Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself. -Tom Wilson.

So true. Look at John McCain.

AA must be feeling like an Old Fat Angry White Man today.....;-)

Andy's not fat.

I don't know who he is but it is his quote and it fits you well. On numerous occasions you seem to dismiss someone's posts or imply they don't carry as much authority as yours because they are younger. That's pure BS and you and everyone on this board knows it. You sound like a man who is pissed because he woke up one morning and noticed the wrinkles and grey hair. Dismissing someones opinion because of their age doesn't make them look less important, it makes you look jealous and angry.

All the above is true. What's your excuse on the other side of the spectrum? In other words, I'm not here to agree with you only to express my well founded opinions and I really don't give a flip what you think of me or what I express. It is every bit as valid as those expressed by you. As I have said many times, I don't post to change your values and ideals or anyone else's. I post so that the lurkers and passers by are sure to see both sides of the story. There is no doubt those in your camp will present their opinions and "facts". Oh, and you're right. If anyone should know about BS it is you.

At least I don't think like you, that I sit higher on my horse because I am older, have served in the military or whatever else in your life experience you think sets you apart and above others. You have no idea what anyone has experienced in their life so quit assuming you have been through tougher times just because you may have more years behind you. You are right that I know about BS, I've been reading your posts long enough to feel like an expert. (That last sentence isn't how I really feel, I just couldn't pass up the chance to use it.)

Touche! I'll ignore the rest of your post and only say at one time I was very insecure. As you may have noticed, that is no longer the case.

Keep it up, you are much more fun when you let it all out!

I'll give Andy credit, he also understands the internet forum golden rule of leaving it here. We've had a few beers together and although you would think we'd fight like cats and dogs we just leave it here.

I can understand. I've never met him but as I've told him in past posts, I like him.

I think the fact that we can all discuss this without having a rumble in the Seaside Amphitheater speaks volumes about this board and all of its contributors.

Now by show of hands, how many Tea Party members on the board?

 

[Andy A]

Stop you guys, you are ruining my image. SWGB, at least one. I am sick and tired of both parties and a third is not a viable option, IMO. Candidates who stand for what tea partier's believe are, regardless of party affiliation.
