HeySlick's Anti-Muslim Derail
Quote: HeySlickI fought for this country (Korea 67/68 Vietnam 68/69). For some reason the powers that be, believe it's time for a woman President --- what next? elect an homosexual or maybe a transgender/bisexual President -- WTF? has happened to our once great nation/Country?
It's called Equality In Fact.

Your mantra seems to be "I served my country, to hell with blacks and queers;" what do you say about the death of this soldier?
The world has changed; keep up or get the hell out of the way.

BS! (the bolded area above). It's unfortunate that female soldier lost her life. I never said any such thing about blacks and queers (that's your term of endearment). I did say that just because we've elected a Black man as President does that mean the next one should be a woman, or maybe a homosexual/transgender/bisexual - how about we elect someone who's competent & respects the Constitution.
How convenient of you to overlook my comment (last post pg.5) regarding the BLM protestors potentially rioting at the MOA today.
edit/add
Instead of meaningless protests, why doesn't BLM actually do something to show that black lives do in fact matter? How about going into these hard-core, gang-infested cities and giving black youth something to do? How about teaching black children the importance of getting an education? How about revitalizing inner cities where there is nothing but decay and despair? How about putting out Public Service Announcements that there is hope and alternatives to violence? If black lives matter, then do something for the black community. Yes, there is police brutality, but that is far from the main problem plaguing black communities.

That statement shows your antedeluvian prejudices, HeySlick.
There is no reason a "woman, or maybe a homosexual/transgender/bisexual" can not be competent enough to hold any political office.
Please explain how a person's gender or sexual preferences affect competence.
In the end, it is up to we WHO VOTE to choose; guys like you who bitch and moan and throw greasy popcorn at the movie screen and don't vote really don't count.
It looked, or sounded, like you were shouting out to Slick. I also read your post, did the links, spent some time in thought. I try, at times, intermittent times, to become a better man, a better person. I admit I'm a bit slow, I ask only for some patience as I try to catch up with the world......Quote: MrVIt's called Equality In Fact.

No it doesn't. This country will NEVER elect a sexually confused individual as President.....period. Unlike you and other liberals I have traditional moral values - America was never founded on the principles you subscribe to. Why don't you try convincing radical Muslim terrorist they need to get with the times - i.e., allow more diversity within their ranks e.g., Homosexuals and transgender individuals.

America has changed from the agrarian backwater it was in 1776, and the times, mores and political values have changed with it.
While I'm no authority on the subject, I suspect there were about as many homosexuals and cross-dressers in Days of Yore as there are today: people are people.
BTW you have no idea as to my "moral values:" you only know what little you glean from this board, which is a mere snippet.
FWIW I consider myself socially liberal, fiscally and militarily conservative, and always vote Libertarian whenever possible.
Dear MrV, methinks you stepped over a line that you meant not to. Maybe you can get a one day suspension, cause I like to read what you write. You know we love you here, right?Quote: MrVAmerica has changed from the agrarian backwater it was in 1776, and the times, mores and political values have changed with it.

All the hateful crap you've spewed in this thread aside, I can actually agree with this.

Yeah I was confused on how his post was offensive. I have second thoughts posting on this site more than anywhere else.
I suggest "frustrated vent from HeySlick, incl Muslims and Blacks"
Maybe that's not best either....
I do not like the thread title, did I say that already?
Quote: RSWhen Obama was running for president in (2008 or whatever it was), of course people were talking about the presidential election. They asked whom I'd vote for, I said McCain. I asked them whom they'd vote for, some said Obama. I asked why. A huge majority of people said something to the tune of "because he's black". That is a problem. And the same thing will be a problem in the future, when women/gay/transgender/Mexican/etc. run for president.
I feel/believe you're mistaken about a woman or Mexican running for President as being problematic - isn't there a woman and two Mexican candidates (Cruz, Rubio) vying for that position right now? Competence unfortunately has NO bearing whatsoever on who gets elected currently --- it's coming down to some kind of right of passage issue. I don't feel/think Trump (to honest) will get the nomination -- the truth doesn't matter any longer, the biggest liar will be our next President.
I'm lost again. Did you accuse Cruz or Rubio of being a women? Or Mexican women? Or just being a candidate ( which I must admit is just cause for some suspicion )Quote: HeySlickQuote: RSWhen Obama was running for president in (2008 or whatever it was), of course people were talking about the presidential election.

Korean War ended in 1953; if you were 17 in 1953 [got in by lying about your age] you'd have to be at least 79. If you were at least 19 as almost all were, at least, you are at least 81.
Quote: odiousgambitHey Slick, you are 'up there' - good to see someone your age on the internet. I figure you are 80-something.

I never stated I fought in the Korean War - I did say my tour of duty consisted of (Korea 67/68 Vietnam 68/69) FYI I'll turn 69 in March of next year. BTW I was in Korea (1968) when our supposed spy ship (the Pueblo) was captured by the north Koreans.
I'm lost again. Did you accuse Cruz or Rubio of being a women? Or Mexican women? Or just being a candidate ( which I must admit is just cause for some suspicion )
NO -- I said isn't there a woman (Hilary Clinton) and two Mexicans (Cruz,Rubio) vying for that position -- I guess I shouldn't assume most people know what gender those last two individuals are.

There are 2 women (Clinton and Fiorina), and 2 Cuban-Americans (Cruz, Rubio) running. No Mexicans. I'm guessing they're hard for you to tell apart.

NO there's ONE female Democrat running for President - I didn't mean to offend either one of those two Cuban-Americans candidates by referring to them as Mexicans.

