[quote name='RED333' timestamp='1352678566' post='843978'] My vote did count, just not enough, Everyone is welcome, was proud to serve. Thanks to all my fellow VETS!!! [/quote] At least you got to vote.. Many who serve did not get the opportunity. That is deplorable.

[quote name='LINKS2K' timestamp='1352679942' post='843988'] I disagree. However, I do hear a lot of people say " I can't say this or that, because someone will call me a racist". I don't think that Obama or his administration are racist. Maybe the media or your peers make you feel that way. [/quote]Neither of those. I think we are having two different conversations here. Not racist. Didn'tsay that you accused me of being racist. Not accusing anyone else of being racist, but am saying that some people have been intentionally misled for political gain for years, and also that our current potus is a very devisive person, not the peacemaker that he or others make him out to be. I suppose I don't write clearly enough to convey my point...so consider it dropped.

Forgot to mention that - 0bama promised to be a post-racial President, but instead has been the MOST racial president. Everything with this guy and his administration and even with the Dems, not to mention the media, is about RACE. Anyone disagree? If so, what cave have you been living in?

[quote name='LINKS2K' timestamp='1352669836' post='843895'] Are you really going to blame Obama because you have given up on the state of Americas race relations? Secondly, i'm glad that you had that disclaimer, because your post sure read like a blanket statement. It occurred to me that someone had to tell those young people that foolishness about white people. If you go around sharing your none blanket statement views with impressionable minds we will continue on a merry go round of negative stereotypes based upon someone else's bitter feelings. [/quote] My point was, I case I forgot to mention it, was that these people have been conditioned for decades to act as victims. It is an uphill battle trying to educate people when the media and Dems continue to keep lying to them and telling them that they are victims. I'm not playing the race game any longer, I do not feel guilty, I will not be manipulated into being silenced by someone calling me a "racist". I will call it like it is. I will not walk on eggshells. If people want to have a discussion about "race relations - lets have it! But it's NOT going to be one-sided any longer.

They used to sell "Trespassers Will Be Shot" signs at the hardware store. Do they not sell those anymore?

[quote name='Lester Weevils' timestamp='1352653444' post='843781'] Yeah my means are very limited but have been mistaken (sorely mistaken) as "rich" on rare occasion. Envy of others' possessions is one angle, wanting what someone else has. Spread the wealth. In many cases wrong-headed but it is hard to say anything is always wrong-headed. Perhaps there are cases that it wouldn't be wrong-headed. There are folks do not envy another fella's possessions, but resent the power which accompanies wealth. They don't envy or covet the power, but don't like it being used to push around the common man. Surely there are some who don't mind the power which accompanies wealth but only envy and covet the power for themselves rather than some other fella. But I don't covet power. I just don't want it used against me. As long as a rich guy doesn't wield his power against me then I don't care about his wealth or "potential power". Bloomberg and Soros ferinstance. They use the wealth and accompanying power to screw with us. Lots of rich folk in local and state politics who screw with us, wrong-headed decisions to suit their own perverted conception of how things should be. Them folks wouldn't have the power to screw with us if they weren't rich. This is a form of oligarchy or oligopoly. I'm not suggesting any solutions. Merely pointing out what I see as a valid problem which has always been with us. The limits of private property rights could be probed with extreme hypotheticals. For instance, if Bill Gates had enough money to buy half of Nashville, would his property rights enable him to evict everybody from his half and tear it down to the ground? If he had enough money to buy half of washington state, would his property rights be fine to clear-cut his half? [/quote] I agree with all that you have said. Let me interject this - (While I am not saying this is a blanket statement, it may sound like it, but I have experienced a LOT of it over the past 30 years...) I have managed several fast food chains over the past 30 years. I was the only white person working there (as the GM). My employees were always saying crazy stuff like, "You white. You rich." I would try to have conversations with them and explain that no, I'm not 'rich', and I'm certainly not 'rich' because I'm white. I work hard and will work 2 or 3 jobs if I have to. The employees meanwhile, would never show up for work when scheduled the day after they got paid. They were out getting drunk, spending their money on court fees or hookers. I had to bail a few of them out on several occasions, give updates to their parole officers, give them rides home after work, etc. One time, I'm pretty sure I naively drove one of them to a drug deal when giving them a ride home from work. They have their own underground lottery. They have their own secret language. They have no aspiration to get ahead, just to barely make enough to buys cigs, booze, video games or whatever. One day I had two employees go at each other out in the dining room and try to kill each other. I had to call the police. Then one night another employee was showing me all of the oversized rings on his fingers. He was explaining that one (a big dollar symbol) stood for "money", and another (which I forget what it was) stood for "power". Wha????? 0bama has blown the race card, I'm not playing that game anymore, just telling the truth like it is. What I have said above is just a drop in the bucket.

