Define my true nature. It being exposed and all….

Troll. You involved yourself in the conversation with no reason other than to flame.

Ted Kennedy somehow is destroying the families and lives of IT professionals. You mean all of them? If Uncle Ted has his way, then we won’t have IT pro’s anymore?

As an extremely outspoken proponent of Net Neutrality, Uncle Teddy has had his hands in every piece of legislation dealing with the Internet since the Telecomm Act of 96.

Should Net Neutrality be passed, all sites will have equivalent access granted forcibly. Should this occur, there will be no choice but to equalize access to all ports (protocol-based ports, 80 for http, 20 and 21 for ftp, 53 for DNS, etc etc.). When these ports have equal access, bandwidth allocation restrictions will be placed on all ports to ensure equal access. Doing so will diminish VTC, Gaming, and VOIP technologies, as they use protocols that require intermittent spikes in bandwidth. Thus, research and development for these technologies will cease, as it will be literally impossible for these technologies to exist without the bandwidth required.

Net Neutrality also covers the topic of blockage. Neutralizing ports will prevent firewall blocks of commonly known attack ports, such as those included in the ICMP suite.

Long story short:

HALT IN TECHNOLOGY!!!!

And that equals a loss in jobs. Get it now?

As for everything else you said (to include your violation of the ToU by calling me that five letter word that refers to male genitalia), I completely dismiss it as riff-raff from an uppity NCV Seaman who probably pulled his G.I. Bill straight from the pockets of a patriot that lost a limb.

Now, go ahead and have your last word so that we can get back on the topic of Teddy Tequila.

Didn’t she say that she’s an only child? I wonder if she’ll recognize her two siblings.

Why did she say that Mother Theresa convinced her to take two children back to America with her, when Mother Theresa was not there?

Why would she get with a married man?

These are just a few questions that she could answer for the American people.

Reread my post, I was in the Army. I was without freedom for the entire duration of my service. All of those years I kept my mouth shut and did what I was told so the rest of the country could call me a baby killer when I came home….. I think I have a right to spout out an opinion or two about a traitor that openly aids our enemy.

Tell us, please, whether you volunteered or were drafted? I suspect you were a volunteer. So the only time, apparently, that you were “without” freedom was during the period of time you volunteered to suspend your freedom. Your complaint about being without freedom and your statement of having earned it by giving it up (to serve in the Army) is not credible. You can’t complain about not having something that you gave away. Or maybe you can. Are you the only one who “gave it away” while serving? Are you the only one who’s been called a baby killer merely for wearing a uniform? Next you’ll be complaining that a bunch of protestors spit on you at the airport when you came home. If all this is true, then suck it up. It’s part of the job. And you knew that before you signed up.

As for your service, I do owe you. If you don’t mind, please state which combat zone you fought in, and what I can do for you to thank you for your service.

Fair enough, good question. I served somewhere under the Atlantic. Never been shot at, never shot at anyone else. And trust me, that’s a good thing. As far as thanking me, its not required nor requested. I served for my own reasons which didn’t include needing to be recognized for my service.

Also kindly point out where I stated that I was the only person to have provided freedom and liberty that we now enjoy. Perhaps I missed that statement in my revision. Or perhaps you seek only to provide a straw man fallacy for your argument.

Ok. Here you go:

The way you can thank me for buying your freedom for you

Why use the word me? Where is the inclusion of your brothers in arms? The ones who stood where you’re standing before you, the ones who stood beside you, and the one’s who’ll stand there after you? You selfish prick. Do they not measure up to the sacrifice you made? Are they lesser and undeserving? What about those that paid the ultimate price? Their sacrifice is priceless compared to yours and mine. Your remarks and attitude dishonor their service more than you realize. You come off sounding like a whiner, who needs a pat on the back. Tell you what, why don’t you write a book about your tours’ in Iraq and see how it stacks up against the other soldier-stories. I guess “Thank you” really isn’t good enough for you. But it should be.

I fail to see how you can correlate anything I’ve said to my skill in my career. This failed attempt at a baseless ad hominem attack exposes your true nature.

