And I know others who survive here only because they can call for help. How many more times will you keep up the name-calling and blatant attempts? Don’t you see some of us are having a serious discussion. How about using Freepmail to get me banned instead of repeating the distractions on the thread directly.
LOL! Did I leave out code pink, Obama mole?
My point was that the extremists are all there is. Sure you know a guy who dresses up for work every day and he and his partner park their nice Volvo's in the driveway of their nicely landscaped house. But trust me, those guys also go to the parades and do all that sick stuff. There are very few "normal" ones. I used to work with several of them, and thought of one of them as a good friend for five years until it all went sour. Without exception these are a group of emotionally troubled people.
Re: Elk Grove. I know that neighborhood well. I am a parishioner at St. Joseph's. Traffic is still only 35 minutes in to the Capitol, so that beats anything from where I grew up in LA. Though we just moved from our home over near Waterman and Sheldon to a nice larger new place in Sloughhouse. Pondering asking JR to change me to SloughHouseDan - haven't decided yet.
That's odd, there are plenty of people here who don't seem to hate me at all.
All wars have a winner and a loser, so this is a moot point.
We? Oh you mean the two or three others who followed you over? LOL!
I take it you cannot prove your ascertion, therefore I see no reason to give any credit to your argument. Since we won all those wars, I draw the opposite conclusion.
I tried to engage you in a serious discussion and your argument flamed out early with no explanation or evidence.
I guess I didn't learn my lesson from previous attempts to engage you in adult conversation. Good-bye.
*******************
I have no idea to what you are referring, but I suppose that should come as no surprise.
I do find your apparent giddiness a bit odd, however.
My assertion has been discussed several times on this thread. I see no need to go through it again.
You state that homosexuals have been in ALL armies; well, some of those armies lost.
Do I think the United States will lose wars because of homosexuals? No, I don't. However, the fact that something might not destroy us does not mean that it's a good idea. Homosexuals make up less than 4% of the population, we simply don't need them in the military.
Best wishes in EG! The dems proposed $9 billion in CAL tax increases yesterday. See you on another thread.
*****************
No, it's your pro-homosexual philosophy we have difficulty grasping.
Yes, comprehending what you write is difficult. Your posts are riddled with grammatical errors and misspelled words.
“Don’t people have the right to make that choice?”
Yes, people have the right to chose to participate in homosexual behaviour. One consequence of making that choice is to be excluded from serving in the military.
“I don’t think the military should take a stance on anything that’s a choice,....”
Anything? How about drug usage? DUI’s? You really have no concept or understanding of anything regarding the military.
“I just can’t see why somebody’s sexual preference choice would exclude them from fulfilling their responsibility top their country. “
And since it is beyond your understanding, you think that a major policy change is warranted for all branches of the armed forces. You really should just sit back and enjoy the freedom that others are protecting for you and let those of us that did the work worry about how to treat homosexuals in the military.
“In fact, I think it discriminates against heterosexuals to say that only they can die for their country.”
If I chose to risk my life to protect my fellow American’s freedoms, then when the military accepts my voluntary choice they are not discriminating against me. I voluntarily put myself in that situation.
“It just seems like the current policy is idiotic. See a guy with a guy off-base and discharge the guy. That’s wasteful and unnecessary for my money.”
Again, you have no understanding about unit cohesion or esprit de corpse. I think you should concentrate on other wasteful government programs for your money. There are plenty in your own state that you can worry about.
Leave the heavy lifting to those that are out there carrying the weight of your freedom.
Best wishes!
I don’t hate you Wagglebee.

because trolls are called out publicly
it’s a long and honorable tradition
waiting for the zot
That would be me, and I've been asserting that for nigh onto 10 years on Free Republic.
Thank you for an excellent post, CSM.
