God bless him.
Nice story. Not getting that much play that I know of. But then I never watch the evening news or read the big city papers. In any case, you can imagine the reaction if this guy were a Cindy Sheehan type and told off the president or disagreed with his policy. He would be on every news and cable show and he would be the new celebrity of the moment.
I was glad to see this in the WaPo
The Washington Post just couldn’t go through with a 100% positive piece. Notice how they highlight the father works for DIEBOLD. How is this even relevent to the story.
Great story.
Great story about the veto pen.
Amen to a Great Patriot. God bless our brave troops.
Wow! That’s Paul Harvey’s “Rest of the story...” future material.
I hope it will be one day.

There are some real doozies. Like this one
“Since he urged Bush to sign the veto with the pen perhaps he should also have urged Bush to rename Taps to Dergas Dirge so that when it is played at some other persons son or daughter he can remember that he supported the decision to kill more Americans. I also think that he should have to write to all the loved ones who are dying for Iraqi OIL and the misguide belief that by sending our sons and daughters over there it makes them safer here. Religious fanatics have fought and killed each other for century and this mans son wont change that, and his STAY the course only means we ship them the targets instead of making them work for it. It seems most people did not learn from previous wars. Wars solve nothing except for the Arms Ammunition, and Casket Manufacturers.”
Do they really believe the things they say?
What a fabulous, fabulous story.
In their puffed-up, smug, self-righteous, panty-wadded way, yeah, they "believe" it.
Of course you have to understand that for leftist extremists (and for far-right extremists for that matter) the relation between belief and truth/facts is inverted. Normal people hold that a belief is valid if and because it corresponds with truth. Extremists hold a truth to be valid if and because it corresponds to (politically correct) belief.

Liberals have so much hate in them that it has blinded their minds, their souls, and their hearts. I cannot believe that a group of people in this greatest nation in history have so much evil hate in them.
