Your selfies take on a whole other meaning. |

I have accused Diane of being the Selfie Queen; you are the Selfie King without equivocation.

You are so perceptive B.T.

As someone that has served with a multitude of Liberals over 18 years, liberals use the code word of community to compartmentalize the special interest funding to buy their votes with public funding outlay.

Specifically, the code word "community" announces: 'We'll take care of them now, and then your community later, providing you stay loyal within the fold.

This is not a cynical analogy; this is the way it has worked for nearly 3 decades, which I am well aware of.

Oh, and here is another funny part, the guy that was here was nearly 56 years old; so when my guys came to meet the pseudo Bobby Tony, this guy asked me about you.

When I told him about you, he asked: How old is this guy?

Of course, at the point, the only answer I could give was: You don't want to know.

Thanks Bobby Tony. I reckon I learned something today.

By the way, today, I had a visitor from Tennessee, who we will do some development work for, who has goatee kind of like yours with a similar look to you, and my two employees became very curious.

It was around lunch, and my employees noticed that my visitor had out of state license tags from a Southern state, and curiosity got the better of them, so they both came to my office, and curiously asked if my visitor was The Bobby Tony.

Your are a minor legend. At least at BCN.

Yeah, Diane would probably like Lester.

Hes was nice enough to me that he made an impression, and it might have been 1967, or 1968. I spent Summers in south Georgia from 1959 through 1969. My dad had a couple of tobacco warehouses.

1974 ... now, this is rich. You're making my sides hurt.

Your 1974 could very easily be me in 1979: the hair, the big glasses, the wide tie, I had a neat full beard then, and other than the desk scene, where I had a massive monitor on my desk, we could have been interchangeable.

"You never let a serious crisis go to waste." could be at the core of why this Democrats' president could never be a leader, and is certainly not a patriot.

Hussein is a Sociopath, feining empathy, and, ultimately, earning the disdain of real Americans.

By sheer coincidence, my wife rented "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi" on Saturday night before all of this horror was unveiled by Omar Marteen.

After watching biopic and reliving the treasonous lies of Hussein and Hillary, I became angered as any true patriot would have been over the specious comments that were at the core of the Democrats' vapid president.

Hearing Donal J. Trump call for America's first non patriot president to resign caused this reluctant Trump supporter to not only become increasingly willing to vote for the political neophyte, Trump, but to ask others, maybe, even to beg others to vote for the man.

If you might consider yourself an American patriot, ask yourself this: Can this Republic withstand a second non patriot American president, which Hillary is proved to be, after 8 full years of after the first - Non Patriot Obama?

Think deeply about this if you might remotely love this nation one day.

This is long overdue.

This where overly reactive Liberals begin their stroll down their ever familiar fascist road.

Bush served in the National Guard when the National Guard stayed stateside, not so much now. The National Guard gets plenty of action in the rear guard of the frontline against Radical Islam.

I have mixed feelings about Ali not serving when called to. I had a good draft number(s?) the one year (or was it two years?), I was eligible for conscription, while Vietnam was still a pretty big battleground; so my opinion really does not matter here.

What matters is how the Vietnam War era vets feel on this one. I completely defer to you guys for your opinion because of your patriotic service.

I am surprised that Rep. Jones had to seek legislation to stop this abhorrent behavior.

Regardless of your position on pornography, there is no place on the public payroll, at all levels of government, where the employees are not pushed to perform. This is more a case of terrible management than the evils of pornography, and it is inherently wicked.

My overall solution for the Federal government, and this does not include the military, is to decimate the workforce; in the pure literal sense, you cut the workforce by 10%. After that first slice, you look for additional cuts and get another 10%.

Then you tell the remaining 80% to get to work, and then they will know you mean it.

The way you handled Eddy was perfect: A true honor to a reluctant warrior; a beautifully poignant piece.

It was my privilege to publish the post.

Great analogy combining the purpose of a hallowed day and a timeless Southern story.

The South was far from perfect, but we come from a good people, a grand people.

Tara will also, should always exist.

Great Work Bobby Tony.

Your shared experiences brings it home to those Americans that have never known the Hell of war, and reminds Vietnam War vets that they have one more peer out there that know what only they can know.

Thank-you.

I swear Bobby Tony, your good Christian perspective, coupled with your sense of humor, and your gold plated patriot status is treasure to our readers and America as a whole.

I will do all can to provide you a growing audience.

What a beautiful story.

If you get the do an inspirational post on Ken, I would love to post it, and keep it fresh at times of the year such as this.

Thanks Bobby Tony for continuing TMc's historical discussion about some of the greatest patriots in American history: the Navy Corpsman and the Army Medic.

Their selfless valor is the ultimate expression of living in Christ while serving at war. My heart goes out to Doc TerryM, and others like him, that saw too much, know too much, and, in healing their broken comrades, loved too much.

They are such selfless heroes, and we all owe them our undying gratitude, our continued prayers.
