AF vet, grease monkey, and...gasp...liberal!
« on: March 21, 2011, 02:15:17 AM »
Hey there. :)

I originally came over to respond to one of the threads in the DUmpster, but with the warm welcome I already got over there, I thought I'd stick around. :)

A little bit about me, I was in the USAF in the airborne cryptology field until the end of the last year when my term ended, currently living in Omaha until I move back home to Indiana.  Most of my spare time now goes toward working on my baby, a 2001 Ram.

Anyway...that's about it.  Thanks for having me. :cheersmate:

Being a vet is good around here, Semper Fi. You will find lots of like minds.

If you voted for Obama last time around don't worry about it. Lots of people did. Lots of them won't be going there again because of the sharp lurching turn he is trying to take this country in and the overwhelmng majority realizes this.

The left has their pet dramas but levelheadedness has seen this country through for all of its existence, through more trying times than we face today, it will persevere still, indefinitely, despite the ever present cat calls from the looney bin who offer no solutions and do not step up to man the fence.

Hello and welcome, even if you WERE Air Force, or as hubby puts it, Army Air Corps. :-)

BTW, both of my parents were AF veterans.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

As far as I'm concerned, you did your time in the service, you can vote to whomever the hell you want to and you won't hear a peep out of me.

Hey Cpl - I was AF - a 20810 (linguist) back in the Cold War days - I was mostly at Ft. Meade, but TDY'd all over the place.

Your liberalness will wear off.  :-)
