    Interesting. I can do that with friends.
    And if we should die tonight
    Then we should all die together
    Raise a glass of wine for the last time
    Calling out father, prepare as we will
    Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
    Desolation comes upon the sky..

    You've pulled me a little in the libertarian direction i must admit. But i think people come here primarily for amusement.

    Subs were vilified when they first came out,

    But I don't know why drones are worse than manned aircraft. Can someone explain?

    Not all my friends like to talk about politics. I get what you're saying and I admit my views have been altered. Nothing is impossible, you may even convince me that libertarianism is workable one day...maybe.

    Democrats hide under the bed when confronted with their Dear Leader being a murderer.
    All presidents are murderers. I accepted that long ago. All of them do things to make themselves look good/better.

    It is despicable to have such a policy. I am not surprised, however.

    I live in a hard-core, blood red area. If you talk politics, you will encounter more people who believe Rush is the second son of God than read a newspaper. I don't fit the mold of the little ole repub lady from Alabama. This place is safer!

    An evil, bought state making it's own evil, illogical justifications for murder. That's exactly what's going down here, to a T.

    But the idiots will cry that we hate America or we blame America first when a retaliation hits and we merely point out the obvious.
