And don't feel so bad about your failed life that you feel the need to make your lame little age jokes to feel better.
We all know you're older than I, but still live with the folks and work at Taco Bell.
It's OK. Taco Bell is at least gainful employment. And I'm sure you even pay taxes and everything.
But hey....if I was in high school as a very tiny baby, I must be even smarter than I thought I was.
Now, hurry up with that Burrito Supreme. I don't have all night.
:-D
Ron Paul himself has explained his actions, and I have seen it posted here many times, so I am surprised that you still don't know what he said.
IMO, Ron Paul's explaination makes way more sense than whatever your Congressman is telling you. And without even a hint of any "hypocracy", too!
Since I suspect that your reason for asking is not genuine curosity, but rather merely a way to attempt further "bashing", I am not re-posting it here, because the Paul bashers either cannot read, or don't want to.
Just in case you really want to know, you can find it.
Hey, now I'm hurt! That used to be my title. (Head down, kicking at the dust)
Seriesly, Alegra, you are in fine humor today.
Back in Iraq? Or here to stay?
I got back to Iraq a couple of weeks ago. Vacation was wonderful (went to the UK) and it flew by at lightning speed.
Thanks for being one of the decent ones. :-)
Cafeteria food is radioactive slime.
It's Soylent Green. It's PEEEEEEOPLE!!
Saw him on O’Reilly and Ronnie P is one scary dude...apparently he’s never been asked the tough questions on national defense and O’Reilly to his credit did.
Liberaltarians must enjoy the sadomasochism that RP exudes.
"Vacation was wonderful (went to the UK)"
Mrs. Designer and I were there only two weeks ago!
Eldest son (former U.S. Marine, BTW) and his family moved to Stamford (East Midlands) in June. We had a wonderful time as well.
Wow, such strong language. You'd make Sgt. Snorkel from Beetle Bailey blush.
I seen the enemy.
It are us.
We zip-tied half a dozen banners over over-passes. One of the banners came partially loose. Before anyone could go to fix it — someone unknown to our MeetUp fixed it for us. :)
Yeah, those were the days fersure. Back when the Klintoon was in the WH FReepers were a little more independent-minded than today's crop of lackeys for their Republican administration (present company excluded, of course).
I posted several Claire Wolfe articles myself, along with some really radical columns by neo-anarchists like "Bumper" Hornberger, Dr. Walter E. Williams, Leonard Read and Milton Friedman. Well, at least some here these days would consider Milton Friedman an anarchist, since he did, after all, oppose many things the government was doing that it had no business doing. (But he did not opposed the Iraq War, even though he had reservations about its success. His wife, Rose, was against it from the git-go, however.)
Somehow, those posts weren't deleted by the moderators. And most had very favorable comments, even from a few folks we have encountered every so often on these Ron Paul threads.
So I wonder: Is everything really changed since 9/11/2001? Is black now white? Up down? On off? Freedom slavery? Conservative liberal?
If so, what is to become of "traditional conservatives" who practice and cherish American values of thrift, self-sufficiency, strong families and weak government? Are they now an endangered species, whose destiny is to submit to the very regimentation which they have worked long and hard -- throughout the Cold War -- to keep away from American shores?
When you hear "conservatives" promoting such intrusions as national ID cards, warrantless wiretaps, searches of library records (not to mention keeping Google searches around for weeks and months so government snoops can try to connect dots and dashes) -- all for the sake of "preventing another 9/11," it makes you begin to appreciate how far we've come in a short time.
Claire Wolfe will not cave for the sake of selling more books. She has her priorities straight, too, it appears. She supports Ron Paul, but not the Republican't Party, which had its chance and blew it after 1994 and is about to blow it, big time, for 2008.
I'm glad there are Republicans such as you willing to hang in there and go against the tide. However, we both know it's an uphill battle and the winners will write the history, just as they did in 1964 and again in 1972. 1972? That's right. Nixon won while his party lost, and conservatives were tossed out of leadership roles if they so much as used the term "Tricky Dick" within earshot of the PTB. Opposing Nixon was political suicide then, and I have a few dead (politically, at least) friends that could testify to that.
A reconstituted Republican Party, rising from the ashes of a defeat in 2008, could conceivably regain Congress in 2010, but only if the Democrats screw up more than the Republicans did in the past few sessions. And if the members of the RNC finally admit that a smaller federal government, limited by the Constitution, is really what we should be aiming for.
What are the chances?
Far better than the America-hating Truther scum deserve.
I have a different perspective as well. One that is not clouded by the deceptive and distorted media reports. One that is unfiltered.
Our troops deserve a hell of a lot better than the crap being spewed out to the people and willingly gobbled up by people who go on "feelings."
