Amazing that a "wall" would suddenly appear between our "leaders" and us citizens. You are right, that wall needs to come down.

A liberal admitting that he was wrong.

I'll admit that I was wrong. 100% wrong.

I thought I could find intelligent, thoughtful people to discuss politics on townhall.com.

I am admitting right here, right now, that I was wrong.

So #10 on your list has come true.

I don't think angry sarcasm counts as admittance.

Eric - It's not 'angry' sarcasm, but

that's the best that you'll get until you learn the difference between "their" and "they're".

captured the range quite nicely, Ericc. Good job!

Lets just hope the next "amazing historical event" doesn't involve women in the U.S. wearing burkes (gads I hope I spelled that right) and all of us speaking ... let's say Chinese just for the giggles.

But before a liberal can admit they are wrong, they have to tell the truth. As you can plainly see they will lie to prove you wrong.

It's no lie that Eric meant "they're" when he put "their". So I'm just telling the truth here.

Yeah, like I said, it's a huge event when a liberal admits being wrong.

I think Ivan is the best subject for that! Imagine Ivan actually admitting someone of opposition is right on a subject!

I guess I missed the issue of "Scientific American" laying out all your intellectual accomplishments. But I'll check out the next "Trader Joe's" flyer to see if you are in there. Thanks for the heads up!

Benji Thinks ONLY Liberals are Smart

You see BHO is reported to have an IQ of 124! OOOOh AAAAH! Hey Benji, the next time you fly, remember, I was one of the people that designed the components that keep aircraft flying. Oh, and I knew what AOPA was without looking it up. I no longer work as an engineer (engineers don't make much, I was only making $75k back then)I now run a company and employ people (something BHO has never done). Oh and my IQ is significantly higher then his....Thank you, Thanks you.... (that was for the ooohs and aaaahs)

Since you always point out that I could be lying, I'll point out the same about you.

But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are telling the truth. That makes you a braggart. And you'd be proving that you can be well accomplished and still be an a##hole.

You're right about Obama. He's so ill accomplished. He only had the organizational ability and skill to take down a frontrunner in the Democratic primaries, then take down a more seasoned pro in the general election. It must be affirmative action, right?

Benny!!!

You don't have to keep auditioning, I told you I'd hire you as a spell checker. Heck, I'll start you at $35K, that should be a huge increase for you!

Braggart? No, self confident, egotistical yes, you should consider ego sometime, you may (I know this is a stretch) become successful someday!

Obviously you judge people on how much money they make. I make substantially more than your proposed spell-checker salary.

You can be confident without being an a##hole. Try it.

Well, Eric ...

In my very average IQ opinion, P.C. will disappear when the several States decide to assume their rightful place and put the central government in it's place.

As for CPU problems, don't have a clue how to resolve any issues -- I depend upon others for those services.

You drive a hard bargain. $37K plus benefits and you're right I am an a##hole! Someone once said that of me that I was the nicest guy on the planet and the meanest SOAB alive, just pick which one you want to deal with and that's what you'll get.

Jim and benjamin

Interesting posts!

Jim- Aviation is a great industry, isn't it? I'll be going back to school for a semester to start an Air traffic control career. With my flight credits behind me, and potential retirees from the Reagan era, I should be a worthy candidate. So, what components have you worked on? Did you certify with the military or as a civilian? I'm interested to hear from your experiences.


Benjamin- Alright, we got off on the wrong foot here! Let's start over, shall we? I'll try to be as civil as I can be, with as little sarcasm thrown in the mix. Can you? I'd be interested in civil debates.

mrs Al.

I really hope they do. 14 people, the media doesn't count the unborn child as a death, are dead at Ft. Hood because people were afraid their careers would be over because of "profiling" when they knew of his stance. We need people to stop shouting racist and start waking up. The PC crowd should talk to the families of the 14 victims.


By the way, it's good to have computer savvy folks helping you out, isn't it. I'm somewhat cpu literate, having solved my "blue screen of death" and a very nasty virus picked up from the internet. My older brother is a genius when it comes to computers. It seems he was born with a certain affinity for electronics and uses that to a promising career outlook. Glad you liked my comments on your blog!

I worked mostly DOD at Pratt & Whitney, General Dynamics, and Moog Aerospace. At P&W I worked on PW F-119, Moog F23 wing actuator, GD sub skin. I got out when Clinton raped the military budget and shelved the F22.
