Dude, Do you ever leave the computer. You are one prolific, tenacious debater. I appreciate that. I always learn something in these things.
Thanks,

Firsty is hands down the most refreshing contributor to Newsvine. He debates his positions in such a way that even when one may ultimately disagree with him, they still walk away feeling as if they've learned something. Always respectful to his readers, Firsty is a true asset to the Newsvine community.
True Story behind the war Israel is not telling: Nice work and I appreciated the persistence with which you responded to all comers regardless of blatant bias or in-credulousness.
Anytime anyone criticise Israel of atrocities or misdeeds the defenders are quick to rail back with "anti Semite". I did not see that take place in your commentary. May be some of what's being said about Israeli conduct in this war on Gaza is sinking in.....I certainly hope so.
Voices of reason in Israel itself need to rally and crush this vileness toward it's neighbors. We in the US also need to force our leadership to be ashamed of it's record in backing the "modern day Goliath".
Appreciate your work.

Hi again dear friend fristy! Thanks for that last comment of yours. I like the fact that we might be of a totally opposing level sometimes yet still have the decency of executing a clearheaded conversation and changes of ideas instead of hanging with our fangs at each others throats..ROFL!
well, I can see your point and yet I feel that Obama might have something within his being that will not only be coming from a populist's point of few. I deny any assumption that I in anyway think of him as a super human in any meaning. far from that he seem to be a bit more attached to his own flaws and knowledge of his own chances on making mistakes. But that is also why I believe him to be of a more intellectual breeze. He might be from the same wardrobe but it does not mean that he will be the exact same smelly socks (if you catch my drift). What I do know is that what this Hillarious Clinton is doing is not much more then an act on behalf of the show. One must almost be blind to not be able to see how her whole being is unattached with her performance. Her husband was one hell of an actor but at least he had the decency in letting go of the act at some point. Hillarious? Hell no! She plays and will keep on playing even after the fat lady have sung, chipped for air and fallen of the damned stage. I wrote a little something about that point of mine. go in and check it out if you like, I would be honored as usual for any constructive criticism from you. I hope to catch up with you on line some day soon my friend. but until then..keep it up you brilliant scriptural wizard you. Bye for now..LR.
Thanks firsty for passing by and leaving your most welcome prints. I hope to stumble upon you in here any day soon, have some thought that needs their fare shot of critical insight before I go ahead elaborating them.

Your last arguement on "The Disintegration of America" was a startling piece of work, only to be expected from a brave and openminded author. Good luck.

Firsty is a fresh clever sensitive thoughful writer. He makes Newsvine a better
place for his presence, let alone his articles (of which he should write more.
I tell you all what, I have several writers whom I feel proud to call Vinefriends. Now firtsy here is definitely one of them. Not only is he an excellent *scribes man. He is also a very careful friend who have often pointed out good articles while stopping in to read ones own essays. I feel it considerably enriching with a person like you here firsty. So thanks for being who you are, and always stay fit and healthy for those memorable lines of scriptures to keep heading our ways.
*Those of ancient Egypt that took care of the teachings of writing, reading and the upholding of the law textures. For anyone who might be wondering about that word.
Firsty provides intelligent, thought-out commentary and articles for Newsvine, while addressing contentious issues with a level-head and calm words. I make a point of reading his comments in-depth as there is often more thought and analysis in one of his sentences than in most other writers' paragraphs.

A wise man.
A true writer in every sense of the word. With an unabridged sense of right and wrong, most assuredly on the FBI watch list, and a true friend against the hebetudinious masses. Read and be aware...or more appropriately beware. Its been a pleasure, and revolution be damned.
Firsty's medicinal reading for me and is instrumental to my ongoing treatment for political tourettes. I am grateful.
firsty brings an intelligent, reasonable, and fearless point of vew to Newsvine, and shows a real talent for dealing with less reasonable debaters by calmly, effectively, and respectfully pointing out misunderstandings. An asset to Newsvine who maintains a high level of discourse, firsty deserves a spot on the watchlist of anyone who is interested in a rational and intelligent point of view.
