Now we need to get rid of Elizabeth warren.........shooting her mouth off today. Not much different from the not my President group. Embarrassed to have her representing the state I live in.

That was a bitter, spiteful little rant she went on today. How about we give the guy a chance before the race baiters come out in full force. |

Well, I have lost 1/2 dozen friends and relatives over my posting about the Clinton supporters crying. I have been unfriended on FB, removed from LinkedIn networks and vilified by people I thought were friends.
Social media is a very powerful tool and, unknowingly, I must have really violated a lot of peoples' sensibilities.
On one hand, I feel badly that offended people. On the other hand, it is my right as an American to voice my opinion.
I believe it was Voltaire who said " I may disagree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it"

That's crazy Paul! At some point, people need to leave politics aside and maintain family and friendships. Such is the case here, I would never really dislike someone because of their political views. Not even Spence (I'm joking  political views aside, I'm sure he's a great person). I would still consider pretty much everyone a friend regardless of their views. It would take more than that for me to cut off friendships and ties with family. And being a vet, your quote in the last line has significant importance to me. |

Bo, one Vet to another. Thanks for your support and service. We probably served around the same time. |