A big hurt is coming world-wide, and soon.

Tried two different different computers, unless I accidentally clicked on something in my user settings...but I looked there and don't see anything wrong...

[quote name='Sam1' timestamp='1352657340' post='843817'] Supposedly this investigation has been ongoing for months and the FBI was not legally allowed to do it unless congressional committees or higher gave authorization. All of this going on and I still want to know why another country can shoot at our military equipment and it be ignored completely. (not downplaying the importance of investigating the Benghazi situation) - I think we're in for a rough ride [/quote] I hear ya Sam. Military equipment? Who cares about that! Apparently it's ok for another country to kill our Ambassador (and others) and it be ignored completely.

[quote name='S&WForty' timestamp='1352589855' post='843361'] Wasn't her answer to every question about White Water "I don't recall/I don't have any recollection...?" I'm sure that's all she would say over Libya. [/quote]Yeah, I seem to remember a couple of people related to White Water who mysteriously died too. "Accidents" and such. More dead people in Benghazi. What a coincidence. The Clintons seem to leave a trail of bodies.

[quote name='DaveTN' timestamp='1352595281' post='843396'] Taking up arms against other Americans is something you should never think about. When you die, you are just dead. If it was a good cause you are a martyr. If it was a bad cause you are a terrorist. Has someone suggested coming to your home and taking your guns? [/quote]Did he say anything about taking up arms against "other Americans"? I Don't think that is who he is speaking of.

Must be nice to be able to a: "decline", and b: over a busy schedule. Next time I am called to testify, I'll have to remember that one.

[quote name='RobertNashville' timestamp='1352580752' post='843262'] Don't you know, according to some here, the "only candidate to have signed an AWB was Romney" so since Romney lost, we don't have to worry about this stuff. [/quote]Ohhhhhhhh...

[quote name='HvyMtl' timestamp='1352570515' post='843153'] Gentlemen, You seem to be forgetting something. What was the source of the information? Who found the affair? The FBI figured it out, from what I gather. The FBI and the CIA have always tried to limit each other. Looks like the FBI won this round. It is not a cover up. Seen any video interaction between the reporter, and the General? His demeanor changed, he was very favorable to her, and it showed. I wish they would not boot him for this, though his actions did create a major security breach. I like the fellow. I think he has served this nation exceptionally well. I hate to see this happen. [/quote]I guess the fbi is in the private detective business now. LOL Dems didn't see it as a major security issue when Clinton was boinking Monica. Can't get any higher on the potential breach scale than that. The timing of this is highly suspect to be sure.

[quote name='HvyMtl' timestamp='1352564362' post='843095'] Diane Finestien does that all the time. Her constituents expect her to act this way. It never gets anywhere. [/quote]While it may neve "seem" to get anywhere, these people openly declare their true intentions. And is does eventually get somwhere, just like termites, little by little. A little regulation here that no one thinks is a big deal. A little ban there that no one thinks is a big deal. One day you wake up and wonder what happened.

A manufactured "afair" to get him off the hook for testifying and out of 0bama's hair. No liberal lackey has the honor to resign over something so trivial as that in the eyes of Dems, and no Dem has the honor to callfor someone's resignation over something that Dems consider to be so trivial. Unless it's a Republican. Purely a strategy move. C.Y.A. all the way.
