18th birthday at boot camp. I only have an associate's which I completed while still in the Navy. Lots of 14 hour days with work, school, and studying. I commend on your education that you have achieved. I know all the blame can't be put on Obama, but he is always pointing the fingers at the Republicans. How can he blame it all the time on the Republicans.

As a another peace offering I will take down my avatar and quote.

NASCAR, I have this weird feeling I'm going to end up liking you . I have no doubt you are a good man who works his butt off to support his family and you hate that fact that you don't have more to show for all the work you do. You're not the only one who feels this way but you're being suckered in by ALL the politicians, few of them are looking out for our best interests, they want to take care of their donors and themselves. In my personal opinion, we are all wrong to be a member of any party - they all have their good and bad side. You can not blindly support one side unless they are doing exactly what you want them to do - and no party is doing exactly what YOU want. Political parties expect people to be loyal to them so you blindly vote for them, no questions asked.

NASCAR, you upset folks here because you blindly support one side without seeing both sides - you are a Rebublican puppet who appears to parrot the right-wing talking points... But you're not alone, there are others here that do the same thing, on both sides. People don't have fun "arguing" with you because you can't even acknowledge that the other side has a point. What hurts you the most is when you insult people because they disagree with you. There's no need to tell someone they are a moron or that they should crawl under a rock just because their opinion is different from yours. If you don't like what they say, simply say, "I don't agree with you, you haven't changed my opinion". People can respect that, they just get defensive when you insult them.

I have no doubt that you're a good guy in person and I'd probably enjoy sitting down and having a beer with you at the track. Try not to insult people and I'd bet more DTers would be far more receptive to you. Thank you for accepting my olive branch, I do appreciate it.
