We had better be concerned about North Korea. Any country that defies previously agreed to treaties, and builds nuclear weapons - is a country not to ignore, period. As for our country's "Cowboy image", as Snapple put it; well, it surely seems that other countries are paying attention to us now. Look at Libya. Quite a turnaround, if you ask me. NC

I agree Seawolf. Any problems with our economy will pale in comparison to what will happen to us if our country's security is compromised. Don't you agree? Navy Chief

Well, Senator Kerry now has some support that he probably wishes he didn't. North Korea's leader, Pyongyang, is hopeful that Senator Kerry will become our next President. See the article at: http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/new...0403050011.html Apparently, the North Koreans hope that Kerry will win; thinking that with Kerry in office, there would be a softening of US policies concerning North Korea's nuclear program. If Kerry would become our President, I am sure that is exactly what would take place, and another reason why NOT to vote for him. Think about it. Oh yeah, one last thing. Has anyone noticed a resemblance between "Lurch" from the Addams Family, and Senator Kerry? Kinda scary! Heh, heh...... Navy Chief

Not a good sign, I would say. One has to figure he might do something similar with the US economy. Or worse. NC

Me too, Firehawkordy. I read that Kerry's campaign raked in a bundle of money from Internet donations. That, of course, prompted me to donate to Bush's campaign - immediately. NC

At age 50, I have decided that I am not going to go through another move. I agree with you about all the hassles that are involved with moving. No more. Not for me. My wife and I plan to improve what we have and stay put. Georgia isn't exactly my favorite place to live, but I been in worse locations. Navy Chief

Thanks Jinks, I'll check it out!! Navy Chief

Hey Seawolf Yep, I am concerned about 2008 too. My wife and I have been looking at other places to live, should the "unthinkable" actually happen. I have a feeling that a lot of folks will consider moving from the US if Hillary is (God forbid) elected as President. This country would be ruined. Navy Chief

Hey Seawolf I watch The Factor too. Great program, and I find Bill O'reilly's analysis refreshing after years and years of Liberal news reporting. NC

Hey FooFighter If my Social Security "investment" is taken away from me, I would not be surprised. After all, the government steals over a third of my income in taxes every year. It's interesting how much we are conditioned to believe that the money the government steals is not ours. One looks at a paycheck, and simply accepts the meager amount we are "allowed" to keep for ourselves. Taxes = Legalized Theft Navy Chief

Have had those days myself, Snapple. Plenty of them. By the way, are you still planning on going for a commission in the Navy? NC

Hey Snapple Goodness, Snapple! Such anger! "now shut your pie hole and go vote if you've got something to say." I didn't realize I was causing such an uproar, that I am not able to voice an opinion here in the Pub? Say what you will. Kerry's voting record does not speak well of him when it comes to our defense. As far as taxes are concerned, I am tired of being admonished for wanting to keep as much of what I earned for my own welfare. The government did not earn it. I did. Taxes? I agree with the necessity of taxation, but NOT for creating programs which do nothing but provide handouts. In other words, a redistribution of wealth from those who earned it to those who want a free ride. No, I don't believe that all taxes should be abolished. But wouldn't most people agree that the tax percentage is WAY too high? There is so much wasteful government spending by BOTH parties. NC

Foofighter If Kerry, or any other Democrat for that matter, is elected, he will repeal Bush's tax cuts, and then raise taxes. It is a given. I rebel at the thought of the US Govt. taking more of my income. They already take WAY too much, PERIOD. As far as Social Security is concerned, I am not even counting on receiving any when I am of age to do so. I have made provisions of my own, so I am taking care of myself. I am NOT counting on the govt. to take care of me. As for my voting for Bush? Yes, I will do just that, and proudly. Kerry will reduce our military's strength even more than it already is. Isn't the security of this country important to you? Social Security, and other govt. programs will not seem so important if the terrorists are allowed to penetrate this country and attack us. Such attacks can happen, no matter who the president is; but I feel a lot more secure with Bush in charge. Navy Chief.

Hey Beer! I was just wondering how your next music video is progressing? Your first one was great, and I am looking forward to the second one! Hope all is well with you, shipmate. Navy Chief

A BIG ROGER on that one, Seawolf. Bush will get my vote, definitely. Navy Chief

No matter how one tries to justify Kerry becoming President, if he gets into the White House we can expect three things for certain: 1) Our military will be reduced in strength even more that it presently is. 2) Our country's defense will be in jeapordy. And lastly, 3) Our taxes will get raised AGAIN to fund more social programs (also known as handouts) to redistribute wealth in this country. NC

Great patch, Fates. Jane is lucky Vietnam was never declared an actual war, or she would have been tried for treason. Jane, call home: 1-800-HANOI NC

I like it! Good one, shipmate. NC

One thing you all need to consider, is Kerry's idea of turning the control of our military over to the UN when it comes to overseas protection. Big mistake. Fatal mistake, in my opinion. Add to that the fact that he voted against every weapons program since he has been in office, and one has to wonder how safe our country might be if he became president. Doesn't give me a sense of being protected. Does it you? The man is a phony. Navy Chief

Gramp's site has exceeded bandwidth. Download not available. Is the F-15 available anywhere else? I have not been all that active for a few weeks on this site, but have I missed some posts about this addon aircraft?? Navy Chief

Gelukkige Verjaardag, Dutchy! Navy Chief

Ghost Dog, I am inclined to agree with you. It is almost a sure thing that tempers would flare. I am the one who started this thread, and have posted many others like it in the past. In 1992, when "Comrade Clinton" was elected to office, I became much more aware of my conservative beliefs, and must say that the following eight years of Clinton's "reign" was difficult to go through. His administration reduced our military strength to a new low. Perhaps it is because I was career military that makes me so passionate against liberals. Or maybe it is because that I rebel at the liberal's idea of income redistribution. Politics are such a hot issue in this country. Perhaps it would be best if such discussions would be posted on sites created for that purpose. Navy Chief

Well, this forum, as defined, should suffice for political dialogue. It is for all off-topic discussions. No matter to me. Navy Chief

Kerry has stated that he wants the UN to approve the US deployment of forces overseas. The UN has proven itself a non-entity. It is also corrupt. And we should turn over such decisions to them? And Kerry's position on taxes? Well, like a true liberal, he would repeal Bush's tax cuts, and raise taxes to fund social programs that NEVER work. I bristle at the thought of giving one more penny to the IRS. The IRS is proof that Communism is alive and well in the US. Taxes......another way of saying "Legalized Theft". Navy Chief

Hey Firehawk. Go to: http://www.simviation.com/fs_compatibility.htm It is a list of what is compatible. Hope that answers your question, shipmate. Navychief
