The Bucknuts Hot Spot

Republicans were using that same line back in the 70's. Now that's conservative recycling.

Except it's never been true.

please respond to your own questions concerning what would Obummer do on these questions?

Yeah 40 years ago things were great if you were a nonhandicapped white male middle class or higher American, unless you died or was wounded in Vietnam because your daddy did not have the pull to get you into the National Guard. If you were a member of a minority group, poor, handicapped, or a woman, things were not so great.

Oh, that's right, my bad. I forgot that only Cons like the old morals and not the immoral debauchery. But a couple questions for you if you don't mind. Wasn't Newt Gingrich a Con, how about David Vitter? Or Foley from Florida or the "wide stance" Senator from Idaho, Larry Craig. Or Rush Limbaugh and his 4 marriages and drug use? Should I continue?

Dave,

You will need to wring your panties out after this post! Wow!

Dave,

Do you think any politicians, regardless of party affiliation, have morals? Come on man! How old are you?

Yes there are some but none that run for the Presidency!

I understand what you are saying but you are the one said Cons want the good old days.

It has, but I think Obama would like to re-distribute some of my wealth. Although, I don't fit in the rich bracket he wants to tax. I'm doing fine, I just hope it stays that way.

Perhaps someone came in behind you and turned off the spigot. There seems to be a drought.

Blaming progressive of the 60's for all the ills of society is laughable. Maybe it was the freeing of the slaves or giving the women the right to vote that started it all. Maybe it was when society through the government started caring about and trying to help the poor, the sick, the old, the helpless, the handicapped, etc.

As with all times, whether it is the best of times or the worst of times is dependent on what you see from where you are sitting, sort of what the Styx were saying. Of course Dickens said it best:

"IT WAS the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way- in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."

BKshepherd, the only thing you can do is teach your children by your own example. Life the good and righteous life, fight the good fight. In doing so perhaps following the Serenity Prayer will help:
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.

If you find that there are things in society that you don't want for your children, fight to change them. If they are unchangeable, teach your children about them instead of trying to shield your kids from them. They will need weapons with which to fight the good fight themselves and the greatest and most powerful weapon of all is knowledge.

If you want to compare lies, Romney is way out in front of Obama. His flip-flopping within the same day and even the same appearance is absurd.

I agree it is Romney's to lose. Beating Obama should have been a sure thing and would have been with another candidate or maybe even with another campaign staff. Now it is 50-50.

I thought the same thing in 2004, that the incumbent could not win reelection until Kerry won the nomination and then his weakness as a candidate became clear. Then his ineptness campaigning and that of his campaign staff sealed the deal, along with a few GOP tricks.

How foolish of me, Tim. Of course you know better what's best for the country than the military, itself. Following is straight out of Army Regulation 670-1, "Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Insignia," page 8. From the sounds of the article this is probably still in effect, even though this version is dated 2005. Just like Obama, perhaps you'd prefer to just disregard those rules of government that you just don't agree with? I'd imagine the other branches have similar rules, but who cares about decorum when you have a parade to march in?
