RETW Loc: Washington

No, I do not want to be a smart ass, but in your case I will make an all out effort. Thank you for using my past title. But really Sir, or Dr., or pontiff, or whoever you think you are in your own mind, it is not at all necessary. You claim. you are a retired military officer. That is in your favor, if it is to be believed. However, your self aggrandizing, to me, has brought that into focus. You also claim to be an educator. Oh how wonderful for you. A testament to you would be I presume, the knowledge level, of children in grade school, to collage and beyond. Let me see now, if memory serves, the United States schools rank about 23rd over all, around the globe. Did a real good job there ha? If I were you, I would not stand on that pinnacle to long. Have you even bothered to go out in the real world, and talk to some of these so called educated young people. Hell man, they can't even read on a 5th grade level, let alone collage. And a simple thing as making change, is dam near impossible for them. If it was not for the advent of the calculator, over 70 % of them would not have a job in a fast food restaurant. So please, don't tout your educational Prowers to me. The whole country has first hand knowledge of the accomplishment provided, and inflicted on our young people by educators. For this reason alone, and there are many, many more, you should be ashamed of your self. This country spends more money on education of it's young people, then any other in the entire world. An enormous amount of tax dollars goes to funding programs for young folks, that have nothing to do with the three Rs. The dollar has been shrinking for years now. And all the American people hear out of you educators is, we need more money. Just when is it you will provide more education, for the money spent. I am so s**k of hearing, it's for the children. Bull s**t I say to you. It's nothing but
bull s**t. Let me enlighten you on a very important fact. This forum, is not you classroom. And the folks here are not your students. We are adults all, coming together to exchange ideas, and different points of view. Some good, and some not so good. But each and every one here has the right to express his or her self any way they so desire. No one, has the right to belittle them as you have chosen to do. Now when I joined here, it was explained to me, there was to be no promoting of products of any kind. So I believe that should apply to you as well. Best take that book of yours to E bay or a retail outlet. A good dose of humility, and a swift kick in you ass is what you need. If any time you would like to clime down from that horse of yours, and join the rest of us uneducated folk, I will be happy to talk with you and perhaps we could find some common ground where by we can exchange ideas. As unlikely as that is, I will extend that courtesy to you.
How other people wish to relate to you, is up to them.
I gave to you, an open hand of welcome to this forum , and what I got in return, was an attempt to denigrate me by your use of the term Son, and your willful disregard of common courtesy. If what you have shone me, is your idea of an educator, it is no wonder our students are lacking in so many levels.

ANYONE who 'thinks' that the POTUS should be elected based on g****r, race, religious affiliation, etc., needs horsewhipping for lack of understanding.

May as well just v**e for the next individual who wears a yellow shirt, or size 9 shoes.

AuntiE Loc: 45th Least Free State

It is absolutely beyond me to not do this.

I have a yellow shirt, but only wear a size 8 shoe. I could buy some size 9 and stuff them to fit.

Me, me, me...then I could appointment some of my confederates here on the Plaza to posts in my administration. :idea:

Good to see you can type with your tongue-in-cheek, AuntiE.

The OP has suggested electing the most appropriate female based on the fact that it would make him 'feel good'.

Isn't that how we got into this MESS?

AuntiE Loc: 45th Least Free State

I can promise "change" :!:

patriot47

Loose change is all we have left - could you promise us otherwise?

Why did you leave out "hope"?

AuntiE Loc: 45th Least Free State

I have a very large jar of change which could add up to dollars. :-o

I left out "hope" as it is a personal matter. You must provide hope through your own thoughts.

Leave me be as I am drawing up my list of cabinet members. :lol: :mrgreen:

By the way, can the Joint Chiefs be fired and retired military be put in in their place? Hmmm, well Obama does as he wants, maybe in this instance I could use his example. :shock: :idea:

patriot47

Check out Oathkeepers for your Joint Chiefs. Follow NO recent POTUS as an example because they have all been power hungry wannabe royalty.

If our right to bear arms wasn't so important, it wouldn't be under such constant attack.

BTW - no firearm ever manufactured ever acted on its own.

AuntiE Loc: 45th Least Free State

What :shock: I can not believe it. Those inanimate objects did not go out and cause injury! :!: but....but..so many people tell me it is guns, especially the scary looking ones, who commit heinous acts.

I posted this poorly. Within your message, are some answers. Hopefully you will figure it all out.

RETW Loc: Washington

There is just something about you I like. By the way, my wife said you are a very smart lady. And I know she is a smart one also.

AuntiE Loc: 45th Least Free State

Thank you to you, as well as your wife.

Myself and banjojack are totally enamored of your avatar! :!: :!: We have mentioned it back and forth.

As the subject moved to the topic of guns and control thereof, the following is one of the best quotes relating to the matter. If it is one I have posted previously, forgive the repetitiveness.

"Firearms are second only to the Constitution in Importance; they are the people's liberty teeth." George Washington.

May you both be well.

patriot47

The first Ten Amendments (Bill of Rights) are the enumeration of God given rights that all men possess inherently. They exist above any government or ruling body.

The second is arguably the most important because it is the protection of all the others. That concept used to be taught in Civics class in school, when we actually had institutions of learning.

BTW - "shall not be infringed" includes taxed, regulated, recorded, restricted, etc.

BTW2 - DHS has declared sizable areas to be Constitution free zones. Google is your friend - look it up, see if you live in the USSA. I do, and they can kiss my ..........
