This out of a California paper... I am stunned and so is my beeber! :)
Right on for the author! :)
A little-known fact is that Abe Lincoln, during his single term in he House of Representatives, was greatly opposed to the Mexican War. He voted agains the Declaration of War.
However, once the US was at war, he voted for all supplies for the troops and did what he could to help his country win.
That is how you oppose a war but support the troops.
BTW, his stance cost him re-election.

The writer's pro football analogy is great. Even the village idiot would be able to comprehend it. Too bad that the average moonbat is so stupid the analogy will go right past him or her.
"Defatism" must be a new liposuction procedure. Is it better and cheaper than the old one?
However, once the US was at war, he voted for all supplies for the troops
Please say it ain't so....He voted FOR it after he voted AGAINST it?
It's ni-nite time for D48
Very good article. Not too wordy and right on target!
Sorry...an inadvertent typo error on my part.
Although, maybe "defatism" could be used on some of the porkier peaceniks like Rosie O'Donnell, Michael Moore, etc. It should be an especially painful procedure, for them...
Probably becasue they never graduated from grade skrewel; and are still drooling, waiting for their secondary teeth to grow in. Now when Peter Pan and the Tooth Fairy shows, up they may consulte the Wizard of Oz and get a brain.
That's my forecast, FWIW.
I liked the football analogy also.
The protestors enrage me, anyway, but Code Pink demonstrating at Walter Reed makes me want to fly there and kick some "pink-o" tail!
Every time I hear a protestor say "We support the troops, blah, blah..." I think of the poster that read "We support our troops when they kill their officers". (I may not have that exactly right, though.)
"Too bad that the average moonbat is so stupid the analogy will go right past him or her."
Also, they hate football!
I spit up my soda when I saw this thinking that it was the Salinas Californian. But then I saw that is from a local San Diego Area Paper. Par for San Diego. Had this been published in the Salinas paper I would have needed a stong reality check.
I can see this being par for the course for San Diego.... (love that place.)
I also thought it was from the Salinas paper too!
We would be honored to have you join us!

"We support our troops when they kill their officers". (I may not have that exactly right, though.)
You do, you have it exactly right, that was what the sign said. It was after that Muslim soldier fragged his officers too and killed them, so it was no idle, sarcastic remark.
It was incitement to treason and basically the person who held that sign should be in a a cell next to the long serving inmate Jane Fonda, in a better world that would be true.

Common sense will not work on Lefties.
True, but a 2x4 does.
