I have no idea of what you "didn't have the right to choose" means.

Just because you were "forced" to pay into SSI doesn't mean you have to accept it later in life. If you really believe in those conservative principles of yours then you'll refuse to accept Social Security and Medicare or you're a hypocrite.

I am the first to admit that successful drivers just aren't like "normal" people.

Define what a successful driver is and what "normal" people are. I have a feeling these are ambiguous terms because there are no standards to compare them to.

In the late 70s, the AF said a successful career was for an officer to make Colonel (O-6) and an enlisted person to make Chief Master Sergeant (E-9). A couple of years later, AF leaders realized they made a mistake in saying this because it meant only 1-2% of the entire force could have a successful career. They then changed a successful career to mean whatever the individual believed it to be which enable everyone to make their own determination. Applying this to your career field, a successful driver is what ever the driver wants it to be.

A successful driver is one who is angry because they can only work 70 hours in 8 days. A person who can stay away from home for weeks at a time. A person who can sleep in less than stellar conditions of cold and heat. A person who doesn't need or want a "bossman" looking over their shoulders. It takes a different type of mentality to not only do this job but, to enjoy doing it.

Yes, Glenn, we worry about who will take care of you when you are sick...or old...or needy.....It's a moral obligation we extend to all of our fellow humans. You're welcome.

It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped. Hubert H. Humphrey

I will thank you to keep any reference to my wife out of your mouth. Unless you are replying to a comment I made about her.

You can thank me all you like. What's in my mouth is mine. And what's in my mouth right now is that you're a remarkably ignorant ideologue...who's being butt fucked multiple times daily by those he idolizes, and somehow fails to either realize it or more likely, who realizes it but ignores it for some reason. Want to share?

Glen has already seen this, and made at least one post since yours. And he's hiding in the fucking weeds.

Glen only started this thread to deflect from the latest racist statements out of donald trump....and the conservative white agreement and capitulation to them.

Well said. Glen has already seen this, and made at least one post since yours. And he's hiding in the fucking weeds.[/quote




My reply was that unlike liberals I choose not to live my life worrying about becoming disabled. Which of course he took and switched gears to painting the left as some sort of great humanitarians. As if he was asking the question about society in general instead of me in particular.

The number one fact being if we had $9 a gallon gas in the USA it would destroy our economy. If our economy were destroyed then the worlds economy would also be destroyed.

One more thought. So often we hear from the left "why do people vote against their own best interests." When in fact they are voting against what the left believes is in their best interests.

Today here and more so on facebook I read post after post about how rotten the USA is when compared to Norway. That along with the usual LW memes about how the population of Norway is the happiest in the world. Of course none of those memes mentioned the 50+% effective tax rate of Norway nor did they mention that in Norway a gallon of gas is around $9.

But, they did get me to thinking about how those memes show the difference between the mindset of a Liberal and the mindset of a moderate or that of a conservative.

I started driving truck in 1991, anytime after 1993 I could have went to work for any company in the USA both Union or non-Union. Had I had the mindset of a Progressive [ like most here] I would have jumped at a chance to drive for a Union Carrier. The pay would have been higher when compared to driving for a non-union company. The benefits would have been off the chain and of course today I would be looking down the barrel of a large pension just around the corner.

I chose a different path. Most of my carrier I owned my own equipment, which made my pay equal to that of Union drivers, although I do have to work longer hours a quite a bit harder for that pay and have next to no benefits. On paper it makes way more sense to have the Progressive Mindset and work at the Union outfit.

But, then there is the non-liberal mindset. Those of us who are fortunate enough to have decent health [ which is most of us] are going to get about 50 years of freedom. Prior to age 21 we are under the control of our parents, after 71 we are coming to the end of the journey.

I cannot understand what we use to call in the car business the "lunch box" mentality. One where you work for the man all week, doing what you are told to do when you are told to do it. One where you get two days a week and 2 to 4 [ maybe 5] weeks a year to enjoy freedom.

I know people I went to school with who still live in NE Ohio who for the last 35 to 40 years spend 2 weeks a year in Myrtle Beach. The other 50 weeks a year they talk about either the last two weeks they spent at the beach or the next two weeks they are going to spend at the beech.

What a wasted life, yet that is the life the mentality of the American Liberal seems to crave. One where we work 46 to 50 weeks a year for close to all of our 50 years of freedom. Pay crazy high taxes but, like the animal in the zoo have all of our needs along with some of our wants provided for us by some Gov't agency somewhere.

As opposed to embracing the freedoms we have here in the USA [aka the greatest country in the history of man] and finding our own way in life. Not having to kowtow to some employer somewhere. Not selling the only 50 free years we are going to get in this world, for what we perceive as security. Never having any adventures or misadventures. Just hitting an employable age, finding a trade then selling 50 years of your life for nothing.

and that {IMO} is the difference in the mindset of your progressive and your non-progressive. Not being afraid to set out on your own and fail.

Sidebar: my "golden years" are not going to be all that by comparison. But, fishing is still free and I'll take the trade I made years ago anytime. 10 years at the end of life of having to make due to get by for 50 prime years of freedom.

Which is another example of why non-liberals would be miserable living under the what they have in places like Norway.

I remember having a long argument back on the RRMB over American Exceptionalism.

I really think this is one of these things that truly divide conservatives and liberals.

I mean, tell some conservatives this is a country like any other, and nothing really "exceptional" or unique in the world, and they fume. I mean, let's face it, a certain Chump noticed some people just need to hear someone tell them their country is the greatest in the world, and they don't care if after that he's busy picking their pocket. They've already been buttered.

Look, we are in an unexceptional spiral arm of a galaxy and our planet is not in an exceptionally central position in our solar system. We are not in the center of our universe. People have had problems with that idea.

I guess now, that there's nothing exceptional about the spot on the planet they occupy. They have a tough time with that, too. (To be fair, Americans were not the first to think this way.)

The greatest country in the history of man? Maybe European man, and they practically annihilated native tribes to get even that. Oh, and of course, half of it seemed to have no problem with one race enslaving another.

It might have looked great briefly after winning WWII, but that was then and this is now. We don't even have a health system. We're the last place in the world measuring in feet and inches. Our bridges collapse, and the rich plunder the commonweal. Get real.

How would you measure greatness anyway? GDP? Military strength? The "century of the common man," when and if there ever was such a thing? The "land of opportunity," which did exist once but now doesn't unless you go to Harvard?

Perhaps the problem lies in the idea that one country can be somehow ranked as greater than others. Nothing wrong with patriotism until it degrades the rest of the world.

Not at all and as usual your hatred of whites has made you wrong once again.

I made because of all the posts mostly on FB made by lefties claiming how much better off we would be if only we were like Norway. In usual liberal fashion they ignore the facts. Or knowing how Progressives tend to be uninformed it could be once again they just look at an issue without investigating the facts.

The number one fact being if we had $9 a gallon gas in the USA it would destroy our economy. If our economy were destroyed then the worlds economy would also be destroyed.

This is a load of the familiar brown article.

I don't know any "liberals" who want $9 a gallon fuel here, and you don't either. The distances here are greater than Europe, and long-haul trucking is more important. (Yes I know trucks use diesel. But that stuff costs money too.)

I know a lot of people who would like us to use less fuel. That's different.

I'm sick of "the left." I'm not convinced that you can tell a real left from Spy vs. Spy. You get your idea of a left from radio talk show hosts. It's all propaganda and images from long gone history.

The campaign, centered in the Bay Area, could happen within weeks, and is expected to become the biggest enforcement action of its kind under President Trump, said the source, who requested anonymity because the plans have not been made public.
