It's a simple matter of getting my picture taken with people uglier than me! They serve beer at your nursing home? Damn, there is hope!

Right. Salute the rank, not the man. Pay is based on rank and time, not individual performance. Individual performance might help one get promoted, but it might not. The army is nowhere near the capitalist end of the dichotomy. That doesn't leave much in the way of alternative descriptors. Time in grade is one factor for promotion. Individual performance is the main factor. That argument ignores the original point that the military is funded from an outside source. Extremely poor example of communism. Also very important is shooting scores, and physical fitness evaluations. If a soldier is to become a leader, they should possess the qualities that others are required to achieve. All soldiers are warriors is the ideology, no matter what your MOS/RATE is, you may actually wind up fighting just like a grunt. IMHO, all of the above is necessary, PT, Marksmanship, Proficiency in job, Time in grade (to an extent), Time in Military (to an extent) also important is how much more training the soldier has received, we want the best to lead. Unfortunately from around the early 90's until just a few years back, there were many who were promoted as some type of military "Affirmative Action" That was an atrocity.

Think "plausible deniability"

Looks to be the scapula of a small mammal. Edited: I just saw that someone else posted that. Oh well

How completely classless. The preceding media content has been brought to you by the democratic party. Obamamessiah has approved this message

Wherever you really do live, just start giving away your home, and everything else you own, because somehow others deserve what yoo have,

Someday, when the goverment decides to change the law, and let squatters forcefully and violently take away the land that was yours (for hundreds of years) try not to shed a tear over it.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>...and I have no problem eating what someone else shoots. I shot a skunk the other day.....Quote So go eat it, Bon Apetit. Kill it, and you better eat it.

Have him gig you a new knee, I hear those frogs have remarkable regenerative capabilities. Mmmmm frog legs. I hear Kallend likes FROG legs.

I agree, the face of racism in America has many different colors.

Pssssssssst, there was no surplus, we still had a large deficit, The national debt was still there.

If you intended that towards me you were wasting your breath. I say if there is wrondoing, let the facts be found, and where necessary, prosecute them to the fullest extent. Are you of the opinion that Rezko and Obama are not connected in any manner? Or that Obama did not involve himself in any wrongdoing? If so please explain how you know that Obama has done nothing wrong.

Are Presidential candidates usually embroiled in fraudulent schemes involving investment firms, the Illinois Teachers’ Pension Fund and questionable campaign contributions?

Obama, Rezko, Daley, Blowjobabitch. Hmmm I wonder who thinks that corruption, influence peddling, payoffs in the millions, and lying under oath will bolster Obama's message. I see a huge zero in the national news regarding the Chicago/Illinois Machine investigations, The Rezko trial and his cooperation with Federal Investigators, will shed more light on how Obama got all that extra cash, as well as political support. Yep never mind, nothing to see here, all politicians are corrupt, so why should we pay attention to Obama's personal involvement. The double standard around here is nauseating. http://wizbangblue.com/2008/03/06/sen-obama-time-to-call-us-about-rezko-312-3212417.php

The are the A and B squads of the same fucking team, we are the opponent.

In other words you do not know what you stand for, and most likely are against a great many things.

USA,Party- Libertarian Faction- fiscal conservative /social moderate Legislation preferences-Pro-Entire bill of rights, pro-privacy, pro gun ownership, pro free speech, Pro Choice, Anti affirmative action, True Free Trade, In favor of cutting back most foreign aid. Energy policy- Petroleum for now, convert gasoline burning cars to Methane when possible, use Nuclear, Wind, Water, Solar, and Geothermal Energy for Electric, Hybrid and or electric cars, Hemp based fuels for Diesel operations. Recycled wood products for rural home heating, and or clean coal. Belief systems-Catholic (Non Practicing),

They're not racists, they're just taking affirmative actions to level the playing field. Seriously, if you look at actual voting statistics, you'll find that black voters admit that race was a factor in their voting decisions far more often than white voters--and that's just what they admit. If you examine the actual voting patterns, a caucasian is overwhelmingly more likely to vote for a non-caucasian than an african-american (for example) is to vote for a non-african-american, in races where there is a clear racial choice on the ballot. So, yes, I'm willing to say that, in voting patterns, blacks are significantly more "racist" (i.e. likely to be swayed by a candidates race) than whites. And I believe you would be correct, now just wait for the usual suspects to tell you how wrong you are, and that you should be ashamed for saying so. Or will they not choose to insult or chastise you for having greenie status. Once again, I see you can understand that regardless of what we wish people were like, this is what really happens.

Fair enough. How many times have you come into contact with law enforcement concerning you acting in self defense in which racist behavior is involved?Quote Seven total. It really is a shame that people choose to judge someone based upon how they look, and based upon that judgement, and use it as reason enough to attack someone.

None, other than self defense. Sorry if that does not comply with your own thinking of what I must be. What is it that people are called for the act of judging others that they do not know? How many times have you been arrested for prostitution? You have the physical requirements, and that should be enough by your standards to warrant such an accusation.

Translation - I don't give a fuck what you think, even if I posted it there would be those that say it does not matter, for it does not fit their own mindset.

No I am just pointing out that several times you have implied I am a racist, and yet you actually know ZERO about me. I get tired of hearing that crap from anyone. If you had experienced half the shit I have. just because of my appearance, you would be shooting people from a tall building by now. Have you ever been attacked for being a racist, just based on your looks? well have you? Did they try and kill you? Did people of different non white ancestry come running up to the police and tell them they saw everything, and that you started the assault? Did they? BTW if it were not for one fool who claimed I launched into a racially motivated assault, and captured it on video, I would have never been exonerated. He showed the tape, and the officer was about to arrest me, until the watch Sgt. rewound the video to the start Good thing honest men like Officer Bell, and Larry Elders are willing to look past what is said, and seek the truth.

Quade will be running along in a minute in a huge display of white guilt, and tell us all to not believe people such as Elders, who is merely a white conservative racist bent on undoing all that has been accomplished by affirmative action and the likes.

Just for the sake of argument, let's assume that 10% of any given population actually IS racist. Counting only the White vs Black numbers (*) 10% of 74% > 10% of 13.4% Unless you're willing to say that for some reason you think Blacks are significantly more racist than Whites. There was a study done just a few years back that actually proved it, IIRC it was a study started to show how racist whites were. The researcher was completely surprised by his own findings, and he was a black man as well. Link it so I can read it. Otherwise, I'll put that down as an urban legend. Find me a link that says you disagree with anyone you deem as less intelligent as yourself, and that those you deem less intelligent are the ones you disagree with. I will not go find your research for you, I know I read it in a newspaper article. Tough shit if you think it is not true. I am sure you know far more about what is in others hearts and minds anyways. That is why you are sure I am a racist, because you say so. Tough shit.

That spin is so great I'm surprised the author hasn't drilled himself into the ground. But kallend, it is from one of the liberal newspapers. the ComPost! Since 1993, it has been owned by Rupert Murdoch - well known liberal owner of FOX News. So? I wasn't aware that Murdoch was the managing editor of the rag. Those red herrings are starting to smell pretty bad, professor. His pockets are full of them
