His combat job was to drive one of those Higgins boats up on the shore. The captain unsealed their orders when the atomic bomb was dropped.

Now "Nurse Up" and quit complaining when someone is mean to you.<br /><br />There's going to be disagreement here. Sometimes heated disagreement. Just because you won doesn't mean it invalidates the other side's arguments. To quote Captain Mal Reynolds in Firefly - "May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."<br /><br />Sometimes people will go a tad too far and call names. My God I called Shiloh a "putz" of all things.

Secondly, there is a difference between discussing where we think the country is headed. Why we think so many people made such a big mistake. And why in the end it's all going to be a painful experience. Than whining because people are mean to you. <br /><br />Seriously grow up, woman.

Certainly you don't think anything. As to who is angry, I think you win on that count. Your anger is palpable and hasn't ebbed one bit even though your side won. How do you live with that much anger in your gut? It must be horrible.<br /><br />As to me I'm not angry. I was surprised. And am disappointed. From losing, yes, but mostly because in so many of my fellow Americans. <br /><br />But mostly I am resigned to our fate now. And planning - no working - to being in the best position I can when it arrives. The sooner the better I say, because it's going to take a LOT of pain to turn the country around. The Bush tax cuts should go. All of them. But they should also include doing away with the Hollywood tax cuts and deductions for home mortgage interest over $250,000. That will make sure all those blue states and rich liberals pay their fair share. Let the Sequestration go through too and lay off a few hundred thousand federal workers and contractors. Let the blue stat models die a angry,painful death when those public work pensions collapse.<br /><br />It will be tough, but though love is what people need now.<br /><br />Everyone gets their fair share. Of pain.TWMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06114010593299066911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-56587486354682544972012-11-12T10:02:37.402-06:002012-11-12T10:02:37.402-06:00TWM, the whining by you conservatives since the el...TWM, the whining by you conservatives since the election is worse than fingernails on chalkboard, don't you hear yourselves?
