You lost your former self in Viet Nam. Now you are just a shell of that time when you were a better caricature. I guess you could blame it all on Agent Orange.

That was uncalled for. Absolutely over the line in my book. The man served, and fought honorably for this nation, and was wounded in battle. I have met this man, and shared meals with this man on multiple occasions, and, he is a good man.
Whatever your disagreement with him is politically, this is a line you do not cross.
I'm a fan of swapping insults all day long, but not this. It's wrong.

So, to what do you attribute his new lean to the left?

He is a good man, influenced by the dark side of the force!

Give me a break Archie. These guys crossed the line with the election steal, 2 impeachments, an attempted coup in 2016 and now the attempt to ruin our nation. Now that is what I call stepping over the line. And don't forget the red line ovommit drew in the sand in the Middle East and then everyone stepped over it.

Thanks for clearing up your use of the “We” comment……..I appreciate it!

However, you have often used the excuse that you didn’t agree with everything that the author stated in the anti-Trump article that you posted in order to avoid an actual discussion………..a discussion that you claim is the reason that you create a thread in the first place!

I’m assuming that you don’t agree with this statement made by you to Wolf….. “Too many have lost their sense of morality, religious convictions, principles, objectivity, all discernment, and sometimes even the ability to have a civil discussion” since you have ignored the questions concerning this statement!

Perhaps you should specify which points you agree or disagree with in order to have “a civil discussion!”

Yours and Archie's friend appreciates y'all's responses. Our political and ideological differences have yet to bring forth such dark, uncalled for comments into our discussions.

Thank you both.

Quite frankly, IMO, anyone who disputes the all-compassing statement quote from the article I posted simply hasn't been paying attention to the political atmosphere surrounding The Donald's words and actions.

Yet, as is your prerogative, you may disagree.

"New lean?" Since I joined this forum, depending upon the subject matter, I have leaned to all sides since my youth - to include time in 'Nam. As a result, I have generally caught criticism from both.

C'est la vie.

Even the chosen one went over to the dark side because of his emotions; that being hate for Trump in your case.

I responded in such a manner in an attempt to show appreciation for your healthy open mindedness. Listening or reading an opinion other than your own does not necessarily mean you agree with it. You openly exhibit that people can disagree without being disagreeable...and, not by being a big mouth.

For that, I laud/applaud both you & Arch.

To you, Arch, I thank you once again for stepping up to ones right to express an opinion that doesn't match your own. Our friendship has always withstood tests of when we don't see eye to eye.

Of course, being a Texan lends itself to 'manning up' to/in/for any situation.

I understand why you Vets want to stick together. However, the point is not when, where or how I served or if I was wounded. The point is that Slats has opted to support an anti-American, subversive party that wishes to take down the good old U S.A..for whom he fought and gave his heart to at one time. Now the dem party has morphed into a Communist leaning organization to whom no vet should be voting for.

Quote/The Big Kahuna: "Slats has opted to support an anti-American, subversive party that wishes try to take down the good old U.S.A."

As I do not support The Donald, you couldn't be more wrong.

FYI, I likely took part in disposing of more actual communists than most on OPP have.
