Just a little truth in advertising in this post. Congressmen Rangel did serve in the US Army from 1948 to 1952, earning a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star in the Korean War. I would call that work, as I was in the military for a little while and wasn’t necessarily a cake walk.

This time served in the military though does not give him the right to take advantage of the American taxpayer and flaunt and break the laws of this country. He should step aside until the investigations are complete.

Murtha and Kerry served too, that was then, this is now. We all thank them for their service. It’s what they have become and the power they wield over the public that should be front and center in TODAY’S America.

Ok, so he got a couple of medals about 60 years ago.

Then there’s this kind of asinine and scheming political behavior, to the detriment of our own troops!!

He’s a socialist pig with his snout shoved firmly into the trough.

“”Congressmen Rangel did serve in the US Army from 1948 to 1952, earning a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star in the Korean War.””

And last week when he was trying to justify his actions related to his recent troubles, he said when he got out of the Army there weren’t any jobs for him so he went to college to “learn” how to be a Congressman. Have no idea where that college might be! I swear he didn’t even blink when he said it.
