I was there for what I’m talking about...note that I’m not talking about the jungle gramps. I’m talking about back here in the “real world”, as they called it, when the fellers that were bums before the war were bums after the war. There were lots of those types. And lots of them joined the military back in the day. They did so cuz it was a guarantee back then. Not so anymore. And that is a fact.
Did you ever serve in the military? I don’t think you did. With the garbage you posted you have pissed on the honorable men and women that served our great republic in uniform during the 60’s to the early 80’s. I enlisted in the Marine Corps during the early 80’s. 1984 to be exact, and during my 22 years of active service I served with nothing more than the finest people our country has ever produced. As a young Pvt thru LCpl I looked up to my SNCO’s, all of whom were Viet Nam veterans. They brought me up proper. Not one of them was anything like you described, and I will defend their honor for as long as I am still breathing.
Gramps?
kiss my butt, you’re what?
5-10 years younger than me?
you’re being a jerk on this forum and smearing good folks
maybe you ought to go say yer prayers and get some shuteye
You cut an past that post from a Jane Fonda Rant ?
Not true of the memories I have of same era. Served from 72 to 94 active duty and 6 after that is reserves.
Not what I observed or knew as a teen in the sixties or the following decades in the company of veterans from that war as I served my country.
My observations,experiences first hand.....not an opinion.
Not true at all......don’t let a few bad stories drive history.

Excellent analysis... socialism advances the fortunes of the political (ruling) elite and their supporters are too dumb, too out of tune, to know.

Matthew 18:8-9
If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.
The litany of secession:
If a state or states causes socialism, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for a Free Republic to go on maimed or crippled than to have all its states and together be thrown into the eternal fire of collectivism. And if the Federal Government causes you to sin; secede from it, peacefully hopefully but secede just the same.. It is better to govern as a sovereign state, smaller and diminished in power than to be thrown into the fire of centralized Federal usurpation
-- Jefferson Davis Pres. CSA
The “extremely intelligent” ones I know, even related to, can’t start a weed whacker, don’t know how to load a firearm, can’t figure out that when vacuuming you point the exhaust to the rear. Those are only 3 examples of their intelligence; there are myriad more highlighting no common sense whatsoever. Obviously, the people I speak of are not leaders of their movement, but they are influential liberals in their areas and are representative of the types the article describes.
Where the rubber hits the road progressives are sorely lacking in skills to ensure their survival in a national upheaval. As long as their currency maintains a backing they could hire someone to take care of them in the interim I suppose. You know, the faceless, worthless drudges they profess to care so much about.
>>There was a time when they were accurately referred to as overeducated shitheads. But no one seems to have the balls to call a spade a spade.<<
They are overeducated shitheads. There I said it.
“Pseudo-Intellectuals.”
Nah. Just a bunch of arrogant, psychotic, adolescent
empty-suit scu%bags.
IMHO
I was there ‘67-’93 and in a minor way he is semi-correct. We has MacNamara’s 100,000, a bunch of Cat IV”s mostly totally unsuited to military service. Some did ok but most got out and many became the bums they were on the way to being before being in service.
(for those who don’t know a Category IV is someone who is regarded as mentally Incapable of serving in the military.)
Thumbs up!!!
Personally I think its going to be all out war against Washington DC by the states that sign immigration laws and by Gulf Coast states that deny Obamacare, defy Obamas drilling moratorium and ignore federal lackadaisical oil cleanup policies.
You know...I’ve sat back here and atually read the rhetoric coming from you in this discussion, and I am so glad you have the right to express your opinion...You have been butting heads with the very folks who sacrificed to give you that freedom to do so...
We respect that right, but I and many others will dissagree with your statements because of its listless disparagy and lack of any respect for the gift you have been given to live in this country...
I can only assume you were at one time willing to serve our country, and you were turned away, that created a bitterness and a chip on your shoulder that is apparent with your commentary so far...And that would be a shame if it is true...
If it is not the case, then I would suggest you dissengage from this thread and respect the forum and those participating in it...
And that right there is a fact...I really hope you do take a break from this thread...
Buffet is an idiot about anything outside the financial world and Gates is and awkward high school kid who has the ability (all though it is beyond my why) to be at the right place at the right time to profit. Gates pretty much just worked until he got married. Socially awkward.
Precisely
I remember that you live here. A while back I wrote to you thanking you for posting an article of mine. I told you I live in Gulfport. That’s why I mentioned the tropical wave and the GFDL Hurricane model.
