Mr. Ribaudo - in checking news articles from the Arizona Republic, articles were located on two other POWs that returned in March 1973, however nothing was found on McCain.

I know this won't work for someone like you, but they keep track of historic events at Sky Harbor.

This would be where you come back with more names, lies and stupidity.
Don't dissapoint us. Maybe the government snuck McCain in and out of the airport. You and the other "30 odd" greeters were just hanging out there on the "odd" chance that McCain might show up. :lol:

How did you all know he was coming?????

how did you come up with 1973? more "facts" from madeupshit.com?

my exact words were "when he came home"
i do understand english is something you find difficult to comprehend, but claime to be the sole authority on the topic.

lets be clear. i came into this site, because you and your punk ass racists friends were not posting over here.

suddenly here you are, posting your shit again.
now you will say this is your site, and you have been here for years and you only went to peters site to avoid laz and critter and jan and whoever else haunts your twisted world.

you have the stupid peoples disease, where everything you think is god given fact.
it is not.
now take your limp dick back to peter, i hear he needs some.

Facts Are Facts......

Post by Joe Ribaudo »

pip,

Glad you asked. The following is from "Man Of The People: The Life Of John McCain".

[After the accords were signed, American POWs knew it was only a matter of time before they would be released. They could hardly control their emotions. Still, most did not allow themselves to become too hopeful—not until they were told to get on an airplane that would fly them out of Hanoi. That day came for John McCain on March 14, 1973. Along with 106 pilots and one civilian, McCain was taken to Gia Lam Airport. When the Americans were lined up on the tarmac and ready to board the plane in the order of their capture, The Rabbit was there to see them off. “When I read your name off, ” The Rabbit said, “you get on the plane and go home.” As McCain later wrote, “There was no way I can describe how I felt as I walked toward that United States air force plane.” Soon after he boarded, the plane, full of POWs, took off and headed for Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines.]

Now I realize that you will believe that is all lies, printed in the book so that you would look bad when you claimed that you saw McCain coming home from the Hanoi Hilton and getting off the plane at Sky Harbor Mission.

This, on the other hand, comes from a site that you would consider part of the "odd" people. That would be like you and those who were waiting on the tarmac.

I have had a pretty good relationship with Julie Rodriguez, at Sky Harbor for a few years now and left a message for her yesterday. I assume she gave the research to Ms. Peggy Kreus.

You asked for "proof", I have provided some of what is available. What kind of "proof" do you have, other than your usual lies, name calling and questionable dreams of grandeur?

You are really quite the joke, aren't you? Do you even realize it?

Good Words......

Wise Words For This Election Year!

This is good no matter what candidate you are for...

* You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

* You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

* You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

* You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.

* You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

* You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence.

* You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could, and should, do for themselves.

Do you recognize the author?

Correct........

Post by Joe Ribaudo »

lbj,

It would seem that you are quite correct. Let's give you a star for that bit of Internet detective work.

I felt the sentiments were the important part of the message, rather than
who said them, so I felt no need to check them out. You, obviously, felt proving that I had made a mistake was much more important than what was written.

As you may have read in the original post:

This is good no matter what candidate you are for...

Can I assume from your reply, that doesn't apply to you? Do you believe that Obama would be exempt from those sentiments?

I had no idea you were so well read. I must admit, you hide it well. :lol:

Catching Wild Pigs......

Post by Joe Ribaudo »

Catching Wild Pigs -

A chemistry professor in a large college had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Professor noticed one young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back, and stretching as if his back hurt.

The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting Communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new Communist government.

In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked, 'Do you know how to catch wild pigs?'

The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said this was no joke. 'You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, who are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat, you slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd.

Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity.

The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening to America . The government keeps pushing us toward socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc.. While we continually lose our freedoms -- just a little at a time.

One should always remember: There is no such thing as a free lunch! Also, a politician will never provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself.

Also, if you see that all of this wonderful government 'help' is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America , you might want to send this on to your friends. If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life then you will probably delete this email, but God help you when the gate slams shut!

In this 'very important' election year, listen closely to what the candidates are promising you !!

Just maybe you will be able to tell who is about to slam the gate on America .

'A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have.' - Thomas Jefferson

joe, if you felt the message was the important thing you should not have attributed incorrect authorship to it. leaving it anonymous would have been fine. associating abe with it gives the quotes a totally different context.

i dont know what obama would say about the quotes but i think they are very patronizing and somewhat fascist. they certainly are not ideas that jesus would have spoken on the mount.

your jefferson quote also does not seem to be something a person in that era would have stated. the words and the way they are phrased sound much more modern. it sounds like something our contemporary would say.

your wild pig story is a typical right wing propaganda piece designed to appeal to the uneducated. its the kind of stuff that right wing preaches and aryans use on a daily basis. if there was any truth to the story the odds would be that the boys bullet came from a contra or some other banana republic death squad weapon.

you would be well served if you expanded your library to include some material that questions all the right wing propaganda you are reading.

Brain Surgery......

Post by Joe Ribaudo »

It's fairly obvious that a number of people on this Forum need brain surgery, but in each of those cases it would be classified as minor surgery.

For those who are advocating the Obama health plan, the following site might be of interest:

http://www.freemarketcure.com/brainsurgery.php

No doubt after looking at that vidio, they will all still think we should adopt the health plan of our neighbor to the north. Perhaps if they should be unlucky enough to get a brain tumor, they will opt to travel up there for some really fine health care.

Good luck!!! :roll:
