Memorial Day (OT)
Since politics is the third favorite subject here, behind racing and
porn I wanted to weigh in with some comments particularly because of the stupid **** going on these days. I get hammered for arguing the "right wing" side here, and I've explained why I do it to no avail. I want and need to do something different today. If Bush and company aren't guilty of treason it's only because the left fought so hard to make it almost impossible to prosecute someone for this, but they did that in self defense since there's no question in my mind Hanoi Jane, at least, was guilty of it along with many others. Anyway, everywhere you look today, it's the "Kommie Left" stepping up fighting to get the troops better equipment, medical care, benefits, and decent treatment. I hear lots of lip service, and PR spots from the right, but they've closed ranks behind the military industrial, mercenary, clown complex at the expense of the folks getting their asses blown off. Lots of people here who get accused of being anti-American Commies have stepped up and donated to the USO and done other things I know of. What's un-American is to give anyone a free pass based on labels and rhetoric. I've said it before, and I'm not any less cynical about the motives, and am not about to forgive and forget, but today the vast majority of the folks on the left are doing far more for the troops, their families, and the Country than the clowns in the Whitehouse and their cronies. I just wanted to thank those folks here, especially since they do get abused by military folks, for showing up and supporting them anyway. That's a hell of a start to healing a lot of old wounds, and takes a lot of courage, and conviction from the folks on the left who are doing it. Anyway, Thanks folks. Bill C |
