Now if we could just run off all those damn people from the “bleu” states that have moved here in droves it would be much nicer.

Uh, that would include the Bush family, my Lone Star friend. They’re from Maine. W’s grandpa was named “Prescott.” How many real Texans name their boys Prescott, for God’s sake? In my neighborhood we used to pick on kids with sissy names like that. And I’m from Ohio.

I like your gun laws, by the way. I always believed the only truly effective gun control was a steady hand.

This is what Italie considers “risque”

Funny, Italie doesn’t sound like an Amish name.

During a popular war, see, you can have all the weddings you want. Hell, you can have parties, keggers, hire strippers, whatever. You know, like WWII, that was popular war, who didn’t like WWII? Very popular war, lots of great movies and songs about that one.

You know who _really_ thought this particular war wasn’t so good? Saddam Hussein. He really hated it.

God bless Texas!

You got that right, hun!

Now if we could just run off all those damn people from the “bleu” states that have moved here in droves it would be much nicer. I am getting sick of seeing plates from Minnesota, New York, New Jersey, California, Massachusetts, Illinois and Michigan in places where the only reason anyone would have to be there is because they lived there.

A good time will be had by all.

(They would, however, be of age by then to be “punished with a baby” – except that we have His word that their Most Holy Father will instill in them the values and morals they will need to make better choices.)

Say ‘Amen,’ then be seated.

Duh, you can be a
–jet fighter pilot,
–successful CEO of a multi-million dollar corporation,
–popular governor of a huge state, & a
–half-way decent President
& still be stupid, right?

With her wedding at the family ranch, there will be no bad memories in the pictures.

That’s a REALLY important point. A wedding should be a special and memorable time of joy with family and friends. I hope their wedding is wonderful.

maybe we should say that if a leftard supports abortions, they should abort their babies. After all, you cant support abortions unless you have had an abortion.

Sounds fair to me.

Jenna Bush more than likely decided that she didn’t want a big, splashy public wedding, especially after the treatment she and her sister have received from the media over the past few years.

Jenna deserves her “happiest day” uncorrupted by the MSM and hostile numb-skull sheeple. She, in particular, has taken the brunt of their political spite for 8 years, not just three or so. From the onset, she learned the hard way, “It’s not fair! at UT/Austin. This gregarious girl, all grown up now, deserves to be treated with the respect due to the lady she has become. With her wedding at the family ranch, there will be no bad memories in the pictures.

Shame on Leno for dissing Jenna last night, while cross network Letterman pronounces to his audience and to Paris Hilton that Paris deserves his protection as a “real lady”! Anyone can take over Leno’s “Jay Walking” and “Headlines” schtick when his contract expires.

What she said.

Oh, and I love the way the Anchoress described other gowns of the day as “blowsy meringue”. What an apt description and word picture that brings up.

Oh, and I lay Vietnam at the feet of the media and the Dems in Congress who cut off funding…

So do I. I remember that. I also remember the country buying the bill of goods. But we elected a Democratic majority in 2006, didn’t we? And we let the media tell us not to pay attention to certain candidates, don’t we? (No, not you personally.)

And yes, let’s concede that you’re right about the world peace thing for the moment. The fact is, we are not the only nation threatened by the terrorism of Islamic extremists. But don’t you believe we shoulder a disproportionate burden of trying to defeat it? Isn’t it time we started getting tough with “allied” nations who don’t support us?

And that whole ass on a platter thing, we agree on that too, okay?

Hey, you’re the one who doesn’t give a “plug nickel” about world peace, remember?

Actually, what I said was that I didn’t believe world peace was possible, therefore I wasn’t willing to “sacrifice” a plug nickel to attain it. And you think I have reading/comprehension problems?

On the other hand, if you attack my country, I think you should get your ass handed to you on a platter.

Oh, and I lay Vietnam at the feet of the media and the Dems in Congress who cut off funding and lost the country AFTER we won the freaking war. Just like what the Dems are trying to do in Iraq today.

Lets report some NEWS.

Now, if a need arises for the entire country to make sacrifices, I believe the majority of Americans would rise to the occasion just as we’ve done before. Do you have any evidence to the contrary?

Vietnam.

Why are we fighting terrorism? Do you remember 9/11? Do you remember the Cole, our embassies, the Marine Barracks in Lebanon, etc, etc, etc? Sheesh, we are fighting because we were ATTACKED!! Over and over again.

Hey, you’re the one who doesn’t give a “plug nickel” about world peace, remember?

Are we prepared to do what our parents and grandparents did back then? I look around at our standard of living, at what we are loathe to give up, and I don’t think we are. I submit that as long as we cannot answer “yes” to that question, our troops will not get the support they so richly deserve. (And for the record, yes, I think they richly deserve it.)

I already stated that I was ready to sacrifice for our troops and I am betting most of the folks that post here are as well. Right now, there hasn’t been communicated any need to do so, but that apparently upsets you for some reason. If you feel some personal need, not only to sneer at our standard of living (which is merely reflective of our superiority as a nation), but to personally “sacrifice” in order to feel you are “supporting” the troops, I could direct you to some of the web sites where I routinely make contributions? Now, if a need arises for the entire country to make sacrifices, I believe the majority of Americans would rise to the occasion just as we’ve done before. Do you have any evidence to the contrary?

And if we are not prepared to keep the peace in the world (not worth a plug nickel, you say), why are we around the world fighting terrorism, the victory over which would achieve precisely that?

Why are we fighting terrorism? Do you remember 9/11? Do you remember the Cole, our embassies, the Marine Barracks in Lebanon, etc, etc, etc? Sheesh, we are fighting because we were ATTACKED!! Over and over again.

It sure isn’t to keep some kind of mythical “peace” in the world and its exceedingly naive to believe that a “victory” over terrorism would somehow result in world peace. If we really wanted to impose “peace” on the world, we would have to take out North Korea, most of the Middle East, probably China and Russia, all militant muslims, various thugs and dictators, groups of communists, leftist guerilla groups, right-wing death squads, etc. Not going to happen and you know it (I hope).

I know it’s difficult. While there are some very sharp and well-read people in this forum, you don’t usually hear departures from the usual neo-con party line here. It takes getting used to. And no, that’s not what I mean at all. What I mean, is exactly what I’m saying, not what you think I might be inferring.

Ahh, there we have it! Us enlightened people are much more opened minded and capable of understanding others than you insular, inbred, conservative types. Although your personal inability to effectively communicate your opinions puts the lie to that. We could get into a pissing contest about how intelligent we are, how well educated, how experienced, etc., but this is the innernut and you’d just lie to stay competitive.

P.S. My parents grew up during WWII too, so what? Heck, my parents suffered more deprivation raising myself and my siblings than they did during WWII. Lots and lots of us had parents who grew up during WWII or actually fought in that war, its called the “Baby Boom”, so your experiences in that realm aren’t exactly unique.
