  1. Your *mission* does not mean that much to you, or why don't you even write it in correct letters? Sometimes I wonder why we tried so hard with the Berlin Airlift or the destruction of the Berlin Wall. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  2. Seriously though, what do you know about it? Have you been exposed to priveleged information? Are you nuts? We invaded a defenseless country for no reason. Apparently, you were not paying much attention to the news much after 10 Sep 01. Iraq is connected to September 11th how? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  3. Hadn't seen that one, thanks for sharing it. Your welcome, that is just our small group at Neds, here is the Official website.. Keep in mind you do not even need to be a rider to join and participate...Join us!
  4. 100% correct. I don't know about you but, I have to take a political break for a season. I am just going to kick back watch and listen. I've got a motorcycle to ride, some guns to clean, a new AR-15 to sight in and, do some work around the house for my loving wife. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  6. I never heard of Adam Lambert. I thought maybe he wrote the song. I've only heard it song by Johnny Cash. Christians being anti-gay is a common misconception perpetuated by those who do not understand the concept of sin and salvation. If we are doing our job right, we are to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the path away from sin. Gays aren't the only ones headed down the sinister path.

  7. I'm with you brother. Keep looking up. Alcohol almost took me out. Now with over 27 years of sobriety I am convinced that God's grace does not deliver you from tribulation. Rather, He supports you during tribulation. Send me a PM it you like. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  8. A Fox40.com interview with the school superintendent yesterday indicated that the Denair principal had been overruled and the boy could fly the U.S. Flag on his bike. He also stated the principal was concerned for the boy's safety due to hold over issues from Cinco de Mayo. Don't offend the Mexicans. Don't offend the Muslims. I am getting sick and tired of this wussification of America crap. AMERICA - I'll fight ya' for it. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  10. NOT well said, Sir, really NOT. That's plain bullshit.

  11. ??? Which branch did you serve with and what did you do? Just curious, I was USAF, air traffic control and the Club Safety Officer and training instructor for the Commando Sport Parachute Club. I did not get jump pay. Bottom line, thank you for serving. I was an instructor at the Sea Survival School at Homestead AFB, a very strange place in USAF. It was a holdover from WWII when various units had rescue boats to pick up downed airmen. We wore a NAVY Uniform ( Medium blue pullover top with dark blue bell bottoms) with USAF insignia.. which really messed with peoples heads that had never seen that before We taught the college boys how to parachute into the water, not drown, get in their rafts.. and contact rescue and wait to get picked up by UH1-N Fun stuff most of the year... not so fun when the water temp was 60 and warmer than the air temps and you are soaking wet and there is a 20 knot "breeze" Except for the closing paragraph, I think your esoteric job beat the crap out of my esoteric job. Good on ya'. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

  15. ...which for a docket-full of criminal cases at least has some logic. But most court systems (esp. the bigger ones) also have a boatload of civil lawsuits - accident cases, med mal, commercial disputes, etc. - awaiting jury trials. No reason to bounce you from those. Too much laziness in public sector drones. Of the half dozen or so times I have been called, only once interviewed and selected as an alternate in a malpractice suit. Then, the next day dismissed as a settlement had been reached. I am fascinated by the court room process and drama. Now that I am retired, I'd be willing to serve twice a year.

  16. The same with me, as soon as they determine I was employed to run court ordered substance abuse treatment programs. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  17. No skydiving - no one can die from no skydiving. No driving - no one can die from no driving. No sex - no one can die from no sex. To be human is to accept responsibility for humanness. There are some who accept the reality of wars as a condition of humanness. These people become professional in their ability to carry it out, not to promote it but to restrict it. Those warriors wait in the shadows for orders to unleash their fury. There is an old story of the sheep and the sheepdogs. It is not bad to be a sheep. However, if you are a sheep, it is extremely bad taste to disparage the sheep dog. This is especially true when the sheep is from another herd in another pasture.

  18. I echo, THANK YOU VETERANS OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY. My bi-annual exam is coming up the first of Dec. My exams have been at a cost of $15, specialist co-pay was $50. The last bi-annual was $50, didn't see a specialist so don't know that co-pay increase. My question, how much are they charging you for the bi-annual physical now?

  19. I don't jump anymore, so I don't go to DZ's. Maybe all this controversy is just amongst skydivers. I mostly hang out with military veteran bikers, neighbors and family. Maybe the rest of America has a better grip on things. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  20. California dreamin'? Again, these terms are not discussed in my social community. Mostly, we think socialism is in the best interest of the government and not the people. We want to maintain American exceptionalism and not be dependent on the government. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  21. Which part, the Tea Party Patriots, or the Tea Party Express? They seem to dislike each others' "spirit". I have no answer. Those terms are not used in my social community.

  22. Nah!, You're not an asshole. Not any more than I am for refusing to denounce Christ in the face of unending onslaught. It is our karma/dharma if you will. SC is a therapeutic medium. The benefits far outweigh the consequences. At this stage of life, the least of which is mental stimulation to ward off Alzheimer's Disease.

  23. I always keep one main concept in mind when interacting with Andy9o8, namely his profession, attorney at law. Attorney's make their living basically representing parties in breach of contract issues, implicit or explicit. In criminal law, the breach of contract is a violation. In civil law it is a dispute. In other words, they function in conflict resolution. By supporting big government, to the chagrin of the free market capitalist, the attorney's seek to perpetuate conflict and thus increase their potential for personal income, in the macro sense. Again, in the macro sense, patriotic Americans seek to maximize personal wealth and power. In that context Andy9o8 is certainly a patriotic American. You don't have to bite his ass, just understand where he is coming from. He loves conflict. From that perspective, you can call the shots on anyone. Or, you can be a peace with them. It is a Yin-Yang choice and you can be in control. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  24. No, it's like listening to a former Christian terrorist and gaining insight from their personal experience on what Christian terrorism is all about. So long as one doesn't confuse Christian terrorism with Christianity or Islamist terrorism with Islam then thats fine, yet somehow I doubt thats the case on that website. Contempt prior to investigation will reduce your ability to acquire and assess intel. When I am gathering intel, I assume I know nothing. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  25. Myth #11: Conservatives have cornered the market on patriotism, and most liberals are not patriotic. I agree with Myth #11. However, I do not understand how left-wing and conservative can be linked together. Regardless, I am on the right side. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.
