Isn' t today the day Chuck Norris "takes our country back?"

[MrPerson]

[Kalyke]

1. Yep - him all 100 of his cronies.

:rofl:

[rolltideroll]

28. I dunno, how many ninjas do we have to oppose him?

And do they have to attack in a single file line?

[BlooInBloo]

2. Chuck Norris does not wear a condom....

Because there is no such thing as protection from Chuck Norris.

[NavyDavy]

3. wheres Bruce Lee when we need him? he killed Chuck Norris

in one of his movie and I have no doubt he could do it in real life......but alas my childhood hero left us way too early!!!!

[lazer47]

4. Chuck Norris is a movie actor,, Bruce was for real and lived for real

[RamboLiberal]

16. Chuck Norris is an RW idiot - but he was a for real martial artist

Won several karate championships back in the 60's. And as much as I admire Bruce Lee - Lee never actually fought in the ring.

[lazer47]

20. neither did Master Quang fight in the ring, but developed KUNG FU

There is a difference between becoming a T.V. Legend,, and just being a legend in life...

[RamboLiberal]

27. Kung Fu was developed many years ago and proven in combat

I studied the same martial art that Norris trained in originally in South Korea when he was in the Air Force in 1960.(Tang Soo Do). Norris previously had studied Judo. My Korean Master was one of the assistant instructors at Osan back when Norris was a student. When Norris came back to the United States he was quite successful on the karate tournament circuit circa the same era as Bill Wallace.

Norris was a martial arts legend long before he went to movies & then TV.

As far as I'm concerned while he's a RW idiot, he's still a very legitimate martial artist and black belt. He could've handled himself in a self defense situation.

[ShortnFiery]

51. No, with regard to Martial Arts and fitness, Chuck Norris is 100% above reproach.

However, mentally speaking, Chuck Norris is just plain NUTS! :crazy:

[BuyingThyme]

57. Hong Kong Phooey could stomp either one of those guys.

[NavyDavy]

52. actually he did....watch "the dragon - story of bruce lee"

[Odin2005]

54. Norris was a good guy untill he "found Jesus" and turned stupid.

He was a supposedly brilliant and innovative martial artist back in the day I've heard.

[Dr.Phool]

11. We'll get Jon Stewart to take care of him!

[Stevenmarc]

5. The day is young, he has to take a few to pump up on the Total Gym first

[lazer47]

6. Yeah, Take a few more "steroids"

[RamboLiberal]

30. Actually I very much doubt Norris ever took steroids

Yeah he's a RW jerk but I guarantee you he could kick most of our butts!

[Liberal In Texas]

38. Naw, he's probably got reservations at "The Palm" restaurant.

(It's an expensive steak house type place.) Which is where I saw him last.

[Stevenmarc]

40. Thanks

I'm pretty familiar with The Palm that's why I go to Keen's or The Old Homestead

[TK421]

45. Yeah...he has reservations at the palm, alright.....

;)

[Vinnie From Indy]

7. Chuckles and his band of "patriots" are set to take back America today

They'll get around to it as soon as they get some vittles at the Hooters down yonder. Ya cain't be taken over a country without sumthin' in yer belly.

[MikeNearMcChord]

8. Maybe get David Carridine, I still like Lone Wolf McQuade

despite, Chuckie's going over the deep end. Or have just have the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad take care of it.:)

[Dying Eagle]

9. I want to see that....

A rally with Chuck, Ron Paul and 50 Ring wing terrorist with Dirty bombs in there Idaho log cabin taking the country back......

What a fucking joke. Hey Ring wing nut jobs......you lost! This is a progressive, Jeffersonian country and you are not welcome among us of the two legged air breathers called Americans any longer!

[rolltideroll]

10. Is this the We have you Surrounded thing?

I guess it is the day he takes it back. I just saw a college professor and an unwed mother viciously round kicked. Quick Comrades, to the barricades, they are almost here!We have to defend the Revolution!

[CJCRANE]

19. "We have you surrounded"

the ATF agents will yell just before they storm Chuck's log cabin

(in his next straight-to-DVD movie)

[Ilsa]

12. He has to Twitter out the action plan first. nt

[Chovexani]

13. He got sidetracked in the Barrens.

[SidDithers]

14. Chuck Norris. Under his beard?...

Just another fist.



Sid

[tjwash]

15. They got into a shoot out arguing over where the 4000 porta potties went.

This revolution canceled due to lack of interest and all that...

[rolltideroll]

21. I am sort of new here

What is the deal with the port a potties references whenever the freepers are mentioned?

[CJCRANE]

24. They usually

have more porta potties than protesters at their events.

