Commander-in-Chief? LOL! Commander-in-Chump!
Obama got booed yesterday by the military when he tried to explain why he is stalling so long on General McChrystal's troop request for Afghanistan. I guess real Americans know a liberty stealing Commie when they see one!
I would never join the military under this unprincipled fool. His dithering would get me killed! |

According to our overlords, US citizens have it too good. Nothing will assuage their guilt so well as to destroy the economy in an effort to "level the playing field" with nations who's own economies are stifled by socialism and/or dictatorship.

It's a sad commentary on the state of conservatism and the Republican party when the female conservatives (Bachmann, Coulter, Malkin) have more balls than many of the males. The women are leading the way, I just hope the men have the guts to follow them. |
|
I didn't realize Obama was booed (wow, really?)but the sailors posed behind him when I glanced briefly at the speech didn't look too happy to be there. Interesting how a lack of respect can be shown in so many subtle ways, something I never ever saw from the troops when Bush was in office.
Our youngest son was seriously considering enlisting in the USMC but after Obama was elected he regretfully told the recruiter he could not in good conscience serve under Obama.
Our oldest son is a Marine vet now, and is grateful Bush was his CiC.
We need to keep those young men and women in prayer, as their commanding officers are at this point very nearly the only thing standing between them and complete demoralization. |

A couple of days ago, I saw a photo of Soetoro with his Secret Service detail. The look of contempt on the faces of the Secret Service was unmistakable. |

You are already "Dead"! That is a Western Civilization thought you are expressing. It is also why, the "Terrorist" feel they can win. This is a war of ideologies, as much as anything else. "Dumb As Americans", like yourself, are not intelligent enough to understand or evaluate these wars, so please be quiet. Your enemies have resolved the issue of "Death", while you are trying to "Debate" it. War,like sports, is about commitment! You don't sound COMMITTED! Those who are afraid to "Die", can never truly "Live"! Is this the America, you want to show the World? Cowards like you? Any excuse, not to serve, will not do...Sir! |

The federal deficit is only the tip of the iceberg. The obligations of social security and medicare for the baby boom generation are going to drown us.
The only recent politician with the guts (or naivete) to address this was Bush, and he ended up making it worse with the outrageous medicare drug benefit handout (that few conservatives criticized).
Convervatives want to blame Obama. Everyone else wants to blame Bush and Reagan. The problem is too big for one party to have caused.

that in 2010 there was a conservative sweep. I could feel hot flames of fire racing at my back as the House repealed the previous Congress' legislation and restated Article 10, then sang "Spill the wine. Take that pearl." I attribute this to the odd mix of rather strong pseudo-narcotics they gave me for back spasms. |

richly deserves. He's demonstrated over & over this year that he can't be trusted. Our Warriors know it. His inaction is ALL he needs to say.
How horrifyingly, loathsomely sad. |
|
Arthur Laffer was on Beck last night and said he could fix the problems we face in a long weekend. He said repeal repeal repeal. Get rid of over regulation etc.
So, starting in 2010 - let's start electing cons and by 2020 things should be under control and going the right way.
There will be wailing, gnashing of teeth, name calling, demonstrations, and plenty of video of horrible horrible results of not wasting money but we should just ignore it. The Left will never be happy. We have the fattest poor people in the world who own cars, tvs, cable and jewelry. We have nothing to apologize for. |

"The Left will never be happy. We have the fattest poor people in the world who own cars, tvs, cable and jewelry. We have nothing to apologize for."
God I love the truth! |

Go read some of the Huffington Post comments, you would they are entitled to everything. That Healthcare is something bestowed onto them by Lord Obama, great seer and prophet to us all.
Ask them if they are going to tell their children and grandchildren in the future why they are being taxed so hard on their paychecks and you I guarantee you will get no response.
More of the cyberspace blank stare... |