I like how she constantly refers to herself
as 'president Fiorina', that always cracks
me up. Or when Lindsey Graham, polling
at under 1%, dropped out and whines
about how hard he worked to get ready
to be commander in chief. You have to
wonder, are these people for real? They
can't be serious.
Quote: MrVDon't distract the poor guy with facts: he's on a roll.
She's insignificant - too small or unimportant to be worth consideration. BTW I can even chew gum and walk at the same time. Your know - it - all attitude reminds me of something Harry S Truman once said:
"The only things worth learning are the things you learn after you know it all"

I'm done for now - me and my two 20lb. dumbbells are going for a walk in my community -- btw I've been doing that routine for well over 12 years. Why join some health spa or gym when I can do it for free and be outside.

I agree with you about the value of walking in our daily lives.
I walk regularly, to get a bit of cardio exercise; I also go daily to a fitness center where I do a daily routine involving Keiser weight machines (much better than free weights, or bowflex, I think).
You and I may disagree on some things, but there is no arguing the benefits of regular exercise; if nothing else it should allow us a longer lifespan and with it the ability to contribute more circular discussions.

I'm not to sure about getting circular -- however, I do get inverted on my Teeter board at times, sure relieves the stiffness in my neck after overdoing it with my dumbbells --- accumulating/&or lifting several tons over the span of 2 hours or so. I refuse to let myself get physically weak in my old - er. age days of tomorrow.

When you joined the service you swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution. In the opening post of this thread, you suggested that President Obama is an "overt Muslim." I don't believe that's true, and I don't think you're using the word "overt" properly, but let's set that aside and take your accusation as a given.

The Constitution you swore to support explicitly says "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States" (U.S. Const. art. VI, § 3), so why should you care about the faith of the President?

Of course you are today, Korea 2 and Vietnam were almost 50 years ago. But you weren't a civilian then, which means you did swear to support the Constitution when you were drafted. Are you saying you've renounced your oath and no longer bear allegiance to the Constitution? Or was your statement "I fought for this country in Korea and Vietnam" intended to give the false impression that you were in the military?Quote: HeySlickQuote: MathExtremistWhen you joined the service you swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution.

Regardless of whether you did or did not swear the Oath of Enlistment, and whether you still feel obligated to that oath, the Constitution says what it says. Do you disagree with Article VI? Do you believe there should be a faith test for holding public office? If not, why do you care about the faith of the President?

You're dodging my questions far better than you dodged the draft. Do you disagree with Article VI of the Constitution? Do you believe there should be a faith test for holding public office? If not, why do you care about the faith of the President?Quote: HeySlickThe oath is for an indeterminate period; no duration is specifically defined. FYI The obligation is for the term (s) of service e.g., Draftees served for 2 years, enlistees 3 years. I don't owe my soul to that oath endlessly neither do most who served -- stop being so self - righteous.

Are you insinuating I'm lying about serving in the Army? I joined the Army in Aug. of 1966 and received a draft notice while I was in basic training (Ft. Lewis). At that time the Army was using this adage "choice not chance" so I joined instead of leaving chance up to the powers that be --- what a freaking joke that turned out to be. I wanted to serve in Germany - The Army sent me to Korea -- BTW Korea was considered 'hardship duty'. Supposedly soldiers didn't have to serve more than one hardship tour in their enlistment term (3 years). That turned out to be untrue --- I got levied to Vietnam 6 month later (back to back hardship tours).

No, I believe you served. I don't believe you support the Constitution and perhaps you never did even when you swore to. I'm not going to ask again whether you believe in a faith test for public office, or why you care about the President's faith, because it's clear you're not going to answer. But think about whether your opinion is more or less well-considered than Thomas Jefferson's was when he specifically laid out the policy against a faith test. The freedoms you ostensibly fought to preserve didn't exist when the Constitution was drafted.Quote: HeySlickAre you insinuating I'm lying about serving in the Army?

A truly whacko quasi-religious conservative conspiracy site.
They serve up half-baked ideas to those seemingly unable to think and analyze the issue clearly for themselves, who then spout them as gospel.

Anakin Skywalker is Vader's actual name. Darth Vader is the Sith name that was bestowed upon him by Darth Sidious. Anakin's name doesn't change, he just adopts a new one.

There are plenty of ways to argue with HeySlick, but I don't see questioning his allegiance to the Constitution as the best one --- I suspect there are lots of people that wouldn't mind a religious test for the office of the presidency. Disagreeing with parts of the Constitution? Shocking.
Plenty of college students don't seem to be happy with the first amendment, I'd guess millions of citizens have problems with the 2nd.

I don't have a problem/or issue with Article VI -- IMO President Obama is deceitful that's my biggest qualm -- there isn't much honesty or integrity in today's political climate.
I'm not suggesting that anything is wrong with disagreeing with the Constitution per se. After all, the Constitution was amended to outlaw alcohol before saner heads prevailed, so it's clearly not an infallible document.Quote: CalderThere are plenty of ways to argue with HeySlick, but I don't see questioning his allegiance to the Constitution as the best one --- I suspect there are lots of people that wouldn't mind a religious test for the office of the presidency.

But I don't put much stock in criticism of another man's faith coming from someone who's broken an oath under his own, especially after holding up his military service as an example of his credibility. Implying that the President is unqualified to hold office merely because he's accused to be Muslim is ridiculous; literally, worthy of ridicule. There is no evidence or history to support the idea that managing the affairs of this country has anything to do with one's belief in a particular version of the Abrahamic deity, or even zero to N non-Abrahamic deities.
