OK, so what if you didn't read the DemoRAT hack piece by Politico; you still agree with it and are using the same tactic by contorting the truth to make your case.
Of course West Point didn't offer scholarships; I stated it was a term they used and still use - it's shorthand for a longer explanation of what they really do, get it???
But I can see that I am responding to a person that lacks understanding and is looking for ant reason to put down Carson.
I'll state this way then - I am responding to a person who agrees with a Politico DemoRAT hack piece, so why should you believe what I stated in post 503 or this post? Just don't call yourself a conservative because we are a lot more intelligent than you who are so GULLIBLE and DENSE.
GOOD LUCK!
I can’t believe this is still being argued after the fact that it was Politico that lied came out much earlier today. (What if it had beem Media Matters?)
I am 63 years old, white, male, been a Freeper since 1999, a born and bred Southerner of above average intelligence and TODAY was the first time I ever heard that everybody who went to West Point got free ride and that it wasn’t called a scholarship but something else that I am still unclear about.
And then I think about a 17 year old being feted by the most famous General of the times and heard something like, “You know....with your record and ROTC rankings, I bet I could help you get into West Point.... and the Army will pay for it”.
Ask me twenty years later and I would tell you, “Hey...I got an offer to go to West Point on a scholarship, but I wanted to be a doctor.”
The nitpicking going on here is shameless.
