FairHooker11 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 No real observance by our president either. just a "canned" response by the WH. Here is a collection of what great leadership looks like - summed up as pin drop moments.... JFK'S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's when DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaulle said he wanted all US Military out of France as soon as possible. Rusk responded, "Does that include those who are buried here?" DeGaulle Did not respond. You Could have heard a pin drop. When in England , At a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of 'empire building' by George Bush. He answered by saying, "Over the years, the United States has sent many of Its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom Beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for In return is enough to bury those that did not Return." You Could have heard a pin drop. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There was a conference in France Where a number of international engineers Were taking part, including French and American. During a break, One of the French engineers came back into the room saying, "Have you Heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft Carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he Intend to do, bomb them?" A Boeing engineer Stood up and replied quietly: "Our carriers have three Hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are Nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to Shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to Feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand Gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a Dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and >From their flight deck. We have eleven such ships; How many does France have?" You Could have heard a pin drop. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A U.S. Navy Admiral Was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large Group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many Languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, "Why is it that We always have to speak English in these conferences rather than Speaking French?" Without hesitating, The American Admiral replied, "Maybe it's because the Brit's, Canadians, Aussie's and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't Have to speak German." You Could have heard a pin drop. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE... Robert Whiting, An elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport In his carry on. "You Have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked Sarcastically. Mr. Whiting Admitted that he had been to France Previously. "Then You should know enough to have your passport ready." The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it." "Impossible.. Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France !" The American senior Gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he Quietly explained, ''Well, when I came ashore at OmahaBeach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen To show a passport to." You Could have heard a pin drop. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who gives a shit who owns the land so long as Halliburton owns the rights to the oil underneath the land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you do is FEEL and provide these knee jerk responses. Plus you didn't add anything to the thread. Just an insult of Vapor and liberals.

calfoxwc Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Pitiful try at irony. For the last time, I will try to get you to be serious for just a second. Libs look at issues emotionally, and react emotionally. Issues. The word "issues". Nobody ever said conservatives don't have emotions. Libs do not make decisions about how they stand on issues rationally, with analysis. They just emote, and regurgitate what their lib professors teach them, or their lib friends teach them. Vapor spewed out in anger over the respect to those who fought in WWII. Why? Fair's post was exactly on the money. But when others are respected, and other things are respected, you libs hate that... because you don't respect anything, or anyone else. You don't even respect yourselves. Hence, the angry knee jerk reaction for no reason. You libs just keep proving what we say about you is exactly correct. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 But getting back to the subject of the thread - it took serious honor, integrity, and guts to fight WWII, gear up for WWII, and change and save the world. That's the "Greatest Generation" for great reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the "Greatest Generation" for great reason. Imagine the balls it took just to leave the landing craft and try and storm the beach. I doubt any of the hippies on this board crying about oil contracts could have mustered up the fortitude to do it. They'd probably be 4-F ers hanging out at home trying to get in the women's pants while the menfolk were taking back France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckofajobbrownie Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Or you could get out of the 60s (hippies? really?) and realize that if you really were that tough you wouldn't have to keep posting about how tough you were. I think we've heard enough of your "I'm more of a man than people who I disagree with politically" routine. It's a bit sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cysko Kid Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 You don't know jack shit about my politics and I never claimed to be "tougher" than anyone. You as usual just interpret it however you want. I find your constant need to be "right" about something sad. Is that how you treat your family?

You don't have to be correct to believe something. Note that I clearly didn't say correct. I said "right" as in hecks classic arguement: "nuh uh! I'm right!" Heck just has a compulsive desire to tell everyone how smart he is and win all arguements real or (mostly) imagined. It's classic narcissism, and a mental deficiency.

heckofajobbrownie Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Dude, I can't help it if the last argument we got in you were all kinds of wrong and couldn't admit it. What do you want me to do, hold you? Sorry it smarted so much. All I'm saying is that it makes you look a little petty when you keep saying that the "hippies" on the board - I'm guessing that'd be me, Woody, and Vapor - are all pussies because ...what? Because we don't think you're right about some things, but think you're right about others? I'm just letting you know that your chest thumping is getting a little old. Or should I say: stop being such a wingnut pussy who hates America and would never defend it. Is that better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my opinions offend you, and my statements fail to stroke your delicate, narcissistic ego, there's an ignore button. You may feel free to push it, its a free country, no ones stopping you. Woody is fun to trade jabs with. He takes it like a man, gives it back, and doesn't get a sandy vagina about it. You're a possible emotional psychopath with a terrible and dark need for attention that I refuse to fill for you. Go ahead and get the last word in, then seek what you require elsewhere.