"The Left will never be happy. We have the fattest poor people in the world who own cars, tvs, cable and jewelry. We have nothing to apologize for. "
While out of town this weekend my spouse and I drove through one of the many public housing projects in this country. These were duplex properties and 90% were equipped with a satellite dish. Each had at least two cars parked in front that were far newer than what we drove when we were putting our kids through college. One had 3 pretty pricey motorcycles parked in the driveway. Yes we really must redistribute more. I am sure those duplexes only had 2 bathrooms and you know how difficult that must be to live with. |

"OBAMA BOOED BY MILITARY Commander-in-Chief? LOL! Commander-in-Chump!"
I have the misfortune to live in JAX a goodly part of the year because I have something called a "Wife" I'd prefer to live full time on my WVA farm. Oh, well . . .
I didn't hear about the booing. Who did it, when and where?
I did make it a point to talk with about a dozen or so junior sailors this morning when I visited the Navy Federal Credit Union and the Navy Exchange.
I asked the sailors what they thought of the CinC's visit. Not so very good, Buccaneer. Four laughed about his visit like it was a joke. Two said he sounded phony and others just didn't think much of his visit, i.e., were not impressed. One of those not impressed was a black sailor -- very young looking.
I asked junior sailors because I have a pretty good idea what the majority of chiefs and officers think of obama -- nothing good.
Think I'm going to go to the Fleet Reserve Club tonight and see what the retired sailors think. I think I already know what I'll hear there -- nothing politically correct. |

Happy Navy Day, shipmate!
Think it's time for you to man up like Eddie Albert and drag that woman off to the farm caveman style. If Eva Gabor can hack it, your wife can..... |

"Our youngest son was seriously considering enlisting in the USMC but after Obama was elected he regretfully told the recruiter he could not in good conscience serve under Obama."
My grandson asked me a few months ago what I thought about him joining the Corps when he graduated from HS.
I told him I thought a tour of duty in any service was normally a good thing and would teach him leadership skills that would be a boon for the remainder of his life.
I also told him that the many of those on his mother's (my) side of the family had served since the Revolutionary War and that at least four had enjoyed a very successful career: Two Army; One USAF; One Navy.
I then told him that I'd rather he not join any service for a few years. He asked why. I told him I had no confidence in obama as CinC and that I suspected he and the present congress would inject a lot more politics into the military than is now there.
I told him I'd help him join the Merchant Marine if he wanted to do that as an unlicensed seaman, fireman or whatever. I also told him that various states and the US had Merchant Marine academies if he was interested in a licensed position, i.e., officer.
I never thought I'd ever advise someone not to join the service! |
|
|
It could be done. Fire the sitting congress and replace them with leaders who're prepared to deregulate, defundand end subsidies. Who'll pass tort reform and radical tax reform (the Fair Tax). Sigh. |
|
Think it's time for you to man up like Eddie Albert and drag that woman off to the farm caveman style."
I'm not very smart, but I'm not an idiot! She is a small woman, but is FLAT mean when pushed.
She lived in Vietnam during my first tour in Vietnam and she loved it -- then Winter came!
West Virginia fell off the A list. . .

My better half is just the opposite, she can't stand going to California. It is home to two of our sons, she doesn't like all the traffic and the smog. She feels at home on the ranch. |

... it kinda fits with the Obambi got laughed at thread going on here:
It don't matter...
... Kathleen is right, Arianna Huffington is the same kind of anti-war code pink nimrod that betrayed us in Viet Nam and Obama is cut out of the same cloth. What ever he does as commander in chief of the most powerful and benevolent military force on the planet will probably at best be abysmally stupid. He has set several precedents such as pulling the plug on the F-22. The Russian built SU-27, an airplane made from so much stolen American technology that our pilots call it the F-15ski is almost universally bought and used by all the worlds bad guys. It was instantly obsoleted the day they rolled out the first production F-22. Boy wonder calls the F-22 a "cold war dinosaur" and kills it. Not to mention showing Irans Achmadinanutjob and Russias Putin that we mean them no harm by kicking allies in the teeth and cancling a defensive ABM system. Russia and China are doing military build ups and boy wonder wants to cut ours to pay for "free" healthcare. When the politically ignorant voted "The One" into office I thought "this is going to be bad". The next mourning when I saw a bunch of brain dead campus lefties flying the flag of the old soviet union in front of White House I thought "this is going to be worse than I ever imagined". Every day the downward spiral becomes steeper and the threat to our liberties more dire. Those who defend this cretin, his administration, his maoist "zcars" and puppet master congress may one day look back in tears when they realize what they've squandered for a gub'ment hand-out.

