POLITICAL THREAD
- Thread starter kybobcat
- Start date
I started a thread about it already, but I was at the Lexington airport last night, to greet the Honor Flight Veterans (mostly Vietnam but quite a few Korean vets as well), and I can't encourage you all enough, to get on the Kentucky Honor Flight website, look at the schedule, and try to go and greet them when they return. It was an unbelievable experience. Put the politics aside, and honor these folks. They deserve it, and their appreciation was palpable.
People lined up on both sides, for the entire length of the airport, with signs, flags, cheering on the veterans (especially the Vietnam vets, who were severly mistreated, in some cases, the FIRST time they came home) It's an extremely worthy cause to support; both financially and in person.

Just 4 you, LostinFL:
In Washington , D.C. an old priest lay dying in the hospital. For years he had faithfully served the people of the nation's capital and was well known among the elected officials. He motioned for his nurse to come near.
"Yes, Father?" said the nurse.
"I would really like to see President Biden and Senator Schumer before I die, "whispered the priest.
"I'll see what I can do, Father", replied the nurse.
The nurse sent the request to The President and Congress and waited for a response. Soon the word arrived; President Biden and Chuck Schumer would be delighted to visit the priest.
As they went to the hospital, Biden commented to Schumer , "I don't know why the old priest wants to see us, but it will certainly help our images and might even get me re-elected." Schumer agreed that it was a good thing.
When they arrived at the priest's room, the priest took Biden's hand in his right hand and Schumer's hand in his left hand. There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest's face.
Finally President Biden spoke. "Father, of all the people you could have chosen, why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?"
The old priest slowly replied, "I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

They know where their bread is buttered. If you want to be a Republican now you have to kiss the king's ring and ass.
No...Zero evidence at all that the FBI instigated Jan 6th. That's ridiculous and hardly even worth addressing honestly. I don't entertain tin foil hat conspiracies.
FACT FOCUS: Federal agents didn't orchestrate Jan. 6
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection poked another hole in the pro-Trump conspiracy theory that federal agents orchestrated the attack, confirming on Tuesday that a man at the center of the claims said he’d never been an FBI informant.

Newly released Jan. 6 footage does not show a federal agent flashing his badge while undercover
Social media users — including members of Congress — seized on a clip they claimed proved that undercover federal agents participated in the riot.

No...Pelosi didn't turn down National Guard, she and Pence actually called the Pentagon asking for NG help.
Pence — not Trump — asked Guard troops to help defend Capitol on Jan. 6, panel says
The accusation was among multiple findings from the panel charged with investigating the lead-up and response to the attempted insurrection.

Pelosi did not block the National Guard from the Capitol on Jan. 6
On Tuesday, a false claim about the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol resurfaced suggesting that Pelosi blocked the National Guard from coming to lawmakers’ defense during the insurrection at the Capitol.

Biden mocked for apparent small showing of supporters in Dem city: 'Nobody cared'
President Biden was criticized on social media for video footage showing an apparent small showing of supporters greeting his motorcade as it drove through Atlanta.
Wrong on every level the chick with the Johnson though
This crash with the Iranian president is fishy as all get out fog or not.

And no admission at all by Biden or Kirby or Blinken that anything went wrong,and no accountability for anyone.
Wasn't so hard, now was it?
Although still no positive comment towards any gop member except yourself, mitch.

When I came back from a deployment, the base made a big to-do for several of us. NFL cheerleaders signing autographs and a line of Vietnam vets to greet us after coming off the stage. Several of the vets embraced me for several minutes, we were all in tears. All I could tell them was "thank you. God Bless you and i'm so sorry you didn't get this on your return. I'm grateful you're here."
Another time, we showed up for a fallen soldier return. Hundreds of us on the street, saluting as the cars went by. I remember seeing the wife and his family waving to us all and they were overcome with tears as well. Extremely touching.
I suggest everyone go to a combat zone sometime in their life, somewhere else in the world. It makes you very grateful for what we have, and what we had. That is why it pisses me off so much to watch people who benefit from being US citizens, cavalierly throw it away.
I have mixed emotions on all of that. I don't share SOME younger folks' sentiment about this country, but, sort of what you said; I think they have no perspective of just how good we have it here, and that isn't entirely their fault. It's the fault of society, that hasn't PROVIDED that persepective.
I'd be much more amenable to student loan forgiveness if a period of civil service was attached to it. Not necessarily the military (but that would count), but some manner of humanitarian service etc.

