Dave 'Bio' Barenek was an F-14 RIO, and was involved in the production of Top Gun. We have a mutual friend in common, and when he wrote a book a couple years ago she offered to get me a signed copy. After a couple days, he actually sent me a friend request on Facebook, and I took a picture of it before I accepted it.My oldest brother was really pumped earlier this week, because Chuck Yeager liked one of his tweets.
Pretty sure you don't need to justify your actions. Most people are able to understand.I'd like to clarify this statement. This was a talk with my daughter about all of the nasty things out there. She heard the Trump stuff at school from other kids which led to a bigger talk from me. That was part of it, an example. The toughest thing I've had to go through with my kids growing up is watching their innocence evaporate in front of my face as they find out that it can be a intensely cruel place out there. Me tearing up is the realization of uncertainty about so much out there that my kid has been introduced to and may or may not have to directly face in the future. It's a tough moment as a parent and especially with a daughter. My intention was never to make this a black and white issue with Trump. He is part of the problem. This transcends political lines, so please don't say I wouldn't call a sleazebag a sleazebag based on how they vote.Source of the post "breaking down in tears"

I'm not bothered by the fact that you think that comparison was stupid. I'm more irritated that you seem (I think) to be calling me part of "team conservative" when I'm a registered libertarian who voted for Gary Johnson.but i'm very comfortable in saying that the nonsense that you're bringing to the table today is stupid as sh*t. you may not be stupid. but you are saying stupid things. i know that shyster isn't stupid, but (if he was serious), his anatomy conflation was one of the stupidest takes i've ever read on this board. shades of grey, nobody...smart people can do dumb things. it may seem complicated, i know.
The last 8 pages or so: "I can't believe you voted for that turd sandwich when the giant ****** was clearly the superior candidate!"
*shrug* The fact that you perceive any differences does not mean that anyone else perceives differences, or that they share your opinion (or anyone else's opinion) as to whether the giant ****** was in fact any better than the turd sandwich.Do we really need to hash out the differences again?The last 8 pages or so: "I can't believe you voted for that turd sandwich when the giant ****** was clearly the superior candidate!"

I am a conservative. I find this ideology appealing because I've made a lettered study of American conservatism though my starting point happened to be an enlightened Irishman named Edmund Burke. From there I moved onto Alexander Hamilton. My expertise affords me a deep understanding of the opposition to FDR. As an example, not only am I able to quote Arthur Vandenberg but I can debate his point of view from both sides if necessary. I'm also well versed in adjunct (at times, ancillary) versions of conservatism: fiscal - social - etc. If asked, I'm able to quote and elaborate (in depth) American conservative icons such as Buckley, Goldwater, Nixon, Reagan, et al. Concurrently I'm able to discuss at length American liberalism; its strengths and weaknesses, its successes and failures.I've been in meetings all morning...I'm honored that I was the topic du jour for a good portion of the AM
CBear...I would never recommend sifting through my old posts...I'm sorry you had to do that.
For the rest of you, I love all of you even if I don't disagree with you.
I voted for Trump because I hate Clinton. And to watch the Left collectively lose their minds. In other words, for entertainment value. Any action he took on immigration or anything else would be a bonus (of course, not in the hamfisted way he did the week he took office). I acknowledge this makes me a hateworthy person.
Finally, it's high time that marijuana is fully legalized. Stop sending parents to prison over a plant.
It's called parody...I think.Huh. For the first time since the move to 5AF, I discovered a use for the Foe function.
The best satire is indistinguishable from realityHuh. For the first time since the move to 5AF, I discovered a use for the Foe function.