"It’s hard to deny that a big contributor to this astronomical deficit was the $700-billion bank bailout program (known as TARP) passed back in October of 2008."
That would be the bailout that President Bush and his administration assured us we had to have or else the entire economy would collapse, right? |
|
"Obama got booed yesterday by the military when he tried to explain why he is stalling so long on General McChrystal's troop request for Afghanistan. I guess real Americans know a liberty stealing Commie when they see one!"
Totally false - a lie. Fortunately for all of us, real Americans know filthy right-wing lies when they see them. After all, there have been an awful lot this year. |

I have longed for the fifty acres around Basye for years now, and She Who Must be Obeyed agrees but with stipulations: no snakes, no bears, no mosquitos, and a shopping mall next door. |
|
"She lived in Vietnam during my first tour in Vietnam and she loved it -- then Winter came!
West Virginia fell off the A list. . ."
Sheeeeez! She lived in West Virginia not Vietnam!
I sometimes foul up like a Big Dog!
Cowboy: Sounds like you have the right sort of wife for a fellow who lives on a ranch. My wife is excellent in all respects, except that she hates cold WX of which West Virginia has quite a lot. (Nothing like your area though!)
|
|
Ok, I surrender . . . where is Basye?
Your wife wouldn't like my place -- I hate snakes and have a grunch of them -- mostly blacksnakes, but a few copperheads. No rattlers in my area -- yet! (Hey, .22 supershot sure kills snakes -- take a chunk out of one the size of a quarter!)
Got a stealth bear -- or maybe bears. I see their tracks and their markings on trees, but never seen the bears. (Bet they have seen me!)
Got lots of wild kitties, one panther seen and heard (I don't care what the Natural Resources say -- lots of folks see panthers in WVA.) and a host of other wild animals. Nearest mall is about 20 miles away. |

... who said conservatives were tickled pink over Bushes free spending? Besides it was retards like Barny Frank who're arguably responsable for the housing melt down anyway. And how is it the fed can get away with spending money when they're broke and up to they're eye balls in hock? Sure would be nice if I could do that. |
|
time in local casinos!
Ferrell those are the Captain Obumbles voters, they just echo HIS refrain: me, myself, and I!
|
|
"... who said conservatives were tickled pink over Bushes free spending?"
Just sayin. Remember, we're at Town Hall, where Barack Obama is responsible for the deficit and the Coconut Grove fire and everything else.
"Besides it was retards like Barny Frank who're arguably responsable for the housing melt down anyway."
Arguable by illiterate ideologues, I suppose, but not true. |
|
|
The benefit of marrying the girl next door, she is used to the cold, and Exeye mine can shoot snakes, bears and is not a mall-aholic. |
|
|
you're right about the housing meltdown, it wasn't SOLELY barney frank; rather it was "affirmative action" lending...conceived and perpetuated by democrats and encouraged by the previous administration |
|
So, your kid isn't very patriotic, not going into the military because of who is president. Guess the country isn't worth that much to him.
What clowns you all are. |
|
"t was "affirmative action" lending...conceived and perpetuated by democrats and encouraged by the previous administration."
Sorry, that's very wrong. To believe that, you have to believe that the world financial system was sailing along in fine, robust shape, until some poor Americans defaulted on their mortgages. That's not what happened. |
|
|
I haven't figured that out yet. It's next to Massanutten on the Virginia side, south of Woodstock. Hear ya, Big, and I've got her out shooting trap with me now. She's getting a big charge out of it. Uses a Savage .20 side by side and, eventually, I'll point out that works rather well on snakes. Little problematic for bears but, hey, bought her a M1 carbine, too. |
|
"I never thought I'd ever advise someone not to join the service!"
Boy, you people aren't loyal to the United States at all, are you? Just to your own fringe, 20% wingnut political ideology. Lose an election, and you throw a hissy fit. I guess it's too much to expect patriotism from radical right-wingers. |
|
|
... Frank's on tape harassing regulators who tried to warn about fannie and freddie. He also pushed for increased sub-prime lending and was one of the brainiacs who cooked up bundling sub-prime loans (read loans to people who could not pay the money back) and selling them as securities in order to bilk even more people out of their hard earned money. And he was on one of the talking head shows saying fannie and freddie were sound as dollar just weeks before the market cratered. (Sound as a dollar, what a joke that phrase has become) He may not be solely responsable but he sure tried. He is a retard, his hands are dirty and although he's never run a business he wants to dictate how much to pay people who do run them. Try hiring the best and brightest to breath life into American businesses and pay them peanuts. Get ready for 25% unemployment. |
|

