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.

I sort of follow MAC but -lets face it- Isnt the most improtant thing an Obama Phone?? The workingRead More people who pay all the taxes and carry the load for the freeloaders are being made suckers by O. He inscreases food stamp and raises taxes so that fires are lite all over and no one will suspect him of breaking the law. Duh?

wait ten years, we wont be arguing about this period of stagnation or throwing darts at Bush. We'llRead More have agreed that W did a good job and Bam, well, not so much.

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?

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.
