JFK: Defending the Indefensible

[Anonymous]

Dude, what planet did you just come from?

[equalizer]

Villify and hate or get out of Rep party, Follow the rulebook: Never accept responsiblity, never admit a mistake. Always attack. From planet hate, heres my contribution: So Sen. Lindsey Graham get out, you supporter of enemy in Gitmo. Arnold, flaming party hater, get lost. As for Socialist Bloomberg, move to Canada, nobody wants your liberal Bloomberg terminals. As for Will,Buckley,Hitchens you pathethic little men. Hitchens turns flaming pink and unhinges : <li>
Et tu, Ben Stein, &^%$$ commie, who said "It Is Time For Rumsfeld To Go And For The President To Admit That Iraq Is A Mess," <http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/10/29/sunday/main2135739.shtml>
Can I stay in the party now? I got a much better idea. You demagogues can get the heck out while my buddies Arnie, Bloomberg and Lindsey will run and fix the country while you spew hate. Get out, we DONT want you. NoSuchR: Clear message from some posters here is that anything short of pure allegiance is "traitorous".

I keep reading and reading down through these comments, looking for someone to post that list of currently influential Republican war/military veterans. Is it coming soon? John McCain is certainly one, someone mentioned Duncan Hunter, but he is certainly more influential locally than nationally. How about real LEADERS of the current administration? Anyone? Anyone?

Oh yeah, Colin Powell used to be there, where did he go anyway? My guess is that we are going to be hearing some choice words from him when all this is over.

And PD, there are LOTS of Democrat officers, they just stay silent when they are in military company, because it is expected. They are doing the right thing for group cohesiveness, and protecting their promotions! Arguing politics in the office or with work-people is counter-productive to getting projects done. The military is a 24/7 ‘office’ situation. We even live on bases together, shop all together at the Commissary or Exchange. If I met someone like you when I was an Officer’s wife, i would not have engaged you in debate. I would have smiled politely, been nice, but never really let you into my brain because the Wive’s Club group (also known as Knive’s Club) and all it’s gossip went straight back to the command. Everything affects ‘morale’ – so we were told – and so most people keep quiet. There is no way I would have unloaded my politics onto you at the risk of you sharing it with your husband, who then would publicly ridicule mine RushLimbaugh style (we all know that is how it works in squadrons), and have it become public knowledge. If that happened, and someone with your strong views was C.O. or X.O. at the time, my husband’s career would be done. Don’t confuse silence with agreement.

And, Republicans wholeheartedly agree that our Congress and President have been a big disappointment on the fiscal conservatism side. But, we also know that the DemoRats would be worse on fiscal matters and dangerous on social and security matters.

Impossible.  The Democrats handed over a balanced budget and 8 years of relative peace.  

But feel free to continue spouting GOP talking points and ignoring reality; you're hardly alone.

Relative peace? Hmm… You are certainly right that Clinton did nothing after the first World Trade Center attacks, which probably emboldened the terrorists. Further, most of the planning for the second attack took place while Clinton was in office. Are we all supposed to pretend that the terrorists loved Clinton, took a sudden dislike to Bush and went into overdrive to blow up New York?

Clinton also did a great job of turning tail and running after Mogadishu. That did a nice hatchet job on our international credibility.

Also, Clinton faced un-parallel military challenges.
Don’t forget the great job of bombing the bridges of the
Danube river and OOOOOPS… the Chinese embassy.

My fanciful mind added the following to this story about a squirrel attack:

 Ricky the Squirrel has had enough. After endless hours of hearing John Kerry’s remarks and the resultant media firestorm broadcast through the open window, Ricky reached his breaking point. The pain of hearing his hero’s ignominy continuously broadcast left Ricky feeling helpless. His metal state was in such turmoil that when confronted by a public employee in uniform, he went a little a crazy. “I just wanted to do something to show my solidarity,” he sobbed as he was driven away in the animal control van.

Who cares about Clinton? And go to hell for suggesting just because I am a woman I am “servicing” Clinton by pointing out the failing of this administration. Clinton and Kerry are old news. It’s 2006–You need to dust off your talking points.

We are at war and you guys are looking for a good deal on a Corvette? Why don’t you drive that by the base and look at the lines of wives and children waiting for diapers and canned food to help just get by. I’m sure they’d appreciate your moral support.

[PD]

An argument that I find particularly silly is when people say, “How can you do (insert action) when (insert big event) is going on?”
Examples:
“How can you spend $30.00 on dinner when people in Ethiopia are starving?”
“How can you talk about John Kerry when there is a war going on?”

So, kristinejm, I take it you have completely put your life on hold because we are at war? You haven’t bought a new pair of shoes in three years? Or a car? Taken a vacation? Done something frivolous? Enjoyed a moment? Took pleasure in life?

Are you a military wife? Have you driven by these lines yourself? I am on base all the time and have not seen them, although there is assistance available to those who need it.

KJM, sorry that I'm not appropriately serious.

Submitted by PD on November 2, 2006 – 7:24am. Relative peace?

Yes – relative peace.  What part of that two word phrase are you having trouble understanding while you stumble over logic in an attempt to blame Clinton for all of America's woes despite the fact that he's been out of office for 6 years?

What happened to the party of personal responsibility and fiscal restraint that I grew up admiring?

I too am waiting for someone to provide a list of influential conservatives (or Bush appointees) with any military background. I am not holding my breath because I know the list is not long. I have only McCain and Rumsfeld so far. Can one of our super smart conservative posters help us out and add to the list? (Duncan Hunder and Duke Cunningham don’t count, you can do better than that can’t you?)

[PD]

I do not blame Clinton for all of our woes. However, I certainly do not glorify him for his “relative peace” either.
Gosh, I keep forgetting that I’ve lost 50+ IQ points from watching O’Reilly…..

Gosh, I keep forgetting that I've lost 50+ IQ points from watching O'Reilly…..

Please stop watching O'Reilly – he is the Jerry Springer of evening political talking heads.  Regardless of whether you're conservative or liberal, O'Reilly is an insult to your intelligence.  He takes complex issues, analyzes them without context, and argues simple solutions without considering potential ramifications. 

In short, he's a bum whose game is dependant upon viewers not doing their homework and becoming educated on the issues.  The sooner he's off the air the better off we'll all be, conservatives and liberals.

What is the average IQ of O’reilly’s viewers? That would be fascinating to see the stats.
