On Canespace we have a blogger who posts his comments as "The Dude".
If you know something about movies "The Dude" is a character played by Jeff Bridges in a movie that has become somewhat of a cult classic called The Big Lebowski. If you never have seen the movie well then you should. Here is a brief summary of the plot from WikiPedia:
The Big Lebowski is a 1998 crime comedy film written and directed by Joel and Ethan Cohen. It stars Jeff Bridges as Jeff Lebowski, an unemployed Los Angeles slacker and avid bowler nicknamed "the Dude". After a case of mistaken identity, the Dude is introduced to a millionaire also named Jeffrey Lebowski. When the millionaire Lebowski's trophy wife is kidnapped, he commissions the Dude to deliver the ransom to secure her release. The plan goes awry when the Dude's friend Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) schemes to keep the full ransom.
The Big Lebowski was a disappointment at the U.S. box office and received mixed reviews at the time of its release. Reviews have tended towards the positive over time and the film has become a cult favorite, noted for its idiosyncratic characters, dream sequences, unconventional dialogue, and eclectic soundtrack.
In Miami there was this guy who played basketball that was apparently known as "The King".
Lebron "King" James helped bring two NBA titles to South Florida in the last four years but has now decided that simply wasn't good enough for him.
So, he has taken his talents with him back to his native Ohio. James finally and formally announced yesterday that he is going to leave the Miami Heat and play for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Who leaves sunny, warm, beautiful Miami to go to old, cold, dank Clevelend?
Well, Lebron James does, that's who.
So while "The King" may have abdicated his throne in Miami, "The Dude" still abides on Canespace. What lessons we may all learn from these events still remains to be seen.
MASH one of my top 3 favorite shows ever.

Blow me Lurker. I love this country as much as anyone and I'm tired of people like you questioning that fact. That's two days in a row you've made statements to me about my opinions.
You can take your Fox News clips and shove them up your ass as far as I'm concerned.

Classy.
Apparently you have some self control issues.
But I get it, you can spit out any opinion you like, and everyone's welcome to comment, unless the comment is one you dislike or disagree with, or hurts your ultra sensitive feelings.
By the way, Mr. Rage, reread my post. Tell me exactly, how and why you you feel so insulted. I think it's in your head.
As far as the "bl*w me" comment. I decline. Since you have now come out, let us know your preference, there are many places, which I'm sure you're plenty familiar with, where you can find other guys for that. Not my deal, but to each his own.

Ohhh snap!!! It's your delivery Lurker. And you're right I should not have come at you like that so I'm sorry.
My point is that I have every right to live in this country as you do. I was born here, I served in the military, and I pay taxes. If I think the government/military is being run by incompetents then that's my opinion and has nothing to do with my patriotism.
I wish there was a Tea Party for people like me who don't wish to join the KKK in order to evoke change in our government.

And yes I do have self control issues with regards to blogging. That's why I don't come around much anymore. I say shyt here that I would never say to people in public regardless of whether or not they can kick my ass.

I didn't question anybody's right to live in this country.
Huge overreaction because you don't agree with my opinion. I have zero problem with anyone disagreeing with anything I have to say, as that is your prerogative.
You will notice I don't insult anyone personally, or name call, etc.
Yet between you and "the Dude" apparently I'm some right wing zealot, that's old and has arcane, worthless opinions while I sit around in a wheel chair with a leaky catheter shaking my fists at cars as they drive by. But that's ok. Go ahead and think that's me. It amuses me.

You did Lurker. You used the "If you don't like it then leave" metaphor. It doesn't matter anyway. Again I'm sorry if I insulted you.
