Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip its been

Puppets? Grumpy old men?

Nah, he's a dogface. You must be thinking of Gomer Pyle, he was a Marine. (hmmmm, they do sorta......)

Richard Nixon? George Armstrong Custer? Winston Churchill?

Achmed, is that you?

Citizen Cain served two tours in Viet Nam in the Army and if I am correct, he was in the artillery, serving in a 155mm self-propelled howitzer. He told me this back in 1993, not as bragging, but in the course of normal conversation. He told me a story about a fire mission that I found so funny, I have been repeating it ever since. While he and I disagree on many issues, he isn't one to make up a service record or embellish what he did in the service. In fact, he rarely mentions his time in Vietnam or tells stories from that time, unless it fits into the conversation. I don't know this to

I take an AIDS test every now and then. I don't go to the doctor, I call my buddy Mike and ask, "Mike, you know anyone that has AIDS?.....No, cool, cause you know me."

Does this woman ever tell the truth? (I know, I know, there are plenty of others that I can ask the same question about) User Actions Follow Hillary ClintonVerified account‏@HillaryClinton We've seen a lot of hateful rhetoric from the GOP. But the idea that we'd turn away refugees because of religion is a new low. -H

I thought it was funny.

The good old days...or the great old men. From 1941 thru 1945, hundreds of thousands of young men (and women) voluntarily went into the military services. Most were between the ages of 16-20, a man of 23 was considered "an old man". These were not professional soldiers. (nothing wrong with professional soldiers) These were kids who saw that their country needed them and decided that it was worth fighting. Here is a brief synopsis of what 3 of these men at the ages of 17, 19 and 23, thought was worth making a stand about. Hint, there ain't no "safe place" in these stories, quite the op

Must have been that "tiger blood".

Wife's son was over there numerous times, the grandkid's mother just got back from there. Wife's nephew was there several times. Not to mention close friend's kids and grandkids. (sadly I know more about my wife's family than my cousins kids and grandkids, but there are less of the wife's family, while I have no idea how many cousins I even have, my mother had 11 brother and sisters and they all had kids, plus 12 cousins on my father's side)

Tell it to some who gives a......hoot. Hint: NOT ME

Thank you.That is my point. Now others may have personal knowledge about people that I do not have. By, personal knowledge, I mean they know because they were there. My posts were never about whether anyone should vote for Mr. Carmichael, they were solely about whether or not he was a good and decent man. I personally think he is. But voting is another issue and topic altogether.

That would depend on the specific situation. But in general, no.

Not sure what your point is, but...OK.

I disagree with some of what has been done and/or the way it was done. My questions to you would be: Do you know Mr. Carmichael personally? If not, have ever spoken with Mr. Carmichael, for more than a couple minutes, personally? I understand what your points and your issues. My question on that is, is it possible for someone to be doing what they honestly think is the best or correct thing to do and doing it in the correct or right way, yet be mistaken on both counts and still be a good and decent person? Short version of the question. Can a good and decent person try to do what

I am a gut kind of guy. (insert fat jokes here) Unless it involves a woman I am dating, my gut is usually pretty accurate about the people I meet. I do not claim to know Mr. Carmichael, I have only met him twice and if you added up the my time spent with him, it may total an hour and ten minutes. However, I do not think Mr. Carmichael is an evil man, I do not think Mr. Carmichael is a bad man. (my opinion) I think he is most likely an honest, decent good guy, who is truly doing what he thinks is the right thing to do for the citizens he represents and the citizens of our county. (again

Women. Can't live with em, can't deal em drugs.

True statement. If we fought WWII by the same rules and with today's whining liberal media, we would have never won that war. Allied forces attacked and killed allied troops, sunk allied ships and submarines, bombed allied forces and most often of all, killed enemy civilians It's a "freakin" war! That stuff happens in war. When American forces started rolling through German towns near the end of WWII, the citizens of that town placed a bed sheet in a window of their house, signifying that they had surrender. When our troops came across a house without a bed sheet in the window, they

I don't have to even try and understand your convoluted reasons for cowardice. The last person I would take advice on what to do about world politics, war or even local politics, is you.

If people can't tell the difference, then they are beyond my (and perhaps anyone's) help.

I think what he is trying to say is, let's wait until they are as strong as Germany in 1939 and then try and stop them. Check out this democratic candidate for the state senate in Minn.
