You don't have to be wise to be old either, and I am living proof.

Welcome to the boards, Task.
Since the B/S gets deep around here, I recommend frogg toggs chest high waders. Insulated boot, triple-sealed seams, convenient pockets and realtree camo for when you are "trying not to be seen"

That bad huh? Mama always said if you can't be nice (civil at least) then be quiet. That was before the days of internet forums though. Still good advice to live by, and I do not intend to get too deep into the muck.

OK if Hossfly thinks you're cool that's cool enough for me.

We get a lot of returning socks so we never can tell who is for real or not.

You are USAF -- America's deep penetration strike force.

Hossfly was/is US Army -- your QRF.

I am/was USMC -- we are the Navy's QRF. That's a great job. You get to travel the world and kill people.

Welcome aboard !!

"Conservative" does not tell me anything.

There is far right (Cruz), middle right (Jeb, Ryan), RINO (Kasich, Christie, Trump), middle left (Hillary, Schumer, Pelosi), and far left (Bernie).

So which one of those are you then?

We have a bunch of great Russians here too.

They are also "conservative" because "liberal" in Russia is derogatory.

 

[yiostheoy]

We have a saying about motorcyclists --

1 - There are old motorcyclists,

2 - and there are bold motorcyclists,

3 - but there are no old, bold motorcyclists.

Looks like you made it to old age congrats !!

As a conservative I kinda swing a little bit towards or away from the middle depending on the issue. I have a real problem with spending money that we don't have, thus putting a larger debt on future generations to pay the interest on, let alone the principle. I tend to believe that solutions that require a larger and more intrusive gov't are not the best way to go; obviously there are some gov't functions that we as individuals are ill-equipped to handle such as defense and foreign affairs. Some other concerns might be addressed better at the state and local levels; if they aren't doing a satisfactory job of it then it's on their citizenry to step up and make adjustments rather than going to federal mandates. And I do believe in tolerance towards those with a different pov than mine. Most of today's issues are not that simple, there are many ways to look at a specific issue and the possible ways to deal with it.

As for being a sock, that refers to those who have more than one active account, which is contrary to USMB rules and I do not have. But we can quit and then come back, no?
