I am always looking for excellent writes and conservatives and you are both!<br /><br />Let me know either way and if you want to pass, that is quite all right by me. I will not be insulted and understand.<br /><br />You ARE that good!<br /><br />Congratulations over at Ricochet. I did not even know about it. Great job all the way around.PatriotUSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171721694866847529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297534039335729692.post-24496741429283592602012-07-10T12:49:22.345-07:002012-07-10T12:49:22.345-07:00Hey!

If a piece is deemed good enough by the editors, they may post it on the Main Feed where all of the "professional writers" post. Many of my friends have been trying for 1-3 years with no success.<br /><br />I posted mine late Sunday night and was shocked when my friend George Rapp tweeted this: <br /><br />1st at-bat is a home run! @tamij, 'Let's Re-Calibrate Their Priorities!' on http://Ricochet.com http://shar.es/tpTGA via @sharethis #hewitt<br /><br />The Main Feed gets national exposure! I am still shocked! If you scroll down, I'm at 23 hours (about 11 articles down)... http://ricochet.com/main-feed<br /><br />I better get busy and think of more topics!!!tamijhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12007049647460624373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297534039335729692.post-35051543224738343202012-07-09T09:13:15.096-07:002012-07-09T09:13:15.096-07:00OK, you got me, Nick...ginger beer?OK, you got me, Nick...ginger beer?PatriotUSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171721694866847529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297534039335729692.post-42120917981506070302012-07-09T01:20:09.306-07:002012-07-09T01:20:09.306-07:00I come from a different background, fishing (Dad, ...I come from a different background, fishing (Dad, grandas, uncles ,all fishermen - I was a marine engineer) but it's gone down the tubes now too.

She loves it there and I hate Prius's so much. The self righteousness that comes with the car and the oh so hip(loser) lifestyle. There are many reason I drive a big car, 1995 Buick Riviera, which gets well over 30 MPG on the road and seems to insult those of the liberal stripe. Aww, too bad and it has a few '"RIGHT' stickers on the rear bumper that upset a lot of leftards. <br /><br />I am just an evil, getting farther right ole' Constitutional conservative and really, just leave me alone but they never do so I fight back and they just yell and lose it.<br /><br />I have some really snarky posts here and one was on Portland where I almost ripped into two multi-pierced losers outside of Powell's bookstore. Wife and daughter pulled me away, caused quite a stir. Oh so close....<br /><br />Every time we, I go to dorkland I almost end up getting in fight or wanting to kill some weirdo or moron who makes the mistake of wanting to 'talk' to me. Bad move on their part and I have had to pulled away from some Portland losers lest I kill them and end up in Sam Adam's jail.<br /><br />I do love Voodoo donuts and Hot Lips pizza. Sizzle Pie is pretty good too.PatriotUSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171721694866847529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297534039335729692.post-71690807839373834672012-07-08T22:39:35.057-07:002012-07-08T22:39:35.057-07:00I was raised in Bend (Dad was a research soils sci...I was raised in Bend (Dad was a research soils scientist) and now live in Wilsonville. I rarely venture into downtown Portland. All the progressives and their ridiculous Priuses with "Keep Portland Weird" bumper stickers are everywhere--they occupy Portland full-time! I did see a bumper sticker I really liked the other day--"Weird Isn't Working"! Ha! <br />Yes...Bend has changed tremendously, and I wouldn't say for the better. Sometime I'll email the families history and why I began with this article.tamijhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12007049647460624373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297534039335729692.post-38855120755748189422012-07-08T22:30:20.844-07:002012-07-08T22:30:20.844-07:00My standards???

I use the spell checker and do the best I can. Sometimes it is my dedicated followers who alert me to my mistakes, which I appreciate. I have been at this for over four years and 4,000 posts later, I still screw up.<br />YOUR writing will be and is fine!<br /><br />I am up very late almost every night due to severe chronic pain from way too many surgeries, fusions etc. <br /><br />LadyRaven knows my issues and struggles. What a dear person!<br /><br />So, are you in Bend or Wilsonville? I am in Redmond and really dislike Bend anymore. I want it to be 1985 again, sniff!<br />Wants to be too much like Portland for my tastes and I really hate dorkland, ugh!<br /><br />Honored to share your post and it is exceptional, tamj. LR knows I do not give compliments lightly or without merit.<br /><br />As an old head timber guy, fire fighter I agree with you 100%. It is up to those like us, to try and take our country back. as you said, I will NOT go down without a fight. For me, that means if my blood must be spilled, then so be it. My family knows and understands this. <br /><br />They DO NOT like it but grudgingly accept this as part and parcel of who I am. Call me a IIIpercenter and I see that as a very high compliment.<br /><br />Thanks again for your permission!PatriotUSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171721694866847529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297534039335729692.post-26060132098181064492012-07-08T22:25:43.331-07:002012-07-08T22:25:43.331-07:00PS - I am so very sorry about the loss of your fri...PS - I am so very sorry about the loss of your friend caused by the spike in the old growth tree.
