and to add another thing........Reagan didn't serve in WW2 and conservatives picked him over HW Bush a WW 2 veteran............W Bush didn't serve in Vietnam and conservatives picked him over John Mccain a Vietnam Veteran.......Trump didn't serve and conservatives picked him 2016.






so your myth that conservatives are the way you are describing is not true.....there are a lot of factors why conservatives vote and serving in Vietnam is not even the top 10 list.

reminds me of the wives of the 9/11 victims when they got political and pushed a political agenda and supported and campaigned for John Kerry for President.....nobody could challenge them because that would be going after their dead husbands and attacking their grief.....what a joke!







so far Trump isn't a warmonger President starting WW 3 or wanting endless military interventions like John Mccain or Hillary Clinton...on that front, Trump is a better leader than Crazy Mccain......you know how many countries Mccain wanted military intervention? 15 from the top of my head, I can find more if I research. If Trump was that type of war monger and blood thirsty for wars you all be crucifying him.
Yep. I am extremely saddened for the Khan family for this loss and honor them and others in their situation every day by trying to live my life in a meaningful way. That said, if you willingly jump into the political arena by attacking an opposition candidate, you cannot then hide behind your status as a Gold Star family to not get attacked back. Once you enter the political arena, you are fair game. Period.

Khan was fair game...he let the Clinton campaign used him at the Democrat convention on national tv to bash Trump on foreign policy when it was Hillary Clinton that voted to authorize the war based on lies, errr, faulty intel where their son died....If I had a son that died on a war that we didn't need to be there and was sold on lies, then I would have issues with the people that voted for the war and I wouldn't be campaigning for them for President, especially for a war hawk candidate like Hillary.





Khan can't hide by his son's death when he decided to be political and jumped on the political arena to bash Trump and campaign for Hillary Clinton then he was fair game for Trump to defend himself from his attacks.


I actually find low for the Clinton campaign to use the father of a dead soldier for cheap political points.

2. It is not clear how you can be against proudly advocating for American interests (nationalism) while supporting open borders and multilateral agreements and institutions which have been achieved at America's detriment (globalism), and also celebrate people openly denigrating our flag and our national anthem on our home soil, while claiming to not be against our country, and not be a liar.

3. It is not clear how you can make racism your most central motivating principle, while indiscriminately projecting your own vindictiveness and racism onto people for daring to oppose you politically, while insisting that you are not a racist, and not be a liar.

Senator McCain was was faithful on these three counts, although he was a little shaky with regards to the multinational agreements at times. In any case, he will be missed. That being said, thankfully this week has now been successfully concluded.
How can you call anybody a liar with Trump in the White House. He is the biggest liar of them all, I mean where do I start with lies he have told.

LOL, I know, right? They should never call anybody that as long as Trump is in the White House.

Please tell Mr. Trump this nugget of information because he seemed to think that no one, NO ONE has the right to call him out for his lies and his disgusting rhetorict. He doesn't debate political ideas in the political arena, he insults and name-calls.

so Mccain is a hero because he got caught? if he didn't get caught he is not a hero?....what are the standards here for being a hero?...everybody that went to Nam is a hero?

Go tell that to all those powerful veterans groups, that strongly urged Trump to lower those flags, and he did. Go pick a fight with all of them, then come back and tell us how did that go.

why should I pick a fight with them? maybe Trump should have kneel to the flag to show his true feelings about Mccain's record since that is accepted on the left as patriotic.
