Heh, I just read through this, Spaniard, GTO hit a nerve! I know how it is. Especially if you're having a rough day. I too voted for Alan Keyes btw. I really liked pretty much everything he had to say.

I still like everything Keys has to say....

I also like hitting Nerves.... But the Spaniard could use a little better Tact... I would take my own advice and step away from the puter for a bit...

course I think this one opens me up for the rebuttle.. we'll see...

Hog

I try to remember what my screen saver says after 1 minute of inactivity... In big letters it scrolls, "That which begins in anger, ends in shame..." I got that quote from another thread here on CBID and I try to internalize it. I'm human and therefore imperfect, but I try to remember that mantra when I start to get upset. I do better the older I get...

You are the buddha you're two billion years old come on beloved traveler. sit down, center, go back down the ladder of genetic memory find your divinity.

Remember you are the buddha

WOW !!! some interesting responses to say the least...Sorry..

Relax Hog, I'm not on attack mode anymore (I think). Maybe I'm distantly related to Jake LaMotta (Raging Bull). You oughta see me when I REALLY don't like somebody. Oh well, to paraphrase the RETARD (here I go again), Ah ain't no munster, ah is ah hooman bean!

"GTO", eh? More like "Rambler". OK, that's all folks!

I still think you are a jerk. lol

I'm offended, and I'm not even retarded. I don't think. I'm not sure, Is there anything wrong with that? Is there?

I'm cold. Where am I ? Where's Sybil? Who are you?

You know what the most amusing thing is here? The post is titled "Heres one for Rickamaven" but he never posted! LOL!! Still good fun though. L8r, off to shoot some pool and play trivia!

Big John, you remind me of Perot's running mate, Amiral Stockwell(sp?). Remember the debates?

As far as that one-tooth wonder who irritates me(not you Robby), our paths will cross someday. Hopefully by then I will have cooled off. You are a little funny in an "Idiot Savante" sort of way. Just remember to remove the finger from your nose from time to time and you'll breathe better.

meant "Admiral".

I am having creamed pickled herring for breakfast. And really ----why not?

I thought you have to be over 18 years old to log onto this site. lol

Puppy!

I think it's deplorable. Someone finally posts an act of compassion by the President that no one can say was a "staged photo op" (snopes couldn't confirm it!) and what should have been a wonderful tribute to our wounded turned into a free for all name calling thread, how juvenile!

Whats really funny CW is that Mr. bloody said he voted for every republican since Nixon, so that would make him 53-54 years old, if he voted when he was 18.

He does not sound like he is over 20 years old to me nor a man that voted for every republican since Nixon.

But he does sound a lot like mrphd aka drbinski

Just thought I would out him once again hehehe

I did enjoy his little fit, very entertaining...

get a room, you two! 🙂

eleltea: hey, makes as much sense as most anything else. why not, indeedy.

Tony, that 69Gottoman fellow just won't let it go. But he's a real patriot this one. With his "love" for veterans, Nascar, Republicans, apple pie, etc. The only thing he loves is his Depends. That way he can stay on his Osborne pc round the clock.

Genius, I was born in 03/53. That makes me 50. Voted for Nixon when he was re-elected- NOT in 68.

What about you. Is the 65 in your handle your age or IQ?

You see back before you were born, there was a car made by Pontiac called GTO, I have a 1965 GTO conv. With a 389 tripower NOS engine.

Im not a republican nor a demonrat, Im a veteran so I guess you can say I support and love all those that served/serve this great country and I do like apple pie. Why does that anger you?

Im so sorry you’re all upset

ps; I like NASCAR too and I have the American flag and POW/MIA flag flying in the yard.

Ill post some pictures of my flags and car, so you can see what they look like.

This will probably be my last post on this thread. OK here goes:

65GTOMAN, I remember the GTO quite well. It was a great muscle car & that's why I referred to the Rambler (in marked contrast). I GIVE YOU MY SINCERE APOLOGY & THANK YOU FOR DEFENDING OUR GREAT COUNTRY.

I was never drafted because of my high number (331) in the lottery, but I would have gladly gone. My father was a Navy Captain (physician) & my brother was a leatherneck (sergeant). You veterans made it possible for me to continue my education. My family had money, but I worked my way through school doing a vast number of menial jobs (scrubbing toilets, washing cars, sweeping after carpenters, etc.). I went from living in a large, comfortable house to surviving in some run down apartments with faulty floor-board heating. In the winter, the temps sometimes went down to the 50's in my bedroom. But I knew that through hard work & perseverance, things would get better. Today, I am blessed in many ways- except for my occasional temper...

I overreacted for a number of reasons- some of which are personal & of no concern to anyone. Everything that I have stated in this forum has been truthful and/or humorous (at least I've tried). Who would voluntarily stake public claim to being a founding member of the "Friends of Dan Quayle"? You misinterpreted my comments & have suggested several things:

That I have an attitude- well yes at times- don't you?

That I am a liar- you've unsuccessfully tried to "catch" me several times. This is the worst thing that you can do to a man in "public". If I were a public figure, I would treat it as part of the territory. Otherwise, it's time to put up or shut up.

That I am boastful & a know-it-all. Well I have my moments (my wife will attest to that) but I speak frankly.

Why have you wasted so much of your time obsessively examining my posts under your microscope? Why do you feel that you can call someone a jerk (without knowing them), imply that I am a blowhard (white house visits...), & try to impugn my character (implying I'm a liar) publicly on these boards without my calling you out? Where I come from, these are fighting words.

Like I said, I respect veterans very much. If I had to do it over, I would still take you to task but not as harhly as I did. Better yet, I probably wouldn't have posted anything. I like Rick but he can take care of himself.

I have never been a country club conservative. I believe in all the same things you do- well maybe not NASCAR (although Gibbs is great). However, I cannot defend the socialist agenda that our President is pushing. This President will probably be a one-termer because he (like his father) has taken our conservative votes for granted, while he seeks favor with the Kennedys & Vincente Foxes of the world.

GTO, no need to riposte with snide comments or to question my patriotism further. I'm all talked out. Oh, and I'm not the various people that you claim I am. I'm just an ordinary Spaniard (born US citizen) with a little "Eyetalian". Imagine a 6'1", 196 lbs, shorted- haired version of Serpico- smaller snout than Pacino's. I would post a picture, but it may come back to haunt me like this post...

well, even where the ground doesn't seem to be remotely common, there are always the fundemental truths of life.

cigars rule, america's great and GTOs were/are a rockin' car. 🙂
