The mea culpa that Democrats are blaming the war and not the warriors is laughable

For years now I've trying to get my arms around "we support the troops but not the war" that the left keeps spouting...so far, no joy. This joke (and a darn funny one it is) really shows just what the left thinks of those who have gone or are now in the military....that we're stupid boobs.

I always thought that "we support the troops but not the war" is a "smart wordplay" invented by liberals to confuse the issue. Because if the sentiment is truly sincere, there is a good analogy to that: "tough love".

Its not uncommon to want a short-term loss for your loved one with a hope for a long-term gain. If mom calls police on her son trying to straighten him up; or you cheer against your home team with the hope that they will finally fire that bustard and the days of old glory will return with a new guy. You see what I mean? So, yes, I can imagine how a leftists can be confused (oxymoron, isn't it?) into thinking that they do support our troops but are against the war. It is entirely different thing to actually believe them ...

Notice how they talk about supporting y'all, but say nothing about respecting you. Military, parents, taxpayers, you name it, if you don't think like they do, they think they're more qualified to do the thinking. They want you to let them be your mommy.
