Well, if you pass as a moderate, today's Liberal must be more of a fascist than even I could ever fathom.

No wonder we have an idiot for a president, and doughty pumpkin head in the bullpen.

I'm going back to bed, but when I wake up, my head will be as clear as it is right now.

In that same vein, Hillary surrendered Benghazi and then blamed it on a 'despicable video'.

So much for the pumpkin-headed grandmother, who does not understand the internet.

Ms. Benghazi is very popular with Liberals too.

Okay ... (not that there is anything wrong with that).

The plane is virtually a Spad. Are we moving forwards or backwards in weaponry.

For my Christian beliefs, there are no politics in Heaven, only in Hell.

Politics is of man's construct, principles are of God's. I suggest that principles should reign in this World, as I pray they will govern the great beyond.

The writer is liable to speak the truth as he knows it.

As publisher of this new concept of exchange, I allow everything reasonably well presented but not without challenges, and I allow all challenges from all individuals.

In that the truth may be better sorted.

I don't mean to be acerbic, but the truth is very important to me.

I know well 'elusive'.

I thought we were talking about snake handlers.

I think it will take at least three paragraphs.

Damn ... that's a first.

You guys crack me up. And I need that from time to time. Hell, I need it a lot.

Ted has a good point on Religious Moderate conundrum. Would that not be an oxymoron? Now if Ted can just capture it all in three very short paragraphs ...

Now that would be artful.

Snake handlers: What a commitment?

Tailback (remember those) on offense; Middle Linebacker in a 4 - 4 (2 Middle backers - 2 corners) - 3 (safeties); deep to receive on kickoffs. For some reason, I stayed on the field except when we punted or we kicked off.

I made the varsity as a sophomore, and played quite a bit, so much, much was expected of me my Junior year. Plus by my junior year, I was 6 feet tall, weighed 190 lbs. with a 32 inch gut and ran a hair under a 4.6 40 (in pads).

Needless to say dreams of playing in Kenan Stadium danced in my head. Tore an ACL and cartilage, and still played until I could no longer walk. And it was over - the dreams, all that work to get to that point - and its over.

So I became a stupid Hippie until just before my 20th birthday, and then I began straightening out, seeing more clearly. mad it to the ranks of conservative thought by my young 30's (Churchill was right).

Genetically, my knees are predisposed to such. But those were also the days of the crack-back-block.

If I were to play in these times, I would lift weights with my legs mostly - especially around the knees, work on the speed, and I would play wide receiver, strong safety.

I was really good at catching a football.

On another note: the first game I ever played in - sophomore - as the linebacker, I hit a wide receiver, coming over the middle, so hard, I knocked him out of the game, actually they loaded him up in an ambulance and hauled him off to where ever they haul them to. Needless to say, he did not make the catch. It was like my third tackle.

Too much information hear, huh?

Bobby, if you had been on my team, I would have probably retreated to the bench to talk to you about our later plans after the game. It would probably have included beer. I would buy the beer for me and my friends, I had no fake ID, and yet I bought the beer - never carded.

Football stories, huh. I'd have a near lifetime of these stories if my knees had not played out by the time I turned 16 years young.

Oh well, when one door is closed, you move on or you 'jimmy the door'.
