They're reprehensible (The Peoples representatives that is.....MUST READ !!!!!!)
WND ^ | July 18, 2006 | Mychal Massie

Posted on 07/20/2006 4:53:31 AM PDT by IrishMike

Well spoke Mark Twain when he said: "Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself." The truth be told not, only are they idiots, but many of them are the worst examples of humanity – and none is a better portrait of same than Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., but I am getting ahead of myself.

I justly brand these carrion the worst kind of human beings because of their relentless attacks against our military men and women. Theirs is not simply over-the-top foolish comments, they are personal, ad-hominem attacks directed at men and women who do not deserve them – but serve under a commander in chief Boxer and those like her loathe.

Our military men and women have families, friends and children who are proud of their relatives, friends and parents who serve. Boxer and those like writer Terry J. Allen, who can be best described as the hanky that catches the spittle from Boxer's lips, have no sense of propriety when it comes to making a simple fact fit a theory – the proportions of which even Michael Stone's work pales in comparison to.

For Boxer and Allen to label our military as being in a drugged stupor is unforgivable. Do some military personnel use various medications to sustain them during times of unimaginable stress? Yes, they do. Does that make the entire Armed Forces the equivalent of yesteryear's rock bands – and many of today's elected officials? No, it doesn't.

How do these wild-eyed accusations and incriminations make the children of military personnel feel? What does the child think after attending a school where teachers sing praises to Michael Moore and attack the war effort, and then witnessing their recently returned parents taking medication for a legitimate ailment?

Boxer and her ilk won't take the lesson. They are still trapped in 60's-era thinking, and the military is the cause of wars in their estimation.

AGREED!

BOXERFACE, PUHLOUSY, SCUBA TEDDY, BURPA BURGA MURTHA, REEDY REID, BYRDBRAIN, SKERRY, MC CHURIAN, . . . the list seems endless . . .

are all vermin infesting the body politic with traitorous idiocies.

They'd not have gotten away with such in the old Wild West.

. . . at least in some regions.

Great rant by the author.

"RANT:

to speak in a very loud, aggressive, or bombastic way, usually at length and repetitively...speech or language that is very loud and threatening but also monotonous or unconvincing"

I'm thinking you didn't mean this = as an editor, I would have suggested another word - maybe "piece", "definitive piece", "article", "critique", "commentary", "expose"...???

Please take two minutes to read Mr. Massie's fine article regarding the treatment of America's military.

EX-Marine J. Murtha certainly fits into this category. May we all be inspired to do more than simply gripe online to remove him from Congress for his treachery.

Please support Murtha's worthy opponent - Diana Irey in whatever way you can.

Hanging traitors and horse thieves is no longer acceptable in modern society (which is too bad), and there is reason to believe that SCOTUS would find it illegal and would ignore our Constitution in favor of European compassion for scum.
Therefore we are left but with one choice,
....... VOTE THE B@ST@RDS OUT

To speak or write in an angry or violent manner; (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/rant)

Nothing wrong with rant. He is certainly angry.
And I dare say if you were in the room with him, he would sound "loud, aggressive"

Excellent piece by Mr. Massie, thanks for the post and the ping.

Even though it approaches criminal behavior, we have come to expect these kinds of attacks and exaggerations from much of the media and we tolerate much of it with a grain of salt.

What should never be expected or accepted is rhetoric like this from any of the 535 elected Congresspeople who are in Washington DC to speak for us and enact the laws under which we live. For them to exaggerate and denegrate our military people, especially in a time of war, is unforgivable and should not be tolerated by us.

For the people of this nation to stand together as one in this War on Terror, those 535 elected people should be leading by standing together to strengthen the moral and resolve of those who risk their lives daily for our freedom. Instead there are many who are more interested in their own little world of power. It's disgusting.