How can you tell when an Airplane, is about to Crash? It Sputters! Lying about the President, represents how the Conservative movement is "Sputtering". I am listening for the "Crash". It was a very short flight... |
|
|
Ignore the idiots. No if I had the chance now I would not encourage my child or grandchildren to serve under this administration. Too late for me as mine is career military. I laugh at these buffoons who claim we are not patriotic. What we are not is stupid. The majority of our soldiers are committed to freedom. Why in the world would they sign up to follow a man like Obama who is doing his best to destroy our freedoms. Most of those fine young and woman believe in the country they grew up in, not the one that Obama and his minions are hellbent on creating. |
|
|
Frank is not a retard, he is corrupt he is a liar, my son is a down syndrome, and I hate that someone tries to compare my son to that piece of crap. |
|
Don't insult me by posting me. I lost all respect for you last summer when you called me a liar and didn't have the cojones to tell me to my face as I offered to let you do.
Coward!
I think I contributed my bit to the United States with 34 years in the Navy followed by 13 in the Merchant Marine. I don't owe a person like you a damned thing -- you, who probably dodged the draft.
I think it stupid to sent to a kid to war under the command of a person so totally unqualified to be CINC as obama and the vast majority of those on his staff!
I believe we should pull ALL our troops out of both war zones before he gets them all killed with his pi$$ing and moaning around! |
|
|
It don't look like the country is worth much to you either. You voted for obama, a liar and an ultimate loser, rather than voting for a war hero who proved his courage dozens of times. |
|
|
Two of a kind. Both try to brag about their importance but we all pretty much know that they are nothing more than misfits to society that are only important in their own minds. |
|
Great post, sailorman.
There can be no compromise with a pretender like Obama; the Siamese Cat Who Walks Like a Man;
We can't expect American volunteers on the firing line to serve behind such a farce named their CIC, when they already know his aim is to render in vain all their comrades in arms died for. |
|
Sadly, as a parent you do what you can. Remember though, if he/she chooses to volunteer, it isn't about who is President. It IS about the kid serving something bigger. He may not know it, but he feels it. And by the time he's done getting trained, you'd have to kill him to make him quit. Just a thought.
And Skep, just S*TFU already. I am sick of your screeching. |
|
"...and was one of the brainiacs who cooked up bundling sub-prime loans (read loans to people who could not pay the money back) and selling them as securities in order to bilk even more people out of their hard earned money."
No, sorry, that's totally wrong. It was the big banks who figured out how to securitize mortgages and magically make them worth 20 or 30 times what they really were - and declare them "risk free," no less - and that is what caused the whole problem.
I'm not letting Barney or any other Democrats off the hook, but in 2003-2006, everybody was begging to get some of these magic mortgages and Barney just went along like everybody else in the world. |
|
world...that will go a long way to balancing the budget.
Oh, and Brad, Obama did not get booed, and George Will said that Cheney should have 'dithered' more. |
|
"as I offered to let you do."
That's baloney.
"I think I contributed my bit to the United States with 34 years in the Navy"
That doesn't give you a pass to be disloyal to your country afterward.
"I think it stupid to sent to a kid to war under the command of a person so totally unqualified to be CINC as obama"
You express that opinion by voting, not by being unpatriotic after you lose. You are supposed to be loyal to the COUNTRY, not to republican administrations and the tiny fringe of the country that is as right-wing as you are. |
|
crybaby Libs threaten and berate banks into lending money to everyone for homes that they may not be able to afford. They use the full force of the federal govt to achieve this worker's paradise.
Banks say, "OK" and start doing it. The banks then start loaning to fatcat builders who want to build shopping center after shopping center on top of shopping centers that are only a few years old. This is in addition to bad loans for homebuyers.
Naturally, the fatcats and the home buyers run out of money and the banks whine to the govt about it. The govt says, "Don't worry, we'll reimburse you and if you'd like to show gratitude to individual pols, well..."
So the banks, with a no-lose situation, start loaning out MORE money to people who won't pay it back.
