"This IS a good thing to send to any liberal friends you might have... "

HEY NOW! What are you trying to say :-)

I consider anyone whose very first post is a link to a Islamic terrorist jihad propaganda website as a troll, I didn't realize that some of us were not getting the same web page. The typical silly chanting in the background by hysterical members of the Religion of Peace calling for the murder of innocence in the name of their false religion, was the reason for me to call for the Viking Kitties to clean up Isle 13 :-)

BTW........ From your tag line I see you're a VET, Thanks for your service my friend, God Bless You,

Mike

lets see: Some (not, unfortunately, many) liberals are educable. There are a number of former & recovering liberals posting of FR, inclusive of myself.

Anything that can educate those folks is good.

I was, apparently, getting the same page, but didn't notice the scroll bar on the LEFT side of the screen. Arabic is, if I remember correctly, read right to left, like Hebrew. (Ain't that gonna P.O. some folks who haven't thought about it?) I do not read Arabic, but I'm semi-familiar with it, as I spent 7+ months there (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia), 14 August 1990-25 March 1991. Left Shaw AFB on my 7th wedding anniversary, just to make it quite memorable.

I've also lived in Turkey (3 years, total, 2 trips) and am losing my very little Turkish for lack of practice. I do not have a problem with Muslims. I have a severe problem with what someone else called Islamofacists. I've adopted that term for them, because they aren't Muslims. We Christians and Jews have similar writings in our scriptures, as some of the more hateful stuff in the Koran, but our scriptures are organized in a more or less chronological order, so it is easier to tell what things apply to what periods of time, and what events were happening then. The Muslims have their scriptures organized by length, which fouls that up beyond belief. I don't see the need to call for the Viking Kitties for trolls. Zot 'em and be done with it. I like the Kitties for their own wonderful selves, though. I have them downloaded on every computer in the house I can get to the network.

As far as my service, I needed a job, and they offered one. (I had family members betting cash I wouldn't make it through basic.) I found I liked it, the structure, the camaderie, the work, the sense of belonging. I stayed 24 years, I liked it so much. Would have stayed forever if they'd let me. I've been out 6 years now, and now wish I'd quit at 20, but that is only because I've found that I make a good teacher, and I want to do that, full-time, now. I've got about a year and a half or so to go, and then I will teach history, and if I can get enough math and science credits, I'll teach them, too. If I'd gotten out at 20, I'd be done with the degree now, and in the classroom already. I can already tell that there is a GREAT need for conservative male teachers out in the world. Military experience a plus! I figure I'll retire from that when they drag my cold dead hands from the lectern... ;)
