don't think I would be very effective shooting at people.

So saith the man who's safely over draft age.

How's that sound for a national motto?

Nobody held a gun to their head and made them enlist. Nobody holds a gun to their head and makes them re-up.
Duh. They do it because they're patriots. You hold their hands like they were little kids. You don't give them any credit.
You act like they're stupid and helpless.This insults them. Your as bad as Senator Kerry.

No, I don't give you any credit. And it isn't about re-upping.

Everybody can see you don't give me credit. You don't think I know a list of liberal propaganda when I see one? Duh! Isn't
that just like a liberal? They think their lies
guide everybody's thinking... How's about getting a clue. Listen to Gilligan. He's got
it right.

Cheers,
Ellen

Sounds to me like one drafted by a '60s draft dodger.

Well, I had "other priorities" in the 60's.

But seriously, how do you reconcile freedom and conscription?

No worries. Always a demand for people to clear land mines, car bombs
and the like....

Why do you find it so difficult? Because to you "freedom" means the
absence
of responsibility? The absence of duty?

To liberals freedom means "freedom from" want, need, fear, etc. FDR even
said so. Freedoms for liberals comes from someone else's efforts.

To real Conservatives freedoms means "freedom to" pursue things as long as
they don't interfere with the fundamental rights of others. Freedom for true
Conservatives is the ability to pursue their own efforts.

Liberals are belly-aching slackers. Nothing is good enough or everything is
bad they cry! They are dependent and inculcate dependency. It does take a
village for a liberal.

Real Conservatives, such as Barry M. Goldwater, Ronald Reagan and Capt Neal
value independence, work, effort and achievement. Male real Conservatives
are real, manly men. They don't need a village or anything like that. They
don't want people getting in their way or interfering. They have things to
do and places to go. The world rests upon the shoulders of those manly men
and the real women who worship them.

I've had my fill of all this Liberal tripe. I'm voting Republican because
that's where the Real Conservatives are. God, guns and guts made America!

Amen!

Because they're opposite notions.

I have to agree Joe. I was going to vote the Republicans out for gridlock.

I'm still going to vote for congressional democrats, if for no other reason
that to confuse the hell outta Doug King.

Actually Cappy..many enlist because it's the only way they can get a
regular income

Bull****. Unemployment here is at its lowest level in a generation. Jobs
are plentiful.

You sound like Kerry: elitist.
