No one said she's stupid. I said "can this country really afford any more stupidity" by voting in a Porn Queen to help run congress. Do you ken, know anything about her platform (and I'm not talking about her shoes)?

It sounds like you are willing to take a chance on her helping to run the country simply because she "may have more going for her than just a great body and much better than average looks"?

This may be funny to you, but to be able to vote and use it wisely is something that men and women have fought and died for, and you are making light of it. You, dear Ken are what is wrong wtih this country. We have people who don't have the common sense that God gave a billy goat voting in a president simply because "it is time to vote in a black president". A president who has absolutely no experience and has already placed our country in great jeopardy as it is, but by golly we can now be looked at as all inclusive because we have accepted a black as president. The country is not going to survive this foolishness, but we are all inclusive. I know I am proud...

I know that's what our founding fathers had in minid. They just want everyone to be tolerant and accept all things and let the country go to the dogs. Those brave men at Valley Forge froze to death, and the men on Tarawa where blood ran deep, and the men at Iwo Jima, and Vietnam, Pork chop hill, bunker hill, the Phillipines, Pearl Harbor all gave their lives so you could vote in a porn queen just for the fun of it...simply because she "may have more going for her than just a great body and much better than average looks"?

This country is in worse shape than I ever dreamed. It seems that the Baby Boomers raised a bunch of entitled brats and with no sense of honor, duty or country who are willing to fritter their vote away all in the name of fun and games. What a bunch of idiots.

Yes, I know about Vietnam. My brother came back minus half a lung. My husband came back and was told not to wear his uniform in public because he might get attacked. I know about Vietnam.

Look you made the remark about her physical attributes and didn't seem to give a tinker's about her "agenda". THAT is what is wrong with this country. It is a novel idea to vote in someone like Jesse Ventura, for cryin' out loud, than someone who has a constitutional view of the way this country should be run. The whole thought process that brings this country to that makes me sick.

If you didn't vote, you are what's wrong with this country. I didn't like McCain either and I still don't, but I tried to prevent someone I thought was bad for this country to become the President of the most powerful nation on the face of the earth. If you don't vote, you shouldn't complain.

I was in high school during Vietnam. Sorry I couldn't serve in that capacity. I do belong to a patriotic organization and I sure vote.

Yes, I do believe I know what our founding fathers were about.

Good to hear you were raised with a rod. It didn't hurt any of us and in fact, I believe it brings about character.

The real question here is as a Baby Boomer yourself, how did you raise your own children? Not with a rod, I'll bet. That's the real ticket here. I said Baby Boomers' kids, who would be in the 25 to 40 year old range now. They seem to be the ones without a sense of duty, honor or country Those are the brats that I was referring to, not you. Those are the facts.

I love my country and it's going to the dogs.

Yes, I graduated in 1969, but if you will remember back then, they didn't allow WOMEN to go to places like Vietnam unless you were a nurse, and I was not. It wasn't like it is today and I was married in 1970 to a Vietnam Vet.

I am not assuming anything about you, but I must say I find you rather humorous. You sir, are a very touchy vet. I said "IF you didn't vote" I never assumed that you didn't. You are reading into my posts what YOU want to hear. Trying to pick a fiight?

Again, I wasn't talking about YOUR kids in particular. You get a lot of exercise jumping to conclusions? I SAID "baby boomer's kids" --- not YOUR kids. More often than not the children of Baby Boomers have a sense of entitlement. That doesn't mean ALL of them or YOUR KIDS, but generally speaking it's a well known fact that generation X has a sense of entitlement.

Sense of entitlement is the idea that one has a right to be given something which others believe should be obtained through effort.

Sort of like politicians cut welfare and raise taxes but their own sense of entitlement leads them to award themselves huge pay increases and enormous pensions for a few years' work. (Urban dictionary)

Your son sounds AOK, and I hope that he comes home soon.

But his dad seems to have his panties in a wad.

BTW, I cannot stand the Washington, DC crowd. Washington state is more my style.

I'd like to say it's been nice talking to you, but hey, my mama told me not to lie.
