Well ya know, if ya can't be good, you gotta be like me and try not to get caught! LOL!!!

Don't know if you saw the speech by Kerry last night, but if you did, did you notice he did not once mention the freed Iraqis or the freedoms in Afghanistan without the Taliban in power? To do so would be to elevate our military and their CIC to what they are...HEROES. God bless them all.
Bump and Amen!
Re: the so called speech by John F'n Kerry - he talked about everything Dims hate trying to reach undecided voters, and hopefully, alienated many of his base. His OWN words prove that he is/was a traitor to his country, and should be executed as a self-professed war criminal.
9/11 - Afghanistan - Iraq - WE WILL NEVER FORGET!
Thanks, BobFromNJ, for stopping by the Canteen and helping honor our military.
