Or how little he comprehends conservatism... if he even tries.
C'mon guys. Show Gary some respect.
Even though his support for Miers may have been clouded and based on a single issue (religion) and therefore wrong in principle - what he did as a Green Beret (see his tag line) in Vietnam deserves some respect. I 'argued' with him over Miers countless times, but sheesh, disagree fine, please don't insult him or his intelligence. "Dumb" & "Green Beret" don't go together.
Maybe I'm being too kind and deferential because of 'what he was'? But I do know what the SF did 'in country' and the fact that he's here says something in itself.
FYI, The US Army Special Forces had more Medals of Honor awarded (mostly posthumously) and suffered more casualties percentage wise than any other unit in the entire U.S. military during the Vietnam War.Okay, I'm done - continue arguing :-)

You're right--though I didn't see the part about him being a Green Beret at the time. I just don't like the idea that anyone who opposes someone religious is therefore anti-religious, when in many cases nothing could be farther from the truth.
Case in point: even Gary probably opposed "Evangelical" Jimmy Carter.
