Finally…woohoo!
cmrqt on August 25, 2008 at 7:33 PM
Well it’s about time!
I’ve been a long time reader and distributer of some of Hot Air’s GREAT works.
Happy to see everyone
AlreadyKnownAs on August 25, 2008 at 7:34 PM
Cyclosarin, LGF opens on Thursdays 3:30 to 4:15pm or there abouts and on Saturdays and Sundays about the same time. Their time zone is Pacific so adjust it for your own. Just keep tuning in at approx those times like I did and you will get in. Be sure to have a paid email; they will not take addresses on Yahoo, Hotmail and other free sites. Good luck, took me about a year until I caught on about the special times.
AReadyRepub on August 25, 2008 at 7:36 PM
Hot air. Cool.
(Oh crap. I’m already disagreeing with myself.)
Ronnie on August 25, 2008 at 7:48 PM
Wow! So many new faces … well, ok, NAMES! Glad to see such a long line at the door. Don’t be shy, come on in and make yourselves at home, beer’s in the fridge!
Tony737 on August 25, 2008 at 7:48 PM
Sweeeeeeeeet!
13Girl on August 25, 2008 at 7:55 PM
Outstanding! I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time. Thanks to Alphie and a few others, I’m salivating at the prospect of poking holes in their weak arguments.
Oh, I hope work doesn’t restrict comments like they did the registration process. :) Cheers.
Marine_Bio on August 25, 2008 at 7:59 PM
Yay, I made it. Hopefully more independent-minded people like myself — full disclosure: I’m a conservative Obama supporter — are joining up, cuz this place seems like a GOP echo chamber (or rather old folks home).
P.S.: Glad to see that inflammatory “blogging the Qur’an” series get the boot. Robert Spencer never met a selection bias he didn’t love.
Speaking of which — We must LOVE our fellow man, not hate him.
philnewkirk on August 25, 2008 at 8:18 PM
Glad to finally be registered. This is always a busy blog and there are many beers to be downed.
gleep on August 25, 2008 at 8:18 PM
Hatred is not a family value – It is the Democrat agenda.

We must LOVE our fellow man, not hate him. – Phil
Ha! Ok, I’ll take the bait. Yeah, wouldn’t that be great if we could get THEM to love US? Try going over there and saying “Hello my fellow man, I sure do loooooove you.” Their answer would be “INFIDEL! I KEEEEEEEL YOU! LALALALALALA!!”
We must LOVE our fellow man, not hate him. That’ll look real nice on your tombstone …
“Here lies Phil Newkirk, he died trying to love his fellow man. All he really wanted was peace in our time.”
Tony737 on August 25, 2008 at 8:55 PM
you mean i’m IN? i’m actually IN?
After months of forced lurking, I’m finally in!!
Now I’ve got to post all 7,372 of those comments I have stored up for this very day.
Here’s the 1st one:
I’m a FredHead! :)
toenail on August 25, 2008 at 8:58 PM
OK where are the HA polls on which newbies are trolls/lying and also which will be banned first?
I have a name to nominate.

Tap, tap…is this thing on?
Can.Utility on August 25, 2008 at 9:05 PM
Hey, I finally made it in. I have been reading this site for months, best political site on the web. I’m glad I didn’t pick today to cling to my guns and religion cause I wouldn’t have known registration was open.
Just wanted to say Hello to everyone.
kam582 on August 25, 2008 at 9:06 PM
Yea, finally in with the Hot Air crowd!
animalkeeper on August 25, 2008 at 9:12 PM
Which party is openly hostile to immigrants?
philnewkirk on August 25, 2008 at 9:21 PM
I have spent hours lurking here – first time posting.

SteveMG @ 9:24 AM Thank you for the photo of the hot Russian babes. Welcome all newbies, for many years I thought I was an independent that leaned to the right. Only after taking a quiz that I linked to from this site did I learn I’m actually a libertarian that leans to the right.
( I think it’s like a promotion, right? ) welcome all.
aceinstall on August 25, 2008 at 9:28 PM
Finally! Nothing more to say other than “Whoohoo!”
eaglescout1998 on August 25, 2008 at 9:33 PM
JOY! I am finally in.. man, I have waited for a long time for this day.
Hideeho everyone!
johnnyboy on August 25, 2008 at 9:33 PM
Try reading the Quran. The only difference between your belief and what Tony is talking about is convenience. It is convenient to not kill the infidel if there is money to be made. Zealots follow the teachings of their religious texts.
How many zealous Jews have had suicide bombings?
How many zealous Christians?
Or more importantly, HOW MANY Muslims have died as a suicide bomber?
You don’t see this kind of hatred from other groups do you?
Marine_Bio on August 25, 2008 at 9:34 PM
Kids go back to school and HA Open Registration……Life is good!
ohiorebel on August 25, 2008 at 9:39 PM
I don’t think this is the thread to debate the validity of religions. Then again, I don’t have a dog in this fight, being an Allahpunditheist. :)
philnewkirk on August 25, 2008 at 9:43 PM
Good to be aboard.
Melchiz on August 25, 2008 at 9:43 PM
Extreme caution to all! Very graphic video at the below link. It’s just for “philnewkirk” to view. Please enter at you own peril…Really, please I mean it. I’m known for kidding around a lot on this site…not now.
“philnewkirk”, it might explain a few things to you, and who we are all dealing with.
Right here.
God forgive them. Not me.
AP it had to be done.
Over.

Happy to see my pick for troll/first banned is leading the pack.
Can we un-ban honora? At least she was someone you could debate with.
F15Mech on August 25, 2008 at 9:50 PM
Wow, you pulled out all the stops on phil.

