Credo
"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

Howard Dean was clueless as a governor and he remains ever clueless about the military and the people who serve this country in that capacity. I have heard him make the statement while governor about HIS Army National Guard, they were just a bunch of guys with bulldozers and dump trucks when in fact he didn’t bother to know or find out that he had an armored brigade full of other soldiers in the state. As for the “blatant opportunist” comment, it drips of hypocracy. The only way that guy became a governor is when the Republican governor died in office while he was the LT Gov. As for becoming the Chair of the DNC, he got enough traction when he ran for Prez that the Dems couldn’t ignore him.
I’m just glad that God has a sense of humor. In a year when all the usual political indicators would point to an overwhelming Democratic victory we have been “blessed” with Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Not since Larry, Moe and Curly have we seen a triumvirate of such political acumen.
A Richie- rich Trust Fund ski bum by way of the upper east side, the Hamptons and the Peoples Republic of Burlington…a totally useless walled -eyed sh**t-head…
… and yes M6 there is a God and thankfully for the good guys… he/she? has a grand sense of humor. Best
you know snake eater…. that was so eloquent, I must applaud. Well stated!!
Thanks Fast Nav, That gomer is a real piece of work… pisses me off just thinking about him…must relax though…bad for the old BP and all. Best
M6,
Don’t forget the two — cut and run in the face of our enemies — Marxists still slugging it out for the Dem presidential nomination… As I’ve said before; grab the popcorn and beverage of your choice. It’s going to be an — ehem — interesting election year.

Check out these comments by Mr. Whooooeeee from Vermont… and some of his friends. “W” makes a very SOLID point, too! Why don’t they support the men and women THEY voted to send into harm’s way?

You would think it’s the very least they should do… and yet, they continue to do not EVEN LESS… but worse.
Hey, Marine6, you’re being kinda hard on some of my favorite guys, the Three Stooges, aren’t you? Their estates might be offended.
“a totally useless walled -eyed sh**t-head…” Think of all the $S HD could have saved on psych-evals…
The old double standard. You need to understand Dem code talk:
Bipartisan= Abandon your position and see things the Dem way
Republican war hero = clueless baby killer
Dem war hero = war hero
Personally, I think Dr. Dean (Socialist-VT) has been watching too much of John (The Gamer) Kerry’s Winter Soldier testimony.
Dem War Hero………….isn’t that an oxymoron?
I would prefer whomever most resembles George Washington, the description of the powers and duties of the President, in the Constitution, having been written with him in mind.
Ain’t a whole lot of people like that, and none I see that are running for the office.
Hiring a President is sorta like hiring cops, to my mind; anybody who applies for the job has automatically disqualified himself.
P.s. I think James Webb is close, and a certified Dem War Hero. (I do have “Born Fighting” open before me right now, not that I would let his excellent writing and service as a Marine officer influence my judgment, or anything…)
Never happen, though. That would scare the normals too much.
