Hypocrisy at its most subtle. Insidious, as it does undermine troop morale. I always liken it to saying that you are a Saint Louis Cardinals fan (for example), but hope they don‘t win any games - and don‘t even particularly care for the game of baseball itself.
Now, we have such leftist luminaries as John Kerry who says you must be a moron if they send you to Iraq - he said something along the lines of if you don‘t stay in school and become educated (indoctrinated - but that‘s another topic for another time), you‘ll be sent to Iraq. I must be OK, as I‘ve only been to Afghanistan at this point. In fact, at the time of the remark ("joke" according to Kerry), I "joked" with my friends that he wasn‘t referring to me or any others who have served in the ‘stan. We must be smart :)
The most recent clown to make a disgusting remark was Barack Hussein "Osama" Obama. He said lives lost in the war in Iraq were for nothing - cheapening the ultimate sacrifice that countless of my comrades (brothers and sisters in arms) have made since this country was founded and forged in blood. And this political neophtye dares to run for the position of Commander-in-Chief? God help us if this buffoon wins. Here's what he said, exactly, in case you wanna know:
The Illinois senator told a crowd in Iowa: "We now have spent $400 billion and have seen over 3,000 lives of the bravest young Americans wasted."
What would be wasted is your vote if you vote for this fraud.
Hilary Rodham Klinton is another dandy one - her and her ‘husband‘ Bill have made no secret of their disdain and loathing of the military. Bill would rather get blow jobs under the desk in the Oral Office rather than do anything about Osama Bin Laden, the first World Trade Center bombing, U.S. Embassy bombings overseas, and the attack on the U.S.S. Cole (where several brave sailors lost their lives).
I did get a phone call from one of those conservative PACs last week. They did have the funniest 'poll' question ever. The girl, who had a sexy voice, also assured me this was the only question she would ask: "Did you get a sinking, twisted feeling in the pit of your stomach last week when Hilary Klinton decided to throw her hat into the presidential ring?" I busted up laughing and choked out an 'of course!' I didn't give any money to these people (they were promoting Dick Morris's book on the Clintons if you gave a certain amount). It was too early in the presidential race, I told her. (I also wasn't happy that it was 2045 - almost 2100 when she called - only friends and family should call that late, really). The question really was funny, though, although Bilary running for president, unfortunately, is not.
Now, I am not just another lock-step Republican - I am a conservative and a patriot-with-a-brain. Granted, I can count the number of Dems I have voted for in my life on one hand (they were pro-life and were running unopposed in the local elections - I did vote for Dukakis in 1988 - but don‘t tell anyone) :)
I am just putting this out there so hopefully some who planned on voting for any of these imbeciles will think twice before they weaken our Defense Department, and therefore, our beloved United States of America - which is still (thank GOD) not spelled like this: AMERIKA....
It doesn't help that the politicos (on both sides) and the media don't let us do our job in the war. They micromanage and make us conform to the 'rules of engagement' (terrorists don't follow that, just like they don't follow the Geneva Convention - which they didn't sign anyway). As I've said before, at least the prisoners we take still have heads on them when we are through with them. Don't get me started on the purported 'abuses' at Abu Ghraib and Gitmo.
Anyway, there has been countless other gaffes from liberals of every stripe - too many to be recounted here. Don‘t let those libs or the biased main-stream liberal media explain it away as a joke or a ‘mis-speak‘ - these people are professional speakers and are doing just that - speaking their minds. They didn‘t mis-speak at all - they are just letting us know what they really think, and what a lot of people out there really think. They don‘t support the troops and they never have. I can‘t tell you what this did to my morale and psyche during my recent year-long vacation in Afghanistan. Don‘t be fooled. I‘m not.
