What a genderist, testosterone infected, microaggressive, threatening and self promoting thing to say!
But your a Dem so your probably lying anyway.
I'm the one who called him a manly man because he is. You see enough posts and you get a feel for who fills the sack and who doesn't. My perplexity is that real men are almost never leftists, yet here he is to prove the exception to the rule. I'm genuinely curious as to how this happens.
Being an adrenaline junkie has nothing to do with political affiliation. And, you don't have to be a Dem or a Rep to enjoy doing things outdoors.
Hunting and fishing don't require any political affiliation either, all you have to be is hungry, and hunger doesn't differentiate between "leftist" and "conservative". We all get hungry.
As far as knowing how to sack up and be responsible? Learned that in the Navy, and I had some really good Firsts and Chiefs that taught me how to lead.
People like you are grounded in reality which is why it puzzles me when you align with a party that is antithetical to reality and personal responsibility. Democrats repeatedly show a poor understanding of economics, the demonstrable truth that socialism and wealth redistribution policies that fall just short of it produce poverty, not wealth. Democrats think the answer to failing Obamacare is to punish people with stiffer fines for not participating. At every turn Democrats think the solution to problems caused by government is even more government and less freedom.
Moreover, no nation in history has taxed itself into prosperity, nor have Keynesian economics theories ever substantiated themselves with real world examples. The unchanging and unchangeable intrinsic principles of money, economies, and human behavior which the warriors of acedemia deny don't have to be explained to people like us.
So you remain to me an enigma. To be Democrat is to set aside the hard earned life experience and common sense you possess in abundance and accept a world of smoke and delusions in its place.
Your last paragraph explains why you are confused. You called me a Democrat, when in fact, I've been an Independent ever since about halfway through my Navy career. Sometimes I've voted Republican, because I thought that was the best candidate. Other times, I've voted Democrat, because I thought they were the best candidate.
And yeah, because I'm grounded in reality, that is why I'm an Independent.
I believe that the government shouldn't spend more than it is taking in. I also believe that a graduated tax system is a good one. I think that we should have an infrastructure that is in good shape. I believe a strong military is important to this country.
I believe in your right to own guns, as many as you wish. I also think that you shouldn't be able to fire more than 15 rounds downrange before having to reload. Why? Guns are useful tools for hunting and home defense, but the only reason that you would need more than 15 rounds at a time is if you are a really bad shot, or if you are in a war zone. If you're a bad shot, spend more time out at the range. If you're in a war zone, you're part of the military, and I think that you should be given any weapon available that will help you defeat your enemies.
I also believe in a decent wage for all American workers. If it had kept up with inflation, it would be 10.10 right now instead of 7.25.
