There was a time in America when a good beating went a long ways towards correcting rude societal behavior.

This (censored) sounds like a Minneapolis resident. And Minneapolis residents are really no different from San Fransico residents.

I'm not a traveler, more of a homebody. But Taos is one place I would love to go on vacation...

With plenty of $$$ in my wallet and plenty of room in the back of my van to bring home new looms/spinning wheels/hand woven rugs and other art work.

The chance of running into Rummy would be icing on the cake. :-D

Running into jerks like this would spoil the whole trip and make me rethink staying home and puttering in the yard....

Old Jeff is a legend in his own delusional mind. The women were probably Rummy's granddaughters, just responding genetically to threats against the family. LOL

He was the best we ever had. I see our efforts in the ME paying off.

Rummy was a 'military' man, and in his area of responsibility was extraordinarily successful.

Now the game has changed. Instead of facing an army, we are now facing anarchist gangs. New mission, new expertise needs to be developed, and hopefully Petreaus has the answers.

Thank you Rummy, good luck Petreaus.

That means you are content and like where you are. I'd like to get some traveling out of my system (see friends and family) and then settle down in idyllic surroundings... I had it with the city long ago. I'm actually more the homebody also.

Conant is a liar. This little encounter with Sec Rumsfeld occurred only in his mind.

Yes, there are a quite a few moonbats in Taos but they're outnumbered by far more "conservative" democrats (and some stealth Republicans). The moonbats just tend to shriek louder and throw more colorful hissy fits.

I ran into Conant at the "peace protest" on the 17th. He told his story to a whopping audience of about 100 people (half of them curious tourists) and then strutted around the plaza for an hour or so. I went up to him, looked down (the guy is about 5ft) and told him he had quite the active imagination. He frowned at me and looked at his feet. He never said a word.

The moonbats here love to hate Sec Rumsfeld but even his occasional presence here isn't enough to stir up support for their cause. Several years ago they managed to gather several hundred people to march to his farm and "arrest" him. Of course, he wasn't in town, nor has he ever been in residence when they protest outside his empty houses. The "mob" crossed over his fence and started throwing kids clothes around. One guy tried to rip down his American flag but was flattened by a 6ft6in State Police officer. Every year since then the protests have gotten smaller. This year's was a complete joke. Conant, a washed up poet, some chick with a half shaved head and green hair singing some song no one was interested in and the resident code pinkos with their crappy puppets took the stage to whine about depleted Uranium. It was a total bust and even the local rag didn't have much to say about it. Local interest in the bash Rumsfeld movement is very low. Most of the people who are offended by his presence are not natives and haven't been in the county as long as Sec Rumsfeld. Their presence here doesn't contribute a hell of a lot in the way of revenue. They're getting very close to pushing the rest of us too far.

That figures.

Most kook lefties are liars and cowards in my opinion.

They like to talk and boast but when it comes down to it they run like chickens when confronted.