Meanwhile, from Carter thru W we're all told to keep buying and "invest" in a home because, after all, homes will ALWAYS appreciate in value. This is the idea behind homeowner society.
It's been a fluffy giant pretty bubble that burst. |
|
Remember when I told you I'd meet you one-half way between where I live in WVa and WASHDC, on U.S. 50? A distance of, maybe 50 miles? That was in, I believe, early June 2009. (I'm sure others will remember it because some mentioned it in later posts.)
And you said I was threatening you? I told you I was not threatening you, but giving you a chance to tell me to my face that I was a liar.
No, Coward, you can call people liars hiding behind your keyboard, but you won't to a person's face.
Like I said, Blowhard, I don't own you one damned thing and care absolutely NOTHING about what you might think about anything.
Obama and the vast majority of his staff are culls and I don't want kids killed by his indecision and their ignorance of how the real world works.
Disloyal? Because I have absolutely any trust in the current occupant of the White House and have absolutely no faith in his ability to perform as CinC? Not bloody likely, Buccaneer! If I am, then about one-half of the United States is disloyal, including a pretty fair part of the military. Two news articles over the weekend reported morale doing down in Afghan., I told somebody (Vald?) that would happen a few months ago.
'nough said. Don't bother to post to me again. I take anything you say as a possible lie and an insult.
FYI: Losing an election has nothing to do with it. I've voted for both democrats and republicans. I just won't vote for a, elitist cull.
|
|
"you can call people liars hiding behind your keyboard, but you won't to a person's face."
Hiding behind my keyboard? That's a laugh. Is your name really "Seadog?"
"Disloyal?"
About 5-6 years ago, there were several times when anti-Iraq-War types protested and formed picket lines outside recruitment offices. They were trying to keep high school kids from going in.
You are EXACTLY as patriotic and loyal to the country as they were. Think about that. |
|
"crybaby Libs threaten and berate banks into lending money to everyone for homes that they may not be able to afford."
You really need to step outside the right-wing echo chamber from time to time. The big banks weren't "threatened." Totally to the contrary, they were BEGGING for more mortgages. This has been thoroughly documented. It was the investment banks, not the government, who kept lowering the bar for mortgages. They had their magic formulas that changed a $300K mortgage into a $9 million "risk-free" asset, and they were pressuring smaller banks and real estate agents to sell more houses, didn't matter to whom. |
|
Notice you didn't say anything about my offer to meet -- just a pile more of Bravo Sierra.
I doubt that your name really is what you say -- any a$$ can write and post a resume.
But, I am taking a chance that it is and getting in contact with some folks who should know you. I think I know five who worked in your organization, a couple in the area of communications/electronics and a couple in Ballistics. I know five, maybe seven of 'em -- you might have been gone when I knew the last two, which I don't know well anyway.
I really want to find out if you are a big an a$$ and blowhard as you seem when you post. You seem to believe you are witty. Witty? With the schoolkid remarks you post that have nothing to do with posts in progress.
Offer to meet still stands, for next summer. Pick an area along U.S. 50.
Do hillbillies carry a grudge? Damn right they do when folks call them names such as SOB, liar, etc. |
|
It takes a really stupid person to use his own name on a site such as TH, or an overly educated cretin.
Using your own name might get you in trouble if somebody takes offense at your Bravo Sierra . . . |
|
Out of time to mess with you, Nunck. Gotta run.
Let me know about next summer. . . |
|
|
during the 1970's the savings and loans were getting crunched and lobbied hard for Congress to loosen the regulations. Congress agreed but, in return, the banks had to lend to crybaby Liberal congresspeople's constituents. |
|
Barney just went along?... Nevermind his former lover was CEO at Fannie (or was it Freddie? But Fannie fits the butt pirates better). And nevermind that just a couple months ago he was telling FHA to 'loosen up' on Condo loans. I think the first time he said, "everything is fine, we need to just roll the dice."
Nevermind that FHA is about to have its own horror flick called "Subprime II, the sequel". It may be scarier than the first.
Dodd did doo-doo too. Thanks to his trist with Countrywide got him a free house in Ireland, well almost free...
All brought to you by the Dems, who are all for NINJA loans to make sure even the poor have a house they cannot afford.
|

