Bloviating Zeppelin

(in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Ranando said...: Fine photos.

You will miss him more and more as time goes by, what happens is the saddness turns to smiles as the years go by.

When us kids now speak of my father the tears are gone and the laughter seems to go on forever.

It's a great feeling just thinking of my dad.

Nice tribute, may he rest in peace.; Sun Mar 01, 11:25:00 AM PST

A former Democrat in my tender and ignorant youth, I am now a Conservative first and, these days, quite a distant Republican with a dash of Libertarian mixed in for good measure. I believe in God, the strength of America, the brilliance of our Founding Fathers, the valor of our military, and the need for Leadership in all forms and on every level. I am not an advocate of censorship as I believe everyone on the Far Left has a God-given right to be painfully stupid -- as I have a right to expose said stupidity.
