There are always a few who bucked the trend...and those conservatives were at least a generation before the numbnuts who are there now.

Spin it how you want...today's Harvard has gone the way of their 'other' graduates like Al Gore, the Kennedys, the O-man, ....and oh...Chuckie Schumer :lol: :lol: :lol:

Don't tell me you're shipping DD off to Cambridge to play softball?

Oh, okay! I see...

...you must have served after they repealed "don't ask". Qualifications after the repeal were rather 'loose'.



To set the record straight-

I "retired" in 2001 after 14 years including stint in the reserves. This does not include my 2 yeas as a cadet when i went to Airborne school(without being paid)

During my time in I was a rifle platoon leader, an 81mm mortar platoon leader, an executive officer and a detachment commander. I have seen many posers and wannabees such as yourself that if they ever did serve(doubtful) it was usually in the rear with the gear as a REMF. If you want to know my political leanings- I am true and true Republican.

What concerns me about guys like you Joe- is that you sit there in your double-wide and blame the whole world for your problems- your no better than some of the liberal-weenies i know except they blame it all on the conservatives

This country is what it is because of the exchange of different and contrary ideas- I may not agree with everyone's idea's, but I am and was willing to fight for that right. There is a thing from sales training I heard once that you should listen to Joe, "God gave you two ears and only on mouth for a reason- you should listen more than you talk."

Soooo....let me get this straight??? When they repealed "don't ask" did you ask for re-instatement and 'backside' pay? Do they have docs at the VA who are able to tighten loose ends? Did you get a purple heart for taking one for the Gipper?

Joe I am worried about you- when that facts don't support you or you feel threatened you go right to the homophobic remarks- is there something you are hiding or covering up? Don't worry Joe, you can talk to us. We are here for you....

Live in Oklahoma. My DD is an honor student and scored high on her ACT. She's getting offers from TONS of schools in the midwest. In fact, NOT A KID on her team has taken the SAT. NO ONE around here takes the SAT.

BTW, Texas sucks!!!
