    I agree that is a beautiful sight...

    but, you haven’t seen anything...

    if you have never seen an F-14 Tomcat go screaming by at full throttle!!

    The real star of “Top Gun” was the Tomcat, not the other tom...

    as a former squid, I have seen some wonderful things...

    an F-14 in after-burner and a battleship firing the 16’s.

    Both are something you actually feel in the gut.

    Well, to be fair, my six year old sometimes confuses his plus signs with minus signs, too...

    Beware, you may be raising a democrat!

    What is the saying...?

    If you aren't a liberal by age 20, you have no heart...

    and, if you aren't a conservative by age 40 you have no mind!!

    This Obama bastard is like the French...

    there is nothing he won’t agree to from our enemies...

    and nothing he won’t refuse from our allies!!

    The ironic thing is...

    if Obama does unleash amnesty upon us...

    the damage he has and continues to do to the economy...

    will mean fewer and fewer jobs for anyone...

    even the illegals!!

    Actually, I have seen reports of a stronger flow south than north at the USA/Mex border.

    Remember when Obama said passing the stimulus package would allow Catepillar to start re-hiring...

    but, it actually meant laying off thousands more?

    And now, he claimed health care reform will save money and create jobs...

    but Catepillar says, it will cost them at least 100 milion for this quarter alone!

    Does anyone else think Obama is not very good with numbers??

    And the sobs who voted for the bastard shit on it also.

    Look Sport, I love your passion...

    but go easy with the hate stuff...

    hate the ideas, not the people so much...

    that will just get you side-tracked and maybe into trouble.

    Remember, the country we are trying to save actually accepts those ideas...

    I guess we just never expected any Americans to really fall for it.

    You see, the ones who elected Obama and are waiting for a free ride, will be the first to go down in flames!!

    When he is done destroying the country there will be nothing left for anyone!!

    American patriots are rolling in their graves including my father who fought in World War II and in the Korean War.

    Ironically, most of the flags the lefties are burning were made in Korea!!

    How sick and sad is that?

    Our national ensign, with thirteen stripes to identify the original colonies...

    the white to represent the purity of the idea...

    and the red to display the blood we would spill to achieve it...

    joined with 50 stars rampant on a field of blue to show our unity.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Obama just pissed on all of that!!

    If I misunderstood, I am sorry.

    but, you did say the offer of a contract on your neighbors dog made you laugh.

    Maybe we both posted inaccurately.

    Ex...

    You might be surprised at what some of our fellow humans are capable of...?

    Here, in NYC we have ‘safe haven’ laws...

    you can leave an infant at a hopital, fire house or police station...

    with no questions asked.

    Yet, every so often a dead newborn is found in a garbage bag by an inquisitive dog just sniffing around for a place to pee!

    Not to make light, but here again an animal is subjected to an un-necessary hardship.

    Dogs know death and the scent of a human.

    I am not a big fan of the Chihuahua...

    but, I would never whack one.

    You should reconsider the BSA underline...

    I saw something online about wind-farms...

    this is not, repeat not, a fact...

    but, it said...

    wind farms generate more heat due to various frictions...

    then they could cool by generating electricity to power an A/C.

    Not to mention interrupting virgin airflow...

    ie..., a wind farm would do more harm than good.

    I am still hung up on the naming conventions.

    Pro-life = do not kill babies!

    Since pro-choice people only allow one choice, wouldn’t the better and truer name be...

    baby killers?

    Hey Kat,

    While spring is nice, it is in my nature as an Irishman to be contrary.

    I like foul weather, I always did...

    but, in the Navy I came to love it!

    I was a radar, navigation and communications type and occasionally it was required to go out on the weather deck to identify something or other...

    You see RADAR can only tell you something is there, not what the something might be.

    Not to sound like an ass but, it gave me a feeling of power and importance to stand out and face the storm...

    I am sure it is some macho bullshit I bought into, but I loved it then and I love it now.

    Plus, bad weather means fewer people around to ask stupid questions!!

    The MSM is being beaten by Cartoon Network, thus are increasingly irrelevant.

    Yes, but the deciding votes for Obama came from people who still watch the cartoon network.

    The 'kinder' were motivated, plus the guilty white vote pushed him over the top.

    Now, they are all being either abused or dis-abused by the reality of an Obama presidency...

    Although, I do agree the "drive-by media" is waning, I think it is due more to the aging of America...

    I mean by now the aptly named "Greatest Generation" must be mostly gone, considering if you were 20 when WWII ended you are now 85.

    Hell, even now "Baby Boomers" are retiring at the rate of 7,000 a day.

    Consider that figure for a second.

    7,000 a day adds $70,000,000 a year to the cost of social security... and that is $70,000,000 every day.

    and that is working with only a rock bottom payment of $10,000 each per year.

    The only good news is, the first thing a socialist government does is kill the people who know how they stole power.

    So, all the demonrats that screwed us will be the first to stand up against the wall and die from lead posioning!!

    We’ve had 15+ inches of new snow

    Hello very, very Kool Kat... I hate to tell you this, buy we hit 70 degrees today. Although, you can see where the s\plowed snow was piled up around the grounds... it looks like a series of terminal moraines scattered throughout the lots. I know, too much science channel... well anywho, hang in there... summer will come to Alaska too! And in return, you send us Sarah Palin to save the country... Actually, for me best case scenario is Gingrich/Palin or maybe Romney/Palin for 8 years... then Sarah and whoever for 8 more!!

    The North Koreans having a few nukes is like a man having a pistol and a few bullets...

    you must be very careful about what you intend to shoot at...

    considering we have many, many men with many, many machine guns and a sh!tload of bullets...

    on the down side, North Korea is like an EDP (emotionally disturbed person) and there is no doubt they will shoot something...

    just because they can!!

    Sort of the reason a dog climbs a mountain...

    because it is there!!
