masterblaster72 0 #26 September 28, 2015 wolfriverjoe So Boehner = 'beener' or 'beyner' or 'binner' The way Boehner is written in German is Böhner -- the spelling with the oe is the de-Germanized version. The pronunciation of ö/oe is an o that approaches the sound of a "u," and doesn't resemble ay, ei or ey. His pronunciation of his name is a clear attempt to avoid the correct pronunciation -- which sounds like boner. Not taking a juvenile cheap shot, just stating a fact. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerryBaumchen 1,247 #27 September 28, 2015 Hi joe, Quote German names I have not been in Germany since '98. And it is very tough to phonenetically show how to pronounce words over the internet. But let me give it a try. Stein = Shtine Mueller = Muurler - I used to play ball with a Mueller; and he was my accountant for a number of years. This is how he said to pronounce it. Krueger - Can't do it - Maybe Kreyger Heitpas = Hite pas - Not good but maybe Christel, where are you when we need you? Hey, it was a try, Jerry Baumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And then it's called *denglish" - a bit silly teen speak but, hey why not .. And then they learn languages early at school and it goes on into their normal life - which is not bad, I think. Shtine is perfect, hite pas sounds like the written Heitpas ....only: What is Heitpas?? dudeist skydiver # 3105 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have this feeling that many whom dislike Boehner, will soon be wishing for his return. I think you are most likely correct on this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unlikely though: =============== Trey Gowdy to leave the House after 2016 By Pete Kasperowicz (@PeteKDCNews) 9/30/15 Rep. John Fleming, R-La., said Wednesday morning that Tea Party favorite Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., won't run for a fourth term, and instead plans to retire at the end of the current Congress to return to his home state. "Trey wants to go back to South Carolina, and God bless him for that," Fleming said on C-SPAN. When asked if that's what Gowdy has told other Republicans, Fleming confirmed it. "At the end of his term, yes," he said. "He plans to go back home, and he wants to finish his work on the Benghazi special committee. But he loves South Carolina and he loves his family, and he wants to go back and spend the rest of his life there." =============== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love to see this, but it would take a real effort - I believe history shows otherwise. A group of people that believe this, let's call them the original, I'll just make up a name, "Pea Tardy" group, or perhap, "Glibertarians", would actually get another reaction. 1 - the right wing would quickly try to hijack the movement and then inject (they like to inject) an excessively religious social agenda into the movement - or even just try to fool the public into believing that. 2 -the left wing, in clear cooperative movement, would also go and make a bunch of false noise CLAIMING that the Pea Tardy Glibs group in essentially focused on an excessively religious social right wing agenda and not a freedom and fiscal responsibility philosophy. Thus making them look like the worst of their counterparts, or the mirror of the worst of their own factions. this clear example of true "bi partisan" cooperation would then minimize the Pea Tardy Glib movement into kind of a joke that can't maintain it's own self image. Both entrenched parties then get to keep their fringies, and also continue to fight over the bulk of the citizens that would actually have liked the original intent. As a bonus, fringies on both sides will then get to swallow their party brainwash and mock the PT Glibs on internet forums and wonder why no one has thought of personal liberty and fiscal prudence before...... ...

billvon 2,689 #49 October 7, 2015 >1 - the right wing would quickly try to hijack the movement and then inject >(they like to inject) an excessively religious social agenda into the movement - >or even just try to fool the public into believing that. That's pretty easily avoided by creating a well defined platform early on that contains enough "poison pills" for both sides. "What? You believe in Al Gore's climate change alarmism? Well, sorry, we're not going to support you, because we don't want to be associated with that nonsense" "Waitaminute - you support guns? There are X killings a day in the US! We're not going to support any organization that thinks any Tom, Dick and Harry can buy a gun." "Well, I'm for smaller government - but cutting the funding for Old Lady McGregor's wooden leg? No way Jose." Much of the reason that the Tea Party was quickly co-opted by the GOP was that they were pretty amorphous; they were mad as hell about . . . something . . . and weren't going to take it any more. About the only consistent platforms they had (and could articulate) were a dislike of Obama and a desire for smaller government. That made it easy for the GOP to graft on a bunch of their stuff and take it over. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
