Lol! My husband (ex-Naval aviator) thought your comment was exceptionally witty! ;-)
Proof that homosexuality is biological (nature vs nurture) is the finding of a gay Gene....
In the 70s,I was an enlisted weatherman on an aircraft carrier,working just under the flight deck in “officer country” and I found that aviators were the only Navy officers worth a damn.
That was the same paragraph that jumped out at me.
Interesting observation. We know that Jimmy Carter was a Naval officer (of sorts) and he certainly was NOT an aviator.
We can also see that he is not a very logical, nor pragmatic thinker either. ;-/
(Actually, lately, I’ve been wondering if he has a brain tumor or some other medical condition affecting his thought processes.)
By the way, my husband served on The Bon Homme Richard (briefly as a midshipman) and then on the USS Constellation (as a pilot).
It stands to reason.
Navy aviators were advanced by merit and not by butt-kissing.
No room for under-achievers with a talent for brown-nosing in fields of combat—even in the Navy.
Regular Navy officers,in my day,were more politicians than warriors.Thank God the real important command positions,again in my day,were filled by former aviators.
Submariners like to brag that they are the Navy elite—Carter scuttled that premise big time.
McCain and GHW Bush were Navy aviators but they lost their way—plus they were both shot down.
Perhaps that had an effect.
I doubt that getting shot down was responsible for that. We had a super good friend who got shot down and was on the ground with a broken back as the Viet Cong were closing in. He describes himself in those days as a very “backslidden” Christian. He asked the Lord to help me get out of the situation and promised his life to Him if He did. To this day, NO one can explain how he suddenly felt surrounded by a physical warmth and then got up and walked out from under a tree to the waiting rescue helicopter under fire. Once in the helicopter, he could no longer move. After a lot of surgery and rehab, he’s OK now. He kept his promise and is a dedicated minister today who thinks rationally. ;-)
... and if those Queens don’t spend all Knight watching Pawn-ography, they feel Rooked?
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding"... Proverbs 3:5
Some bishop ay?? try reading your Bible there bishop Gene... What a moron!
“The texts I hold as sacred”
He doesn’t hold the Bible sacred or he wouldn’t be a practicing homo
Or likely any Americans. I wonder what he considers his sacred texts. Notice he never says.
... and I want all people to feel that this is their prayer.”
In the words of my teenage daughter.....EPIC FAIL. Him praying to a deity which know one knows anything about, about equals him reciting one of the rev. wrights sermons backwards. It's a meaningless waste of time.
I WILL NOT feel that this is my prayer, (sight unseen). Too bad mister, you lose.
It almost sounds as if he knows he's not a Christian, although I doubt he'll ever admit it out loud.
Why couldn’t Obama find an Islamic cleric who says eating pork is okay for Muslims?
