I belong to the VFW and the American Legion. In my state the support for President Bush among the membership of these groups is greater than 90 percent.
These old farts have turned into pusses and forgot what fighting a war is really like, IMO.
That's what he said . . . or something to that effect.
And unfortunately the union guys don't think for themselves, but accept at face value the propaganda the union leaders dish out. An example: my brother, as conservative as I am, had to belong to the CWA as an employee of the telephone company. He was one of the very few who didn't believe the garbage dished out by the union leaders. One day he called to tell me that a woman he had worked with, but who had been laid off, had sent him an email complaining that "Ronald Reagan taxed her unemployment benefits." I went to the web and found that it was done by the Democrats during the ill-fated Jimmie Carter administration, and sent him the link. He sent the link to her and she refused to believe it because that was not what the union had told her. Such idiocy!
