for the tens of millions of Americans invested in the stock market, retirees, 401K participants,Read More etc, President Obama receives an A+. thank you sir! http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/25/business/economy/sp-has-more-than-doubled-under-obama.html

I think it's some of you who are distorting the facts. Bush started a war after being dishonest toRead More the United Nations. He then ignored the constitution and Geneva Convention by torturing prisoners. This isn't part of the American value system. This isn't the example we should be setting for the world. These were important decisions and George Bush was obviously part of these decisions. Yes some things have gone wrong in the Obama Administration, but they were more minor, and clearly Obama would not have been part of those decisions. Do you really think Obama made the decision of who should be scrutinized when applying for tax exempt status? Of course not. Twist all you want, no matter, history will get it right. And when it comes to putting party before country, nice try, but I'm a republican - I just happen to be an honest republican.

It's just all the anti bush people (justified on many levels) are incapable of objectivity --andRead More able to see the many flaws of obama. The man has desecrated and disrespected the Constitution---a fact that would have enraged the left had Bush done it. The point is that if bias is something the left abhors, then dont act in such a biased way towards the ACTIONS of men in the oval office. If you consider poor treatment of suspected terrorists to tarnish the reputation of the United States, then please dont quietly accept the killing of Americans who the CIA suspect are terrorists; dont applaud the awesome way he directed the operation of Navy Seal Team Six and the killing of Osama bin Laden but excuse his total absence when our Ambassador in Libya is killed. They remove his involvement in anything that doesnt go well. It's all a show. And all those smart people on the left---so CAPABLE of making assessments of Bush are now incapable of analyzing Obama? No--it's bias. It's intellectual dishonesty. Hold this guy accountable. Dont put party before country.

Amanda Johnson says the light is out on 35 going toward Route 7 where you can turn at Limestone orRead More Havaland.

Way to go lawn sprayers Thunder hill is just a constant whiner.
Thunder Hill May 23, 2013 at 01:16 pm
People, stop spraying your lawns with chemicals! Cancer rates in CT are higher than other states.Read More That's because we have the money to spray our lawns and turn them into green perfection. But it can kill you and your kids. Just stop it already. Is your grass more important than the health of your family?
Porter Gladstone III May 24, 2013 at 07:35 pm
Thunder Hill? You mean so you make sense? As in --when you write complaints on 5 other threads,Read More yet then distill another person's comments as not worthy of consideration -to be just 'whining?' Lisa --i dont think we should discriminate on the basis of age. But maybe we should place a threshold of 88 IQ to be able to post? That might make sense--- a lot more sense than one guy I see making absurd commentary anyway?
Thunder Hill May 24, 2013 at 01:53 pm
Lisa, with the new Patch format, maybe you should think about setting a minimum age requirement.
Porter Gladstone III May 23, 2013 at 10:34 pm
"ignore the whiners" haha--dude-- thats all you do
Porter Gladstone III May 23, 2013 at 10:32 pm
nice job boe thunder hill whines about everything
Thunder Hill May 23, 2013 at 01:13 pm
No money for the classrooms? A shame. Ridgefield's BOE just donated $25,000 of taxpayer money toRead More yet another artificial turf field. Gee, that works out to about $480 per classroom - exactly what the teachers have to spend out of their pockets on YOUR kids. Lesson: Money for sports? Yes. Money for the classroom. No.