[jmowreader]

48. Understanding the freeper portapotty references

Freepers, like anyone else, have to apply for permits to hold outdoor gatherings. The city always asks for an estimated crowd size, to determine if they've got enough portapotties. If they claim 10,000 people will come to a four-hour gathering, they're required to rent from 40 to 64 units, depending on which rental service's website you ask. (There's a Canadian site I found that calls for one unit per 50 people!)

After they rent 64 portapotties for the purported 10,000-freeper crowd, fifty freepers actually come to the event and they've got more than one toilet per attendee.

The city may have a point: freepers are so full of shit one of them can overflow a portapotty all by himself.

[muriel_volestrangler]

17. You mean "takes back his country, that he has allowed us to think is ours"?

[BlooInBloo]

18. Chuck Norris' calendar goes straight from March 31st to April 2nd. No one fools Chuck Norris.

[old mark]

22. "Take the country back"? Where did it go?

Last I looked, it was right here....
and Obama was President, with huge numbers of Americans supporting him.

Chuck, you should stick to acting.
Or whatever it is you really do.....

mark

[BoneDaddy]

23. Chuck Norris...the MOST overrated martial artist

in the the history of martial arts.

[rolltideroll]

25. He got his ass kicked by Bruce Lee

Still not as embarrassing as Stephen Segal losing a real life fight to a 65 year old man

[RamboLiberal]

29. In a movie

I'd have loved to see them go at it in real life. Norris was a legit martial artist. Lee never took his skill to the ring. I really can't say who would've won. Oh and having studied Tang Soo Do under a Korean master who was one of Norris instructors in Korea I can tell you tournament fights back then weren't playing paddy-cake. Protective equipment was almost non-existent. It was bare knuckle and bare foot mostly with more than light contact.

Chuck Norris's fight career lasted from 1964-1974. Norris started off by losing his first three tournaments but, by 1966, he was almost unbeatable. Among the numerous titles he won were The National Karate Championships (1966), All-Star Championships (1966), World Middleweight Karate Championship (1967), All-American Karate Championship (1967), Internationals (1968), World Professional Middleweight Karate Championship (defeating Louis Delgado on 24 November 1968), All-American Championship (1968), National Tournament of Champions (1968), American Tang Soo Championship, and the North American Karate Championship. Norris compiled a fight record of 65-5 with wins over champions Joe Lewis, Skipper Mullins, Arnold Urquidez, Ronald L. Marchini, Victor Moore, Louis Delgado, and Steve Sanders. Of the five men to beat Norris, three were Allen Steen, Joe Lewis, and Norris's last career defeat to Louis Delgado in 1968. Norris retired as undefeated Professional Full-Contact Middleweight Champion in 1974.

[rolltideroll]

31. Your right

I did not know that about Chuck.

[lazer47]

33. If he was undefeated, how did he loose his first 3 fights..

[RamboLiberal]

34. Undefeated defending his Middleweight title

On November 24, 1968, he avenged his defeat to Delgado and by doing so won the Professional Middleweight Karate champion (non-contact) title, which he held for six consecutive years

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Norris

Oh and when they say non-contact - Hah. I was never at Norris level but I sure fought in "non-contact" matches - Non-contact my butt - I took the broken nose and some nasty bruises out of those rings. 60's/70's karate tournament fighting was no MMA bouts but they weren't paddy-cake either.

[NavyDavy]

53. stop it we get it....you like CN but he still a jackass and I know plenty

of artial artist that could probably take him....and if your a real martial artist its not about the fight its about the spiritual discovery, that is why not many westerners become true Masters of the Art.....

[WeDidIt]

56. Lee broke both of Norris' arms

and Lee was holding back.

Lee was a true master.

Norris was a ring hack.

[RamboLiberal]

32. Go look up his records - as a MA he proved his mettle

You don't have a clue what the hell your talking about. I studied MA's the decade after Norris and saw films of some of his fights. He could kick butt against the best of the day.

[lazer47]

36. You are lingering very close to RW Hero Worship,,

Korean Martial Arts==== Tae Kwon Do,,Taught to all Korean Military, and KATUSAs.

[RamboLiberal]

39. Korean martial arts are more than Tae Kwon Do

Go look up Tang Soo Do, Hwrang Do, Kuk Sool Wan, etc. And this was in the late 50's early 60's when Korea was less than 10 years from the Korean War and less than 15 years from Japanese occupation.

What's your MA bonafides? Myself I have 27 years in Tang Soo Do.

I can say what an idiot Norris is with RW politics but I can still say the man was legit as a MA.

That is not hero worship!

