I just found your posts...and I am VERY happy and really surprised by the news that Jolie is not a libbie! I guess I just assumed...and I must apologize! I wish the conservative celebrities were as activist and outspoken for the conservative (well, sort of) candidate as the lib ones are for the Marxist one!
Star...that clip of Jon Voight was great! :D I had a crush on him too! :D
Listening ... he’s great ......................... (thud ;)

Check out the ‘Midnight Conservative’ section above
about him in post #4.
Ping to #12, in case you missed it.

Thanks for the ping to your post. I appreciate the additional information. I think this is great.
It now up to the public to reinforce this by writing reasoned letters to let producers know we’re sick of seeing our nation, troops, and leaders trashed by the leftist media.
Some of us out here do love our nation, and do not see it as the pariah of nation states, that others do. Enough already.
If anyone ever has the opportunity, I HIGHLY recommend catching a performance of GS and the Lt Dan Band. They recently played at RAF Mildenhall, UK.

Where do you live?
We’re military so we move every 2-3 years. We’re currently in Las Vegas. One thing is for sure, I’ve never lived anywhere (and I’ve lived in 8 states and 1 foreign country) where customer service is so terrible. Way too many people here are not simply unfriendly, but intentionally confrontational. The latest example.....I’m going through McDonald’s a few weeks ago and ordered one happy meal for my daughter. When the lady through the speaker spoke, I struggled to make out what she was saying. I could see the one happy meal on the screen so just assumed everything was correct. I go to pay and was charged $10 something. So I very nicely pointed out that one happy meal couldn’t have been $10. A man (who I later find out was the assistant manager), comes to the window and says in the most snide tone “didn’t you think something might have been wrong when you were told what the total came to at the screen”. Still being nice, I said “I couldn’t make out what the lady was saying and I only saw one happy meal on the screen”. He then rolled his eyes and said “Okay”. So I told him I would be calling the manager and he said “fine, you do that”. So when I got home I called and raised hell with the manager and he promised me there would be disciplinary action.
And this is only one of many, many examples of customer service where they are actually going out of their way to be confrontational. I can only be pushed so far and then I let loose and lose my temper with people like that.