Oh you definitely have it. If it was a terminal disease you wouldnt last a year.
why? so senseless. i can’t imagine not complying with cops who have a gun trained on me.
i’m sure it was related to drug and mental state. i believe 99/100 cops dread the thought of ever shooting anyone.
i know of a cop who had to fatally shoot a perp and it really messed him up for a long time.

Cops do NOT want to shoot anyone (unless they're batsh*t)
Even if it's fully justified, they are IN for it. The endless investigations, administrative leave, hearings, IAA interviews, redtape, protesters, bad press, family harassment, etc. etc. would be an absolute NIGHTMARE (and rightly or wrongly, you're going to have a stigma attached to you for the rest of your career, more than likely. Meaning, your advancement probably gets a hard "ceiling' slapped on it.)

One of my tours of duty as a military cop was in Turkey ((late sixties). They came to our base (and I think many others) and offered us immediate honorable discharges if we would sign contracts to come home and be a cop at numerous big cities of our choice. Not one cop on our base said yes. The late sixties was a bad time to be a cop, but today is worse.

for some reason this energizes me.
but i still just sit here drinking beer.

Can't we just somehow consolidate all of these phobias?

A phobia is a fear of something. I do not fear any of the lgbtq+ crowd. Phuck em!
That is rather striking. His appearance, mannerisms, clarity of speaking, voice… all quite different from other appearances. Really bizarre.
you can be anti-war and support the Americans willing to put their life on the line. Who wants war less? The lib with zero appreciation of the enemy, or the troop that has to leave their life, their family, their kids, not knowing if they will ever see them again?
I thought a genius like you shouldve known that. However, in reality, you are just an ungrateful piece of shit.
Most of those men got pulled from their everyday lives and didn’t have a choice but to go.
But you know this.
What's that have to do with anything? They were either Conscripted or volunteered service.
I thought you were pro government jobs program? What you think the military is?
Has sam tried to splain this away yet?When you ignore all the white noise and boil it all down... here's all you need to know:
I don't believe in "blanket" statements about war, but Honor Flights are not ABOUT war per se. It's about honoring folks that had to (or CHOSE to) serve.
That's a pretty horrible take on a great and honorable event that I shared. Seriously... WTF?
You'd have probably been at the San Francisco airport, spitting on soldiers as they processed back stateside from SE Asia, and I'd have been the one knocking your stupid chiclets out. (I'd have gladly served the jail time for doing so) LOL

Be careful, bc if you say yes, then you are calling all of the aggrieved Communities liars. YOU are saying they are wrong. If you say no, then i can say no, i dont believe your bullsit either.
So we should be glorifying it in a big celebration? Honor Flights are a charity that takes donations and uses them for propaganda, not to help veterans. Didn't take him for the type to favor lip service over action. But honestly now that I think about it it does fit, he's a blowhard who loves that kind of gauche crap.
Sad Cold War BS. Does cheering carpet bombing make you feel strong, clown?
You literally could not be more off base about this.
I mean, you're almost universally wrong on here, but this is absurd. So, do me a small favor, with respect to this issue, and just keep your mouth shut about it. Please...
Granted, I posted this on the political forum and so I can see where I might have opened the door to politicizing it. I regret that now, deeply.

Says the guy taking time out of his day to attend a rally. You go to the Trump tractor pulls too?
You are a terrible, ungrateful, spoiled trash of a person. And i am keeping it civil.
How much do your parents still subsidize you?
Dion. I have no problem with those who partake of the weed. But you shouldn’t drink the bong water.
Hell , who is going to ask if the media will accept it?
It’s all a carefully thought out scheme. Because they plan to steal it again. Notice how often the media uses the same talking points as they did in 20. They’re gonna steal it and throw anybody in jail who calls it out. This is what Marxists do.
But it is your side what is interested in revisiting the Cold War, and perhaps even making it a hot one. For example, one of the most prolific Lefties here is constantly wailing about "appeasement" as if Russia was Nazi Germany or something. 🙄
