Hello from a creepy old dude.

[The Xl]

I agree with you on the death penalty, btw.

But Murica likes seeing people fry. Even innocent ones, no one cares that the justice system is $#@!ed and "innocence" or "guilt" is largley based on race and/or socioeconomic status

Oh, btw - I'm a moderate conservative myself.

It's the RINO effect - if you're not a "somewhere right of the pope" conservative then you're a RINO, libtard, lefty, etc.

The way I look at it, I'm secure with my political standpoint, they're clearly not - so much that they have to redefine mine. Sort of a political penis envy.

What is that?

Say i am at a stoplight.

The Democrat hits the gas and ignores the light.
The conservative sees the red light and comes to a complete stop.

Maybe the moderate ignores the light and just cruises through but slower, more moderate.

I don't know what the $#@! is moderate when it comes to government.

It is like

Right vs wrong

How can you be partly right and partly wrong at the same time?

(I flipped you the bird as I stole your money, but I am partly right to flip you off?????)

What is done by Government is put down on paper.

Even if the citizens says I am moderate, that in no way changes what is on paper. That is what you find as you enter courts of law. They don't give a $#@! you say moderate when they go by what is down on paper.

The term radical means nothing at all. It does not translate into government.

That's a stupid analogy.

But it fits your pint-sized, simplistic political views so go with it.

Welcome.

You're not the only creepy old dude here though.

We have our share of creepy dudes. They span all age groups.

I used to be a moderate conservative, and still think of myself as a moderate conservative, but for some reason I am apparently now a flaming liberal.

I was born a long time ago. Growing up, we had a party line. If you don't know what that is, ask your grandpa. I remember us having an icebox, until I was went to school. That year, we got a used Shelvadore. This is what it looked like:

Attachment 8209

I'm generally affable, and will admit to occasional snark. I like guns, I grew up on a farm up in the Appalachians, I used to support the death penalty, but not any more. Too many innocent people on death row.

Creepy old dude is what my wife called me the first time we met. I was 26, she was 15. I was bowling with some friends, when she walked in with some of her friends. I took one look at her, and was entranced. I guess I did a lot of staring. After a while, she came over to berate me for staring at her, and all I could say in return was "My God, your voice is just as beautiful as your smile, and that's as beautiful as your eyes." That's what she tells me, anyways. I don't remember anything but how good she looked and sounded. But, we've been together since All In The Family was in it's first season. And we got married before its third season ended.

Welcome.

Right

The cops just need work so they look around and say

Hey, there is one

Let's chase him down for the hell of it so he can go to jail

Meantime the Jury does the same

Sure

YUP, we all believe that.

[CreepyOldDude]

Welcome.

You're not the only creepy old dude here though.

Somehow, I didn't think I would be. Thanks.

[CreepyOldDude]

You went out with her when you were 26 and she was 15? You didn't even wait until 18, or at least 17?

Take a seat, homie.

What else would you expect a creepy old dude to do?

[Captain Obvious]

...wait

SLH sock?

Who wants to bet?
