    Goodbye "Don't ask. Don't tell."

    Post #39 lifts the veil on Mr G's self-loathing cynicism and disillusionment with Western culture, America and Christianity, in particular. An interesting study in the arrested development of an undisciplined mind. Much sound and fury, signifying nothing.

    as the noose tightens...

    You have a good point there, Moot. ( Hey folks, keep buying those new cars). I am reminded of my father's frugal ways. He raised six children, all college grads, on a coal miner's pay. He passed away recently, debt free and never owned a credit card. My dad would keep a car 15-20 years...

    as the noose tightens...

    wimpy... there won't be any Social Security funds when I retire in about 20-25 years. Most pension funds are on shaky ground now. Wages are declining as cost-of-living goes up. I largely hold our government, both parties, responsible. Of course, our addiction to consumerism and instant...

    Freight rates still going down as fuel costs spike upward. What's wrong with this picture? This industry is going to be placed on life support unless corrective action is taken soon. DNR. We need massive attrition. I am calling on 50% of all owner/operators to take early retirement...

    Obama At Odds With The ACLU

    Obama is in lockstep with the ACLU. Originally, he gave full support to releasing these photos. He had to be talked out of it by people of substance, such as Dick Cheney. Thanks for acknowledging the ACLU are left wing wackos. In matters of national security, I want to believe Obama will...

    Hundreds of prisoner mistreatment photos to be released

    Looks like Dick Cheney's argument for preventing release of these photos got the better of Obama. In a stunning reversal, today, President Obama announced he has changed his mind on this matter and will not allow the photos to be released after all. I am beginning to believe Obama will...

    Goodbye "Don't ask. Don't tell."

    OVM... you need to make up your mind rather than trying to have things both ways. You throw out slurs such as "homophobic support family" and "homophobic parents" when responding directly to me. Then, you insinuate my views equate to prejudice and bigotry because they differ from yours. You...

    Goodbye "Don't ask. Don't tell."

    Bravo Turtle. We now have your eloquence on this subject. This is the finest essay on the gay agenda I have seen in many years. Beware the vicious vitriol of the Left will attempt to shout you down. They will call you ugly names, like homophobe, rather than acknowledge the merit of your...

    Goodbye "Don't ask. Don't tell."

    OVM... the fact we have a different point of view doesn't require you to hurl personal insults. If it continues, you will not fare well.

    Goodbye "Don't ask. Don't tell."

    There are many, many fine ways to be a patriot. Many avenues of public service: teacher, fireman, policeman, just a plain taxpayer. Let me reiterate, what transpires in civilian life is not transferrable to military life. It is a vastly different existence. The US military has its own...

    Goodbye "Don't ask. Don't tell."

    Thanks for the kind words, OVM. Tell me about your military experience so we can find a common frame of reference.

    Goodbye "Don't ask. Don't tell."

    Turtle... I hear what you're saying. However, having served in the US Navy, I gotta tell you it will never work. For a multitude of reasons, this alternative lifestyle is too incendiary for integration in a military unit. The US military is not Obama's laboratory to correct perceived...

    Goodbye "Don't ask. Don't tell."

    If Obama gets his way, and he will, legislation will soon be crafted to end the decade old policy banning gays from openly serving in our nation's military. Should Obama succeed in this effort to force the homosexual agenda on our troops, it would not be surprising to see a mass exodus of...

    John Demjanjuk deported

    Why should there be a third, fourth, fifth trial for this man? The issue of double jeopardy comes to mind. The passage of time, in this case at least 64 years, leaves details murky and facts almost impossible to ascertain. It is all about publicity for attention seeking antagonists. Obama...

    Hundreds of prisoner mistreatment photos to be released

    Thanks to the ACLU's insistence, and the federal government's acquiescence, the Dept of Defense has been ordered to release hundreds more photos of prisoner mistreatment. Remember the Abu Ghraib debacle? What possible motive is served by releasing more damaging photos? Whose agenda is being...

    John Demjanjuk deported

    Doug... we can prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that American military personnel dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki resulting in the deliberate deaths of several hundred thousands of Japanese civilians. According to your logic, we should hang the pilots, navigators, air traffic...

    John Demjanjuk deported

    Shame on the US Dept of Justice for allowing Demjanjuk to be deported. Our government must have been under hellish pressure from powerful interests to yield. It makes no sense. Demjanjuk has been tried in court. And tried again. Each conviction overturned. Perhaps the Nazi hunters, being...

    John Demjanjuk deported

    Doug... there is no comparison to be made between Demjanjuk and Osama bin Laden. One was a soldier. The other was/is a terrorist. There is no moral equivalency between the two of them. Apples and oranges. The situation with bin Laden has no precedent. We do not yet know what fate awaits...
