You must be suffering from Progressivitis for you to 1) hide behind that Independent cloak, and 2) you have smoked yourself retarded.

You have got to be f****ing sh***ing me? Is this a result of Common Core education, born this way or you just somebody who has nothing better to do than come up with rubbish like this? Get a better hobby. :evil: :evil: :evil:

Cool Breeze this question does not apply to you....I'm putting in my blunt, frank and rough speaking self to the other person.

He [Rush Limbaugh] noted that polls will likely come out that will show if Trump was damaged by his words, but the Republicans don't want to be seen as mean people.

"The conventional wisdom is...everybody is outraged the fact that he doesn't have a lot of public humility, that he's a mean guy," said Limbaugh. Meanwhile, McCain has "called tea party people hobbits, crazies."

And, he pointed out that Trump was not the first to question McCain's war service, but when attacks come from the left, "they're warranted because they're nice people, compassionate people."

Unlike others, "Trump is not following the rule that targets are supposed to follow," said Limbaugh. "Targets are supposed to immediately grovel, apologize, say 'I have the utmost respect for Sen. McCain' and everybody cheers because the the target has seen the light. [That] usually means another Republican has been taken out."

"There is an arrogant presumption that the majority of the American people are as outraged as the media," he concluded.

Trump: 'I Will Say What I Want to Say'

I want to say this.....I am not a person to sugar coat anything to anybody, it's an Achilles Heel of mine, but so what? I am retired military and a Disabled Vet, and yes, just hearing the Donald's remarks at first from a quickie headline did make steam come out of my ears. Look, I made be rough on the edges, but let me read AND view all this in context. I firmly believe Donald Trump put it in his wry and dry sense of humor. As a registered Republican (want to see my card, I have one) he is still my first choice. Sorry to all the others with an (R) behind their name, but this country to put as one hero of mine, General George Scott Patton, needs a "swift kick in the pants." For two election cycles, I was astounded that the majority of voters acted like the animated Minions and voted for our closet Muslim, Chief Executive Occupant who only wants to fulfill his and the Mrs.'s agendas and nothing else. At least he couldn't pull a fast one like Adolph Hitler did and come up with some stupid exemption clause that our Constitution does not have and our checks and balances so far has precluded that idea.

As a result, we have a huge, bloated, inefficient, and self serving executive level bureaucracy that stomps on the very people to whom they are accountable, the citizensof the United States of America.

Let's encourage other to get a bit of thicker skin. Trump would be far better than the career politicians.

People who want the truth and not the cover up for Obama spin on MSNBC, CNN, and the Huffington Post among others. More people watch the SOTU show on FOX News thah MSNBC and CNN combined. You are out of the mainstream of America.[/quote]

Fair and Balanced--Fox News

SOTU 2014. His Effing Majesty, Barrack Husein Obama I, made his fifth speech trying to rally the citizens and successfully started making himself a cult of personality. So, he wants to sidestep Congress and rule the nation by his pen? Really? Rep. Stockman had better quit talking and files those damned Articles of Impeachment.

No, I am not happy with the government as it stands now; and I am not the only one. According to a Jan. 5-8 Gallup poll, the government, at 21%, leads the list of what Americans consider the most important problem facing the country. All other issues stem from the government, in my opinion.

Something has GOT to give; I'll be damned if I am going to goose step, and obey a damned supreme leader.

Sadly, it is the principled and the professional in any endeavor that get the raw deals. Seemingly, a lot of people can't handle the truth.

Votenoobama,

In person, I am very non PC, too. It is the main reason I didn't get promoted to E7 in the Navy. In fact, I come off as a scary old asshole because I am so blunt and frank.

I agree with you 100% and thanks.

Alex,

See, that is how business votes; they keep going where the revenue will come in. Customers=revenue. Customers vote with their feet and their wallets.

Yes, the ball is in A&E's court.

Si is also USAF (Ret.) He has alluded to that in a couple of episodes.

I am USN (Ret), am originally from Louisiana, but farther south, where there are bilingual (French) people; I was one of those, too. Yes, calling the Robertsons "Country" is indeed a compliment. "Duck Dynasty" is a rare show on TV these days that entire family can watch.
:-D

oldroy,

Thanks for your contribution as a teacher, and lucky you, you got to be an actual teacher. Also, thank you for your encouragement you bestowed to me.

I graduated high school in 1977 from a rural school. So yes, I joking admitted to my classmates while earning my recently conferred Bachelor's degree, my word processor then was a manual Royal typewriter, a dictionary, a thesaurus, a Harcourt-Brace writing handbook (6th or 7th edition), lots of correction tape and my brain. Research was put on 3X5 index cards. I actually knew how to use a slide rule and learned it before I was allowed to use my scientific calculator. I went through reams of scratch paper for any given math class, and even for my Calculus I class when I was working on my Associate's degree. I find myself still doing that in my line of work; it scares the younger folks when they see that :lol:.

I admit I was ranting. Having read an article from the Heritage Foundation where a school district in GA, I think, state that the teachers there are to teach the Common Core curricula verbatim. One the other hand, there are far more school districts that, having to swallow the bitter Common Core curriculum, are allowing teachers teach, so long as the standards are met.

From my previous research for my composition class recently, Common Core will result largely in lowering skills by two grade levels, since each student will have to discuss how he or she reached their conclusions to get the correct answers. It will not be enough to say "because it is the way it is and always has been." Wow, that would drive me crazy :!:

Again, thank you for the kudos and agreeing with the main point I was making.

Thanks Big Mike. Antecdotically, my wife was on the phone with one of our Senators, namely Mark Udall (D-CO), as he was in his Washington Office. She was ranting about the push for Federal Gun Control laws (she and I are both anti gun control, BTW) and also on the subject of immigration. Somehow she asked the question, directly to him, "Isn't Atheism a religion?" He hemmed and hawed and replied back with the standard canned political response, "I'll have to look into that."

So Big Mike, you are 100% on target :thumbup: when you say that most people have not figured out that it is indeed, a religion. :!: 8-)

As a matter of fact, homosexuality is considered a capital offense not only in the Qu'ran and in Islam under Sharia law, but in the Old Testament, common in the Torah, the Book of Leviticus outlined what is referred to as Mosaic Law, that homosexuality is a sin and calls for death as the punishment.

Here is the sticking point I think that got under GLAAD's skin. As I said, Phil Robertson told the truth and I myself can cite three references from the Bible, two of those are common in the Torah, and even two in the Qu'ran......
Homosexuals are indeed lumped into the same class as alcoholics, whoremongers, drug addicts, lepers and prostitutes. So, being the so P.C. social conservative curmudgeon that I am, "Repast and nourish yourself on feces!" ;-)

I had this conversation with my coworker this morning, before the boss came in; it is our usual routine. We agree that the Liberal Nazi Democrats have done this for so long, and the sheep followed along blindly that they couldn't see the eventual ruin that is happening. I for one am a black sheep and I'll be damned that America falls asunder because of the urban dwelling, snobby and snotty nosed progressives and liberals want their cultish and elitist society. If you look really, really hard and think as you observe, it is the funniest sight to see the liberals conduct their dogfights before they come up with the next stupid ideal they'll cram down our regular people throats.

Cold Iron: join me and "To Arms" :!: :thumbup: It's coming, my friend.

Well, isn't Atheism a religion? If so, then why are we bombarded by their beliefs?