IMHO Tae Kwon Do has watered down the martial arts of Korea. And I'm not saying Tang Soo Do is pure Korean. Not admitted by the Koreans but it owes much of its lineage to Okinawan/Japanese martial arts. But it was also effective and it was powerful in the hard martial arts category.

BTW - here's the man who was head instructor at Osan when Norris studied Tang Soo Do.

Grandmaster Jae C. Shin is the founder of the World Tang Soo Do Association, and is one of the leading figures of martial arts in the world today.

He was born in Korea in 1936, and began his long and distinguished career in martial arts at the age of twelve. During his childhood, an unknown monk initially inspired in him a strong desire to learn martial arts. Later, he joined Seoul Moo Duk Kwan central gym and began serious study under Grandmaster Hwang Kee, a founder of the Korean Moo Duk Kwan system.

By the time he was 1st Dan, he had already started his teaching career as an assistant instructor at the central gym. After that, he taught at Korean University, Seoul Central YMCA, various colleges, and many police and military institutions. His many years of teaching experience and his extreme dedication have added to his scientific and unique methods of teaching Tang Soo Do. His six fields of expertise include self-defense, forms, breaking, weapons, health care, and meditation. He has evolved these separate arts into one of the finest and most effective martial arts; The World Tang Soo Do system.

When he was recruited to the Korean Air Force in 1958, he had his first experience teaching American soldiers. After receiving his Master's degree in Political Science at Korea University, he came to the United States in order to extend his instruction of foreign students in 1968.

The year he came to the United States of America, Black Belt Magazine honored him for all time by devoting a full chapter to him in the book, "20th Century Warriors," putting him in the company of the most legendary martial arts figures ever. Grandmaster Shin, one of the most respected and well known masters in this century, is one of the few masters who has devoted his entire life to the traditional martial arts. In addition to insisting on disciplined, rigorous training and exacting techniques, he has always preached that the true value of martial arts training is in the application to everyday life. Teaching children is one of his favorite pastimes and he has become an expert in child development. His advice to his Black Belt instructors is good advice for teachers of all kinds, "When examining your abilities as an instructor, examine your young student's manners, attitudes, school reports and health conditions. Their improvements should mirror your own."

[lazer47]

41. 50s and 60s are you kidding me?? try the 9th Century A.D.,,,

As far as Japanese or Okinawan,, you don't really want to know what the Koreans think of those people,,I am not down playing what you know about MA, and not trying to get into an arguement and encourage you in your developement in MA,, I taught Hand to Hand for 2 yrs, to people who actually had to depend on it for their lives, not in a ring,,,Have a good day

[RamboLiberal]

42. I'm fully aware of what the Koreans think of the Japanese

And they love to say that all their martial arts are native to Korea but then Tang Soo Do had Okinawan hyungs (katas). And I damn well know the lineage and history of the MA dating back to the A.D.

And my master instructor was an instructor in the Korean Tiger Division. The training back in the 70's with him was 2 1/2 hours of sweat, bruises and sometimes blood. You know that the ROK troops in Tiger, White Horse, etc are damn fine in hand to hand. And you know Korean instructors back then were no-nonsense!

I never had to prove myself in hand-to-hand thank goodness. But I trained like I might have to use it.

I can't go out and pick a damn fight to find out!

But defending Norris MA training and record is not hero worship! IMHO you are being a bit of a jerk in this thread!

[lazer47]

43. My Bad,,,that makes it easy.....

[Dr.Phool]

47. A friend of mine was a boxing trainer.

His 3 sons all fought in AAU fights, and a few pro fights. And he was a pretty good boxer in his own right.

We were in a bar one night, and a drunk asked him if he thought he could whip Rocky Marciano. My buddy told him, "You dig that motherfucker up, and I'll kick the shit out of him"!

:silly:

[Odin2005]

55. That is very interesting!

[MrPerson]

26. OMG THEY HAVE ME SURROUNDED!!!!! *farts*

[L0oniX]

35. He is absolutly one of the worst actors I have ever seen.

[LanternWaste]

37. It's popular and trendy to act the Martyr these days....

It's popular and quite trendy to act the Martyr these days, and it makes for great ad copy.

I imagine a few of these demographics may even believe they really are being oppressed allowing them to better justify those base and visceral emotions, hate, and anger-- which require little though but act as a wonderful catalyst to better divide us, which then validates an even greater sense of Martyrdom.

Circle of Strife or some such...

[conscious evolution]

44. So thats why the portajons at work

have armed guards today.

[leftofthedial]

46. I'd stay away from WalMart today then.

Of course, I stay away from WalMart every day.
