Sarge, I went through and read the discussion that Dreamer had.  I firmly believe he was being sarcastic.  You know I wouldn't defend him if I had any inkling that he was serious.

24. How simpleminded of you.
 No, I don't care for McCain. What I do care for, however, is CONSISTENCY, even when the facts are SLIGHTLY INCONVENIENT.

As someone said upthread: if a life of military and political service isn't "real work," then there are some prominent Democrats who
fail that criteria as well. Some VERY prominent ones.

Working for the government is actual work. Like many jobs, it is possible to do it poorly. When done well, in proper service, it's a
noble career.

Now, then - tell me again where I worship McCain?



I think he's taking a shot at the DUmmies. Tatum may be a moonbat, but I don't think he's of the troop hatin' variety. I DO think the alert buttons are getting pummeled because of that post, though.

Possibly.  But I'm to the point after years of watching them slander and denigrate what you and I do that "benefit of the doubt" is not in my vocabulary when it comes to the Left or any of their internet facilitators. :cheersmate:

On re-reading the thread "Dreamer Tatum" does appear to be taking the piss out of the other DUmmies, so I'll give them a bit of slack. There's another one there that seems to be on to the scheme as well.

Even though I rarely go over there, I agree with you, Splash.  Sarge, I think that Tatum's trying to twist their tails, and some of the DUmb****s are too stupid to realize this.

So now you need to have had a real job to be qualified for President?

Ok I don't see that in the Constitution. Even if this were in there no one in their right minds would turn any company over to some little dweeb of an employee thats only had 134+ days working for the company now would they? The fact they want to put Obama in office with that amount of experiance in office and no prior experiance in any real kind of job makes you wonder just how stupid they really are.

I think what Dreamer Tatum was trying to accomplish is to defend soldiers from morons who think it isn't a real job, and in the process point out that there are people like, oh, johnforbeskerry who chose exactly the same career path.

99% of 'em couldn't do it in daylight, VFR conditions with the carrier safely tied up at Norfolk.  Why pile on the "you're ****ing useless" points by making it a night carrier landing?

Hell; most all of the DUers would shit themselves just sitting with their hands in their ****ing laps in the right seat, during a night carrier landing.  I think I would even volunteer to clean out the cockpit afterwards, just to watch that.  :lmao:
