i don't want to hear any more crap
from repugs about how they 'support our troops'. If they'll vote for a wing-nut versus a veteran, they have no right to say they 'support the troops'. Along with denying Major Hackett the victor he deserved, they've cut benefits over & over.

I am fucking sick of repugs & their 'we support the troops, Democrats don't' bullshit.

also, best to Major Hackett & his family. He fought a hell of a good fight which took an enormous amount of guts. I hope I hear more from him.

1. Apparently, service to your country is just "Resume Padding"
Another reason recruiting is in the toilet.

7. Cons call military service "resume padding", eh?
What a convenient way for justifying not enlisting themselves: "We don't want to insult the troops with our resume padding. Therefore, it's more ethical and patriotic that we simply don't join up."

2. I don't know where to start about Cinci...
whether it be the racism, 'DAS police/brownshirts' who 'patrol' the city, the Christo/Facsists who run everything, or what else. I really hate the 'red' parts of the country. God Bless the blue areas! :kick:

6. Care to rephrase?
That's a real insult to some very good witches I know.

4. it boils down to

Supporting your ideologue. I like "Liberal" troops and want them to win election... I don't like "Conservative" troops and don't want them to win elections. Not biggie.

The problem is the Republicans have co-opted the flag, God, and military service as their own when so many of them dodged wars, evaded drafts and used crooked connections to stay home and safe while other "less fortunate" sons went off to take their place in war (or on a memorial wall).

The Republicans don't give a shit about the troops. the troops are simply an apparatus to hang fascist policy around so the sheeple will slumber into the voting booth and vote for the "right" guy.

5. Republicans love our troops so long as they keep their mouths shut
and clap when someone from the White House staff starts clapping.

10. braahaahaahaa!
Aint it the truth. dumbya just loves the troops when he can use them as a backdrop. But he sure the hell doesn't love 'em enough to pay their benefits.

9. What they really support is war...
and the big defense contracts that come with it.
