From the link:  "a warning that even passion for righteousness can be turned to evil, precisely because it is passion."

Bullshit. Moderates are bed-wetters. You do not get anything done by being in the middle, luxurating in your ennui, being apathetic, and lulling yourself to complacency with fear of stepping a toe into an actual well-reasoned opinion.

I'd rather be "persecuted for the sake of righteousness" than to stand knee deep in the muck and slime ignoring the fact that the tide was coming in.

These assholes are afraid that people are going to see what they are doing and are using every means at their disposal to shut it up or stop of the ears of those who dare pay attention.

well I certaintly am no Beck fan (Hell I could write a whole book on how he's distorted, exaggerated, and butchered history and info to add a little bit of paranoia into sound arguments which end up doing no help to those arguments.) and i'm certatintly not a fan of the whole professor looking down on you while lecturing for a whole hour format, this article is a joke.

Somehow people of the left and squishy conservatives that anything that rallies against leftists ideas which are failing all around the world in front of our own eyes and has failed even when implemented by Republicans Presidents in more moderate policies, is somehow all a bunch of hateful right wing rhetoric. Forget the trillions in debt and deficit, the decline of us as a superpower, or the society that is being brought down, forget it all because we need the unicorns and rainbows Obama and the lefties promise us.

ok so? some of the best movies/books/music have been by lefties and I just laugh at their idiocy and enjoy the creative work they've done; one of the best examples would be Stephen King, a major lefty douchebag who's writing I can't help but enjoy

afterall lefties sometimes make the mistake of arguing an idea and come to find it's a conservative idea.

rant on/ also Off-Topic sort of but i'm really sick of this idea by conservatives of snickering at the oscars or anything else in the enetertainment world, "Oh I haven't seen the 10 best pic nominees and don't plan to.", those who do so miss out on great films/books/music that can actually inspire conservative thought. Yes Hollywood is bias and seem to not give a damn about middle America as the oscar ratings will show, but why lie down and allow the art world that inspires and motivates to be dominated by lefties. I'm with Breitbart on this one; call out the BS in the art world and inspire more conservatives to get involved. snickering, "Eww Hollywood, liberal message books, that leftists music." isn't going to help any. We win in the free market, let's take advantage of it. /rant off

He was complaining at the time that many of his friends had failed out and that he didn't have enough of a social life. I said that since he's worried about Biology he doesn't need a social life. He asked why I keep saying that all the time, it doesn't help. I said that I keep hoping he'll become mature enough to hear it. The fact that while he has a class that he might have to drop he shouldn't be worried about his fucking social life, that's immature. That's when he responded the above.

I've never had to deal with anything like that. She didn't drive the kid and there were much older kids at home but she did drive home. I do not like being lied to and I don't want dog's ass on my carpets.

I may have to ask the husband if he knows about it--he apparently flew in late that night. I also don't want to put the kid in a position where she drives her instead of sending her to me.

I know the principal of the school really really well as well as the pastor of the church that runs the school......I just wonder if I should present them with a hypothetical, see what they say, or be more forthcoming so they can keep an eye out too.

I didn't give it a click either. Some moderates are liberal or conservative but don't have the guts to say what they really think as they can't stand confrontation. Others are apolitical but don't want to admit that they really don't follow or think critically about politics, geopolitics, and events that shape relationships from personal to international.

The music I mentioned has given me conservative thoughts and ideas on life and other projects I want to work on in my life. Music, like film and other art, is not  something everyone's going to agree on. Hell we can't agree on what blogs we like. I pointed to music that helps me and inspires me as I was asked.

WhatÂ’s the best way to get Americans back to work?

Raise taxes, according to AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka. Specifically, he wants to raise the federal gas tax as a means to fund infrastructure spending. “We need a dedicated source of revenue to create infrastructure in this country,” he tells Aaron Task in the accompanying clip.

“We need to create jobs. The best way to do that is through infrastructure development.” Simply maintaining the existing infrastructure in this country will cost $2.2 trillion over five years, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers. That doesn’t include Obama’s objective of high-speed rails and green energy projects.

My contention  is that ever since the Gulf War/Operation Desert Storm, the left was alarmed at just how GOOD the Army was, and has been doing everthying possible in the last 20 years to undermine morale and reduce effectiveness without just coming out and saying so.

This latest idiocy with DADT may just be the straw that breaks the camels back and really ruins the Army and the other branches for good.

Well look at the bright side Alex, we now have a valid excuse to opt out of "mandatory fun" activities like Christmas Parties and the like if the gay lifestyle is gonna be on display.  I'll pass on that thank you very much.

Oh, I fully expect that anyone who tries to duck out on the excuse that they don't want to see open homosexuality celebrated will be hammered.  After all, by refusing to attend, you're creating a "hostile environment" and harming morale.  And if you are an officer or Senior NCO, you'll be expected to suck it up and attend, whether you like it or not.

This latest idiocy with DADT may just be the straw that breaks the camels back and really ruins the Army and the other branches for good.

Nah, I dont' think it is permenent.  However, we're giong to be looking at probably 20 years of misery and likely another Kasserine Pass before there are any reforms.  Shit, when the SecDef starts spouting the idiodic idea that we won't be fighting ground wars in the future you know that people at the top have their heads shoved up their ass.

We had anarchists rioting in Seattle last night to protest police brutality. With the accompanying property damage etc. I hate anarchists. Their end goal is stupid. And don't tell me they wouldn't be weeping bitterly if they couldn't drink their expensive coffee and listen to Green Day on the their iPods. Their railing against "the man" is just idiotic because they would be curled up in the fetal position sucking their thumbs and whimpering if they couldn't buy their black hoodies, skinny jeans, and black scarves from Urban Outfitters.

