When most people get a flag tattoo it is an American flag, the likes of Djerkabitch, Demliar2016 and Rayloon prefer this particular tattoo where they spend the majority of their time......on their asses!

Fantastic Bruce, hope all is well with you and yours sir........brought out my big spoon today to stir the pot, please excuse my disrespect of your party.

Football is close brother, i can smell it in the air ( mostly see it on the HS practice fields) just as good....Good Times brother.

Don't worry about trashing the Democrats, I know your political position and I respect your views. Don't hold back on my account, it won't change our relationship at all. By the same token, some of your fellow Conservatives may elicit a similar reaction from me, at some point. Please know that I mean no disrespect towards you and other sane Conservatives. It is just that the real radical Right Wingers will occasionally push my buttons. I've calmed down considerably, as I have aged, and am more tolerant of their nonsense, but, as you know, occasionally I will respond to some of the more "loony" accusations some on the Right may make. I realize we're both passionate in our beliefs, it's not that I don't share many of the same Conservative beliefs, it is just how we achieve those goals that I often differ with Conservatives. Please believe one thing about me, just because I am a Liberal doesn't mean I don't love this country. And realize I believe in the Constitution 100%. You may not agree with my political beliefs, but you and I believe we are both acting in the best interests, of our country. I realize many on your side of the political spectrum can not see that, nor accept that, but I believe in what I preach as I am sure you believe in your principles, and I respect that. I also don't believe we are that far apart politically.

Now on a more serious note, I'm pretty excited about Michigan beginning their football season, I can't say as much for the Lions. Are you a Texas fan or a University of Buffalo (SUNYAB) fan? Or do you even care about college football? I don't get excited about High School football any more since my High School closed down in 1971. Besides we were more of a basketball school than a football school.

Agreed, you will never offend me when twisting of on one of my rightwing over the edge never to return compatriots, or you to me when messing with a leftwing liberal loony......If we lived close i think you would have me golfing, then i would have you yakking down the river punching gator snouts for the rush we will always be good brother, we worked that out long ago.

I am a Texas fan, more now than when i attended back in the 80s, never was into the U of B ? I do still go and catch some of my HS games, they are a powerhouse here in TX for the last 15 yrs...sucked when i went there, go figure. I try and catch the Michigan games when i can....as a true fan i love the teams with solid programs and follow them...Michigan, Penn, A& M, Bama, Ohio, ND.....long lasting solid programs, been a few wdded and lost over the yrs.. (SMU coff, coff) our HS teams have been taking the fields in prep........i can smell it in the air brother, i am ready! May upgrade to an 80" if the wife lets it happen...she doesn't really need that surgery...Ha!

Good Times Bruce,

Btw, there is a guy, from my home town, I know, somewhat, we weren't close friends, but I knew him well enough for him to tell me his story about playing football, for SMU. He played about the same time SMU bought Eric Dickerson and Craig James, (i.e. the "Pony Express"). He told me that someone approached him and said if he wanted to continue playing college football he needed to find another University, because SMU was about to receive the "Death Penalty", obviously he transferred.

Nice.....and the death penalty they did receive, took forever for them to start being competitive again......they were the scapegoats of college footbal, lesson learned

I have battled a few points, views and beliefs with you and to your credit you seem to stand more for "your" position than leftist "democrat /conservative " far right, embracing some of both parties.
My point is respect that you think for yourself , something lacking when debating 180 degree political views with many on this forum.

Thanks Bruce,
With that said......Go Trump vs Hillary

Weewillynobeerspilly Loc: North central Texas

Bruce is a good man, his points are always valid and worth thought.

Bruce Kennedy Loc: Kansas

Thank you jack, I appreciate the kind words. And I truly respect many of the Conservative views, especially on the economy.

jack sequim wa Loc: Blanchard, Idaho

Economy is my favorite subject from macro, micro, political , national and global.
Speaking of economy, the hairs are standing up on the back of my neck in relation to the global
economies. I suspect (predict ) which every candidate enters the Oval Office has little to no chance in improving America's economy regardless of policies, "best business practices " , jobs plan, tax plan, budget balancing, or trade deals. Other than social policies, supreme court appointments, economicly speaking I don't think either candidate has a chance.
This coming from an optimist, turning pessimistic.

Have a great day,
