Hacker, SASS #55963 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Just got my June 2012 Cowboy Chronicles. Colonel Dan's column is spot on this month. (please don't interpret that as saying anything about any other month) I too am tired of political posturing by those who have no backbone. There is nothing that should keep the USA from energy independence. America First and always! Colonel Dan for President !!! :FlagAm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Bullweed Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 This is the greatest nation that the world has ever seen, but I believe that only a fool would want to be president in the current protocol and processes of our government. I believe that our Col. Dan is too smart to want this lousy job where sniveling idiots, shysters and ne'er-do-wells try to accomplish their various agendas, fill their own pockets and pretend that we cannot see them. Our government and nation would best be served by a complete change of the guard and a man like the Colonel in the meaningful leadership role. As our timer operators say: 'Cowboy's ready!!!'

Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 It seems only snakes, liars, ne'er-do-wells, rats, crooks, and megalomaniacs want that office. Col. Dan doesn't fit the mold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SADLY, I think you are right. Ignoring age, as a standard test would you let your daughter, niece etc date a man you ran for or became president within the last 100 years?

I believe that you are right on who wants and can actually get the office. Look at ..... No not going there. But there is a possibility of an exception.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 While I concur with Colonel Dan, I understand that the demographics of the United States has changed greatly over the last fifty years or so and the social moral values have also changed. We are not the same country that we were fifty years ago, or even twenty. Politicians have been with us since the first shots at Lexington Green and even before. That never changes. But the mind set of the population is subject to change. If you dispute my words, wait for the elections in November. They will tell the true story.

Colonel Dan, SASS #24025 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Thank you all for the kind words. I never know what awaits me when a post references my column! This was a nice surprise! As for being President, I certainly appreciate the vote of confidence; you do me far more honor than I deserve. Seldom are career soldiers very good at civilian politics. But if you want to know why I couldn't live long in that world, I challenge you to watch just one hour of C-Span. I'm afraid I'd end up doing one of my "distinguished colleagues" bodily harm before my term was over! :-) Soldier on my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the ideas you put forth are right. And sadly the level of integrity observed in the current legislature and executive branch is beneath contempt.

Oklahomabound Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Col. Dan's words had iron in them. ...appreciate an honest straightforward man... ...too bad we don't have any (apparently) men with these traits in office at the national level...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Colonel, I agree with you the majority of the time and if you decide to run I'll support you any way I can. However I think my dad was correct when he said that if any man wanted to be president it should be taken as prima facie evidence that he wasn't suited for the job. Now if you were drafted.......!

Instead we export lead so they can use it to paint toys and send them back to walmart in violation of our lead on toy laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Dan, SASS #24025 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Forty Rod, you have nothing to worry about. You'll not see me running for office. Your dad was right...in fact that's the same view from the Founder's saddle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Man, I have mixed feelings on that. I'd like to see someone like you in the President's chair...but...well, you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I agree with 40( don't keel over, Tom) There's too many career pols out there with some pretty screwy agendas. there have been a lot of Presidents that were military men first, not all did well in politics, but at least they had some backbone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
