Hey Dave, I forgot to ask if you read the editor’s note. That piece was written some three years ago. I may have been more extreme back then…remember??? LOL…I thought you might.

See you pal.

You gotta be kidding, Dave! If life is NOT what it seems, what then? [having a life crisis]

I’m way too dramatic? That’s the pot calling the kettle black. All I can say is, it takes one to know one, pal:) Yes. I’m dramatic. I make no apologies for that. I’m an extremist by nature. But I don’t always write that way. This one was intended to be dramatic. Makes for a more entertaining and engaging read. Sure, there’s a huge kernel of truth under it all, but it was written with a vaudeville flavor intentionally, for effect, and to drive home the point that supporting the troops while trying to separate out what it is they do, is kind of like saying, “support abortionists not abortions.” It’s complete and utter nonsense, which is pretty much exactly what I’ve come to expect from liberals, and they rarely disappoint me, buddy.

As for earning money with this blog. I’ve never made a dime off it. I blog for donuts over at Bloggersbase. Well…I used to anyway. Nowadays, I have no time for that. I’m doing good to keep up with my obligations here, let alone everything else. Anyway, just because I’m being extreme doesn’t negate my view, it also doesn’t mean I’m not being sincere. As I said, I was having fun with that piece. But you’d better believe that I meant every word.

Until next time, have a good one. Here’s hoping we can do lunch later this week. See you buddy.

For you BOTH!!!!!!!!! (a little bit of fact I keep feeding to Chad) Life IS NOT !!! what it seems.

Play the game, figure the game out, or be a pawn in the chess-game of life.

Do your own “math” to figure out what I am saying, if you don’t already know.

Dave “paid his dues” to find some things out…….he’s not paying yours.

Chad, you are way too dramatic………good salesman. Sorry I don’t “buy” your spiel. Support the troops ALWAYS !!!!!!!!! no matter the war is “worthy” (and sometimes it is). Many become our warriors by choice and desire…….many by the campaign the Gov’t sells them. That’s kinda’ like the sale the politician gives you…vote for me, I’ll = blah, blah, blah, .

They never do, never have. Good sales pitch though. You still believe politics is so important. OOps, I forgot, it’s a source of a dollar for you.

Undoubtedly, the “Iraq War” was a red herring the demoRats exploited to their own advantage. During the 8 years since we went into Iraq,the MSM seldom if ever reported the positive stories and contributions created by our presence in that region…The legacy continues. Albeit, mainstream media keeps an excellent tally of the casualties.

Obama: the WORST CIC since Carter.

I guess I should add that despite my obvious angst over the self refuting, no-think idea such messages impart, I do understand the sentiment of those who embrace them. I can even share the sentiment that war is a terrible thing. But unlike my libtard antimatter, I realize that war is sometimes necessary. I think even Obama realizes that as he continues his build-up of troops in Afghanistan and drags his heals on the promise to pull everyone out of Iraq. The latter item being drawn out into a rather lengthy affair. You have to wonder where the press is right now. I would say. But to give the press’s location would be inconsistent with our PG-13 rating. It is enough to say that one would need a proctologist to find them.

On a side note, do you find it interesting that Iraq has essentially become a non-issue since Bush Jr was dethroned? When was the last time you heard negative press on Iraq? It’s been quite a while hasn’t it. I think we both know the answer why.

Chad, your “rantings” made me think of my best friend Michael, a Semper Fi Marine Sgt. who joined the Army 3 years ago, because he was “too” old to get back in the Marines JUST so that he could actively serve ANYWHERE the country needed his skills, loyalty and courage.
His top choice: Iraq. Here’s a cool guy, business savvy, with as much zest for life as any breathing, hot-blooded American, with everything to look forward to. Still, this Marine couldn’t stand the thought of America being under attack. They say once a Marine, always a Marine. I guess it’s in your blood.
So far, he has not gone over there, but he knows that ‘chance’ is very much possible.

I can almost hear him [at the sight of that bumper sticker] exclaim, “That’s stupid!”

Well, he’d have much more to say, but that would be his first reaction.
