   ^True. Enough of the window-dressing for marxist change and crony payoffs.

   At least it isn’t 911. What did happen to all the Republican claims we’d be attacked again if Obama won? Yes, he’s been challenged, and he hasn’t rushed into a bunch of bad decisions. I am getting impatient on some things, but also have too many life experiences to think that wise men should rush into the same paths as fools.

    TROUT, you know, everytime I watch a WWII picture that takes place on the homefront, I think of dopes like you. I mean, here we were having all those air raid and black-out drills– even painting over the windows at Grand Central Station, and training all those civilians in emergency first aid, and for what? Not only didn’t the Japanese and Germans bomb us, but they couldn’t have flown that far if they wanted to! What a waste of time. Roosevelt sure was a fear monger, wasn’t he? I’m sure he did all that so he would win re-election.

    (Sorry, I just watched one of those jingoistic, pro-war, patriotic, purely American war-time propaganda films last night. Disgraceful! Didn’t the people back then realize they were just the pawns for the corporate elite?)

    Imagine if it was a republican president that signed over the country to China, bankrupted the nation, accomplished nothing with full support of the house and senate.

    In summary all he has done is made it worse. He spent billions on nothing and pushed his homosexual agenda.

    Church, The Santa Barbara oil fields were shelled by a submarine. The Oregon coast took a few, non-destructive hits as well. The only mainland American fatalities in WW II were killed about 30 miles from my back yard, by a balloon bomb.

    I’m a disabled ‘Nam vet. My son is about to get out as a disabled veteran of Iraq, Bosnia, and “elsewhere”, after 11 years of service with folks who really know “where we’ve been, and what we’ve done”.

    When I see scars, emotional and physical, I look no further than my son and I, and wonder how so many “right wing chickenhawks” who’ve never been anywhere, or given anything, get their hatred, malice, and stupidity.

    Read “Sniper One” or “Apache”, written by BRITISH soldiers who served in Afghanistan and Iraq. The interesting fact is that those men write not with “John Wayne cowboy bravado”, but with the simple common sense that war is about killing, not glamor, and true heros don’t wave flags and thump their chest, they just do their job.

    I’m glad to see Obama is doing things to prove he cares about these true “heroes”. As Forest would say, “and that’s a fact.”

    dtroutma, well said, sir. My daughter was in the army reserves and my father was a WW2 vet. War is hell and not something to be played at with human lives. Chickenhawks like Cheney put us where we are today.

    Most conservatives show compassion for the military, veterans and war hero’s. I have yet to see anyone go after someone on this site that was stating there war injuries.
    That is the reason why most have been silent.

    With that said my grandfather and almost all his brothers fought in WWII, my dad and uncle were both in Vietnam. I myself was in Iraq.
    I just do not use that for leverage. That was in the past.

    The choices and decisions I make today will impact the future.

    I’ve said it before. There are no political designations on the tombstone markers at Arlington cemetery. They died for one nation and all of us. We have one president leading this country for us and pointing this country away from what brought us to our plight. Our choice was President Obama. I tire of right- wing- B.S.,” birthers”,science deniers, death panels, hokum and smoke. So let us see real substance and solutions from the right……crickets……crickets….. not more tired, negative whiners. Pup brace for 8 years baby!

    Eagle, that is such BS. Take off your partisan blinders and open your eyes. We’ve been slowly sold off to the Chinese for many years now and it started loooong before Obama took office.

    Take a good, honest look at W’s presidency. Bush had 8 years of deficit spending. He borrowed so much money, the Republican lead Congress had to change the law to raise the limit on how much debt the government could legally have. He wasted trillions of dollars on unnecessary wars, boondoggles, and over priced, unfulfilled military contracts. Bush gave 15 billion dollars to the airlines after 9/11 with no strings attached. After the executives gave themselves raises and bonuses, they asked for even more because they didn’t have enough to install sturdy doors in the cockpit. He gave away 700 billion dollars to mega banks with no strings attached. After the executives gave themselves raises and bonuses, they asked for even more because they lost track of how they spent it. At least with Obama’s bailout, the banks who take the bailout money have to repay it.

