[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 201800, member: 2189"] On the misunderstanding, I think that may be true on my part as your posted link in another thread to the Classical liberal article was very eye opening about you. We may have a whole lot more in common than I imagined. OH Boy, think of the fun we are gonna have! :lol: I'll slip into something sexy and meet you at the no tell motel! :lol::lol::lol: Seriously, I'd have been better served in hindsight to have really addressed my post to Big and Diesel instead of you but for whatever reason your post and some comments by diesel just merged in my thinking process at the time and you got dumped on. Hope you will accept my apology for that gross oversite. I still completely stand by my point but with the change that is fairness instead of you it should be Big. And really it's not so much Big and Diesel themselves but rather folks like them who are so locked into this mentality that this party or that party is the only mechanism to save us.

I see that thinking as not only dangerous but fatal to the democratic republic given to us nearly 250 years ago. JMHO As for the libertarians doing anything for the vets?
