I am in favour (note the “u”) of UHC, think health care in the US is insane, and am most emphatically in favour of gun control. Don’t hit me! ---

These threads always swiftly turn into sneakbragging “look how specially different I am from the oh-so-common mainstream” threads. ---

Since all these people eat, buy gas, and repair their cars in NJ, I’ve caused the economy here to have a small positive ripple. You’re Welcome! 😉 2. Since all this money is being spent on these people, I’ve managed to keep a Significant Amount of money out of the war-chests for candidates and political causes near and dear to their Anus-Shaped Little Hearts! I’ve got a few hundred Meg of stills and movies, all nicely time & date stamped stored here and on a few off-site external drives should I ever have to produce them in a court of law. I’ll save them for the day the man in the black robes & with a gavel says “cite”. To the Bad Guys: _ **SUCKERS…!** _ To The Good Guys: Well, I don’t know and never will ever meet any of the Clintons or the Obamas. Still, I’d like to think our President during his morning meeting says something like, “People, give me some Good news.” I don’t pretend that any of this will ever make it to That list: its not Top Five, its not even Top Five Thousand. Still, wouldn’t it be funny to think that some aid might actually tell him some day, “Sir? It took seven long years but one guy from NJ FINALLY got it.” And if the President asks what they mean, I’ll write the response here & keep it short so as not to take up too much of his time.

I own a number of guns and shoot them frequently. Oddly enough, I no longer enjoy killing things and kind of despise those who do. I just like shooting holes in paper, and other non-living things. On the other hand, if you break into my house with the intention of robbing or hurting me or mine I will make you dead without a second thought. I think most tattoos and all piercings are stupid, and are indicative of mental problems. I think 90% of rock music and 99% of rap is crap. The few times I’ve watched Dr. Who i thought it was fun, but not very well done. i often drive a huge, gas-guzzling SUV. (My wife’s '94 3/4-ton Suburban.) ---

1. Blucher, because it doesn’t cost me anything, I choose to believe you. Good luck and keep fighting the good fight. 2. As for the OP: Why the \*\*\*\* should I ‘honor the troops’? They’re not ‘protecting my freedoms’. If anything they help propagate an endless line of terrorists. They’re members of an org. That _may_ do good things, but that org. does many vile things as well and covers up crimes just as readily as any corrupt police org. does. ‘Please stand and take off your hat for’God Bless America’ while we honor our troops at home and abroad.’ Fuck that shit. I stand and take off my hat for our National Anthem only. ---
