Kelly Smith Weblog Aficionado: Just a guy vs. Life

Gee thanks, Pal.....

I responded to a web log post from Grouchy Old Cripple In Atlanta in which he lampooned the urge to be so politically correct about saying, Happy Holidays vs. Merry Christmas. I thought it was pretty funny myself, and I think all of the flap about what is "proper" to say is much ado about nothing. However, someone left this message in response to his post.

Hey Democrats, have a shitty Christmas...oops X-Mas...and a horrid 2006. You're
all a bunch of traitors.Posted by Paul at December 22, 2005 03:58 PM

I responded with this post:

Paul,
In response to:

Hey Democrats, have a shitty Christmas...oops
X-Mas...and a horrid 2006. You're all a bunch of traitors.

Merry Christmas to you, too. And thanks for not making sweeping generalizations about Democrats. Just a question, were those Service Members that died in Iraq or Afghanistan since 2001 who were registered Democrats traitors also?

To everybody, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope that 2006 is a better year for everyone.Posted by Dkelsmith at December 24, 2005 09:47 AM

Which in turn he responded with:

Dkelsmith, I don't think there are any registered Democrats in our military,
and if there are any, they've since voted Republican or are plotting to commit
treason. Your Party is filth, and I'll debate you on any topic any day, pal.
Have a shitty Christmas, and I look forward to watching your Party melt down as
we approach elections in 2006. Your Party's stance on our war in Iraq and the
Democrats have spun the wiretapping leak has infuriated millions of Americans,
including me, and we're taking you mother fuckers out.Posted by Paul at December 25,

I tried to call Paul to talk to him personally, but he was already on his way down the mountain into "Whoville".

Being an Officer...a Black one.....is sometimes hard. [Howard Rollins from "A Soldier's Story"] Sometimes being an Officer is difficult....not because of hard tasks, short timelines, or all of the worries involved in the care of your Soldier's, but the aura of professionalism and objectivity that you must display at all times. There have been many times that I have wanted to make a comment, yell, cuss at someone, or otherwise let my personal feelings be known about a subject, but unfortunately I could not because of my position. Let me tell you about two incidents that bothered me in particular. I was in Dallas Ft. Worth airport waiting to catch a flight on the last leg of my TDY trip to help a returning unit at Ft. Sill. As I went to my gate, I saw 4 Sailors in their black uniforms gathered at the gate...one was large and white, the other three were black. There was very little room, and many of them were standing intermingled with civilian airline passengers...

Strom Thurmond is dead... Many people are observing the passing of Strom Thurmond with mixed feelings. A lot of my friends seem to be rejoicing as if an evil dictator has been deposed. If we look at his past words and actions, it is easy to see why some blacks may not think too fondly of Strom Thurmond. I am not sure what to think, actually. As a Christian, I know it is not good to harbor hate for anyone, no matter how reprehensible their behavior has been in the past. I was reading a Slate article about him, and they spoke about how no official apology for his past behavior was ever rendered. However, there seemed to be an "unspoken" apology that his fellow conservatives voiced for him over and over. What was once an unspoken rumor of his biracial daughter has come to light in news services as well. It would seem that his past disdain, or need for seperation from the black race was not quite so urgent at one point in time. He fathered a child with a black ho...

Happy 231st Birthday to the U.S. Army! Happy Birthday to the greatest military fighting force that the world has ever known. I will be toasting tonight with dinner! I'll post a picture, it is a nice evening so I may have to eat on the deck tonight. Hooah! I am enjoying myself from now until the 27th. I am on Leave! Of course my decadence will be interrupted by having all four of my wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow. So, I may need to toast three or four times tonight. Hooah!
