US Navy VietVet '68-'69. Gunboats. And I never grounded my boat to chase wounded VC either. Did the whole year, too. Did I mention that I was a Vietnam vet? I ride motorcycles too. Did I mention that I was a Vietnam vet? I can't stand RINOS. Did I mention that I was a Vietnam vet? Never machinegunned any mama-sans or ARVN troops. Never killed livestock or consorted with Genghis Khan either. Did I mention I was a Vietnam Vet? No purple hearts though. Sorry.

As far as McCain goes, leave his military record and POW history out of it. If you have issues with McCain, fine. I can't stand him either. However only other POWs have the right take him up on this issue. All armchair warriors who've never even served in the military, much less been a POW can STFU about it.

Biker ping member. currently I have 4 bikes:

2000 ZRX1100
1980 GL1100
1980 DR400
1978 IT175.

I have been riding for 45 years and have ridden everything from 1950s BSAs and AJS to modern sportbikes, HDs, Ducks, my own home built chopper... you name it. I have enjoyed the living shyt out of anything and everything with two wheels and a motor. So leave me alone with the HD bashing or Metric bashing if you are of such a mind. You only expose your ignorance.

OBAMA: “To avoid being mistaken for such a sellout I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students, the foreign students, the Chicanos, the Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk rock performance poets. When we ground out our cigarettes on the hallway carpet or set our stereos so loud that the walls began to shake, we were resisting bourgeois society’s stifling constraints. We weren’t indifferent or careless or insecure, we were alienated.”

Truly these college educated idiots live in an irony free zone. While sitting in college with their every need paid for by SOMEONE ELSE they attack and criticize the very society that gave these narcissistic looters a free ride. Losers who never did a single valuable thing in their lives, living off their parents’ nickel and middle-class taxpayer funded scholarships, whining about how terrible the nation is. Spoiled rotten subhuman waste. Lord how I hate them. Snivelling cowards and draft dodgers.

“Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion—when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing—when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors—when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you—when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice—you may know that your society is doomed. Money is so noble a medium that is does not compete with guns and it does not make terms with brutality. It will not permit a country to survive as half-property, half-loot.” –Ayn Rand
