Retired USAF veteran, life long independent conservative. Glad to be here and consider all sides and express my point or counterpoint. Since this is my first post I'm hoping to be welcomed and not thrashed for a differing opinion.
ketchup: I'm glad to have you on this board and welcome! Thank you for your service to this country and for helping safeguard our liberties which allow a site like this to exist. The hardcore partisans usually let you get in three or four posts before the trashing. No, just kidding. We have a lot of dedicated moderators who's main concern is to ensure there is a free flow of ideas without insults or flaming. Furthermore, keep in mind that if everyone agreed with you, there would be no real point in expressing your views and in that, you can respect the opposition. Post lots of times and I will see you on the forums.
