Okay Kevin.....It was ALL a master plan by the Kerry clan to send their son to 'Nam, have him shot at, and thirty-some odd years later run for President, huh?

I KNEW that CONSPIRACY THEORIES are a time-honored tradition in our country, along with a that other BS phenomenon "The Urban Legend" and believing anything and everything some other...ahem...gentleman who's in a "superior position"(which usually means he possesses MORE FREAKIN' MONEY than you do)...BUT....GIVE ME A FREAKIN' BREAK here.(and BTW lonzo, this "capital lettering and BOLD PRINT" is the only way these MACHO MEN listen anymore)

And speakin' of Conspiracy Theories....I GOT ONE FOR YA.....

You REALLY wanna KNOW what this "Thin Red Line" or in the police department's cases thoughtout our country, the "Thin Blue Line", or "Thin ANY Line" for THAT MATTER actually accomplishes? Well, THAT is to DUMMY UP any SCREW-UPS from becoming common KNOWLEDGE that a member of it's organization may happen to prepetrate and someone else may witness.

So BECAUSE Kerry "BROKE" that freakin' stupid a$$ code and told Congress what he preceived to be the TRUTH, without the say so of his superiors OR some of his comrades, he's AUTOMATICALLY a "TRAITOR", huh?

Well then, I guess Robert McNamara is one also then. Because THAT A$$hole, who was one of the architects of that freakin' Southeast Asian debacle, said the same ^*&%$^#$% THING as Kerry did ONLY 30 freakin' years TOO LATE!!!

But at least HE didn't "break" the code when it counted, huh? NO! HE allow another few thousand American lives to end in a Quixotic effort that had it's seeds sown by another clueless Administration(Truman...but THAT'S another story) which was an evitable farce due to the FACT that the MAJORITY of people in Viet Nam had no clue as to why THESE Grunts were in their country to begin with. In other words...just like in IRAQ...those average idiots haven't a clue what a Jeffersonian Democracy IS or why they NEED ONE! AND most of them will NEVER UNDERSTAND! AND I don't want my TAX DOLLARS thrown down the drain OR Ryan, the nice kid next door, to think that following that ignorant and inarticulate man in the White House down this dead-end road either thinking that it's "BRAVE".

I guess there are some(MOST) who only want to follow the flag(that's EASY), and NOT think circumspectly, call a spade a spade, no matter if it's a FRIEND or a fellow American citizen who they have to chastise because THAT could hurt their little feelings(I THINK that may be a form of "political correctness", which I understand REAL conservatives abhor) AND LEARN FROM HISTORY what causes these stupid-a$$ conflicts and the MESS that insues when INCOMPETENCE is the norm in planning and executing those plans...and then there are a FEW who CAN!

But then again, I HOPE you ALREADY knew that, and JUST FORGOT!

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
