Ukraine

Cavalierly dismissed? They were being used as politcal fodder by a hater whose purposes are clear if you follow his posts. I am much more appalled by people who talk about death panels, death taxes, baby killers, welfare queens, etc as they do irreparable harm to our culture. Some opportunists in a country half way around the world that I cannot even talk to? Not sure what you think is cavalier about that.

Apparently you aren't getting the same political leaflets I receive in the mail each election cycle. Its stunning how ignorant people are. As a lawyer I'm sure you know that.

You doubling down?

I had a great manager once who schooled me that he never made a decision that only addressed one issue.

Happy Easter mr. Gweed.

That’s okay, a few years ago on here, he thought people displaying the Confederate flag was playful disobedience or defiance.

Suuuure, I regularly fly a Connie flag next to a Swastika flag just to show a little innocent defiance.  I think I’ll add an old Soviet and Cuban flag to the collection at the new estate.  I’m sure the neighbors will love my playful sense of humor!

Some people do that. The president's press secretary, for instance, likes to display soviet propaganda in his home.  Harmless decor, that is all.

Oops...  Putin keeps saying no Russian military involved in the military operations in eastern Ukraine.  The problem is all the photographs showing Russian military men and intelligence agents in Ukraine.  Some doing the exact things they did in Crimea.

On Saturday the Russian soldiers (who Putin says do not exist) announced they will not be moved from occupied buildings until the government in Kiev is also removed. Putin then laughed off any talks of additional sanctions, and Ukrainian government officials, out of fear of revolt, announced that Russian speaking Ukrainians would be granted "special citizen status" whatever that means.

Meanwhile here in the US, the president, Marvin Nicholson, Joe Paulsen and Marvin's brother Walter discussed next month's release of Chris Brown's new album "X" during 18 holes at Andrews (167th round since January 1st).  Then the president vowed not to make a decision on the Keystone pipeline, or anything for that matter, until after the midterm election, and his dog Bo then went on MSNBC and claimed the decision was in no way political.

"You need to muzzle that..."

Never mind.

Bo's looking a little sickly, too many vegetables and not enough grains and meat.........

Oh, I don't know, removes 4,150 tankers full of oil off of our roads and rails each day!  Reduces transmission costs, and increases environmental safety at the same time.

I mean, you're right, we really don't need it.  The oil is getting to our refineries anyway, it's just getting there on these:


and these:


Either way, it's going to get there, libs are just going to have to figure out the mode of transportation they prefer.

Interesting you should post a picture of a train wreck.  That's usually what your posts devolve into Scott...

Just sayin'.

[Townsend]

Pipelines don't solve that issue either...

[Gaspar]

Nope, but the risk is significantly smaller. Significantly.


So the choice is still whether we choose the safest mode of transport, or default to the least safe while we play politics.
