My partiality for Joe Biden is somewhat akin to hedging my bets. Of all the candidates running so far in the Democratic primary, he is the least dangerous in my opinion. It's kind of equivalent to putting a put option on a stock to protect me in the event of a drop in price (ie Trump loses in 2020). If that is the case I would much rather have Biden as President than anyone else running. My opinion regarding the 2016 election was the Hillary may have been the only opponent that Trump could have beat. There is a large segment of the voting populace that votes on likability or un-likability regardless of policy. I've never been a 'let it all ride' investor, or gambler and feel the same with politicians. I have noticed an increasing amount of frustration among some of my right leaning compatriots regarding Trump's slash and burn style. He is wearing thin with many fence sitters but the extreme left could be his salvation if any of them get the nomination. It is truly a crap shoot at this point.

Interesting. Since it did not show the weapons, I just figured Vietnam. Still, a great picture. Upon closer inspection, these soldiers are wearing Pacific Theater fatigues.

Justyo clarify, I did not take the picture. It is from WWII when it was perhaps less acceptable, but it makes the point.
I stumbled across this site when looking for the image. www.artofmanliness.com |

Bobby Tony, you mix it up well. And we here at BCN are the great beneficiaries. Great picture by the way, I shoot a bunch of images, and I may never shoot one this profound.
Joe would make a terrible president, but, I do respect his flashes of standing up for what should be right - this whole touching thing is far over blown, and do agree with you and Joe on that. Just this weekend, we visited some old friends, and they are a good bit older than my wife and I, so I made sure that I invaded our female friend's personal space, and announced that I just experienced a bidengasm (coined by your truly). She is a full fledged Deplorable, so she well enjoyed the invasion. |

Agreed; however, I can't stomach but so much CNN and MSNBC.
Wrong and wrong often, while basking continuously in the glow of wrong gets real old fast. |

I am always somewhat amused when I hear people say they will never watch FOX NEWS, CNN, MSNBC or whatever (and I have many in my family on both sides of that Rubicon). It seems as if they are afraid of ideas.
Apparently critical thinking is not contagious but dogma is highly contagious and infects that part of the brain that controls rational discourse. The first thing I do before I blindly accept any political pronouncements in the media by anyone is to try and determine their historical position on the Nolan Chart. This allows me to assign the proper weight to their opinion based on my own bias and their bias balanced by perspective. Without critical thinking we are all subject to indoctrination by those self proclaimed PHD Experts. en.wikipedia.org |

I have met two Social Justice Warriors that got up into my grill, and both were obnoxious and stupid, and extremely rude, which may be redundant for the obnoxious and stupid descriptors.
I see on e of them from time to time, and I had to the ignorant fool that he had lost his speaking privileges with me, and that is forever until he apologizes for being a complete Dumbass - he use use those exact words. Both ignorant Social Justice Warriors were self-proclaimed "Doctors" (actually PHD's), who have the collegiate jobs of forming young minds. Now, that is messed up. One must have to question: What is the rigor to becoming a PHD these days? From my audience with both of these two fools, I would surmise: Not much! |
