If the whacko right would quit getting our arse in a sling and costing our children their lives maybe we could shut those leftwing whackos up once and for all. No? :rofl
I guess the 'whacko right' was behind the idea of flying planes into buildings here at home, thereby changing our world perhaps forever......:roll: :lol:
We tried the 'Lib Left's' (a satirical jab in response to your 'whacko right' comment) plan of ignoring the problem in hopes that it would go away (Kobar Towers, USS Cole, 2 African Embassies, and 1 failed attempt aon the World Trade Center)...and it failed MISERABLY. Sitting on your rear while you kiss everyone else's in an attempt to appease them didn't work - it just emboldened them.
It is funny how guys like Kerry, who missed every Defense Intelligence Meeting for a year immediatelyt after 9/11 (though taking the extra paycheck that went along with being a member), seemed to work harder for the VC in Paris than he has back at home for the U.S. for his own country - then or now. Calling our troops terrorists while they fight the commrades of the perpetrators of 9/11 is his way of helping the U.S. ?! Voting FOR the money to buy soldiers proper armor before he voted AGAINST the bill is his way of helping? Maybe he just does his best work for our enemies more than he does for the home team! (And all you Democrats don't get your panties in a wad - that comment was a Kerry-shot, not a Liberal/Democratic party shot!)
Kerry made a whole political career of bashing our troops and on anti-war (U.S.) stances - even admitted it years ago in an interview that his whole anti-war testimony under oath years ago was to launch his career on an anti-war platform - so it is laughable when he stands up today and claims to support our troops.
Murtha is another in the boat. Thanks for serving your country, but when you call our troops in combat 'Nazis', you have just wiped away what you did for your country by attacking it now!
People need to recognize, and IMO do not at times, that the U.S. Military is not the U.S. Goverment and, in fact, is only a pawn/tool of politicians and 'diplomacy'. In Viet Nam, kids were drafted right out of high school and sent to a place where they were fighting for their lives, in the middle of a political nightmare. They didn't start the war, didn't want to be there, and were treated like THEY were the cause of the war once they got back! The protestors should have embraced these guys when they returned home but instead lambasted them instead of the politicians who were REALLY responsible!
Attacking the guys who wear the uniform, calling them Nazis and terrorists for fighting the wars the politicians drag us into, is STUPID and just plain WRONG!
Don't support the decision, the politics, or the politicians that got us into the wars, but don't attack the soldiers! We don't make the wars...we just have to fight them.
Maybe if we established a new law that any politician who gets us into a war has to take a military position and actually have to serve/fight for a year, I would be willing to bet the number of military altercations we find ourselves in would actually go down.
