Although only after a lifetime of paying taxes to support a military that hires and promotes idiots like you. What a waste of money that was. I at least expected a little more bang for my buck.<BR/><BR/>I came to this website at sporie's invitation, one which I'm sure he wishes he could take back. Though not interested in most of the Iowa issues, sporie occasionally posts on issues of national importance and I keep up because I know he will need some clarification of his views.<BR/><BR/>As with all websites you run across intellectual wannabes like you and engaging in a little back and forth keeps the mind fresh. Oh yea, I much prefer an adversary with a tad more capability than you have but we don't always get what we wish for, so you'll have to do. You don't offer me much intellectual exercise but I get a lot of laughs from your inanity.<BR/><BR/>Now I don't know that I ever said who I am, other than who I say I am, but if I'm not who I say I am then you'll never know who I am if I'm not inclined to say who I am.<BR/><BR/>I can leave you with just this solace: "I think, therefore I am".Art A Laymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02463128235828410052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30015942.post-74251358686164709272008-08-14T13:06:00.000-05:002008-08-14T13:06:00.000-05:00Art,I failed to see what you did for a living in y...Art,<BR/><BR/>I failed to see what you did for a living in your very brief list of accomplishments. It really does not matter anyway because any accomplishments might be fictitious considering you thrive in anonymity. You may as well Harry Freaking Reid (I hate that guy) since you have his same illogical and self-serving positions. Of course, Harry hangs out in D.C. and last we heard you hail from N.C., which is close but no cigar. No matter, your silly positions and less than interesting prose while espousing your unending lunacy simply mean you are a pest with a computer. If you were from Iowa, I could at least appreciate your interest in this website. I may detest whack job libs like you but I do not look for them in places I will never live.

That totting a gun, maybe killing people, barking orders, assures you a place in the annals of the history of man? <B>Ambition should be made of sterner stuff</B>.<BR/><BR/>I don't know that I have any talents that exceed those of most. As I stated above, all I've done was raise a family, maintained a marriage for 45 years, provided decently for my family and muddled through my mundane existence. Certainly not noteworthy.<BR/><BR/>I knew I was making a mistake in my quest for knowledge, when I decided not to take that course on <I>Iowa Studies</I>. Little did I know at the time that it held the keys to universal wisdom.<BR/><BR/>I don't recall that I ever purported to be hyper-educated. I have a decent education but, again, nothing noteworthy. Does it surprise anyone that with your superior intellect you would determine that I lack understanding in every academic arena? It might better support your premise if you exhibited any capacity for understanding the meaning of "academic".<BR/><BR/>What is really impressive is your reference point for analytic comparison. Many have extolled the educational enhancing value of watching Seinfeld or the plethora of other TV shows that add to intellect through osmosis. I believe most academicians recommend watching all the TV you can. Of course there is the question of whether you could even understand Seinfeld, especially given your fixation with George.<BR/><BR/>You really should consider altering your diatribe or finding another hobby. Currently you are reflecting horribly on the reputation of military officers. Could it be that you were no more than a Private or Corporal and are now just living your own TV fantasy?

For that matter, I bet a Rent-a-Cop position would be a promotion for you. <BR/><BR/>You really talk a lot of trash for a guy who does not know anything about Iowa. You purport to be hyper-educated but lack understanding in every academic arena. Your simply a has been lib who hates the United States in everything you say and do. You remind me of George Costanza in the way he tells everyone he is an architect, which is great except he is perpetually unemployed. George is not an architect either but at least his brand of charlatanism is humorous while yours is boorish.Ken Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12920508283824085783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30015942.post-25472560487558818832008-08-14T09:00:00.000-05:002008-08-14T09:00:00.000-05:00kennie:Did you learn your impressive investigative...kennie:<BR/><BR/>Did you learn your impressive investigative abilities in the military?

In fact, one would be inclined not to accept any judgments from you regarding most anything.<BR/><BR/>I never resort to anonymous postings. I, like you, am an egomaniac and should one of my posts turn out to represent the wisdom of the ages I want to make sure my name is on it. <BR/><BR/>Engaging the likes of you in verbal tiddledywinks does not require additional support. On occasion you might want to take your head out of your butt and gaze upon reality for a change.<BR/><BR/>The insecurity of your physical surroundings is surpassed only by the mental insecurity revealed in your blithering utterances.<BR/><BR/>It must be frustrating to realize that once the war is over and you return to our hallowed shores, your talents leave you ill equipped for anything other than a Rent-a-Cop position.Art A Laymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02463128235828410052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30015942.post-46034320472548720102008-08-13T23:52:00.000-05:002008-08-13T23:52:00.000-05:00I love it when Libs can't win on the issues...they...I love it when Libs can't win on the issues...they go to anything they think can work.<BR/><BR/>If they LOSE (AS ART DOES EVERYTIME HE POSTS) he resorts to anonymous responses for additional support.

Ah, that stuff is just too funny to ignore and even funnier is the fact Dems and African Americans still rally behind the guy. How many dead strippers will it take them to realize the truth about this guy? <BR/><BR/>The conclusion of the matter is you Libs are self-destructive in every way while Conservatives carry you along like dead weight. Attacking us in our traditionally strongest areas of religion, morality, and national defense is the latest tactic but it is doomed to fail once we expose your attacks to the light. <BR/><BR/>I love the picture of Obama and the racist reverend.

If you could only learn to channel your pent up anger in more constructive ways and form logical arguments in support of liberal positions I could respect you a bit. RF makes points with logic and his posts are infinitely more readable than yours. You dislike what we say and resort to childish tantrums to drown out opponents. I assume that hysterical crying worked with your mother but you should have learned more effective ways to get your point across as you grew into adulthood. I suspect your teenage years were pretty awkward and college had to be pretty lonely given your level of socialization.<BR/><BR/>I notice you particularly relish going after me based on my time in the military. You do not limit your condemnation to my service rather you indict all military professionals with your antagonistic vision of what we represent. Moveon.org tried the same tactic against general Petraeus and it backfired because the American public knows an obvious lark when they see one. This country was not built on the backs of people like you since you only get in the way of those who produce. <BR/><BR/>I want to sum up my view of you with one word….PATHETIC!Ken Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12920508283824085783noreply@blogger.com
