BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse


I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.


As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........


Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......


Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......


How did I get here from there?

Aaron Sorkin: Bumper-Sticker Patriotism Is No Way to Honor Our Veterans


"Have you ever killed anyone?"

  "No."



 

"Have you ever been shot at?"

"No, not really."






"What's PTSD?"





If you have to turn to an aide for an answer to that, please get off the stage. There are real leaders like Mike and Jennifer we'd like to listen to. And that's how you can support our troops.



Funny how gays and lesbians have to give up their freedom of speech rights in order to defend a country claiming freedom of speech;  yet, still be dishonoralbly discharged if their sexual preference becomes known.
Translation:  They are willing to risk being killed, PTSD, losing a limb, scarred for life, etc, etc, etc,.... even suicide; while knowing they could be dishorornalby discharged from the military because of a little old lady who never cussed, smoke, or drank  chanced upon a kiss. 

Funny,
had she screamed,
 "FAG,"
which is protected by the First Amendment,
they could have silenced her.

But no!
No longer soldiers, 
Reverne Phelps is certain to  pickett their funeral with his
"GOD HATES FAGS"
signs now that everyone knows.

"One thing I like about the Digital age: having the dictionary at my fingertips, how easy it is to look up unfamiliar words as I go along reading."
