Straight Board: What's A "RINO" You Ask?

What's A "RINO" You Ask?

ri·no /'rahy no/ – noun.
plural -nos, (especially collectively) - an acronym standing for 'Republican In Name Only.' Frequently found posturing as spokesmen/women for the entire Republican party - strongly encouraged to do so by the mainstream media. Frequently indistinguishable in policy from DNP politicians.

Excellent post on this RINO by Phil Harris at TownHall.com (and where the photo came from).

Before you get your PC panties in a knot:

I spent 21 years in the US Navy driving submarines, hence my chosen nickname. "Straight Board" is the last standard report given by a Chief of the Watch before the order is given to submerge the submarine. It is shorthand terminology that informs the Officer of the Deck that all hull openings are shut so he can have a high degree of confidence that once under water, he won't have the sea entering his "people tank" uninvited. We'll see where this blog goes together, but for now; "Straight Board - DIVE, DIVE"

Furthermore, the views expressed by original posts belong solely to the original poster and not the owner of this blog (unless I'm the one who posted it). Any opinion that doesn't agree with mine is probably wrong, but you're welcome to have it.

Unlike the standard self-proclaimed "progressives," ol' Subby actually believes in the Contitution and its 1st Ammendment AS WRITTEN and RATIFIED (as opposed to the current twisting of the ACLU, 9th District Court, etc...) and will therefore NOT strike a reader's comment unless it violates the law. Even then, it may be visible for a while until I check the site, make a determination, and edit or fully remove it.

Liberal panty-waddists should take NOTE:
Almost ALL humor is only funny at someone else's expense. If you are offended by what I or my reader's post, go somewhere else to practice your brand of censorship in the name of free speech.

Liberal panty-waddists should also heed this WARNING:
I do not particularly care that your sensitive feelings get hurt, and will probably make fun of you for weeks if you decide to tell me via a comment.