You’re wrong and obviously have never spoken to a Muslim. – Phil
I’m not talkin’ about muslims in general, if that were the case I wouldn’t be in favor of liberating Iraq, would I? I’m talkin’ about terrorist, you know, those maniacs our troops are fighting over there, ever heard of ‘em? They wanna come here and keeeeeeel you in the name of allah, blow up your kid’s high school, make your wife wear a burka, rape your dog and force your family to submit to islam. Wake up, Phil.

Ha! I remember her! I was reading the other comments and somebody mentioned Pinky. Don’t remember that name at all. But I do remember Constantine, anybody else remember that genius? How ’bout Puritan? Whatever happened to him? He was cool.
Tony737 on August 25, 2008 at 10:03 PM
I only said we should love our fellow man, not hate him. Terrorists are not our fellow man. Hate them to your heart’s content. You have my approval.
philnewkirk on August 25, 2008 at 10:06 PM
I’ve waited sooo long for this!
Thanks for opening registration!
Shelby on August 25, 2008 at 10:09 PM
Well here I am able to comment on the various subjects. This is just excellent. I hope I can bring some good thoughts to this blog. Thank you VERY MUCH Michelle Malkin, along with your helpers, for starting Hot Air and your other blog. Keep Rocking and Rollling, also keep an eye on your six out there.
Heltau on August 25, 2008 at 10:10 PM
Terrorists ARE our fellow man, Mr. Phil. It’s not good to play with definitions on a relativistic level.

Nuance is my middle name. No seriously, that’s what it says on my birth certificate.
philnewkirk on August 25, 2008 at 10:33 PM
First they came for James Dobson, and I did not comment because I didn’t have a login. Then they trashed Mike Huckabee, and I remained silent because I didn’t have a login. Finally they came for me, but at least I now have a login.

jaime on August 25, 2008 at 11:34 PM
Good, it should stay that way, and apply to legal and illegal immigrants. McCain may not be a perfect candidate, but he shares my values when it comes to treating all of God’s children with love, not hate, no matter how they got here.

Sweet, good thing I checked in today. Would have missed this, been wanting to be able to post here. Although I can’t at work, hotair is blocked due to supposed “streaming”.

Great!! Finally after a year and a half of lurking, I got in! Hi Miss E….I’m always delighted to read your comments. You are one of my favorites. I’m a nightowl so I’ve always missed registration before. Great to be here everyone.

RAB on August 25, 2008 at 11:59 PM
Oh, you’re talking about foreign nationals in this country illegally.
Why do you think you have to lie, phil? It’s in the liberal’s DNA, but you being a conservative and all…
jaime on August 26, 2008 at 12:07 AM
Hi RamLady, nice to have some new Night Shifters on HotAir!
Tony737 on August 26, 2008 at 12:19 AM
I’m pro-life.
philnewkirk on August 26, 2008 at 12:21 AM
It is love, not hate, that we should give all immigrants.
That is not a lie, it is the truth.
God Bless!

Finally in; let the games begin.
Nagan1 on August 26, 2008 at 12:30 AM
Thanks for the welcome! But I have to admit I have no idea what you mean by “P.M.er”. So I guess that means no! :)
RAB on August 26, 2008 at 12:32 AM
Aliens in the U.S. illegally are not “immigrants”, phil. Let’s try to use the correct terms, shall we?
At Hot Air we are not averse to rational discussion, but when you start out with misrepresentations like:
what are we to think?
I get the feeling you’re a troll, phil. And a Moby. Among other things.

Thanks so much for letting us leave comments. It is most appreciated!!! My brother informed me of this site and now it is the first politics website I visit everyday and has been for a few months now. Keep up the great work. You really help me find the perfect ammo to battle these liberals with.

He means the late-night bloggers RAB. I’m one too!
Ramlady on August 26, 2008 at 1:26 AM
Glad to be here, everyone. I am a hawkish libertarian, which means that half of you are probably going to have a beef with me all the time. I can’t wait for AP to post a church-state separation related topic so things can get really rowdy around here!
sobincorporated on August 26, 2008 at 1:35 AM
Oh duh! I should of guessed!
Yep…I’m a late-nighter. I’m usually here in the very early AMs actually.
RAB on August 26, 2008 at 2:25 AM
A fine website indeed. I am happy I was able to catch the open registration. The amount of other newbies posted before me only shows what a good thing is going on here.
While still trying to find my bearings, I suppose it would be out of line for me to ask how a pro life conservative could support Hussein. If not, I just did.
Extremely curious.
Oh, and due to my insomnia and late schedule, I am a night owl as well. Howdy other fellow Texans!

Rovin on August 26, 2008 at 12:21 PM
I support OBAMA just to piss off my fellow conservatives who address him by his middle name. :)
philnewkirk on August 26, 2008 at 12:36 PM
And given Obama’s record on abortion, he seems to be trying to make sure there’s fewer of anyone around to use his middlename.
Honestly, I don’t see how anyone who say’s they are “pro-life” can possibly support him. Regardless of his other Marxist tendencies, you’ve got to do some serious mental gymnatics to support him.
darury on August 26, 2008 at 1:29 PM
I support him because I’m not a one-issue conservative, and I think abortion is a far more complex issue than most left-right activists make it out to be.
Plus I believe — regardless of my pro-life stance — women should have the final say in how they choose to use their reproductive organs.
philnewkirk on August 26, 2008 at 1:41 PM
I’ve finally got registered!! Thanks, Hot Air!

bryan2369 on August 26, 2008 at 1:58 PM
“Women should have the final say” is a pro-choice stance. That’s where the “choice” part comes in. I say you could call anything a choice and make it legal, but that’s just me. As for illegal immigration, I say we should lovingly explain to them the reason we have immigration laws in the first place as we lovingly deport them with love. That way, we give their country of legal residence the opportunity to love them all over again. Reunited and it feels so good!
