O.T. i await your clarion call. I enjoyed LTC West’s video. Hell of a good speaker.I owned property in his district from 1985=2005 and visited often. Home of 2000 hanging chad fiasco. Thirteen term Repub. upset by young Dem lawyer in 2006 who then beat West by about 8% in 08. Expect 2010 could be close. Best Richard

O.T. I never called YOU a fat old white guy.Keep chasing the bad guys. I never said anything negative about Goldwater other than he was buried in an LBJ landslide in 64.I’ve been a Dem since JFK’s call to his countrymen in his inaugural address in 1960. I believe strongly in Civil Rights,Human Rights,and Women’s Rights a strong free press and a strong military.Also think term limits on Congress would send a message. Best to you O.T.

@MataHarley:

You misread my point, I was rolling my eyes at her. What could we possibly achieve by arguing these opinions? Sometimes the most intelligent response is to let sleeping dogs lie…

Cary, Ms. “intellectual”, Melissa, was evidently google searching, uncovered something she thought was current and got her knickers in a twist. rich wheeler came in behind. Both were incensed… never noting the date and issues of that time.

Nor is this a new subject. This same discussion took place between billy bob and myself about a week or so before the MA special election…. he insisted that people voted Dem because the GOP was a bunch of racists, and I insisted people vote Dem for the welfare programs. Same subject here (somewhat expanded for the issues of the day) but under a 2006 FA thread.

That is a time that precedes most of us contributing authors here, and when Curt was just being discovered by the internet blog world for the powerhouse he is.

Try not to give bubble head Melissa too much credit. Unless, of course, you think that accidently tripping face first into a cow pie, coming up with your face covered, is a laudable feat. She’s already got an uphill battle with reality on self perception.

I think it’s hysterical that it took three years for this discussion to take place. Clearly nobody thought it was important until Melissa gave it some attention…

rich wheeler, If I was indeed a fat old white guy I could not have passed my last APFT. My politics do nor involve redistribution of OPM (Other Peoples Money), Businesses that are too big to fail getting bailouts based upon their Political Contributions, giving Terrorists the Rights of American Citizens, the same ones that have killed Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen or hijacked Civilian Passenger Flights on 9.11.01 and Murdered Thousands.

As I was recalled to Active Duty my current occupation is not punching cattle but is to locate Taliban and Al Q, eliminate them and give the Afghan People a chance to have a choice in Free Elections on selecting Their choice of Government without a lot of Murder, Mayhem and Fear getting in the way.

My Politics do not involve a revival of LBJs “Great Society” that was a failure but kept folks of Color on the Democrat Plantation.. “”I’m going to have them niggers voting Democratic for a century”- LBJ.”. An LBJ quote Bud. As I recall He was a Democrat.

I recall you giving Barry Goldwater a few insults a while back. General, and later Senator Goldwater Desegregated the Arizona National Guard in 1957, prior to the 1964 Civil Rights Act while Democratic Senators Al Gore Sr. (the former VP’s dad) and former KKK member Robert Byrd, who participated in an unsuccessful 74-day filibuster in an attempt to stop the Civil Rights Act.

OH My God, they were Democrats!

A word of advice to You Old Marine, be an American First and but Logic up front and shoddy Partisanship aside. No bait offered here just some sound advice. Your Service was Honorable but we have an America that needs independent voices and thinkers. Be one of those and not one of the herd.

I have a flight to catch to get back in the Theater and my Service matters above anyone’s Political theories or Foreign Policy failures. As Montana has only 3 Electoral votes I am less than “relevant” to folks of Your persuasion but I try to make a difference every day .

No bait here Mata or Mike, just some info. There are two posters on my ASAFA Daughters wall in her dorm, Ronald Reagan and Chuck Yeager and a picture of her feeding a filly that bears Mata’s name.

I missed the SOTU address but I did not buy any used cars lately either.
