Ill only reply once to you....
You sound like some taughty elitist fem - I am sure you have never gotten your hands dirty or know the meaning of a dollar. Now for the rest of your diatribe...it somehow sounded like this when I read ...blah blah blah blah....
While I’m glad you’ll only reply once, I’ll point out that my grandfather didn’t shed his blood on foreign soil so that ignorant blowhards like you could compare every ideological opponent to nazis. Perhaps I’m elite because I prefer to communicate like an adult. But I put myself through college, worked a 60 hour week at three jobs ON TOP of a full course load so that I could afford my room/board/tuition. Dirty hands? I have stains from 1993 that have yet to wash away. Don’t hate me because I made something of my life.
Learn to read, learn to think, and not only will our side of the fence regain some credibility, but those blah blah blah’s that you see now will actually turn into words! Because I’ll tell you, you don’t actually have to hit those halfwit librul sites to realize how the things you say make people think all of us are idiots. Those $%%#&@# nazis took the lives of my family and my countrymen, and you dishonor them every time you trivialize what they fought for as you spew idiotic comparisons.
IIRC most of the southern states are right to work. Even if Honda, Nissan etc have to recognize the UAW in their plants, I don’t think the individual worker has to join.
MI and Ohio are closed shop. Want to work? Gotta join the UAW.
Ill make an exception - damn good post back, seriously. I was wondering if you had some fire in the belly and you proved to me that you did. You sound like a real fighter and that is what we are going to need to win against these elitist liberals.
That said I reread your post and believe that you have some good points, I will try to keep my rhetoric more objective. Glad your on here Esqulax.
Thanks! I think we can all agree that if 0bama is lucky enough to get sworn in, it will be our job to see to it that it’s one term. And we can stop the bleeding in two years if we get to work now!
Your Dad was as lucky as I was to fly in the A-20 -- the greatest little bird in the US Army Air Force. I truly loved that rugged bird; and almost felt like crying when they took them from us and substituted the A26 in October 1844. We were the first Group in Europe to fly them into combat in November. And, we learned to love those bigger beasts, too.
What group did your Dad fly with? I was in the 668th Squadron, 416th Bomb Group (Light) in Europe (England and France). Managed to get in 40 missions before the war ended.
By the way -- there was no tail gun position in the A-20. What was sometimes erooneously referred to a such, was the lower gun position, with a single, flexible 50 calibre maching gun which the gunner swung out and fired through an open hatch in the deck, just aft of the upper turret (my position) and just below forward base of the rudder.
Here is a web site with many pictures of some of the men and planes of the group, some of who I knew -- fine men and fine airplanes. It was an honor to serve with them.

Hope you enjoy.
To pinpoint your Dad's position, look at the side view of the A20 -- his poosition would have been located between the Air Force star insignias on the sides of the plane.
Your post, using the past tense, shows me that your Dad has passed on -- may he rest in peace -- he's in a lot of good company now.
God Bless you and yours.

You might think that but you'd be wrong. Democrats are known for dying hard and stupid.
Maybe we should study the tactics of AlQaeda and form cells with secure means of communication.
If current trends continue I'd say the Internet has about two more years of life as we know it today.
I haven't seen or heard a peep out of any republican on any subject other than McCain telling us how much he looks forward to working (for)with OBomba. It is obvious that the GOP, as presently constituted, is dead.
Except Honda Toyota and Nissan can close up shop and pull out, re-open in Mexico or Taiwan or India or wherever. Still, your observation probably fits well with the static thinking of the union thugs, used to GM and F standing there like wooden Indians and letting themselves get hit.
Liberalism is the politics of denial. That's why they never learn from experience. Every sh*thole south of our border on the American continent has tried this BS at one time or another and every one has gone down the tube economically.
But like genital warts, leftists keep coming back around at the most inconvenient times.
Liberals also need a villain, and if there isn’t one, they’ll make one up.
