I'm not complaining. I agree but Im gettin tired; since I was espousing my opinions on another thread which some folks will percieve that I'm too Conservative and stupid because I was raised in PA, met my wife as a college guy in CO, and raised our kids in NY. Most everyone thinks that New York people live in bombed out bunkers. We live in farm land, not too far from West Point Military Academy. Collin Powell graduated from West Point. The Left Coast have never bothered to considered that aside from the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO.

Anybody who makes the argument that Conservatives are stupid ain't playin' with a full deck, IMHO. Conservatism requires an intellectual discipline that emotion-based Lib'rals will never understand. As for yer being a NooYawkConservative, I feel yer pain...LOL!! How any State could be so lame as to elect the Socialist dimwit, HildaBeast, fer Senator is beyond my comprehension...New Yorkers ought to take a close look at how much they pay into the Federal Leviathan in exchange fer what they get back and GET A CLUE!! If NooYawkers think Socialized Medicine and Guv'ment-financed Daycare, etal, are such good ideas, why don't the Leftists set up their own State programs and quit trying to foist their Collectivist scams on the rest of America?! Y'all would at least get a lot better return on yer tax dollar that way.

Back when I was in the Regular Army out of all the hundreds of guys I got to know well it was the upstate New Yorkers and rural Pennsylvanians that I always seemed to get along with best. I had real good buddys from Oneonta (Jim Benjamin)and Rochester NY (Steve Noyes) and outside of Philly (Michael Gilligan) and Oceola Mills (Greg Turner) PA.
