I hate these people so very, very much! Have any of them spent any time at all with these "kids"? Any 18 year old coming out of boot camp has more maturity, intelligence, and understanding of the world we live in his or her little finger than your average aging DUmb hippy has in its entire body. Even on the days where they don't hit the bong first thing in the morning. They smell better too...even after the crucible.

What I want to know is, who was POed enough at you to BS you?  Idiots.
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

 by joining the Guards or the Army so they can go to Iraq? I mean joining up so they can go to Iraq? Are they so naive to swallow everything that Bush and the neocons tell them? If Bush attacked Canada would they be lining up to save us from the evil Canucks? How can they see anything noble or just if furthering the tragedy in Iraq?

We're just crazy that way.  Now **** off.

I've given up on trying to explain it to these  :censored:
Liberalism Is The Philosophy Of The Stupid

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years.  The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

If it walks like a donkey and brays like a donkey and smells like a donkey - it's Cold Warrior.  - PoliCon



Palin has run a state, a town and a commercial fishing operation. Obama ain't run nothin' but his mouth. - Mark Steyn

Wouldn't surprise me if it was the nocturnally fowl one.  He has plenty of BS to spread around.   :whatever:
