I'm from the generation that sees a hero when a person accomplishes something successfully using a combination of skill, perseverance and courage.
McCainiac, finished 2nd to last in his class at Annapolis. He was only there in the first place because his father was CinCPac. And imagine how many guys way above him in his class who were passed over for pilot training.
McCain managed to destroy 3 Navy aircraft without being shot at.
I'm not convinced that he was actually shot down in Vietnam it may have been pilot error.
I've seen nothing resembling evidence that he turned down an offer of early release as a POW. In fact, I can't imagine what would have motivated the North Viets to just let him go... Maybe there was a prisoner exchange gambit on the part of NV that was rejected. But try to imagine this in your minds' eyes:
NV: "Mr. McCain, you are free to go."
McCainiac: "No' I'm staying here until all of my comrades are also released."
I do remember the photo of McCainiac lying in a nice clean infirmary bed with his arm in a sling, puffing on a cigarette. I've met a couple of POWs and neither mentioned any such treatment for themselves.
Now days the guy kisses every liberal ass he can get next to.
Nothing. Some do need help, but; many are just good ole country boys like near the JD distillery.
Do I watch dancing with the stars? Only when Fox showed Palin, her husband, daughter, etc.
McCain was like a prince to the NVA as his father was CINCPAC. I vividly recall Project Sigma having an AK 47 mounted for the ADM (McCain’s father) in July 68. McCain may have wrecked some planes, but; getting shot down in the north is no picnic. I served with MACVSOG men from every FOB. None run their mouth nor do any put a pilot down.
So was Einstein and he was a Socialist/Marxist.
caught? LOL. you are spreading outright lies.
You suffer for an extreme case of insane PDS.
I have to laugh at all the idiotic (sad really) posts you have made on this thread. I suggest you seek some serious therapy.
Palin is an extremely intelligent and gifted leader. She has 18 years of stellar executive experience in government service.
P.S. Is that you Rove???? LOL
We all honor McCain's military service.
However, when the history of this period is written, the damage done to the very foundation of our beloved Republic by McCain will be 1 x 10 ** 100 times greater than the good of his early career.
We can list his many failings: his many "gang" shenanigans; his vote against making the Bush tax cuts permanent; his insane belief is man-made Global Warming; his immigration positions; his destructive attacks on Conservatives, and on and on.
The absolute best thing McCain ever did in his political career was to select Palin as his VP.
I’m not going to get into any hating of Ann.
What I want to point out is that Ann worked for “Human Events” and her mentor was a prominent beltway conservative, M. Stanton Evans.
Mr. Evans and his contemporaries of the beltway conservatives like Jack Kilpatrick and Phyllis Schlafly circled the wagons against the liberal media when they attacked Nixon in the early 70’s.
The “conservative” answer in those turbulent times to the long haired hippie pinko sympathizers of the liberal media was a mantra of “fair and balanced” (heard that anywhere?).
But that meant that folks like Schlafly publicly supported the FCC Fairness Doctrine. NBC News fought a lengthy legal battle when they were cited for bias in a documentary on pensions in the 70’s.
Sadly, the stiffest Fairness Doctrine penalty of the Nixon Era was shutting down a fundamentalist preacher’s radio station.
Dr. Carl McIntire led hundreds of thousands in protest for a military victory in the Vietnam War instead of the peace deal Nixon wanted with the Communists.
That preacher made the “enemies list” of Nixon along with the leftists and hippies.
Ann Coulter defended the “peace deal” in Vietnam and said the liberals in Congress are to blame for denying aid when the Communists broke the treaty.
But since when have Communists kept any piece of paper they sign.
REMEMBER, WE HAVE A SIGNED ARMISTICE IN KOREA RIGHT NOW.....
I served with MACVSOG men from every FOB. None run their mouth nor do any put a pilot down.
I see. So you don’t think John McLaim was a “snitch” for the VietCong while in Hotel HAnoi.?....
Doesn’t sound like PDS to me. Sounds like a legitimate criticism of Palin. I speak as someone who has donated several times to her SuperPAC.
Sarah is good at firing up those of us who are already conservative, but she has a problem reaching past us...and it ISN’T just the fault of the masses. Look at Limbaugh...the guy has learned how to reach out to millions, and even has liberals listening to him.
I don’t hate Sarah, I think she is great. I also think there is room for those who think she could/should do better...IF she wants to go beyond funding congressional candidates and firing up the base. :)
I’ve never in my life known of a woman who was so strongly hated by so many Americans than Sarah Palin. I actually heard one guy say recently that he voted for obama in 2008 as a lesser of two evils. He said Palin was the evil he voted against.
You are a boy, right...?
;-\
What exactly does Coulter do for a living? Where does her income come from unless it’s all from her stupid books? I don’t read them.....
By the time Sarah Palin 'first burst on the scene' Lady Thatcher had already been diagnosed with dementia. I doubt she knew enough about Sarah Palin to treat her in the dismissive manner that Coulter says she did.
I can’t believe I am defending Sarah. But...when SP went to England Thatcher was in the mid stages of dementia. No one was meeting with her. And certainly, no one was going to put that on TV. The fact that Sarah’s people were not aware of this would be of concern. But those are marketing people, so it really doesn’t count.
It is far easier to bash her than support her since the commiemedia will support whatever you say about her. Sad truth is she could win the Presidency if she ran but the so called Conservatives in places like this don’t have the spine to support her.
FReepers are as spineless as the rest of the eGOP.
Pray for America to Wake Up
“speaking proper English, reading stuff, knowing lots of things”
Now this is a person who knows a lot of stuff. Looks like she and Couric hang with the same people.
Whatever the opposite of PDS is, this “writer” has it.
