Reminds me of the idiots who wail about the wildlife that'll be destroyed if we drill in ANWR. Clearly they have no idea that the drilling area is on a bleak, desolate coast inhabited almost exclusively by caribou (who love the pipeline because it's warm), foxes (mostly rabid), and huge, biting flies. The wind chill routinely drops to -60 degrees in the winter, and the only plants that grow there are small, lichen-like plants eaten by the caribou.
Stupid, ignorant liberals.
Presidential hopeful John Edwards said Monday that Americans should speak out against the war in Iraq this Memorial Day weekend, renewing an anti-war call that has been criticized by the leader of the American Legion.
Edwards also said all young people should serve their country, “not just poor kids who get sent to war.”
The former U.S. senator from North Carolina and 2004 vice presidential nominee said the most patriotic position now is to end the war, and the best way to honor veterans this Memorial Day weekend is to bring the troops home from Iraq.
“There’s another thing we need to do as patriots, to serve the men and women who are serving this country in Iraq, and that is to speak out this weekend,” Edwards said.
He said ending the war is key to repairing the damaged U.S. reputation abroad.
“America desperately needs to reclaim our moral position in the world, which has been so devastated,” he said. “America has to be a force for good. ... The world thinks we’re a bully and we’re selfish.”
Last week, Edwards sent a Web notice asking his supporters to use the holiday to speak against the war. Paul Morin, national commander of the American Legion, called the request “as inappropriate as a political bumper sticker on an Arlington headstone.”
And Edwards called for plans
Good post your 100% the Democrats, always have to hide who they really are.
I heard it...had to exude every bit of self control I had not to yell at the monitor....lest everyone else in my office think I’ve lost it! LOL!
Any Presidential candidate that wants to be taken seriously addresses the national conventions of the VFW and American Legion.
I wanna see how this @sshat explains himself in front of all of those veterans for this stunt.
Edwards should be confined to his house. He can spend his time counting the light bulbs.
Lower carb than most deserts but not truly low carb.

Heck, the other day while BUILDING A FENCE (in my yard,)
Did you ask the environmentalists if you can? LOL. They might want to see if deer or other wild animals would be upset at your fence.
Sounds yummy!
It looks pretty good
They have Big Bend State park down there for all of those “land animals” to play in.
Good idea.
