And I drove my car around (for the better part of a year up here in Massachusetts during and after the election) with this sticker on my rear window.

That should make me as deserving of a Purple Heart than Kerry ever was.

I feel like my flag should be at half mast.

Our freedoms and liberties are at stake. President Bush, as disappointing as he may have been, isn’t the problem; the left is, as they waste our tax dollars on senseless investigations on settled and known matters. As they convince many that bans on legal conduct and restrictive punitive laws for the “good of all,” as they pervert the traditional meaning of marriage of one man, one woman, as they restrict what values we may teach our own children and as they continue disarming us, our freedoms and liberties are slowly sliding away, as their power and riches grow.
Indeed, 'Ma, mine too. I contributed to both the Swifties and Vets for Truth plus got copies of Stolen Honour distributed to some folks I knew. John F'n Kerry is the billboard of truth for my tag-line.

Bump for "Red's Raiders" !!

So far you sound like Kerry's personal publicist. How about some particulars -- like, to name a few --

*** why isn't his meeting with enemy representatives during time of war, while still in the United States Navy, and then following their playbook to the letter, not grounds to be tried for treason?
*** Why hasn't he released a copy of his ORIGINAL 1972 discharge?
*** Why hasn't he released his full military record?
*** How about proving that the entire chain of command that he served in [including the Commanding Admiral], and who made up the original Swiftboaters, and all but I believe it was two of his own crew turned up to be liars and in the pay of the Republicans?
*** What specific lies did they tell about him?
*** He had plenty of money to pay to sue them one at a time or in bunches; how many of them did he sue for libel -- and how many of them resulted in verdicts in his favor?

Come on let's see some specifics. Otherwise, drop it before you make a complete fool of yourself.

Smearing and insulting the SWIFTIES guarantees a kick in the ass out the door. That’s our policy. ;)

You made my heart stop. When I saw your ping, I thought I was getting yelled at. I've never taken getting yelled at very well...that's why I always try to be a good girl. My lower lip is still quivering. NO sarc tag.

Anyhoo, I'm very glad to hear that's the policy. Thank you for your "swift kick".

I came here, from there.... and believe, without a doubt, they did much more than just stop skerry. If it weren't for both- "my own" current crop of Marines would be suffering a fate as bad as or worse than the 'Nam vets.

Ain't that right, Tonk ♥

I'm sure it was a typo....Scott Sweet should be Scott Swett. However, Scott (Interesting Times) is a sweet guy who not only is an author, but a pianist and a hellluva sweet singer and song-writer. We were royally entertainied by him in a small salon on one of the freeper cruises. He brought the house, um, the ship down with his wind-up song, "God Bless the U.S.A."

Our resident authors, Scott and Tim Ziegler (The Shrew) who wrote the definitive book on the Swifties are among FR's greatest treasures.

I urge each of you to get a copy of "To Set the Record Straight" straightaway. You can probably freepmail either one to find out how to order. I'm looking at my copy on the shelf above my computer. It's a beautifully bound book and I received it within days of ordering.

Luv you guys. Eagles up!

I had an uncle who witnessed the work of The Red Raiders in WWII, and picked up the pieces.

The Swifties put together a class political smear book. It had it’s efficacy in that it was influential enough to help keep Kerry from being elected. Just because it served its purpose and we scored a victory with the book doesn’t mean we should start confusing it with truth.

Scott, this RedWhiteAndBlue troll seems to think you're some kind of political hack. Admin Mod has turned him into BlackAndBlueTrollDust, but I thought you might be interested in setting him straight. I'm sure he's still lurking.

Reagan: What do you mean by "WE"?

And mine! Bump to you both and thanks for the pings.

I'm late to the party and can only wonder how RW&B lasted over a year here?

I started lowering my flag when Bush announced that he was keeping Minetta on as a Cabinet Officer. It has been slowly coming down ever since then.
