Well, I think she was correct in her assessment of some areas. I live in a heavily Democrat area. You wouldn't believe how anti-America people can be. The Democrats have done a great job of indoctrinating them in socialism, anti-war, anti-military. I know what she was talking about, and she need not apologize for the comment.
So anti-war makes someone un-American?
News flash...we just privatized the profits and Socailized the debt thanks to The Bush Crime Family and cronies.
Bringing soldiers home form an illegal occupation is ant-military?
A person joins the military presumably to defend his country in time of war, if he is called to do so. The Commander in Chief decides when, where, and why so send troops to war.
The attack on our country on 9/11 was an act of war. A response was called for. No longer could the United States do nothing (such as we had after the attack on the USS Cole). Such a horrific attack as 9/11 required a large scale response; thus the plans to not only go after the enemy in Afghanistan, where it was presumed Bin Laden resided, but to go after our enemies wherever they may be given refuge (and I remember Bush spelling this out clearly well before the war began).
The wisdom of going into Iraq is clear. Saddam was a threat, always had been, he had the capability of harming his neighbors, and had already attacked them previously (Kuwait). It would have been folly to leave him in power where he could assist our enemies (and I believe he would have — Saddam was no friend of America).
No one has "misused and abused" our military. Their job is to go where they are sent and carry out their orders to the best of their ability. The war on terror is just, it is right, and it is not "illegal" as some claim. We have the right to defend our country.
Haliburton. Why do you people love to mention Haliburton, a services company, that has more knowledge than any other company in the oil services business. It is understandable that Haliburton would be the company of choice in the rebuilding of the Iraq oil fields.
You might do well to drop the cliches which you lefties throw out continually and actually think for once. But I don't think anyone on the left is capable of original thought.
Every one of your points can be knocked down and torn to shreds by any intelliigent 5th grader. Since you don't realize this by now, I will assume that you will never get it.

And, bin laden was once georgie's friend, and his friends were flown out of the US immediately, while no other planes were flying. Abuse of military, you bet george did, he invaded Iraq, and oh, saddam used to be an ally to the US too. the war on terror? maybe george shouldn't have made his friends and allies mad, and bin laden would have left us alone. seems as if, the bush foreign policy is flawed. we had these terrorists as allies, and now, we're trying to hunt them down and kill them, before they try to kill us, why? what's wrong with this picture? maybe we shouldn't be meddling in other nation's policies or politics? you're a smart person, figure it out. and I know, everything us left wingers do or say, we get the blame for. maybe it's because we're thinkers? whereas, the right are, shall I say, followers of the right-wing cult, and believe in lies and propagana? who is the next boogieman?

a very subtle way of saying i like loyal people that do not question my actions, ever.

What nonsenseguy doesn't get is that it the duty of an enlisted person to honor that long forgotten piece of paper called The Constitution first and foremost. There have been more soldiers going AWOL in this illegal war than possibly any other time in our histroy. It was their duty to not follow an order if they felt that it was going against The Constitution.
Maybe he should rent "A Few Good Men" to see how this is supposed to play out when you are given orders by a madman or corrupted, self-serving, egotistical jerk.
Do you think that you have more of a right to vote for our country's leaders than those "ignoramouses" to whom you so eloquently referred, even though said "ignoramouses" also have to live and work here, and abide by the same laws as you?
That's not very American of you, is it?
Absolutely not! Every American has the same right. I didnt need any special program to understand that when I turned 18, I had the privalege of going out placing my vote and taking part in the political process. If someone is not motivated or bright enough on their own to understand that then it is probably a good thing they are not voting!
More stupid statements. anti-Americans are democrats? how old are you? 5? you sure sound like it.

Need I go on? No, I don't see you as anti-American at all. But there damn sure are a lot of people out there who are, and they vote DEMOCRAT most of the time.
Not only that, he thinks democrats are anti-American, LET THE WITCH HUNT BEGIN!
