A Man is not a Man, just because he has a big truck---It is whether or not he has an Ole Lady to wash and wax it for Him, that is the gauge. We all know this, but keep it quiet.

There use to be a time where Americans valued men who never got their hands dirty(pretty much every President before 1910) but were intellectuals. Then they valued men who had both gotten their hands dirty but were of above average intelligence(Pretty much everyone between 1910 and 1970). Then Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan showed up and it all went to ****. Now we value stupidity and illiteracy. We ignore the works of Marx and Keynes, Shakespeare and Steinbeck because we'd rather have a guy with a subscription to Maxim. "Men of the people" is the reason this country has gone to ****.

Thank god for that!
 
They just took away my chevy v8 pickup truck with a cracked block. It is on it's way to have it's organs harvested. RIP.:(:(:(

I will miss it [weeping]. Good bye old friend. I'll miss you. I'll be joing you soon.:(

I avenge people who abuse liberals. The tyrants of history have always killed off liberals when they seized power.

Limbaugh abuses liberals for every day of the week for three hours every day ti's liberal this and liberal that and blames every thing that worong with everything on liberals. The same as all the right wing talk show hosts. Liberal this, liberal that. I have gotten sick of it, so I avenge for them.

Liberals are mostly intelligent intellectuals who are way too nice to fight back so I do it for them because I am a redneck and I can be as mean spirited as the far right conservatives who pick on them all the time.

I am not saying all conservatives but just the mean ones who rely on ad hominem attacks. They have turned the word liberal into an epithet.

I have always been for the downtrodden and abused, therefore I avenge them cause I am mean as hell when I want to be, however, I try to be respectful unless a liberal is attacked and then I go into attack mode.

I am a centrist, actually. But lately I have been morphing into a constitutional anarchist. I hate all incumbents. I would like to see them all voted out. I respect the rule of law.

I hate the new world order. Sometimes I get so mad I use the H word.

I don't know. But mocking a guy because he drives a truck, as Obama did to Brown, is certainly not a sign of being a man of the people.

EXACTLY.

BTW, some of Scott Brown's neighbor's were interviewed and they said that, yes that is really his truck, he's been driving it for years.

The true liberals died decades ago, we now have socialist just look at what they represent and then look up a meaning of socialist, of course I presume you already know the meaning. Our founding fathers where liberal perhaps not in their own lifestyle but, they supported freedom for all.

Yeah, I really hate violence. It's messy and it hurts my conscience. It's bad for property values. I would rather talk my enemies into sucicide.:)

Yeah, it is the reason why you didn't even know what socialism meant until it was pointed out to you.

Considering the majority of the people in this country live in coastal cities and use public transportation I do not see how owning a truck makes you a "a man of the people". Probably owning a RAV4 or a Honda Civic makes you a man of the people. A pick up? Not so much.

U.S. of A? Which part are you confused about? The majority of people in the U.S. living on the coasts? Or that majority using public transport? Because public transport means : buses, taxis, trains etc. And yes. The majority of this country uses it in some way.

I don't even know what that means but I'll be sure to find somebody with a few concussions to translate it for the general public.

Would you like me to introduce you to wireless internet & iPhones now? Or later? Because it is a fun new invention where you don't even have to be in a house to see the interwebz. Here, I'll give you a clue on how it works. Through "God" magic you can connect to the Al Gore invention with a few taps on your phone and laptop from pretty much anywhere in the world. For example, I could be in Switzerland right now on a phone and still see this page. Isn't it fun to deal with technology instead of fixing trucks for a living?
