I don't have the slightest bit of contempt for anyone who saw soliders returning from Vietnam being spat on and then decided this country wasn't worth serving. It was immoral to send boys off to die in a war no one cared about without giving them the support they needed to win and the respect they needed to have honor. In the exact same way, I don't have the slightest ill will for anyone who saw the treatment even Roberts received, let alone Miers, and decided that this political culture is too sick and poisoned to be worth saving. We have fewer than 48 genuine Republicans in the Senate—a lot fewer, when push comes to shove. Don't be shocked when people refuse to march off to have their sacred honor ruined for no purpose.
It's one thing to risk an honorable death in a noble cause. It's quite another to be degraded and ridiculed by your supposed friends in a hopeless fight. It takes a lot of damned gall to say that anyone who refuses to throw himself into the meat grinder that you have created for him is a coward and a traitor. The Republican party is split between pathetic liberal squishes taking potshots at the President for their own political gain, and stiff-necked wingnuts who would rather wallow in ideologically pure defeat than sack up and play the game of politics intelligently. If this is the best ruling party this country has to offer, we don't deserve a Constitution.
Anyone that refuses to defend the Constitution of the United States when asked by the President of the United States is a coward.
I most strongly disagree. America is worth fighting for. And fight I will do.
Since Liberals have not fixed anything in over 50 years, and the GOP hasn't fixed anything because their afraid of those big bad wolves ... the Liberals, it's time for some NEW ideas that actually might solve some problems. You got nothing NOW.
