"BTW, most of the troops fighting and dying for you in Iraq are recruited from the bottom 20% of the population which you call 'LAZY' freeloaders. This is how you honor the soldiers!!! SHAME ON YOU."
"CBS used questionable documents. But the story itself was never in doubt. There are DOD records and numerous witnesses which prove that:
1. Dubya got into the Texas Air National Guard (ahead of hundreds of other rich kids waiting on line) through his daddy's connections. It helped him save his miserable skin from the War which his family supported. He didn't even fulfill his commitments to the Champaign unit. He was AWOL in 1972-1973.
2. Cheney had 'other priorities' than to serve his country and got 5 deferments.
3. On the other hand, Kerry volunteered for active duty. He risked his life and limb for our Country. He is a War Hero."
"Bush's bringing religion into the presidency is:
1. Unconstitutional 2. Is used to manipulate people in support of the most ungodly agenda"
Val: Well done, as usual!
Richard4878: If the swastika fits, WEAR IT!!
The problem with your argument is that you ignorantly and unwittingly lumped everyone in that lower 70% into one big group of lazy freeloaders, including those whose sons and daughters are fighting Bush's make-believe war in Iraq. Once again proving the ignorant, racist, socio-economic biased, and prejudiced rhetoric and generalizations driving the right wing and which they try to use to divide and conquer.
Only after Val points out their military service do you try to back peddle and give them your gracious blessing, and exemption from all of the other racism and ignorance you spout, which I can tell you first hand, they don't want or need! How BIG of you to acknowledge their service and sacrifice, AFTER you call them and their parents, families, and friends, lazy freeloaders!
'All THOSE PEOPLE are lazy freeloaders!'
'Oh yeah, except those of you who are serving our country. Sorry, I forgot about you, until some liberal reminded me.'
"These people took the initiative to do something with their life, most will go to school and recieve wonderful pensions when they come back."
Those that COME BACK! Those that are not MAIMED! And as for their pensions, I just got SLAMMED for getting a government pension after I serve the people of the State of CT for 20 years in a hazardous duty position, what's to prevent you all from turning around and begrudging them theirs as well??
"Why do I want to help them?"
"...why should I give a damn about those people?"
"Children, the old, the sick absolutely."
Guess what? 'Those people' have children, elderly, and sick! The problem with the right is that you all continue to PUNISH THEIR CHILDREN for the sins of the parents, thus perpetuating the cycle!!
Wake up!! Helping them will ultimately help us all, maybe not in our lifetimes, maybe not in our children's, it may take a few generations to bear fruit, but you have to plant the seed!!!
Why can't any of you get this through your thick, greedy, selfish, short sighted, heads!!!
