Obliviously, you didn't get his point, so maybe it helps to break it down to just the relevant text, to improve the potential for reading comprehension.  My takeaway is that he regularly attends air shows and is very aware of what they're about.  Also that you, like most people, are very ill equipped to definitively state what is in other people's minds.

You must know that Airventure is waaaaaay more than an air show.

He doesn't.

Sun 'N Fun is in my back yard, and I'm a habitual attendee.

So what's your point? 

Refuting yours.

Heard a good one - The Democrats haven't been this angry since Lincoln freed their slaves.

Spin Zone / Trump is a narcissist
« on: July 17, 2018, 06:23:55 PM »
But so was Obama. 

I just watched a documentary on Trump. I suspected he might be anyway, but now I'm more convinced than ever.  But at this point in history, I think it takes a narcissist to have the supreme level of confidence to stand up to the sustained attacks from the media, the deep state and the hysterical left. He simply refuses to be bested by them. Maybe you have to have a narcissistic belief in yourself to withstand all that.

Obama's narcissism was a fake image (messiah-like) promising a utopia that he never could bring.

Trump's narcissism is fueling a drive to succeed as President against all these enemies - I truly think the more they attack him, the more resolved he is to come out on top.  In his prior life he tended to construct monuments to himself.  Now, he is constructing the biggest monument of all - his legacy as President, and he is trying to make it as great a legacy as possible, and fortunately for us, how he is doing it happens to align with what is good for America.

From his business experience, or his advisers, or where ever, he came up with his campaign promises, and now he is fulfilling them, almost like he made plans for a building, and now he is constructing them.  Fortunately, much of what he's doing is very, very good for America, whether he truly cares, or whether he's just doing it for his own glory, doesn't matter.

Maybe it was only chance that he ran on the Republican ticket, and listens to conservative advisers. Maybe if things had been different, he would have run as a Democrat or a liberal. Maybe he cares less about which side he is on, than about what will uplift him the most. Maybe he simply has enough brains to know that conservative economic policies are what will build America, and hence his own legacy.

In any case, I'm enjoying my tax cut.

NATO is like the femi-nazis and free birth control. They think they are entitled to our support, our military protection and our money, while doing squat to help themselves.

As is the United Nations.  The world's welfare queens.  Let's give them all Obama phones, and be done with it.

Poor baby. Maybe they can make you a Grand Exalted Wizard Moderator.  Libs always like to tell others what to do.
Asechrest is joking, for heaven’s sake! He likes to pretend he is the type of liberal we are always complaining about.

What a letdown – you libs were totally promised that you and your elite cohort would rule forever, unchallenged, over the filthy hordes infesting America’s non-coastal regions, and then all of a sudden those nasty Normals got militant and elected Donald Trump. It’s not fair, damnit! And it just gets worse and worse as things in America, under Trump, get better and better.

Spin Zone / Re: SCOTUS rules for Colorado Baker
« on: June 05, 2018, 07:21:38 AM »
How about if we have a guideline that says nobody will tell someone else what to think, even if it means they get offended?  How about if we have guidelines that state that everyone is free to act on their own conscience and nobody will ever be forced to serve another? 

Or if you are in favor of compelling service, how will you limit that to avoid slavery?  I see no difference between compelling an unwanted business transaction and slavery.  I define slavery as compelled service with inadequate compensation given the repulsive nature of the service.  That seems to fit what Colorado forced on Phillips, complete with the whipping for non compliance.
Exactly. Avoiding offense is the road to destruction. Political correctness kills. Human flourishing requires conflict and its resolution. Removal of conflict, a life force, results in death. It will be interesting to see what happens to Starbucks now that they have removed the critical and appropriate boundaries between paying customers and literally everyone else. And so on down the road of no offending.

After President Trump finishes his second term, we can look forward to the two terms of President Pence.

I have a three party, post-dated check, written on a napkin in crayon, drawn on a Somali bank. I'll send it right over, and you can give us said valuable consideration once it's in your hands.

(tongue firmly in cheek) 8)

Ignoring for a moment your fairly loose definition of Cold, Hard Cash, and if it's all the same to you, I'd like to do something different. I have a personal check made out for ten thousand dollars US (10 000). This check was intended to be a donation to an LGBTQIA adult orphanage overseas, which by happenstance I learned of while watching Current TV, and was heartstruck by the plight of the poor souls and their parent-less journey of sexual discoveries therefore-and-of. Unfortunately, I later discovered that this charity was a scam, and quite a dirty.

However, I cannot stomach the idea that a tree gave its life-force to create the paper upon which this check is printed (I Didn't Build That, the tree did), and since I haven't as of yet filled out the payable line due to awaiting a call from the orphanage for disclosure of their corporate and fictitious nomenclatures, I'd like to make it payable to one Ser Mr invflatspin ('ihnvurted flaht spihn'). I do this in recognition of the fine opportunity you have given me to spokespers (verb) in front of you and your great brethren on this usenet server. All I ask is that you cash this cheque post-haste, and wire to me without delay a sum of money equal only to my small spokesperson fee of ten and a half hundred dollars US (10 1/2 100). The rest you may keep for your services and hospitality, on behalf of my country the US of America, Florida.

Kindly pardon me for the intrusion, and I look forward to indication of your interest.

Sincerely,

Robert Baratheon Bartholomew Tema II ("Bob")

Spin Zone / Re: Boulder CO ignores 2nd A, goes hard left on guns

There's no judge in Boulder CO county that will entertain a personal lawsuit against a sitting counsel man unless they did something pretty outrageous.

You mean like mass deprivation of civil rights?

I don't think it's extreme at all.  Democrats have been unbelievably hostile to every Trump nominee so far.  They have blocked or delayed almost everyone, then they complain that Trump hasn't filled all the seats yet.  While Trump is trying to navigate real problems, like North Korea stabilization, China Trade, Russian interference in Syria and all the other problems, he is having to fight Democrats and Never-Trumpers on every front.  Then, while he fighting off all their partisan attacks, they are accusing him of creating chaos in the white house.  Trump, and America, are suffering death by a thousand cuts from the Democrats.  I just hope he get a few more judges seated before the Dems succeed in destroying him and us.
Your argument is that Trump is fighting the good fight and everyone else is just standing in his way? I hope you can recognize that some, and certainly not all, of the problems inside the White House are Trump's own doing through his tweets, his changing statements on subjects, etc.

Attempting to block or otherwise stall nominations is called politics and that's always the way it is. The Republicans control the Senate so any stalling on judicial nominations is on them, not the Democrats. America isn't "suffering death by a thousand cuts from the Democrats" either. Our system was intentionally designed to make it difficult to get things done. I just don't buy this narrative that Trump is an angel everyone else who isn't 100% on board is just part of the problem. That kind of thinking limits debate and would have Republicans up in arms (as it has in the past) if it were a Democratic president (read: Obama's now infamous "pen and phone" comments).

Two guys in my neighborhood just bought new Ford trucks. One told me the dealer said 85% of his sales are trucks. Personally, I feel encouraged about our country when people, especially men, buy trucks. The spindly man-bun gammas in their Priuses creep me out.

Go after me, libs! I don't care!

I wish this pink would decide if he’s an adult and is the “expert” on gun control (his word), or if he’s a wilting child able to be offended as such.

It sounds like he’s an adult when he’s dictating the terms of the debate and verbally eviscerating anyone who disagrees with him, but he’s a child when someone criticizes his diatribes.

Can’t have it both ways, Sparky.