I hate to say this, but the citizens who own those businesses or live in the area need to band together, and tell the police that at the first sign of violence by the black hooded thugs, they're going to defend their property with leathal force if necessary

Rockford Files was a very underrated show. Garner was the original Selleck/Magnum type character, first on Maverick.

Just went to IMDB.

1980 to 88.

Tom Selleck played Lance White in the Rockford Files for a couple episodes before that.

If your image of chemists is wandering around toting beakers, smiling, and wearing lab coats you are sadly wrong. The bosses are still vain preening cockroaches ready to steal your work, belittle your school/dress/writing/choice of toothpaste, and play office politics like a mofo.
 
A good electrician makes more money. Find something in demand that you like to do.

I actually didn't have any real image except that it was somethign that looked interesting, would provide work and would seem to be relatively job secure.  Politics and backstabbing SOBs exist everywhere.  My problem is that my undergrad is in Econ, and if I go the financial route I'm likely to end up on one of the coasts, while if I go with my military training, I'll end up in NOVA / DC, and I absolutely do not want to do that if I can avoid it.

I actually considered the electrician option. 

Btw, weren't you considering moving to TX? Denver is a liberal paradise from what I've heard.

I'm probably going to end up in El Paso for a year at least, but I have no desire to stay there.  I'm from Colorado originally, and still have some good friends in Denver.  The city is a liberal paradise, but most of my friends are left wing, so I'm used to it, and a lot of the stuff I like to do, Denver has. 

Oh I imagine there will be trouble if the government closes down this week.

And to that I say, "Good."

If people haven't woken up to what the left, the dems, the unions, and the media (BIRM) are up to yet, maybe that'll be the shock they need. 10% or higher unemployment. Gas at $3.20 a gallon. A perception throughout the world of being weak. And $14 trillion in debt while the dems carp about tiny cuts to Planned Parenthood and PBS. We are not too big to fail. It's time for the American people to see the outcome of these past 2 years of leftist rule.

I'm a federal employee. I may be furloughed at the end of the week, but since I'm considered an essential worker, I would have to show up for work, with the possibility of not being paid. That's fine. I've saved up my money. And if it finally brings to a head the fact that the left wants to bring this country down, it'll be worth it. I took an oath to protect and defend the United States. I'll do my job sans pay for a while if it comes to that.

Sigh.  He wants his dad to send enough money to "loan" his best friend to fly home to his folks.  He thinks he's a millionaire from the little bit my mom left him.

Still, I want to know from military morons here, he's hinted he'll be going to Afghanistan this summer.  Will he be given a pre-deloyment leave then?  He's paying for his trip home on leave.

you are right i believe, but i hope not.

i really never thought i'd see the police not do their job as i have today. I've always admired them immensely and have been grateful to them for their efforts at keeping life bearable. But now i see their allegience is to the Union and the almighty dollar, not the people.  bad day for me.

bad day for us. so if they cross this line for their political ideal, whats to say they won't cross any, wee are their enemy? we the people that are terrified of the U.S. falling over the cliff permanently into fiscal armegeddon? We are now their enemy?

The Rifleman, kickass beginning

what am I- chopped liver?

Sorry. I was reading bottom up after hitting "end". But your figured it out first.

That's funny that you guys knew that and I didn't remember. I was always loyal to my crushes. Even watched Barbary Coast for Bill Shatner.

Thats the one i ment instead of enforcer, just started watching the first season and was impressed.

368 Depends, some are getting pre-deployment leave, some aren't.  Things have been a bit topsy turvy as far as when, where, how long with the deployment situation -- at least here.

Only thing for certain is at least one of mine is looking headlong into the one suck of a deployment, and with a bunch of cherries too.  Good times!

If he's deploying soon, I would be surprised if he got additional leave on top of this one.

Thanks, Tami.  That's what we're thinking.  

Hated to hijack the thread, but I'm dealing with in-law crap right now in addition to my baby coming home.

Robert Conrad WAS a tough guy.  That was no act.. Not quite Chuck
Norris tough guy, but he was heavily into amateur boxing, and did his own stunts.

Remember....."High Mountain Rangers"  ?

Screw the in-laws....focus on D'oh boy.  That's the only thing that's important.  The only!

My sister says that's why she can't talk on Sundays.

_{But I suspect it's for the same reason that she can't Mon thru Sat.}

I'll e-mail you privately tomorrow.  I've pissed the entire family off, by taking care of my own feelings. 

Our kid flies into ATL the night before our 25th anniversary.  We have to spend the night with my in-laws in their retirement home.

I can't get our kid back home to Savannah fast enough.

I still say screw 'em.  Do they EVER care if they piss you off?  Do they EVER take D'oh boys feelings into account? No. 

Your one and only priority is your son.   They can shove it.

Thanks.  My dad died on Mother's Day 15 years ago, he was only 76.  My mom was sick most of her life with her heart, but so full of joy and love it was amazing.  She inhaled something into her lungs after breakfast, three days after our only child arrived at Marine boot camp.  She died a week later on her's and my dad's wedding anniversary.  She was buried on her own mother's birthday.

I'm a tough cookie, but I've had a delayed reaction to my mom's death.  I was her caregiver for over 25 years. 

419 That's good advice. 

Maybe just tell them that since there seems to be so much tension caused by family get togethers that perhaps it's time to just agree to disagree and not have much to do with each other from now on?    Have a couple of relatives like that and that's how it's been handled -- we don't seek each other out or speak, and everyone seems to be in a better frame of mind for it.

Sorry about your wife Duke -- that straight up sucks.

360,000 mostly white Union soldiers died in the Civil War to free the slaves.

That is an injustice to real history.  Good propaganda for a President who trashed the U.S. Constitution, started a war that resulted in over 620,000 fatalities and didn't bother freeing slaves under his control until after the war.
