“I’ve been here longer that you, Red. Sell your sanctimonious bilge for your fellow sheep. I’m sure they are more than willing to lap it up. Pinging the list of e-thugs doesn’t silence me about the FRAUD you’re pushing here.
I have family on the Wall...served while your candidate was getting “medical†deferments to avoid it and compared his “prep school playboy†years to their sacrifice.”
First of all, her husband served in Vietnam and he is now no longer with us, so she too has “family on the wall,” as do I.
Secondly, what she shares here isn’t “BILGE” just because it doesn’t comport with your view. It is also NOT FRAUD to make comments here, and those of us who do not share your view of things are not “SHEEP!”
Lastly, while I think that having good moral values (like most Christians), helps one to decide whom to support, it isn’t a “litmus test” for a lot of voters. We are looking to elect a leader for our country, not a Pope, Pastor, Rabbi, etc.
You would do well, as a Christian, to show your Christian values in the way that you speak to the rest of us. Right now, in my view you aren’t doing very well in that regard. Why not try a little humility. You get more with a lump of sugar than you do with a club!
Sorry for your loss. My uncle and his best friend were KIA, both died while saving others. I know several others who’s lives were never the same because of Kennedy and Johnson’s mishandling of the war, but I don’t call them warmongers or would join Hanoi Jane in trying them for “war crimes” as a Trump supporter recently spammed to me the other day.
I take their service and sacrifice very seriously. I do not take kindly to some snobbish elitist saying ‘someone is not being a hero because they were captured’ and endured years of torture and abuse. There are many differences with McCain politically, but that was absolutely horrendous. As were his repeated “medical†deferments, comparing his prep school to military service, “Bush should be impeached for Iraqâ€, “I support heroes who were not capturedâ€, and keeping the veteran out of his neighborhood.
I see through the thin veneer that is Donald Trump’s military support and offensive use of veterans as campaign props. Sorry if you chose to take anything critical of your candidate as a personal slight.
