My partiality for Joe Biden is somewhat akin to hedging my bets. Of all the candidates running so far in the Democratic primary, he is the least dangerous in my opinion. It's kind of equivalent to putting a put option on a stock to protect me in the event of a drop in price (ie Trump loses in 2020). If that is the case I would much rather have Biden as President than anyone else running. My opinion regarding the 2016 election was the Hillary may have been the only opponent that Trump could have beat. There is a large segment of the voting populace that votes on likability or un-likability regardless of policy. I've never been a 'let it all ride' investor, or gambler and feel the same with politicians. I have noticed an increasing amount of frustration among some of my right leaning compatriots regarding Trump's slash and burn style. He is wearing thin with many fence sitters but the extreme left could be his salvation if any of them get the nomination. It is truly a crap shoot at this point.

Interesting. Since it did not show the weapons, I just figured Vietnam. Still, a great picture. Upon closer inspection, these soldiers are wearing Pacific Theater fatigues.
|
Justyo clarify, I did not take the picture. It is from WWII when it was perhaps less acceptable, but it makes the point.
I stumbled across this site when looking for the image. www.artofmanliness.com |
Bobby Tony, you mix it up well. And we here at BCN are the great beneficiaries. Great picture by the way, I shoot a bunch of images, and I may never shoot one this profound.
Joe would make a terrible president, but, I do respect his flashes of standing up for what should be right - this whole touching thing is far over blown, and do agree with you and Joe on that. Just this weekend, we visited some old friends, and they are a good bit older than my wife and I, so I made sure that I invaded our female friend's personal space, and announced that I just experienced a bidengasm (coined by your truly). She is a full fledged Deplorable, so she well enjoyed the invasion. |
Agreed; however, I can't stomach but so much CNN and MSNBC.
Wrong and wrong often, while basking continuously in the glow of wrong gets real old fast. |
I am always somewhat amused when I hear people say they will never watch FOX NEWS, CNN, MSNBC or whatever (and I have many in my family on both sides of that Rubicon). It seems as if they are afraid of ideas.
Apparently critical thinking is not contagious but dogma is highly contagious and infects that part of the brain that controls rational discourse. The first thing I do before I blindly accept any political pronouncements in the media by anyone is to try and determine their historical position on the Nolan Chart. This allows me to assign the proper weight to their opinion based on my own bias and their bias balanced by perspective. Without critical thinking we are all subject to indoctrination by those self proclaimed PHD Experts. en.wikipedia.org |
I have met two Social Justice Warriors that got up into my grill, and both were obnoxious and stupid, and extremely rude, which may be redundant for the obnoxious and stupid descriptors.
I see on e of them from time to time, and I had to the ignorant fool that he had lost his speaking privileges with me, and that is forever until he apologizes for being a complete Dumbass - he use use those exact words. Both ignorant Social Justice Warriors were self-proclaimed "Doctors" (actually PHD's), who have the collegiate jobs of forming young minds. Now, that is messed up. One must have to question: What is the rigor to becoming a PHD these days? From my audience with both of these two fools, I would surmise: Not much! |
Not Hardly, but it was said with Drill Sargent authority.
On a more serious note, I think that poor Joe Biden is a target created by the "social warriors" because he is no longer in the mainstream of his parties political thought. It is not sufficient for them to merely disagree with him, like they do with everyone not in lock step with their belief they must destroy him. I had to do some research to find the proper term to describe the current crop of Democratic lefties. Social Justice Warrior seems to be the proper terminology today. Social Warrior - "A person who uses the fight for civil rights as an excuse to be rude, condescending, and sometimes violent for the purpose of relieving their frustrations or validating their sense of unwarranted moral superiority. The behaviors of Social justice warriors usually have a negative impact on the civil rights movement, turning away potential allies and fueling the resurgence of bigoted groups that scoop up people who have been burned or turned off by social justice warriors." Source Urban dictionary Search "urban dictionary social justice" www.urbandictionary.com/author.php?author=TheWokestPerson To be sure the righties have the same problem when they try to slash and burn anyone who is somewhat to the left of their Genghis Khan mentality. I wondered what would be a good term for those of the right who exhibit the same tendencies as described below by the Urban dictionary. The term I found was Theocrat. "A theocrat. The right’s version of censorship, mirroring the left’s PC, is RC, usually tinged with nationalism but rarely straying far from Jesus. This is what Lenny Bruce and George Carlin were put to trial for in the 1960s and 70s: the radical Jew and the permanently-lapsed Catholic were religiously incorrect. Here is the familiar paranoia - afraid that the corrupt media would turn their kids into communists, queers, feminists and atheists, these self-proclaimed moral bosses demanded cleansing and censorship from the radio to the comedy stage to the library. They are precisely analogous to the regressive liberal who fears that one joke, one song or one film will turn their children into wife beaters, racists or homophobes, calling for a new McCarthyism." www.quora.com/What-do-you-call-a-right-wing-version-of-a-social-justice-warrior It appears that both Social Warriors and Theocrats are in reality so afraid of ideas that their only reaction is to "shoot the messenger" instead of engaging in debate. Both sides are bashing at the foundation of the principal of our understanding of 'Free Speech' and once in power they feel free to trample on the 1st amendment which was designed to stop the government from censorship. Unfortunately a crusader will always over reach while pursuing what they perceive as a higher goal. |
I hope that comment was: Thank-you for service; now can you continue that service somewhere where it is more private.

I told her I had just returned from the war and had lost a good bit of my hearing and needed to get close to hear what she was saying. I had no problem hearing her next comment. I wonder if Old Uncle Joe ever had that problem. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
