CLICK HERE TO DO SOMETHIMG: Visit Patriots Revolt On one side of the isle, we have the all returned crew, who, no matter what evidence is presented ( even from their golden boy John McCain see below ) they go into immediate denial that any one was left behind,. then character assassinate any one who disagrees. They throw their medals around as a way to intimidate those who would go against their grain.

Freedom of speech and expression is something I appreciate and I will not allow any one, no matter where they been or what they have done rob me of that freedom through intimidation. PERIOD

On the other side of the isle we have the nuts… good men who believe in the promise that “No Man will ever be intentionally left behind”. The Nuts and weirdo’s are a persistent lot and will not relent until all are home or in American soil. This miffs the all returned crew to the point that they will even try and disparage their own, other Nam PoW’s who broke away from the circle and investigated. Col. Ted W.

But first…………

Lets Talk about
Medal Thumpers and Fear Mongers
vs.
Heroes

Medal Thumpers & Fear Mongers:

Once again a group of foolish Americans has been resurrected that I call medal thumpers and fear mongers who want you to pay attention to them. According to some, unless you were where they have been, you have no right to be vocal with your opinion and they raise their medals that proclaim their honor and hero status to intimidate.

WRONG!

The freedom of speech is the single most important political right of ALL American citizens.

With apologies, I’d like to bring up a link concerning a discussion that dragged on into EPUland downstairs, regarding candidates’ stances on issues, warts & all.

Just wanted to get some feedback on how others feel about reasons why…

Thanks for indulging me. *blush*

firedogs – I spent part of the 4th campaigning with local congressional candidate – and found myself focusing in on the various veteran contingents

they were genuinely shocked to hear the truth about ol Gafferick’s record on veterans benefits, especially about fighting against the New GI Bill . . . and then really, really pissed off about the chicken shit move to take credit for it

strange bedfellows indeed – after months of fighting, lobbying and flat out pestering the VFW, am now working with some local VFW Post Commanders to get a guest op-ed about his execrable record in the Austin, Dallas, Houston papers

But what about the 50% of voters who are true sheeple, those who get their info on the candidates by osmosis, thru 527 ads, sound bites, and the 30 sec ad. Lies rule! the truth, and corrections are never heard. and the sheeple continue to graze on popcorn and beer. As long as they got their sports, they don give a flyin f*k about warshinton dc, cause what they do don mean nottin to me. Those are the people who will elect our next president, and they will pick someone like gwb-not too smart, but a good ol boy you can sit and have a beer with-course ol georgie better be drinkin a o’dooles(non alki beer) stead of a bud.</p> all well and good.
