K&R

Thank you!

Well I was anyway but still, hey you in St Louis Matt and got a Giants logo in here !! More power to you. Great post, thank you.

Need a win tonight or I think we might be in too much trouble to come back against a good Cards team.

Right back in it after tonight if they get this one.

I get tired of hearing how he has no problem taking us to war while he has never cared to make the sacrifice himself and certainly didn't care about sending others in his place.

on how much money he, personally can make, then on how much he can make for his pals, the 1%.

We make a big mistake when we misunderstand what Romney is all about. He is no patriot. Never has been, and never will be.

offshoot the costs of war? What bizarro-land does the GOP live in thinking it would be a good idea to lower the amount of money coming in to the Fed Gov at the time when you will be spending it the most? Besides, the rich have more to lose, they should pay more for wars. A LOT More.

Most of those who decry socialism are the ones who would benefit the most from some sort of socialism.

I think many people think:

Socialism = Communism

Communism = Evil

Therefore, socialism is evil. :sigh:

...in the societies of virtually every country in the world.

It might drive them to suicide.

Hey, that's a great idea!! Let's TELL them!

Beating the war drums always raises tensions ..and gas prices. The GOP then blames the high gas prices on Obama of course.

They preach individualism, privatization, and "personalization" but act like sheeple. Or is it sheeples?

with war crimes ...along with his crime syndicate buddies ...and then go after the banksters ...then when that's all done go after justices who favor political parties and corporations. Wake me up when that happens.

What a kick ass post. My dad threatened to break both my legs if I enlisted. And he could have. Damn Nam Vet, he swore I'd never experience what he had.

The wife's dad cussed out every recruiter who called.

I don't begrudge anyone for deciding not to serve and I wouldn't push my children toward that life at all these days. I do get tired of these assholes trying to tell me what constitutes respect toward, or support of, the troops when not a damn one of them would make a sacrifice for that in which they believe.

Your compaison of sacrifice in the service of war is not considered socialism.

I agree that those who bang the drums for war should be the first to send themselves and their children. Now - they depend upon the fact that there are so many without options for the future they can count on recruits. They have even learned to accept people who are not citizens of this country but hate them for their nationalities and religions anyway.

I wish there was a way to hold people accountable for their votes. Some voters get a thrill out of saber rattling and war talk and think that makes them more American. They need to be helddirectly responsible for the carnage their candidate wreaks upon the world.

I love your post.

Really good post.