"Notice you didn't say anything about my offer to meet"
Sorry, I'm not 10 years old. If you're having doubts about your masculinity, go test it somewhere else.
"I doubt that your name really is what you say -- any a$$ can write and post a resume."
Check all you like. There's stuff out there by me going back 25-30 years.
"It takes a really stupid person to use his own name on a site such as TH"
Or an honest person.
"Damn right they do when folks call them names such as SOB, liar, etc."
Of course you do that all the time, but you're hiding behind a fake name. |
|
"Sorry, I'm not 10 years old. If you're having doubts about your masculinity, go test it somewhere else."
It has nothing to do with masculinity. It has to do with you backing up your allegations. So, until that happens, I consider you a Mark One - Mark Zero coward.
"Damn right they do when folks call them names such as SOB, liar, etc."
Of course you do that all the time, but you're hiding behind a fake name."
I don't believe I've ever called anybody a liar on TH, but I'd stand behind my words if I did.
Honest? You? Good grief, Charlie Brown!
|
|
You have one thing that Munck, Vlad, Sewage mouth, etc. will never have. You showed the courage and love of country by serving for so many years.
Munck and his lib buddies are nothing but self absorbed idiots. They are not even in your league and sure as heck are not worth your time or effort. |
|
If you were to go meet with, Bob "busy-body-Bobby" Fluncky, somewhere on a state highway, all of us other townhallers would miss the fun---now that's not very neighborly.
Besides, you do a bangup job exposing this crackpot for what he really is; a boorish little busy-body who mistakenly thinks his nitpickingly-niggling nonsense is humorous (a joke in itself).
I've personally pointed out that his math skills are grossly deficient (specific to ratios and percentage interpretations) as he bangs his head against walls in arguing falsehoods.
Others have proven how superficial he is.
Actually, ignoring the maroon would be the best strategy but I know all too well how tantalizingly fun it is to shove that smugness right back in his face.
Seadog---stick to the truth. It is what you do best and reinforces the rational among us. |
|
"It has nothing to do with masculinity."
Of course it does. You're like a big chimpanzee waving his arms, screaming, and pretending to charge. Pure male display.
"I don't believe I've ever called anybody a liar on TH"
Yeah, in this very thread.
Started checking up on me yet? Find people from NRL involved with the AN/UYS-2 sonar system, also called EMSP -- Enhanced Modular Signal Processor. |
|
My words were: 'I don't believe I've ever called anybody a liar on TH, but I'd stand behind my words if I did.'
Yeah, I called you a liar and I should have qualified the above statement to reflect that. Note that I said I'd back it up -- which I will.
Still tracking folks who I suspect worked with you -- ain't seen any of them for years. Suspect most still live in your area, except one might have retired in Italy -- he talked about it a few times.
Never had anything to do with AN/UYS-2 sonar system, but I suspect you did. You probably ran off the manuals and collated the pages .
|
|
"You probably ran off the manuals and collated the pages ."
Much to complicated for the brain dead Munck.
|
|