Ted Kennedy somehow is destroying the families and lives of IT professionals. You mean all of them? If Uncle Ted has his way, then we won’t have IT pro’s anymore? He must be pyschotic or something. Doesn’t he realize you are an IT pro? And, after having earned your freedom, unlike most others, how dare he do that to you.

Define my true nature. It being exposed and all….

Oh, and apparently Michelle should have edited her speech. You see, if you let your dreams go too far, and you accumulate too much wealth, then that’s not OK anymore…

Were you ever without freedom? Thats a very broad brush you’re painting with. Unless you believe you’re the only veteran who posts or comments on this blog.

No, you don’t. You have a right to voice your opinion. And the right to create your own blog. I recommend you look into that.

And voice my opinion, I did. Disagree with the method in which I did so, you did. Your opinion has been duly noted.

The Army of One speaks. You need to do a little recon here before you assume that only you have provided the liberty and freedom we now enjoy. I am more than slightly offended that you presume I owe you anything at all for your military service. To turn this around, you owe me and many others here who served before you were born.

Your condition of taking offense to my statements has been noted. I’m glad that you feel offended about the price of freedom. To my understanding, Iraq is currently rebuilding its populace, and to my personal experience they do not owe their military soldiers and veterans anything. You might find residence in that country slightly more befitting to your needs.

As for your service, I do owe you. If you don’t mind, please state which combat zone you fought in, and what I can do for you to thank you for your service.

If “Thank you for your service” isn’t enough recompense, maybe the military wasn’t a good choice for you. Neither, it seems, is the IT industry.

Leetpriest,

I understand what you say more than I can explain here.

Gentle reminder: There are things one refrains from doing in a host’s domain that one might rightfully do in their own.

Perhaps you’re right, Texette. I should have been a bit more eloquent in my language. I also appreciate the approach that you used to assist me in understanding your reasoning.

Now, unlike most Americans, I have EARNED my freedom.

It was not purchased for me, I paid for it with my own blood, sweat, and tears. I have the right to insist that criminals like Edward Kennedy fall to their own fate.

No, you don’t. You have a right to voice your opinion. And the right to create your own blog. I recommend you look into that.

I don’t want to hear a blanket meaningless statement like “thank you for your service”. The way you can thank me for buying your freedom for you is by letting me vent my anger out at a man that is trying as hard as he can to intentionally kill every service member, and destroy the families and lives of IT professionals.

He should be ashamed to show his face in public, yet he is one of the most public citizens. This tells you what you need to know about him

The Democrat Party gives this murderer a tribute for his lifetime of trying to destroy the nation. This tells you what you need to know about them.

It’s what he did all those years ago, on the streets of Chicago, setting up job training to get people back to work and afterschool programs to keep kids safe – working block by block to help people lift up their families.

It’s what he did in the Illinois Senate, moving people from welfare to jobs, passing tax cuts for hard working families, and making sure women get equal pay for equal work.

I would LOVE to see some actual PROOF of these “accomplishments.”

Sir, I do not know what you do for a living, but I am a 2 (yes 2) time Iraq Veteran and a Network Engineer.

That drunkard has threatened my life for a total of 2 1/2 years through avenues of withholding funding, harrassing and interrogating my former General Officers in what should have been a debriefing, and in conjunction with Murtha have made it to where I have had to cease fire whilst being directly fired at.

His push on Net Neutrality directly threatens my career that I’ve worked hard to earn, while his push for higher taxes and wealth redistribution bear heavy on my back.

Now, unlike most Americans, I have EARNED my freedom. It was not purchased for me, I paid for it with my own blood, sweat, and tears. I have the right to insist that criminals like Edward Kennedy fall to their own fate.

I dub the makeover failed.

I’m proud to say that I hope this man’s tumor kills him soon. I hate this filthbag puke with a passion.

10:39pm Eastern…She’s reading professionally from the teleprompter…but you know, she’s just an ordinary, civilian mom. Just like you.

Well, there is something that she and Barack have in common. Get them off the ‘prompter and she is condescending while he is a blithering idiot. A match made in heaven.
