Neil Young Ready for War

Neil was a Reagan supporter back in the 80s. People tend to try to pigeonhole me here for my political leanings but truth is, I vote for whoever I think is best suited for the job no matter their political party.

I didn't realize that the presidency of the United States is a popularity contest. I always thought is was about leadership. Huh, silly me.

I could not agree with you more Jah. Party is not a factor for me, ability is paramount.

These folks that cry how it's "unAmercian" to not support the President or say if you don't support Shrub that you're helping the terrorists are full of it. Which always reminds me of one of my very quotes from one of my very favorite performers:

"The most important thing to remember is, no matter what anybody tells you, it is never, ever unpatriotic or un-American to question anything in a democracy"

-- Steve Earle

Absolutely, we should question everything. It is the only means of keeping the chaos of our government in check. This quote, when was it spoken? It is obviously relevant to the current administration, but it is also relevant to those opposed to this administration. It is a check on both sides of any argument. There is another quote, "Light is the best antiseptic." Not sure who said it, but things are only brought to light through questioning.

Well, I guess it's better than being cornholed for those beliefs, right?

And Bill Clinton was, and still is, a helluva leader. He's also popular. Two traits that the current squatter in the White House doesn't exactly have going for him.

Didn't we have this conversation yesterday, btw, and at that time I said that you guys were getting to the point of being so silly as to not be taken seriously?

No, actually you left the conversation when I countered one of your silly arguments with statistical evidence that you were wrong. But if that is what you call silly, so be it.

Clinton was not a good leader. He is, however, an excellent, even consumate politician. Do not confuse the two.

Green, don't take this the wrong way, but I have yet to see that you actually know any more about politics than my cats do. And I don't take my cats very seriously, either. Oh, I'm sure they think that they know what they are meowing about, but sooner or later they get on my nerves and I ignore them. Or put them in the garage and close the door on them.

Sorta like the way I was trying to politely ignore you yesterday.

Damn, I was pulling for you until you said you're a cat owner. After that, I can't put any serious credence in anything you'd have to say.

I understand. When you are confronted with facts that you cannot counter you get all riled up and start throwing insults as your talking points don't carry any weight. My fault for trying to engage you in an adult conversation. Should I start a Mickey Mouse thread for you? Or better yet, just go back to your motorcycles. They won't make you think too hard.

Be nice now, be nice. I've got this 27 lb. martini-sipping Manx that's bigger than a lot of dogs. You hurt his feelings and you are on your own.

And a slutty 7 lb. wildcat that was a refugee from the Applebee's where we have our motorcycle club meetings. She's a mean one, and terrorizes the Manx.

Finally, old Romeo may or may not be a retired varmint from the Hemingway House. No one's confessin' nuthin' here, let's put it that-a-way

A cat-owning biker...no wonder this country is circling the bowl - we can't even depend on our men to be men.

Hey, don't hold it against him just because he doesn't like pussy.

Cats.

Oh, I like 'em just fine. Provided you just run over the head...and they gotta be grilled just right.

Nothing quite like a little sweet and sour tabby, eh?

I've been telling Bosswoman that if the varmints don't behave we can trade one or two in at the pollo asada and pollo barbacoa (bar-b-que) shacks. At the very least the ones that manage to continue the trip are bound to behave a helluva lot better.

<it's a joke folks -- I wouldn't harm a hair on their furry little pointed heads>
