Newbie here.
« on: May 12, 2009, 10:23:56 AM »
Hi, all, I am new to the forum, logged on the first time today.  I am a political conservative and was attracted to the forum because of it's name. 

Hope to engage other conservative's in political discourse, but am not above a little good natured ribbing. 

Might take me a while to learn to use the forum, but will post when I do. 

 :-) :-) :-)

Welcome and please join in.  We have a lot of good people here.  Sometimes we are a rowdy bunch. 

It helps to have a terrific sense of humor.   :innocent:

Welcome! I'm glad you got logged in okay.

We're a fun bunch and typically don't get too rowdy :-)

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

I was in the USAF during the Vietnam war, and then spent 6 years in the Air National Guard.

Sorry for the late reply.[color]

If we had won the Veitnam war we wouldn't be in the trouble we're facing now. IMHO.
We thank you for your service.... :cheersmate:

WE WERE winning the Viet Nam war. Thanks to the progressives, we didn't exactly lose, but just sort of bowed out before we were finished. It almost happened again with OIF/OEF.
