Sometimes I truly wonder what is wrong with the Democratic Party that they would intentionaly disenfranchise the very people who are protecting their right to do that!

Oh, there is something wrong with them all right. I guess we could all begin to list the ways, but we would be typing all day.

Many Liberals hate the military out of their own guilt and cowardice. I am convinced of this.

When I heard Clinton's "I'll grab a rifle, jump in a ditch and fight for Israel" comment, he reminded me of my old neighbor in Virginia.

I told the story on the Sunday Talk thread a while back, but here it is again: A bunch of us in the neighborhood were having a beer one Sunday after mowing our lawns. Four of us homeowners were chewing the fat--all of us vets, except the ex-hippy next door.

My neighbor down the street started telling a story of how he flew off aircraft carriers during the Korean War, and made crack about my neighbor (he did this because the ex-hippy was making faces and rolling his eyes).

I forget the ribbing the Korean vet gave the ex-hippy, but he struck a raw nerve. The ex-hippy chugged his beer, got all red-faced and said: "You know, it took a lot more guts for me to go to Cananda and stick with my principles fella!"

Scaredy Cats often see themselves differently then WE do.

I hope all of you roundly told your ex-hippy neighbor to take a hike! What a bunch of bull pucky. The only thing most of those 'runners' to Canada had in their veins was an influx of adrenaline spawned by their cowardly fear. Courage my tush!
