JW...why do you defend the Dems so vigorously? I'm just curious. Being a military spouse living in KY...probably having a gun or two in the house etc...why do you bash the Republicans at every turn? I just don't see you be an al queda supporting liberal.

Some of us have a varying views on a lot of things.

Army
I was just as rigid in my beliefs at one time as you are. I think a combination of age and experience does what it is supposed to do, causes us to "evolve".

I try to see the good in both parties. That's so hard to do these days because its such an obvious reality that the riff between our leaders is bringing us to destruction. In other words. We the people no longer exists. We are being destroyed from within, by the decisions of our leaders on both sides.

For anyone to say that democrats are supporting terrorists is an attack on Citizens of America. So I defend them because that is such an unfair view IMHO, and it throws me into a defense mode.

I have learned for every yin there is a yang, for every action there is a re-action, for every decision there is a consequence. It has taken me years to figure that out.( that decision has a consequence thing was a recent folly of mine) So its an on going process.

I try very hard to not pass judgment on people that I come in contact with if they are less fortunate, less educated, less anything. That is a hard one to conquer and I fail miserably sometimes. However the adage " WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES" has its place in society.
A bit of background on that is I had a mother that was the most negative, condescending , unforgiving, holier than thou, individual that I have met to this date. God rest her soul she took it to the grave. She was a miserable human being and made her daughter (me) the source of all of her misery. Hell I left her clutches when I was 14, and never wanted to be around her again.
Where I am going with this is ................ I have to wonder what it was like to walk in her shoes. Well I know part of it, but her youth, she didn't share with me.

You know that goes with our leaders also. I have no clue what it would be like in their shoes and I don't want to know.
Army, I probably more than most know EXACTLY the military take on things.
Just because I have evolved, doesn't mean I have forgotten.

I am getting totally off on a tangent now so I will shut up ( yeah riiight)

Buyer : no
yacht dealer : I cant sell you a yacht until you show me a card.

Hwy you and army are so cute. I just love this social intercourse that we have daily........................

The rich Kennedys are just republicans in democrat clothing. That way the laws passed by either party benefits them.


Here is another quote from your post
This legislation is a matter of fairness, says Kennedy, who acknowledges that hitherto he has supported "targeted tax cuts" targeted at people of modest means. But his proposal, as he explains it, is really sort of like that. The benefit of up to $2 million for each purchaser of a luxury yacht would benefit the nearly 6,000 Rhode Islanders working in the state's more than $1 billion-a-year boat-building industry, and workers elsewhere.

PRETTY DAMN SLICK I WOULD SAY......damn them slick willys.
I think you missed the point JW. The quote that you site is Kennedy claiming his projected benefits of his tax proposal. The reality was a loss of jobs for working class folks and a net loss in government revenues. That’s a lose-lose all the way around and Democrats still can’t learn from the mistakes made in the past about taxes.

socialism

My one wish is, is to live long enough, to see how a few folks on this board will "squeal" like PIGS if the crats have their way, and turn this country into a beautiful koooooolaid drinking socialist state, having the government tend to their every need. You rich people can share your money with me anytime. I'm old, you can pay for my health care, just keep going down the socialist path, that's all I ask. Soon all things will be gooooooooood.

I didn't understand your post Booger, but I miss stuff sometimes. anyway

The squeal video was just too emotional for me to post, it had a profound affect on me when I first saw the movie and nothing has changed. But it was a great movie.

YouTube - 'Deliverance' - 'Dueling banjos' scene