    Where you may see a “homosexual agenda,” many of us see a civil rights issue. You obviously haven’t paid any real attention to Obama’s beliefs on that subject, either. He never had much of a “homosexual agenda.” He wouldn’t even give “the gays” much in the way of empty promises. From what I’ve seen he just dances around the issue.

    My grandfather also fought in WWII. My uncles, father, step-father, and step-uncles all served in Vietnam. I also have cousins who served in the first golf war. My family’s or your family’s military service, noble as it may be, has nothing to do with partisan politics. It also doesn’t give a person a free pass in a discussion forum. People “go after” other people based on the content of their comment(s), not their military service.

    TROUT: Sorry I took so long to reply.

    Thank you for your and your son’s service.

    As I’ve opined before, there is no doubt you came back from ‘Nam scarred in more ways than one. You are part of the Hate America First crowd, and proud of it. Perhaps you have valid reasons for feeling that way after what the country did to you and you comrads, and then cutting and running.

    From your writings, you are a poster boy for Peace at Any Cost. I doubt you have considered any military incursion since WWII a worthwhile effort. But I could be wrong. Still, you served, and have my respect.

    Just out of curiosity– and it really doesn’t matter– but did you enlist, or get drafted? And while I’m being curious– and again, this is personal, so you don’t need to answer– but your son volunteered two years before 9/11. How in the world did that happen growing up around someone with your views? (and I sincerely meant that in the most positive light). I’m sure you were worried– as any parent would be– about his decision, but were you upset? Or have your opinions evolved since his deployments or being wounded? Perhaps you thought the chances of a major military conflict were remote?

    Regardless, you’re both patiots, you have my respect, and you are entitled to your views, whether I agree with them or not. The fact that you served makes them no more valid than mine. I hope we can agree on that.

    Enlisted, volunteered for ‘Nam. Son went Navy because I didn’t want him around the crazy people I was with, he ended up with SCW, so much for that. (yes, we did hope for no more SENSELESS war.)

    Going after bin Laden and the camps was OKAY! Removing governments, once again, and invading Iraq, pure stupidity.

    I get disgusted with the “hate America” charge- sorry, searching for a word that will not be censored— blleep, coming from so many folks who really DO hate it, because they refuse to stand up for it, (military service, or alternatives, and finding out what is really going on) against corporations, and those out to destroy this nation, not for just legitimate “profit”, but for ludicrous thievery not only unchecked, but rewarded.

    I can think of no persons who hate America more than Dick Cheney and Karl Rove- oh, they love the perks, but have deliberately set fire to the Constitution, and used ignorance, from their candidates, and electors, to get their way.

    I not only love my country, but have spent over 40 years working to make it a better place for ALL of us, and tried to wake people up to the dangers rampant in the last 25 years.

    Sorry, but anyone who put their life on the line for this country (military, firefighter, cop etc) has a LOT MORE VALID “Privilege”, not just right to speak, and be heard. Think of the old “chicken is involved, but the pig is truly committed” breakfast analogy.

    Jase99,

    In reference to your comments.
    The facts are when Bush left the debt was at 1 trillion.
    Obama has more than doubled that and before it is over with the debt could be as at or more than 10 trillion.

    You then spoke about the homosexual agenda and compared it to civil rights.

    The best ward for the homosexual agenda is abomination. In the end it leads to additional more problems such as STD’s an death.

    Jase99 said, about 9 hours ago

    From where I’m sitting the abomination is that attitude. I compare it to civil rights because I believe it /is/ an issue of civil rights. In the end, it doesn’t lead to any more problems then heterosexual sex. It does, however, expose some people’s already existing unchristian hatred and hypocrisy.
