Here's one that I feel compelled to add after my husband and I wasted our time at a dinner with some of my medical school classmates and their significant others.
Upon hearing that my husband was a soldier, one of these enlightened liberals, after his fiancee marched off and refused to look at my husband ever again, attempted to engage my husband in conversation. The unlucky liberal terminated the subject once he realized that my husband was not going to let him pontificate about how the military should be run (score one victory for Sgt. AQGeiger!). Anyhoo, here's a part of the conversation, as related by my husband...
Liberal: I just don't understand why you don't want to vote for Kerry.
Hubby: Well, Kerry did vote against the funding for the body armor that protected me while in Iraq.
Liberal: Well, the numbers just don't add up. I can't believe there has to be that much money appropriated for body armor.
Hubby: Well, if you consider the cost of the body armor, and the expense involved in protecting every soldier in-country, it gets a little expensive.
Liberal: Why can't you just swith off your armor with other soldiers?
He couldn't seem to understand that my husband needs to keep his body armor for the next deployment, and that the soldiers relieving his unit also need body armor while the two units are in the area together.
So, here's my addendum to this editoral.....
"You might be a Kerry supporter if you think that soldiers in Iraq should have to share their body armor with other soldiers."
You know, I think I've been giving liberals more credit than they're due in the case of intellect. I just don't want to believe that anyone could REALLY be as stupid as they continually show us they are. But they seem to prove my optimistic outlook for them wrong every time!
