki please continue to post, as I think that, at the very least, we are making enough of a difference that people who read the page will pause and think for at least a moment, if nothing else.

There are so many good people out there, who could contribute so much if they would post, particularly those who have different views than us.

...I keep hoping...

;o)

Steve - I no longer post on the Williston Herald.  Haven't for a long time.  If I do, I will put my full name, like Randy does.  So if you see Vicki on the opinion page, it is not me.  But, having said that, you used to have alot of posters on here.  It's a good page, and alot of people look at it.  That's all I meant.  I know I am in your face kinda person, which totally mess's up my sisters who are way way way liberal.  I just do not want to hurt your site with my "in your face attacks or speaking".  Just keep your site going.  It's a Great Site.biggrin

WHOA!!  Wait!!!  I wasn't referring to you, Vicki.  There are some people over there that are posting without first thinking.  Your posts have have merit.   None of the posters on this board have been an issue over there.  Sorry if you felt I was pointing a finger. 

Keep on posting, Vicki!!

I always said to my very smart sister's and very liberal sister's, I will never discuss faith or politic's with you ever.  Never did.  See where it gets you.  Sorry Steve.   I guess they, liberal's,  did their "JOB".   I will not Hurt your site any more.  I will now keep my view's to myself.  I speak from the Heart and Plain. I say what I mean, and Mean what I say.  If that is so bad, then, OH WELL.  So if you could take my name off, I would appreciate it.. I tried and of course failed.  God Bless and Take Care.
