The Liquor Talking

Well, I guess your pretty happy now that New York is allowing gay marriage.

Jack, a TRUE conservative

Your – This is your stew.
You’re – You’re a stew head.
Yorn – Is this here stew yorn?

With that out of the way, for the 516th time: I am not in favor of same-sex marriage!

What I am in favor of, what all TRUE conservatives are in favor of are:

1. Government minding its own damned business and
   
2. every citizen, EVERY CITIZEN enjoying the same rights as every other citizen.
   

How is this misinterpreted to mean I’m in favor of same-sex marriage?

I don’t think people of the same sex should get married. I think it’s a sin. I don’t think people should cheat oh their spouses. I think that’s a sin too. My point is that the government (at any level) doesn’t have a dog in this fight and should stay the hell out of it.

Glad to see you’re making healthy choices in your diet! I know a diet can be a real bitch to stick to, but once you get to your target weight, maintaining it is a lot easier.

It’s hard, but believe me, it’s worth it!

And the chicks dig it.

Thanks! I have a pretty good support system in the form of my wife. She’s doing yeoman’s work in making sure I stay on my carb budget, despite my near constant grousing.

Perhaps the most difficult part is the fact that pret’near everything I like blows the carb budget. Stuff I can mostly do without is what I can have in abundance.

I’m sure I’ll get used to it.

Eventually.

It’s because a generation that was just plain raised wrong raised their kids even more wrong and these doubly-stupid people are coming into positions of power.

It wasn’t all that long ago that you’d have gotten your ass well-and-truly kicked if you tried to stop someone from flying Old Glory on their own property. I know I probably sound like some old geezer, but when I was a kid, such a thing would be unthinkable.

Kids raised by hippies have raised their own kids and we’ve now got a pack of people to whom nothing is important, nothing is sacred. People for whom “diversity” does not include men like you and I.

I worry for our country, my brother.

Joe

I think you may be right.

I did the best I could with my kids. They know the lessons of liberty, its price and how it is maintained. They were taught to watch and to be on guard against those who would limit their liberty. I’m confident they’ll raise their children thusly.

Hence, I am not worried for our country. As long as at least some of the next generation keeps the flame alive, our nation will endure.

I know where Raper Corner is!

Hide your kids, hide your wife and hide your husband ’cause they rapin’ errybody out here!

Jasper

5 Hand salutes for making me laugh.

For those that don’t know, the cutoff to the lake house where we vacationed is called “Raper Corner.”

There are some people who have names that things just shouldn’t be named after.

Okies just don’t see it that way.

Anything come of your latest with the VA?

Vince

Just yesterday, I got the following email:

I do however have an appointment to see their general whateverist. While I was 100% prepared to go this whole thing via my private insurance, the gal at the hearing clinic (a private practice) bade me to give the VA one more shot.

Having already bitten their heads off once, getting an appointment was pretty straight-forward.

Oh, and get this! The original appointment they offered me back in May was July 11. After calling them again on the 20th of this month, they gave me an appointment for July 13th. Maybe if I’d have waited until this week, I could have gotten an appointment for tomorrow.

Yeah, me thinks they still got some heads up the ass out there.

How come you’ve not done any phone calls lately?

Cal

Mostly because no one has annoyed me in the way required to get a phone call.

Don’t get me wrong, people have annoyed me, just not in the special way needed to make me go to the trouble of setting up a call.

I do think I’ll do a survey on Friday though. Someone come up with an interesting question.
