“The question is: why are you even here if all the politics being discussed don’t even affect you?”
___________________________________________________
Because I am am an American going back to my great great great uncle, Uncle Sam, Troy, NY, war of 1812, and I have been a FReeper longer then you.
The fact that I am enjoying a new life in my retirement has nothing to do with love of country, but it IS far superior to what I would have back there, as there is no way that I could live there on my small social security.
Feel free to join the “dog in a manger club” They are a small group of sad kids that hate my guts because I am not there to share their pain in the Obamination.
Thanks to “Obamacare” people are NOW waking up and smelling the coffee for a change.
Oh, so I should shut up because I have less time in service than you (a whopping three and a half years); please elucidate how that makes my comment on you less valid.
No, your critics (that “small group of sad kids”) don’t hate your guts. We just think that you are not very intelligent. For example, anyone who would proclaim that he became a dad at age 65 could not have much on the ball.
And lastly, this comment, which reinforces the last one: “there is no way that I could live there on my small social security (sic).” Couldn’t make a lot of money or do much in the way of planning, I see.
