Do you have more than three Purple Hearts and a Silver Star?


Arthur Kramer


Actually, Art, you shouldn't be using Purple Hearts as a measure of
valor. They demonstrate either bad luck, or if garnered in groups, a
level of combat incompetence.

I've got an SSM and five DFC's, but no PH. I'd rather win than lose.
I'd rather America prevail than the Islamic fundamentalists. I'd
rather retain national sovereignty than subject us to the whims of the
UN. I'd rather carry my own weapon and defend myself. I'd rather
individual responsibility than a welfare state. I'd rather keep my
earnings and make my own spending choices. I'd like higher standards
rather than affirmative action.

Any questions?

There are those who will do nothing for anyone under any circumstances
regardless of need. Then there are those who are more concerned and helpful to
those in need. Your mileage may vary. There is nothing heroic about greed.

O.K., the first time you were caught in this lie . . .

The second time you were caught in this lie . . .

The third time you were caught in this lie . . .

Number 4 by my count. I probably missed a few.

Repeating a lie over and over and over and then again over once more only
works on the weak-minded. It does say something about the messenger though.

Yeah. The only thing that could be worse is if we had a bunch of
limp-wristed, pacifist, liberal democrates instead.


Funny how people can back someone who checked "do not volunteer" on his
paperwork, and denigrate a decorated veteran who volunteered for Viet Nam

and
was wounded 3 times.

But you mean like this limp-wristed, pacifist, liberal democrates [sic]?

"In a combat environment often requiring independent, decisive action LTJG
(Lieutenant Junior Grade) Kerry was unsurpassed. He constantly reviewed

tactics
and lessons learned in river operations and applied his experience at

every
opportunity. On one occasion while in tactical command of a three boat
operation his units were taken under fire from ambush. LTJG Kerry rapidly
assessed the situation and ordered his units to turn directly into the

ambush.
This decision resulted in routing the attackers with several enemy KIAs.

LTJG Kerry emerges as the acknowledged leader in his peer group. His

bearing
and appearance are above reproach. He has of his own volition learned the
Vietnamese language and is instrumental in the successful Vietnamese

training
programs.

During this period of this report LTJG Kerry has been awarded the Silver

Star
medal, the Bronze Star medal, the Purple Heart medal (2nd and 3rd awards).

So we had to wade through all of that for that little gem, Comrade Art? Do
a little reading, sport. Start with any report on Waco if you want to talk
about civil liberties under administration n vs. n-1.

Be proud of yourself when the second american reolution (back to the
constitution) happens. You played your part in getting Atlas to Shrug.

Well I watched "Hardball" last night with Campbell Brown.

She had Bartlett, one of the Bushies on. She asked him a question. He

talked
for a while and she said something like, "you are very articulate, but

that
avoids the question completely." I wish more of the Press would point

out
that
the vast majority of the questions asked are just totally avoided on

both
sides.

She also showed two clips back to back of VP Cheney caught in a big lie

about
Atta's supposed meeting with Iraqi intelligence in Prague. In the one

clip,
Cheney said it was "confirmed" that Atta met with Iraqi intelligence.

About a
year later he said he never said that.

Running the clips back to back showed that he just lied. Bartlett

hemmed
and
hawed about that and said the question was still open, but Cheney's

words
definitively said it was NOT open -- it was CONFIRMED (in case anyone

missed it
the first time) that Atta met with Iraqi intelligence.

These ******* Republicans have got to go.

Walt



The constitution was intact until Bush was elected.

Ummm, Dude- tell me; how exactly does he "keep $900,000 for himself,"
exactly?

I hear this stuff from Comrade Art and the other Mikhail Moores of the
world.

I've heard of only a very small number of wealthy people who hid their money
in mattresses or buried them in the back yard; oddly enough, most of them
were either espoused socialists or some other brand of kook.

OK, Art. Put up. What part of the Constitution is no longer intact?
What has been fractured and by what specific Bush action? Have your
rights been impaired? Are you going to bring up the PATRIOT act? How
has that impacted your freedom. Have you been incarcerated? Censored?
Abused? Religously restricted? Have your taxes been raised? Is your
economy improving after the damage of 9/11? Is unemployment down,
productivity up?

Oh, you'd rather redistribute the wealth of the wage-earners to the
welfare queens and coke dealers.



Here's the difference between a Democrate and Republican. A Democrate
with a million dollars would give the bottom 100 million on the wage
chart each a penny (have to have the equality thing, no favortism
etc.) effectively helping nobody and accomplishing nothing but ****ing
away a million dollars, adding themselves to the welfare-cheese line,
and then bitching because the government isn't supporting him. A
Republican would give $10,000 to ten dirt-poor people and keep the
other $900,000 of his hard-earned cash for himself. How is this
better? Those ten people will be able to actually make their lives
better, the rich guy will stay off the welfare charts AND he's still a
happy camper.





Stop sloganeering and support your contention.

Uhm easy "dude". If I'm a millionaire and decide to donate 10k to ten
people and keep the rest in my bank account. To your typical
democrat (for some reason it looked odd without an "e" on the end)
that's not fair.
