It is quite useful to remember history. It is funny that the party that wants to deprive our soldiers of their right to vote, is the same party that has been quietly (and some not-so-quietly) opposing this war.
And yet, the soldiers carries on with his job.
These demoSCUMs couldn't carry a Pfc's water.
God Bless the men and women of our military services.
Today as I watched those Marines, I thought of what fondness the military has for President Bush, and how important that's been in the performance of duty.
Al Gore and Joe Lieberman and the democrats let us know what they think of the military back during the fight for the election. The Democrats didn't get it then, don't get it now, they never will. Here's timely proof from this week's Joe Klein editorial in TIME magazine. Just a snippet of him making fun of President Bush, and by extension, the military:
"President Bush visited the Marines at Camp Lejeune last week. He also visited the Coast Guard. The week before, he visited the Army; before that, the navy. The speeches were pretty much the same; Saddam's finished, victory is assured, hurrah for our courageous troops. Cheerleading is a plausible presidential function, I suppose, but an odd thing has happened to Bush as the war has progressed. He has not grown in stature or gravitas, as wartime leaders usually do; he may have diminished....."
How's that for "not getting it"?
I resemble that remark:)
Even more infuriating were attempts by Democrats to disqualify military ballots that had no overseas postmark.
What's he doing now; what's he up to?
