And yet, you said you had to leave and you still posted. Priorities don't run rampant with you, I take it.

I believe that Iraq and Afghanistan is just preparatory for the real war coming in 5-10 years. (chicoms) And, I too, believe it is money well spent.

Well then is "preparation" is sabotaging the future war. To date we’re scrapping a badly needed aircraft carrier, rolling back the construction of new navy ships, slashing the F-22 program, and cutting who knows what else in order to pay for this excursion into Iraq.

Ummm........I taught two classes and now I'm back.

Let's not be silly and make things up, OK? (Although the Stepford Wife thing was silly and made up, so why should I be surprised that you did it again?)

Check the times of my posts. There are more than five hours between them. Two college classes have been taught in the interim, thank you.

And yet somehow, your teaching and your mindless blathering on politics with no serious regard for real issues seem to meld perfectly. Go figure.

Right. I don't have a serious regard for any issue.

Actually, I don't care about anything important at all.

I'm SO thankful there are smart guys like you to help me see the error of my ways, Shadow.

You're my new hero! I'll try to start being serious about life now that you've called me on it.

(Forget about the fact that I'm a military Mom whose son spent over a year in Iraq. I never gave that a serious thought at all, NO siree bob! Just a flake....that's what I am! ROFLOL!)

I've probably thought more deeply in the past hour than you have in your entire lifetime.

DOubtful. The fact that you blindly follow without asking questions seriously calls into question your capacity for rational thought.

Now, I have actually discussed the issue on this thread with other adults here, so unless you have something intelligent to say to me regarding the issue itself,

Okay. Bush is a liberal. If a RAT president had proposed such an enormous amount of spending, conservatives would have screamed bloody murder. Now that it is "our guy" who resides at 1600, spending orgies are a-okay to folks like you.

I'm sorry, but I don't suffer fools well.

I'm going to use every ounce of self discipline I have and not tell you what I really think of you, other than repeating that you are completely ignorant of what I think and who I follow or don't follow.

As I have said before, I've discussed this issue rationally with other rational people. Since you are not one of them, I will waste no more time with you.

Blindly follow yourself somewhere........
