Not So Young But Angry Conservatives Unite

Getting sick of the progressively worse slant and obvious bias of the media? Got booted out of other sites for offending too many liberals? Make this your home. If you SPAM here, you're gone. Trolling? Gone. Insult other posters I agree with. Gone. Get the pic. Private sanctum, private rules. No Fairness Doctrine and PC wussiness tolerated here..... ECCLESIASTES 10:2- The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of a fool to the left.

GREAT POEM....

Hat Tip to Gold Dragon at http://www.famousidiot.com/

The Final Inspection

The soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, you soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"

The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.

But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.

"Step forward now, you soldier,
You've borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

And the ACLU would probably hate this one also......

    Ranando, what is that I smell? Oh, it's the steaming pile of horseshit, you are tossing out as a post. STFU you twit! Current Democrats won't serve, they're chicken just like you. I'd serve were it not for a shot knee and being a tad old.....

    What site did you cut and paste that off of? MoveOn? Daily Kos? Come on, impress me.

    and don't ruin this topic! It's a poem for Chrissakes! Most soldiers didn't care about politics, just killin the enemy so the enemy didn't kill them or their loved ones.

    Bet you'd make a great commissar, frickin Socialist.

    Hey Nick,

    This is fact, check it out on your own.

    Just telling the truth.

    Also, in your title you write,"A wise man's heart leads him to do right, and a fool heart leads him to do left" ECCLESIATES 10:2.

    As you know that is incorrect, you might want to read this.

    "And I solemly declare to everyone who reads this book: If anyone adds anything to what is written here, God shall add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone subtracts any part of these prophecies, God shall take away his share in the tree of life, and the Holy City just described". REVELATION 22: 18, 19

    I can't wait to see what your come back is to this.

    Oh Bible Lectures from those who side with God's enemies. That's rich. Mr. Bible Quotes thinks he knows more than anyone else. Too bad you never took it to heart.

    Add and take away? Not me, it's called DIFFERENT TRANSLATIONS! And since you're sure yours is the only right one, you're an arrogant SOB.

    You never posted a site link. Just like I figured.

     
  • At 11:26 AM, Blogger Ranando said…

    Site Link?

    It's called the Bible, read it you might learn something.

    Don't tell me your just another Right-Wing Born-Again Fanatic Hypocrite.

    Not the Bible, you dweeb, the service records. Oh and you're such a Christian......

    Kevin, thank you for taking sides of the leftists. Middle of the Road, my Ascot.

    I said SHOT KNEE. Shot as in knee aches. Ludlow, you really are a peace of work. WTF do you think you're doing? Thanks for the backstabbing. Apparently politics matters more than anything, huh? Nope, strike that. Being right. That's more important than anything isn't it?

    Ranando, STFU you fake. You're no Christian. You side with a party that mocks God, mocks his people, and is curbing any religious freedom. That's called a traitor, and you are one......

    Kevin, I never claimed to have served. I have a shitty knee, OK? There, happy? It hurts, if it makes you feel any better.....

     
  • At 5:17 AM, Blogger Ranando said…

    Sounds like Nick needs a little Operation Yellow Elephant.