I'm about to give up on the loser -- he has absolutely no character. He is a lock-stepped liberal, ex-peace creep.
He speaks of masculinity, but I don't believe the person has one bit of manhood in his entire make-up. He's spent his entire life sitting around lbs with other point-headed types telling one another how smart they are. And, of course, letting others do his fighting for him -- better men and women than he will ever be.
What I recommend is everybody cease responding to his idiotic posts. That is what I am going to do.
|
|
"Yeah, I called you a liar and I should have qualified the above statement to reflect that."
Not just me.
"Never had anything to do with AN/UYS-2 sonar system, but I suspect you did."
I thought you believed my resume is pure fiction. I invented the dataflow description language PGM for the AN/UYS-1, and we then used it as the basis for the hardware architecture of the AN/UYS-2. There's a book about it by a guy named Ackenhusen from Bell Labs. |
|
|
Good plan. Let the libs comment to each other. I know how frustrating it can get but these worthless trolls are really not worth the time. You cannot change those who are UN American. Instead of admitting they would never have the guts to serve their country they just mock those who do. A sick lot nothing more. |
|
Affirmative.
Speaking of Highway "50" routes.
Should you find yourself in the Rocky Mountains, there's one such, Highway 50, which leads to some pretty nice meeting places. My family would love to sit and meet with you to get more of those salty-sailor stories.
We're only a couple of canteens from places such as, Salida (great small town), Buena Vista, Leadville, Cripple Creek, and other fine watering holes. The views are great, crowds are small, and microbrews aplenty. First one's on me.
You might even consider bringing your skis; snow is on the ground here in Aspen and several nearby slopes (Arapahoe Basin, Loveland) are open for business. |
|
"letting others do his fighting for him"
An admiral once told me that I had done more to insure that the U.S. Navy had "undersea superiority" than anyone since Rickover. He'd been unduly impressed by a flashy demo of a sonar set in a P-3. There are now several thousand of those units deployed on subs, ships, and planes, at a cost of about half a million each. |
|
"Should you find yourself in the Rocky Mountains, there's one such, Highway 50, which leads to some pretty nice meeting places. My family would love to sit and meet with you to get more of those salty-sailor stories."
I doubt I will ever get out that way. I once had a camper, but sold it when I went overseas. I've been thinking of buying another, but not certain that I will.
My Number Three Son used to ski in your area, circa 1990-19XX when he was on the United Airlines Ski Team. He was then involved in lots of stuff and had every toy a single man can have, then he got married . . . No more toys.
He keeps telling his wife that their son (seven years old) wants a Harley, a ski-mobile and a Corvette. (I suspect he will obtain all his toys once he gets his new aircraft maint., business set up in Panama.)
|
|
It's "ensure", not insure, Fluncky.
Geeeeeeeesh, math is not the only weakness in your repertoire.
Ya' see, Fluncky, when you establish yourself as a nitpicking, niggling little dweeb, it comes back to haunt you...
Now----be a good little busy body and go get smart, for once. |

