"Now you have stooped to denigrating one of the finest military institutions this country has and one that has produced Presidents"

Once again you fail comprehension 101. For someone who claims to be so smart, you have a problem comprehending basic English. I denigrated a person named Wesley Clark who happened to have graduated from that fine military institution. I never denigrated the institution. I used him as an example to prove just because you have a lot of education from distinguished institutions does not prove you are that smart. You are proving that with every post you make.

"You seem to enjoy insulting people who have actually achieved things in their lives. Why is that? Perhaps it is a reflection of your own failures?"

Again, you obviously cannot graps things. For instance, my moniker refers to being a Marine. I am a retired Marine who has served in a number of combat theaters and participated in real world situations such as humanitarian missions. So yeah, I feel I've accomplished a few things in my life. I also obviously have tremendous respect for the military and am involved in numerous veterans organizations and activities to benefit veterans. I just don't have to toot my horn about it like you have been doing this whole thread. Why? Because it's not about me or about you. It's about the opinion of instituting a no fly zone over Libya which I first expressed here a long time ago.

You don't even remember what you wrote, do you? You denigrated the fact that Wesley Clark holds a Masters Degree and the fact that he attended West Point, therefore you denigrate the institution. Personally, I doubt any higher learning institution played any part in the lunacy of Wesley Clark. He comes by that naturally.

I used him as an example to prove just because you have a lot of education from distinguished institutions does not prove you are that smart. You are proving that with every post you make.

I'm proving that you like to insult and denigrate others whom you do not begin to know rather than discuss the topic of the thread.

Thank you for your service.

I also obviously have tremendous respect for the military

Really? Running down a fine institution like West Point sure is a funny way to show it!

I just don't have to toot my horn about it like you have been doing this whole thread.

No, you've just called me stupid, ignorant, illogical, etc. when you know absolutely nothing about me or my achievements. That is why I mentioned my degrees, but they are only a small part of the equation. What I have done with this knowledge is what counts, but you know nothing of that, either. Perhaps if you would spend a little less time insulting people and a little more time trying to learn you would find posters here on Free Republic more amiable.

Why?

Damned good question. I have no idea why you feel the need to insult me or any other poster here on FR, but you seem to do it fairly regularly to other posters, too. You seem to thrive on it. You've gone out of your way to attempt to insult me in virtually every post, despite the fact that I have not once made any attempt to insult you. Reviewing your posts on other threads it seems to be a common reaction for you when you get yourself backed into a corner like you are now.

Because it's not about me or about you. It's about the opinion of instituting a no fly zone over Libya which I first expressed here a long time ago.

You're right. It's not about you or me. It never has been, but you've tried to make it about me, repeatedly, in virtually every post as you dodged question after question. You have yet to point to ANYTHING in the Constitution that would allow the United States to interfere in a civil war in a sovereign country. You claimed it was the preamble and I offered $1000 cash delivered to you on a silver platter if you could prove that the preamble was law, but you couldn't do it. You just keep talking about me instead.

We don't need Libya's oil. The American civilians are out. This is the same country who sponsored the bombing of Pan Am 103 taking 270 innocent lives and ultimately destroyed one of the oldest airlines in the USA. Assuming you have the Constitutional authority to do so do you really think this is worth one drop of American blood or one penny from our treasury to liberate Libya for a bunch of Muslims, most of whom would cut your throat ear to ear if given half a chance and then rejoice about it?
