Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Did you hear his speech in Virginia yesterday? He starts out thanking the Dems for giving him a reason to fly down in Air Force One, and says "it's pretty nice." No fucking shit. Global warming can wait until the next administration.

"And during his inaugural address yesterday, President Barack Obama said, 'Millions of Americans have lost their homes and some of us who still have homes have their mother-in-laws moving in with them.'" --Jay Leno

"Barack Obama is now the 44th President of the United States. Fascinating. As you know, we've never had an African-American president. We've had a Dutch-American president. We've had an Irish-American president. We've even had an incompetent American president. But we've never had an African-American president." –Jay Leno

"Yesterday, President-elect Barack Obama announced his new economic team. You know what he should do? Hire those people who were in charge of his fundraising campaign. We can pay this thing off in like a week." --Jay Leno

mark twain-

For in a Republic, who is “the country”? Is it the Government which is for the moment in the saddle? Why, the Government is merely a servant—merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn’t. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them.

Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.

My body is my own, at least I have always so regarded it. If I do harm...it is I who suffers, not the state.

Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.

If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.

who said these?-

All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach.

As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice.

I use emotion for the many and reserve reason for the few.

any guesses? no google searches either please.

thomas jefferson, anybody?-
All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

An association of men who will not quarrel with one another is a thing which has never yet existed, from the greatest confederacy of nations down to a town meeting or a vestry.

Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto.

Delay is preferable to error.

I own that I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive.

It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.

-he is a one man, one-liner wrecking crew. how did this country get so far off track?

Here's one of the most prophetic Jefferson quotes:

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies . . . If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] . . . will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered . . . The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

A good number of Americans ARE waking up homeless, and it will be a lot more if we blindly trust the Central Bank's solution of government spending to get us out of this mess. We will be FINANCIAL SLAVES to banks and foreign countries if we keep this up, if we aren't already. I think we're too far gone, but perhaps people will wake up once we hit hyperinflation and chaos hits the American streets. Then we'll have to sort out this mess, perhaps as the Founding Fathers did, but I hope we can get this thing turned around peacefully.

Jefferson in this quote sounds like... Ron Paul? :cheers: What do ya say, Lars and boilergrad?

some ben franklin, in a light some of you may be unaccustomed to-

“I didn't fail the test, I just found 100 ways to do it wrong”

“Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy.”

“I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.”

this is from JFK-
“We must face the fact that the United States is neither omnipotent nor omniscient; that we are only 6 percent of the world's population; that we cannot impose our will upon the other 94 percent of mankind; that we cannot right every wrong or reverse every adversity; and that therefore there cannot be an American solution to every world problem.”

some more franklin-
Half a truth is often a great lie.

He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.

If a man could have half of his wishes, he would double his troubles.

If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write something worth reading or do things worth writing.

It is the eye of other people that ruin us. If I were blind I would want, neither fine clothes, fine houses or fine furniture.

It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.

Money has never made man happy, nor will it, there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more of it one has the more one wants.

A good number of Americans ARE waking up homeless,
phil, I think that the fortunes that we saw lost in the markets last year as a result of our fiscal policy IS the modern day equivilent to waking up homeless in Jefferson's time. The majority of people don't own their homes (the bank does) but their investment portfolio & job security is most often the engine that drives them towards true home ownership.....consequently our current financial crisis has removed both, leaving people "homeless"

The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.