You tell that boy down there to "buy American".
Obama needs that Corvette money for his own new company, Government Motors.
He may even take over Harley Davidson before it's all said and done.
It does sound like that 7 year old has got his priorities straight. |

"He'd been unduly impressed by a flashy demo of a sonar set in a P-3. There are now several thousand of those units deployed on subs, ships, and planes, at a cost of about half a million each."
So your flashy B.S. demo resulted in the sale of equipment to the Navy that wasn't really all that effective? We are unduly unimpressed. |

"It's "ensure", not insure"
Look it up.
insure:
transitive verb
1 : to provide or obtain insurance on or for
2 : to make certain especially by taking necessary measures and precautions
-- Merriam-Webster |

"the sale of equipment to the Navy that wasn't really all that effective?"
It was HUGELY effective. The basic design has now been through four generations of hardware, gives us the best signal processing capabilities in the world. Do you think that the U.S. Navy would spend billions of dollars over 30 years on a mission-critical facility that DIDN'T WORK? As I said, there have been books written about it, and I just recently saw a PhD thesis about the design approach. Google uses it to structure their search engines.
But I'm sure Seadog contributed during his time in the Navy, probably in the field of paint application and removal. |

Munck just broke his arm trying to pat himself on the back. Oh yeah he also has this problem of brown stuff coming out of his ears. Seems the BS that comes from his mouth has backed up and is now spewing out his ears. |

"Munck just broke his arm trying to pat himself on the back."
Only after being challenged on it. What have YOU done to increase our nation's security? |

"The big banks weren't "threatened." Totally to the contrary, they were BEGGING for more mortgages. This has been thoroughly documented. It was the investment banks, not the government, who kept lowering the bar for mortgages". Just what have you been smoking pal? Banks may have been begging to make more loans but not the kind that would leave them holding the bag. And what has been "thoroughly documented" is how Clintons people put "teeth" into Carters Community Reinvestment Act. They used ACORN and other community orgianizing outfits (read communist rabble rousers) to strong arm Banks into lowering standards. It was fannie and freddie under the leadership of people like Franklin Raines that bought and bundled toxic securities, not banks. No sane bank CEO would ever risk investors money like that. Barney Frank, and yes he may not have been bright enough to have dreampt bundling up himself but he copped on to it, helped emplement it, pushed for more of it and is on C-SPAN tape throwing a spitting fit when regulators tried to call Raines & co. on it. (I know, I know, when does barney not spit). Well sure enough that house of cards collapsed and a trillion bucks in American wealth vanishes over night. So the fix is the Bush bad idea of the 700 billion $ tarp plus the Obama remedy of a tillion $ non-stimulating while contemplating another stimulus stimulus, another tillion for a health care hand-out and nearly a trillion a year for forty five years to cut carbon emissions by 2 flaming percent!!?? I know arguing with guy's like you is as pointless as arguing with a fence post but do you really want your grand children to live in indentured servatude to the communst Chinese so you can live a pampered life in a nanny-state? |

I would go for the fence post. You would have more luck getting an intelligent response. |

You are only correct if you engage in rewriting definitions.
To ascribe to the definition of, "ensure", your #2, is bogus:
"...to make certain especially by taking necessary measures and precautions"
One makes certain by "ensuring".
One only, "insures", when one, "contracts to be paid or to pay money in the loss of (life, property, etc.): take out or issue insurance on (something or someone).
Simon & Schuster,
New World Dictionary of American English
But, you keep grasping...

"You are only correct if you engage in rewriting definitions."
Nope, sorry. Copied-and-pasted right from the Merriam-Webster definition, not a character changed. So no rewriting of the definitions, and I am indeed correct, as you say.
"To ascribe to the definition of, "ensure", your #2, is bogus:"
I don't know what you were trying to say there. My definition from Webster was that of "insure," not "ensure."
We've been down this trail before. Your vocabulary is extremely limited and flawed. I'm guessing high-school dropout. |
|
you are a shamless little pissant.
First you incorrectly use the word "insure" when you would have been correct with, "ensure".
Now----you attempt to change the definition of the word altogether. Shameless and pathetically weak.
Fluncky's 11:19 AM post incorrectly using the word, "insure":
"An admiral once told me that I had done more to insure that the U.S. Navy had "undersea superiority" than anyone since Rickover."
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, you loser.
Go purchase a real dictionary. |

Munck as always makes a fool of himself. |

Like clockwork, my man.
Like clockwork... |

"First you incorrectly use the word "insure" when you would have been correct with, "ensure".
Both are correct, according to Merriam-Webster:
insure:
transitive verb
1 : to provide or obtain insurance on or for
2 : to make certain especially by taking necessary measures and precautions
(I'm curious why you think there should be a comma after "with" in your sentence. Your grasp of English seems to be weak in a number of ways.)
"Go purchase a real dictionary."
As contrasted to those published by Webster? Right. |
