1. Haha-"don't hold me responsible". If he's as smart as his mom,
he'll do just fine here. Welcome, RandomHero! :toast:

20. Not really
Do'nt tell her I said this but she is decidedly more intelligent than I. I got this whole pseudointellectual thing going on and mostly stick to those issues that I am mildly informed about or care about. She knows all of these topics frontwards and backwards.

11. hah
We'll see about that, my views run pretty much completely
counter to my moms. We agree on veterans affairs and that is
about the extent of it :-) Gotta love her though

15. Your Mom is one of my favorite people...
My advice would be to read as much as possible at first and disagree in an agreeable way. This group is "democraticunderground" but some Republicans have been accepted in the discussion.

23. I shouldn't have to say this, but catching some flack on one interp of one line.
And it is ridiculous, check the complexions, it was not a reference to some stupid group, It was linking to the Angels of Avalon from the other song. Just because a group uses a moniker it does not mean it is them. Such comments are far older then some ridiculous group.

13. Point of fact
Most of my views run right of center but I am not a slave to
that particular agenda it just happens to be what I believe
more often than not. At any rate the most redily i dentifiable
label for what I am is probably conservative but a
conservative libretarian is more accurate, I think. With a
healthy sprinkling of constitutionalist.

21. Welcome to DU, RH. Your mother and I refer to each other as 'neighbor' as
we live in neighboring counties, she in Ellis and me in Johnson. Since you're in Tarrant, I'm honored to have you as my neighbor. So, howdy neighbor!

27. No offense, but why would he want to post here?
If he is conservative/libertarian... it makes no sense.

And this is from someone who has admired the numerous LTE's you have made, as well as someone who has followed your medical circumstances (thank goodness you are ok).

I guess I don't understand. :shrug:

31. Well . . .
I am deeply offended, and hurt. hahaha To be honest with you I do'nt know, contrasting points of view interest me. Though I'll probably tire of beating my head against the wall and go back to muscular development and talk about workin out and steroids and what not, for now though we'll see what happens.

Oh and mom, you know I am capable of "getting your goat" (as the geriatric expression goes) any time I see fit. :-)

36. Dude, grammar is your friend!
P.S. If you want to get ripped, or talk about getting ripped, you should talk to our resident vegan: flvegan. No steroids necessary!
