I have a very large cat, he is no longer a he, but he/it enjoys his time outside. One day he went on a walk about and found a very very very...did I mention BIG, lizard. He was so very proud as he deposited it at my feet. I have never moved so quickly in my entire life....even when I was shot at while in the service!!!!!

One can no longer be sure! At times, I think that Glaucon is a male; but when the raging starts, I think perhaps a female. Perhaps a a cross g****r personality.

Meine tiefste Anerkennung! Ich stimme Ihnen zu, er jenseits ärgerlich. Sollten wir nicht mehr reagieren, um seine Dummheit?

I guess to him, that 49 percent of Americans on some sort of government assistance, and 35 percent that live solely on the support of the government, is not considered a welfare state.

I do not want to call him stupid but, should he ever get lost in thought he may never find his way out of unfamiliar territory.

This is a valid question. Most of the country has ties with Russia. But, the situation is much broader. Please follow this link, it can explain the situation in better terms than I.

You are very generous, thank you.

Wie immer, Sie sind sehr großzügig! I give it my best effort, and you are very kind.

I am not much into public chastising and ordinarily am quite amiable. And there's the rub; you have only opinions. Sadly, many of those opinions have no foundation; they are a collection of idealized dreams. You quickly criticize people who read and analyze information to come to conclusions. But, for you, what you hear on the television suffice for facts. Furthermore, you caterwaul about "rational exchange" when you can not maintain a civil tongue for more than an hour. Perhaps those that are more educated do appear to speak "pronouncements" that come across as more than opinion, this appears to upset your sensibilities. That is unfortunate, because if you took time to check the information; yes, that would require you to learn to read a book, then you might be on the same intellectual level and be able to converse and share your findings.

That means so much, especially when you can not even copy my name correctly.

recognized languages spoken in the US -- alphabetical order ...... and there is no longer a requirement to speak English. But, most of our signs are in "Mexican", which is different from Castilian Spanish.

If you do not think that threats being levied to Russia is not an indication of animosity the you are living in a Liberal dream world. When Russia thumbs her nose at the US time and again..... well, if that is not a signal....

You are most kind. Most of our citizens do not want to think about what has historically happened and they ignore the warnings. But, all nations fall at some point and they normally follow similar patterns. Most do not fall overnight, and I think if we adjust ourselves now that our Nation can recover. Thank you again for such a nice complement.

I agree, now that France, Germany, and England has stepped back and will not render aide to the Ukraine, and the fear of Nukes. We, the US, now has egg on our face once again. When will Obama stop and get advice before he jumps on bandwagon? Anyway, we are STILL involved in two wars, our finances will not support another. Before Russia fell, they knew they could defeat the US in war and they are prepared. Russia has approximately ten thousand to fifteen thousand antiballistic missiles in its defense system. Large numbers of these missiles have computer guidance systems that are programmed to hit specific targets in the United States. What if Russian antiballistic missiles come down like rain and nukes go off in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, Denver or Dallas?

Well, thank you. I had my doubts that anyone would read my comment because it is so long.

Thank you for the post. I doubt that any of the Liberals will agree, nor will they take time to do any research. They will just come back with their usual name calling. But, each thing that Bill speaks of is verifiable in history books. But, again that will not matter, for most Liberals a book is something that is put on a shelf to decorate their house.

I also enjoyed the squirrel....
