Hello all,
Just wandered in and you folks seem, at first glance anyway, people who have the same general thoughts as me about the way our country is headed. I'm a lifelong southerner who will soon turn 56. I am a veteran, patriot and as most of my conservative rethuglican colleagues would say a flaming liberal. The banner on the top of my weblog Fallenmonk pretty much sums up what I believe and it is a quote from John F. Kennedy

QUOTE

If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people - their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties - someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad; if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal." - John F. Kennedy

I look forward to getting to know you all.

Hey FallenMonk,

I am a newbie too. Here.

I definitely eppreciate the inputs of Veterans on any board I haunt. I would love to first encourage and then perhaps work with you to develop a stronger veterans voice and presence.

I am not a vet, but I follow 4 generations of veterans in my family tree.

There is a need for and a strong movement among vets to become spokespersons for the challenges of our times. I know lots of very powerfully vocal guys who would love to lite up a new board.

Welcome

Cosmic Irony
Is there some sardonic jokester that coincides the American death toll in Iraq surpassing 1,800 with "Mission Accomplished boy" starting his month long vacation. Even richer is that this marks the 50th trip to the ranch since he wasn't elected which means he is averaging 10 trips a year. Oh yeah, and we're paying for it.
Do you think this vacation he will get to ignore a PDB warning of an imminent attack?

I especially like this sentence....."Even richer is that this marks the 50th trip to the ranch since he wasn't elected which means he is averaging 10 trips a year." Italics added by moi. source
