Thoughts On War And The Military

Posted By Darian Rachal
One of the few legitimate responsibilities of the Federal government is to provide for the defense of the nation. However, I've long thought that "patriotism" and the glorification of the military are a bit "oversold". I find this to be a pretty interesting article by an individual with military experience. http://www.salon.com/2012/07/15/war_is_betrayal/

Interesting Sign In Texas

Posted By Darian Rachal
I was driving back from Temple, Texas the other day and saw a sign at a place selling business machines(IIRC) that caught my attention. It said "If things aren't adding up in your life, try subtracting". smile

Disenfranchised Genitalia?

Posted By Darian Rachal
Don't know how many of you caught the first segment of the Mark Levin Show today(9-5-12), but the part starting at the 9 minute segment is absolutely hilarious(IMO). Actually, I'd recommend listening from the beginning; he talks about Michelle's speech in his usual amusing style. The first 9 minutes actually lead up to the "disenfranchised" segment. 8O

Democrat or Republican?

Posted By Darian Rachal
This may be pretty old stuff, but I find it pretty much 'dead on'. It's supposedly from Jeff Foxworthy. I've never been a fan of his, but I find this amusing.

If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Democrats demand that those they don't like be shut down.

If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.

If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.

$750 billion in "Health Care" waste(Yearly)?

Posted By Darian Rachal
This seems to be the real problem regarding "health care" in the US. Somehow, I suspect this is a direct result of government "involvement". cwy
