California flies Communist Chinese flag

Why don't you seize the opportunity and go make some extra money instead of sitting around finding shit to bitch about on the internet all day? You are 33, you ought to be able to bring home some extra money I would think.

If you think this is all I do, you're sadly mistaken. While I stay away from people and busy places, I am at least relatively productive. Also, I am sorry for calling you Captain Run Away.

Some of y'all are so bent on busting FF's chops, you are either assholes or coming across as assholes.

Also, I personally don't have a problem with someone who took a bullet in a war, getting money from our tax money. A war that our elected officials sent him to on official orders via an elistment contract that the government provided..

It is insane to compare that with folks too lazy to work, popping out kids and buying beer/cigs with our tax dollars. I'd focus more on the negative side of government cheese abuse than poking at those who did their jobs and earned the cheese with blood.

I don't have a single issue with the money that taxpayers give to him, I just like pointing out hypocrisy in his posts.

Article 1 Section 8, power to raise and support an Army. My paycheck is constitutional. Next?

I'm just jacking with you man. That being said, your argument is a non-sequitur. It's constitutional, but it's still socialist.

I don't know, maybe my idea/interpretation of socialist is wrong. Or I am biased towards disabled vets - which I won't change on.

To me, he is getting a benefit from a job he did and a contract he signed. Us using our health insurance would be socialist if what he is getting is socialist.

Just getting something for doing absolutely NOTHING could fall as socialist in my opinion. Disabled vets did something, lost something (health, mind...etc) and as part of the benefits they receive a check.

I mean, I have long term disability insurance. If I have to use it, am I socialist? No different. Except when you're military the government is the "company" that provides the benefits.

[YALE]

I absolutely agree with you, Ceyko, that he has definitely earned his pension. My point is more that the military is a socialist institution in the same way that public roads and the police are. That is in no way a slight on anyone that has ever served, merely an observation of the mechanism by which the military operates. The, "Socialist," rib was exactly that, a rib. Socialism is not when people get something for nothing. That is entitlement.

Your right, not that 90% of the people on this board will ever listen to anything they didn't hear on Faux news anyway. One way to get a reaction is to punch buttons ya know?

Sure, it's one way to get a reaction, if you want to be a dick about it. The better way would be to engage in conversation and leave folks' family out of it. You're being the kind of "lefty" that nobody wants to talk to because your penis has swapped places with your brain.

If you cannot adequately get your position across without bringing other folks' family into it then you need to step back and rethink your approach.

Oh the irony.

Pretty sure supporting socialism would be supporting people getting the same everything I have, whether they worked for it or not. Instead? My health care goes from Tricare Prime to Standard and the ACA gives illegals more free stuff.

That was not me, thank naynay.

I didn't bring it up, and I only asked if she was American. Problem?

Obviously you aren't a socialist, even though you are obtuse. You are, however, enmeshed in a form of socialism.

Not really. Socialism would require all of us to get the same treatment no matter rank or time in service. There's, I think, 8 classifications of veterans for treatment and tons of disability percentages and treatments.

[ELVIS]

the dude got shot in the head so we can be free. i think he deserves whatever he is getting and to obv. be a little crazy. we have crazier folks here that havent been shot in the head. thanks frost.

god bless.

No, it would not, but I see what you're getting at.
