First, I am not defending the actions of either side in a war that was fought nearly 150 years ago. Second, there are worse things than civil war. Acquiesence to a nanny state for starters. We may well be faced in the not-too-distant future between which side we will fight on, the social conservatives, or the amoral rabble. Before anymore reckless, immoral decisions, like Roe v Wade, are handed down by our courts I would rather shoulder a rifle in defense of our heritage even if it means killing fellow Americans in order to do so.

Anyone unwilling to die for their beliefs, most surely values only their own skin and such a one is not worthy to be called an American.

I enjoy Hee-Haw and am familiar with Minnie Pearl, but the name Jean Murray doesn't ring any bells.

As to being a dirty old man, in my younger days I was a wandering vagrant, but not anymore! I was rescued from my wanderings by the Lord and Savior of my life, Jesus Christ.

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Thank you, Judith Anne! Merry Christmas to you and your family, as well!

And a very happy and prosperous New Year!

Shows how out of touch I am.

Thanks, but you already wished me a Merry Christmas on your previous post.

Wish me a Happy New Year. And many happy returns.

I'm pleased to hear that you won't be watching any of Oliver Stone's tripe. That's one Stone down and one to go!

Merry Christmas to you and your aged mother-in-law.

Okey-dokey.

Thanks, JMC813.

Merry Christmas to your family, too!

Well, that's the case with a lot of people. I don't think the actor James Woods and the golfer Tiger Woods are related, but who knows?

Merry Christmas.

Sharon Stone may be related to Matt and Oliver, I don't know.

Probably not, but I'll bet she would like to know.

You'd better be wearing your track shoes.

I did enjoy your comment on another thread about married women who insist on having hyphenated names. And you're right, I'm not a homo.

there IS some humor in this... it is funny to watch, in a "look at the old dude walking down the street muttering to himself" kind of way.

I do mutter to myself. My wife hates it. My New Year's resolution will be to stop muttering.

Amen.

Their peace puppet work was paid for by a United Nations grant. And, since the U.S.A. contributes almost 25% of the U.N.'s annual budget, some of your tax dollars helped pay for this. Makes you feel warm all over, doesn't it?

Yeah okay, but I don't see the brutalized Christian minorities in China, India and throughout S.E. Asia reacting violently to their treatment. What does that tell you about Islam?

The only message this kind of tripe sends to our enemies is exactly what it sent during the Vietnam War. That the United States has citizens who lack the resolve to fight for what they want. Fortunately, it seems that at least during the start of this war, we have leadership who understands what it takes to secure freedom.
