I was at the car dealer getting my oil changed. While I was waiting another customer saw that I am a Catholic. Soon he was stating that the Catholic church ruined society and Christianity both. And that the church did not even exist for 600 years. Well I have high BP and am a senior citizen...

Yes that war was evil and it a good to advise children not to serve. And we can say that about any war. Maybe I would not want my grandkids going to an "evil" war in Afghanistan. And why did Romney go to France when he could have been a Mormon missionary in America. None has ever been to my...

OK Limbaugh went to college for one semester. Got a high number in the draft lottery and dropped out. Romney went to France for 2 1/2 years returning when the lottery ended.

I believe I stand corrected. I said yellow fever without looking it up. Small pox is I am sure the correct answer.

Quite often I will be reading a novel and the author uses swear words in the description. Frankly I regard it as a lack of intelligence if he cannot avoid swear words in those situations.

The list is up there

It is interesting to me that the order was issued on Jul4, 1863. That was also the last day of the horrific battles at Gettysburg AND Vicksburg. So troops were involved in the Civil War and without it more would have been used against the Native American population. I was going to mention the...

Avila surfer I am asking you again. Yes there are many vets who vote Republican. I am one of them so that case is closed. But this is now the third time I am asking you. Name one leading Republican baby boomer politician who was not a draft dodger. (NO, I am not talking about the guy...

I studied and still read a lot of history. My knowledge of our treatment of Native Americans, however, is limited. I do believe that there were attempts to wipe out tribes but that was difficult because there weren't enough soldiers to do it. I think Custer was wanting to kill them off...

Explain your insult please. I am still waiting for one name. Maybe you have some military experience of that time you can enlighten me with

o I still wonder why there is more profanity in books than there is in real life. And my grandkids are watching cartoons with foul language and violence. I grew up with Mighty Mouse and this stuff would never have been acceptable in the dark ages when I was a kid.

I am a registered Republican and I served in Nam. I have never run for a political office. And I still do not know a baby boomer veteran other than McCain.

I enjoy friendly disagreement. But what I see here and in other threads is a lot of insults. No wonder Christianity is on the decline when Catholics insult each other without bringing other denominations into it.

Not a chance However I am open to your long list of exceptions regarding THAT generation.

I do have a couple of books by James a Michener and a novel by MacKinlay Kantor in my to be read pile and recently finished one by William Faulkner. And yes, I forgot to complain about the excessive amount of sex in them too.

And Bush2 was in the National Guard and Quayle was VP. I also noticed that McCain did not really get as much support from the Republican party as I expected. And both Kerry's and Gore's Vietnam war service were highly criticized.

I received it too. I am so far undecided on which Republican to vote for in the primary but this kind of tactic would work against him in my opinion.

I do read a lot and many of the books I read are novels. Many of them are loaded with obscenities. And I have no doubt that some of what I have read I would have enjoyed if the author would have cleaned up his language. For example I read a couple of books by Vince Flynn and thought they were...

Hastert, Gingerich, Quayle, Romney, Watt, Limbaugh come immediately to mind. And there is Trump

That generation of Republicans were all draft dodgers. Since I first voted in 1968 I have voted only twice for Dems (both times the Dem was a governor candidate more pro-life than the Rep). But I will admit that I have long ago grown disenchanted with Republican promises and insults. I listen...
