school of hard knocks

Life itself; knowledge (and wisdom) gained by working for it, and not necessarily from a book.
You can learn more common sense from the school of hard knocks, than from most any university.

liberal

1. An individual or group of individuals that embrace all views...unless you disagree with them.

2. Most of the media.

3. One who would rather take away your constitutional right to bear arms, then to take away bin Laden's or Saddam's weapons.
Today's liberals want to make the world a better place...as long as they don't have to make the big sacrifices, and someone else does.

John Kerry

A flip-flopper of the first order. Has consistantly portrayed himself as a war veteran when he wasn't. Has constantly lied about atrocities US troops supposedly commited there in 'Nam that he has never NEVER provided proof for. Has consistantly portrayed himself as a champion of the "little people", when he has no clue as to what that entails. Has consistantly given multiple answers to a singular issue and marks it up to nuance. I guess Kerry is consistant, after all.
How does it feel, John, in this "land of two Americas", that you have to go through ours to get to yours?
