glduck Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 biden looks just like the clown from 'it', sans make-up. that's horrifying. i'd participate in this good ol' fashion pic throwdown but for the life of me i just can't think of a relevant conservative to parody. so i'll just remind you that this was your best answer to unseating obama: look inward, conservatives. clean your own house, then worry about what the other side is doing.

All Hail Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I really thought this thread was going to be about Jalapeño and Davis. I was half right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Hail Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Wow, seriously when you have nothing to add, by the way that is most of the time, be quiet and retreat to the cheap seats on Strawberry Hill. At least Jalapeno can take a joke. My seats at Memorial are pretty damn awesome by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Hail Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Oh wow! And by next year you will be in the stadium. I had now idea they had a memorial to Tedford. You're trying to hard and nobody is laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Hail Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Is that really a good thing this year? (j/k) Valid question. We shall see but probably not. At least Dykes will be in shouting distance.

The guy is clearly doing his job if the Anti-Obama Network's resorting to "improper salute" criticism. At least they're taking a break from Benghazi.

KUGRDON Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 No president did until Reagan did it on a whim. Wrong again Bonzo. He thought about it and conferred with the military about it before returning salutes: About the tradition, Ronald Reagan said, "I never ceased to enjoy reviewing our men and women in uniform and hope I started a new tradition for presidents. As Commander In Chief, I discovered it was customary for our uniformed men and women to salute whenever they saw me. When I'd walk down the steps of a helicopter, for example, there was always a Marine waiting there to salute me." "I was told presidents weren't supposed to return salutes, so I didn't, but this made me feel a little uncomfortable. Normally, a person offering a salute waits until it is returned, then brings down his hand. Sometimes, I realized, the soldier, sailor, Marine, or airman giving me a salute wasn't sure when he was supposed to lower his hand. Initially, I nodded and smiled and said hello and thought maybe that would bring down the hand, but usually it didn't. Finally, one night when Nancy and I were attending a concert at the Marine Corps Headquarters, I told the Commandant of Marines, "I know it's customary for the President to receive these salutes, but I was once an officer and realize that you're not supposed to salute when you're in civilian clothes. I think there ought to be a regulation that the president could return a salute inasmuch as he is commander in chief and civilian clothes are his uniform." "Well, if you did return a salute," the general said, "I don't think anyone would say anything to you about it." "The next time I got a salute, I saluted back. A big grin came over the Marine's face and down came his hand. From then on, I always returned salutes. When George Bush followed me into the White House, I encouraged him to keep up the tradition."- See more at: http://www.texasgopvote.com/military-salute/it-proper-president-render-military-hand-salute-002816#sthash.735JuVhh.dpuf --------------------- Presidents have long been saluted, but they began returning salutes relatively recently. Ronald Reagan was thought to be the first, in 1981. He had sought advice on the matter from Gen. Robert Barrow, commandant of the Marine Corps. According to John Kline, then Mr. Reagan’s military aide and today a member of Congress from Minnesota, General Barrow told the president that as commander in chief he could salute anybody he wished. And so it began. Mr. Reagan’s successors continued the practice, and I continued to be conflicted — believing that when it comes to salutes (and one or two other matters), presidents deserved to be cut some slack, but also feeling a little uneasy about the whole thing. My ambivalence came to an end last week, when I saw a videotape of the president’s midnight trip to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, where he had participated, very early that morning, in the “dignified transfer†of 15 Army soldiers and three Drug Enforcement Administration agents killed that week in Afghanistan. Mr. Obama stood ramrod straight and saluted as six soldiers carried the coffin bearing the body of Sgt. Dale Griffin of Indiana off a C-17 transport aircraft and into a waiting van. His salute, it struck me, was impeccable in every way. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/01/opinion/01winfrey.html It seems that criticizing a President, even President Obama, for his salute is a cheap shot, and a well-meaning President who hasn't served in the military should be given a bit of a break on form. Moreover, it is extremely bad form for one who has not served to criticize a salute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
