While there are a large number of vets that deserve respect, I disagree that all vets are entitled to respect.

Also, if this country is already a rotting turd, don't blame "this sh!thead", you can blame the one you probably voted for both times over the last two elections. If it weren't for Bush, we wouldn't have over 3000 soldiers dead in Iraq.
Ya a knee jerk reaction on my part for sure.It was meant to inflame and that was the intent,I admit that and then some but I've earned that right.

But...

...how you read into my response that "sh!thead" was evenly slightly responsible for any dead soldiers in Iraq is beyond me.

Obama's definitely responsible(as a senator along with Sen.Frank) for the financial mess we're in.


Btw the US casualties are well over 4200.

Please think before you post.

Obama's tenure in the Senate is so short you can't really assign much if any responsibility of the problem to him. Frank does get some but there's plenty of blame to go around. It's a failure of our Government, not of one particular party.

Obama though, does now "own" the problem.

A valid point, though neither you nor I will be known for success or failure by historians.

I always think before I post. Probably the reason why my posts contain facts and flaming is mostly absent from them.

I also fail to see how you've "earned" the right to be condescending.

Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black to me.
