Did you serve? If you did, then you are a fool, if not, then you are a fool!


What rank were  you, how long were you in, and what did you do over your career. This is a cheap shot posting.

See c'mon, be a man and put up!

He's just here to annoy liberals and Democrats like a deer fly that just won't quit. Ignoring him is the best way to deal with him.

Enjoy the next four years Ken!

see a personal attack.

1. You never served.

2. You are annoying.

Where is the personal attack?

was sexist and unprovoked. Yes its true that people attack you personally all the time, but in this thread, no. And it rarely happens from the regulars anyway. Your comment was out of left field.

KenTX has spent so much time marginalizing himself around here, it comes as no surprise that his writing has sprawled off the page and onto his desktop. People of his political persuasion will wander in here, see Ken in action, second-guess their own situation and immediately become progressive liberals fa' life yo.

still look like a chump.

Your statement was uncalled-for.

You can try to explain it away but.....

you're not very convincing. That was a long time ago and Pear has been incredibly polite towards you for the intervening period. I'm no saint, don't get me wrong, but this seemed egregious to me. It killed what might have been a discussion about your "facts", but I dunno, I suppose that wasn't what you were after.

Let me just say that I find it amusing that you've *just discovered* that the military leans conservative. What a shock!

Now show me the internals that say whether there was a shift in the last 4 years and in what direction (if any). Then we can have a discussion. You may not like what you find.

I can think of no good explanation for his crazed outburst.  Oh wait, yes I can.

I let a newcomer and veteran know that Kotex never served in the military. AndI told his biggest secret--that his feelings are hurt most when he is ignored here (because he has no other "friends"?).

Some appear to have noticed that I have been exceptionally polite towards Ken for many many months. Not because his insults bother me, but because I prefer peace and am woman enough not to have to engage in pissing matches, most of the time. I was even sensitive enough to modify my first comment in the thread from saying that KTX was just a psychotic asshole, sort of like an evangelist wingnut minus the tempering influence of religion, to saying merely that he liked to annoy liberals and to ignore him.  But I do have my pride and reputation to maintain.

Now go ahead with the personal sexist attacks Kenny boy. I know you will have to have the last word, my cheeky little friend.

If you're creating wealth to put money in a 401K, you're no hero.

If you're creating wealth to give your kids an education, you're responsible, but no hero.

If you're creating wealth to pay your taxes, you're responsible and law-abiding, but no hero.

If you're creating wealth to give to charity, you may or may not be a hero, depending on the lifestyle you are living (i.e., amount of personal sacrifice).

But none of this compares to taking a bullet for someone else's freedom or shielding another from a grenade.

That's a true hero.
