A fellow AFROTC cadet that was in my Field Training flight was Geronimo T. Tolentino. Geronimo translates as "Jerome" His parents were Filipinos. He went by Gerry. But when little he thought Gerry was "Jerry" and used a pen to "tattoo" a "J" onto the web of his hand. But he made a great fire marshal for our flight though. I can still hear his "Unlace your Boots", at lights out. And when we had a fire drill, our flight was the first to clear our barracks and fall into formation, wearing those boots and our wool horse blanket. :)
Sort of like like my Mom's brother and his family called me Denny, which I hated, didn't even like Dennis much and don't use it.
But my Dad's sister and her family called me Joey. Didn't like it either.
in Amarillo?
I graduated from college near there.
I lived in Amarillo 3 different times during my life.
I know what type of weapons are built near Amarillo.
I can just hear the crowds response. If these idiots picked a place inside the US to try and provoke a fight over private gun ownership, Amarillo would be the epicenter.
(I saw this exchange on Twitter this morning, but did not realize it was in Amarillo)
I think this guy is about equal in intelligence to the idiot he’s supporting, neither is anything to write home about.
Agree. I know a lot of people who could/would quickly make him eat his BS words.
I don’t think they’ll need a lunch.
What are they going to use to disarm their enemies? Duh
I know you probably didn’t mean to, but you insulted all the conservative women in my family. We all shoot, we all are willing to give our lives for what we believe in and there are plenty more like us. I cant see any of us saying the words you said would come out of our mouths. We would be too busy making sure the guns were loaded and the ammo was close enough to get to. Most of us are good shots, and willing to shoot at any threat to our homes and family.
Maybe you should have used the word ‘many’ or even ‘some’ in your description of conservative women. Not all of us are like those you seem to know.
Hopefully, if Trump is able to save his political career, Cruz learns a BIG LESSON here and understands that one does not GO AFTER the top guy on the ticket, either directly, or through surrogates (as Cruz attempted), even if you happen not to like the particular person very much.
Thanks.
I’ll try to do better going forward.
I was delighted to hear of the conservative women in your family! God give us a million more. And I truly wish and hope that I am wrong about conservative women, and it certainly isn’t just women either.
There are a host of conservatives, men and women, who believe that they great calling is attacking other conservatives who do not vote for the “lesser of two evils” in the general election and “giving the seat to the Democrats.”
This type thread appears periodically on our forum. I usually interpret it as hyperbole. People are expressing strong feelings, but I do not see anyone ready to actually do what they say they would do. How do you see this actually happening?
What name do you like?
