I dunno what you’re on about with my “liberalism”. I’m a conservative.
The CREW was wearing uniforms. The president was not part of the crew. The president is a civilian. That is why I found it inappropriate to dress him in a military outfit. I found it inappropriate to fly him out in an expensive jet. It was taxpayer funded political theater. And that makes it a “costume” he was wearing. See?
Your veteran friends are welcome to engage me if they want, and explain why they think it’s appropriate for military money to be spent on what was, essentially, a campaign appearance.
I haven’t “barged into” anybody’s house. I’m posting on a political web site, and you happen to disagree with me on some political issues. That’s what politics is — we’re supposed to disagree. I suspect we disagree on most things only in degree.
I haven’t disregarded anyone’s rules.
It wasn’t me that called FR “the best free speech site on the net”. I was quoting another poster. That said, I’m quite enjoying a lot of the posters here. Some of them have a lot that’s interesting to say. Nobody’s spreading “liberal talking points”. Sheesh.
I wasn’t asking you to “justify my liberalism”. Remember, I’m not a liberal. Maybe a liberal in the classic, 1800s sense.
“No respect for the troops”?? WT..?? Where have I ever said any such thing? Maybe you’re confusing me with somebody else.

It seems to me that only the liberals got upset about that event. I guess flying Bill Clinton over to France in 1994 to upright American flags that his entourage knocked over for photographic purposes is a little more likable to your thinking?
