I find it interesting that this Administration is quick to label people that don't agree with them.........but they seem to only be giving lip-service regarding all our troops.......just my thoughts......

[ekim68]

You know, I think this admin has had the least amount of information for the most amount of talk. And, the fact that they have continuously made up excuses for everything they've done is a 'press' well done...

Many liberals I've met wouldn't dare "support their police" in the same manner they "support their troops" - "Yeah, they're good people, but every thing they're doing is wrong, bad, immoral, illegal, genocidal and they should be moved to a different nation entirely"

Are you saying I'm a liberal?

Why? Did that description sound like you?

[ekim68]

Not after looking at it....Maybe I'll be liberal some other time...

To the right supporting the troops means blindly listening to whatever the adminstration tells us vis a vis Iraq---It means never questioning authority, ie. Generals, Politicians etc. It means putting out your flag on Memorial Day and listening to Fox News.

Sorry, ekim, but this combination of posts is still one of the most hilarious things I've ever read.

You'll notice the difference between "the right" - that's me(in this case), and one of "many liberals I've met" - linsky. Linsky takes it upon himself to proclaim that "the right" all think in the same way and all "blindly" listen to "whatever the adminstration tells us vis a vis Iraq".

So, in this particular conversation you can easily see who likes to make blanket statements about his political opposition without regard to their individual differences. You really should try to do a better job representing "the left", linsky.

My definition of supporting the troops is: The military should be well trained, well paid, with excellent health care and benefits for them and their families. They should be well-equipped to do the job. We should have enough military so that if we have a war they can be rotated on a regular basis. And last but not least, any war our government places these people in should be an honest war, not a trumped up one.

Hey Bandit, no reason to say you're sorry to me....I agree, I'm having a good laugh...We all should.....(Actually I just got some extra chuckles because my grandkids gave the computer back to me....It's a tough life....) But, I've always thought you to be more objective...The matter isn't always inclusion. Okay, I'm a liberal....

You do----You never question the government and make foolish statements about liberals and the police. Then again, coming from where you came from, I can understand the need to have some authoritarian figure telling you what to do.

Right, Left, Center...who cares! The bottom line is what do they DO. Not say they are going to do, not say what they should do nor what they should not have done. The truth is that the troops are the expendable of the nation in many an administration past and obviously the present one.
Look at the Health care scandal. Politicians are surprised by all of this even though they have gotten reports about it for over 30 years. look at what Vietnam war hero Ron Kovic (Born on the fourth of July) went through in VA hospitals in the 70's.
Today returning troops are being slapped up and sent back to their homes where continued care & rehab are virtually non-existent. Let's not talk about the lack of mental health care. Wait until there are so many people on the streets with PTSD that terrorists will be able to retire & watch us kill ourselves.

You support the police? What a shock! According to Bandit, liberals don't support the police. I guess I had better take back my PBA donation!

[johnnyburst79]

Not a fan of the police at all. Where I am, they are more concerned with frightening the general public into not breaking the law than arresting drug dealers, murderers, and upholding the law. Besides the hypocritical attitude, their sense of superiority to me is disgusting. I will not support the police.

The military is a different matter. They support this country in a far better manner, protecting it from foreign threats and exercising our strength overseas. Given, it is not always right, but the military is under the civilian command. They chose to serve honorably and therefore deserve respect from all citizens of the US. Whatever your feelings on them, they will stand up for you no matter what.
