Cool to see Phil, who claims to be a lifelong democrat, chime in. His show is sometimes hilarious as well.

If you can't stand behind our troops, STAND IN FRONT OF THEM! Maybe that's where Moore and his ilk should be standing......in front of "the kids".

Dems can't understand maturity beyond dressing up. If they wear nice clothes, then they feel soooo grown-up...

Oh, and drink wine, not beer. That'll help.

Yeah, "kids, or boys & girls." This terminology irks me to no end. I have heard this bs, from left and right media, for the last 40 yrs. Although, President Ronald Reagan, never used those denigrating terms, not once.

I remember seeing that program with BOR and Michael Moore.
The guys was a frigging slob. The kind you would like to walk up to when he is talking his garbage and punch in the throat.

Like I always say about sending "children" to war:

If they cannot be trusted to make mature decisions on the battlefield or with their lives, why are we letting them cast ballots?

This is followed by...

By law, someone 18 or older is not a "child". If you disagree with the legal limit, petition your legislator to get it changed.

I've never had more rage at someone than when Michael Moore whines about Bush 'sending our kids' into battle. The disrespect and ignorance it shows is incredible.

That is my point. They aren't. Moore uses the word for emotional appeal. The folks fighting in Iraq are not "Children". Sorry for any confusion.

I don't know about Iraq but I was 19 yrs old when I went to Viet Nam. Had I not extended my tour 3 months I wouldn't have been of legal age to go to a bar when I got home FROM A WAR....

Did I think I was a child then?...No.
Do I now think a 19 or 20 yr old is an adult?...No.

No biggie. I am a grumpy VFW/DAV bastard about some points of view. Thanks for the clarification.

No, I would never send my child to go fight in any war, but if he or she should join one of our armed forces of his or her own volition, then I would be one very proud parent.
