I was thinking “what’s next” Illegal Alien?

The courts created this, they need to undo the damage. The founders never figured internal control would leave the American psyche.

"I'm a retired Marine of 25 years," Alvarez said. "I just retired in 2001. Back in 1987 I was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. I got wounded many times, at the same time. I'm still around."

Alvarez later admitted he never served in the military.

It wouldn't surprise me if a real Marine walked up to this sick p.o.s. Alvarez and smashed his teeth down his throat.

Put him against the wall and I’ll take the live round.

[org.whodat]

left wondering who Alvarez really is

Is this guy a US Citizen?

A safe bet would be NO.

Alvarez was ambushed with a coffee cup!

aaarrrGGHHH!!!!! What a Phoney, HONOR stealing piece of ....! Bet he’s a DemonRAT too.

Unlike desecrating the flag, I doubt the courts would view that as "freedom of expression."

[mass55th]

Makes me wonder if he was even born here.

[mass55th]

or is a legal citizen.

GET THE ROPE FOR THE LYING SOB

[The Shrew]

Ping!

[supercat]

Actually I kind of agree with him. He does have the right to lie as long as it is not intended to cause an official to take actions they shouldn’t.

I'd extend that to be "not intended to cause anyone to take actions they wouldn't take absent such claim."

[ishabibble]

Best post of the day! These are wonderful, heroic stories and I loved reading them. Thanks so much for putting them up.

[scrabblehack]

He’s got to be stupid too — why lie about something that could be easily shown false?

General Dean here.....my favourite MOH recipient.

Don't read this book if you have an anger control problem.

[Billthedrill]

An outstanding book. You were kidding, but I had a friend advise me in all seriousness not to read it. It is simply difficult to imagine the degree to which Americans have been taken for a collective ride by deadbeats, phonies, and John Kerry - but I repeat myself.

This particular guy, though - I wonder if anyone thought to ask him what he was doing in '87 that merited a MOH? Was there a combat operation somewhere in the world of which I was unaware?

I think, though, that here we have a classic case of a pathological liar. That would be a fellow who lies where truth would have served perfectly well. It'll take you a long way in politics.

There must be a few other veterans out there who have three Purple Hearts. Some enterprising journo ought to find out how many others managed to earn three PHs without spending a single day in hospital.

skin that FPOS alive... then set his azz on FIRE!!!
