Story is that this guy was wearing his protective ear flap while Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy and Barack Hussein Obama were speaking at the VFW this past week.  Love to buy this man a beer.

Bwahaha...my Elements of Persuasion professor just showed us this picture...

It's good to know that there are a few people around who aren't complete sheep!

The photo is actually from August 23, 2005 when president Bush addressed a Veterans of Foreign Wars group.
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt

Hey sanjuancb ... where are you in OK?  I am in Montana right now but have a house in Edmond.  Taking Elements of Pesuasion?  My BA is in Comm Theory and had a lot of Pesuasion & Attitude Change classes.  Lot's of fun.

I'm at Oklahoma State University right now, working on a B.A. in Political Science and a minor in Middle Eastern Studies. I was actually going to be a Speech Communication major and they phased out the program!

Probably a good thing they phased it out.  It seems to produce slackers that drink way too much beer and like to argue for sexual gratification.  Have fun in school!   Ron

Haha...thanks. That still sounds better than what the Poli-Sci program produces...

Regardless of the date, event, or political affiliation, this Veteran about sums up politics in general. :P

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.
