LIBERAL DEMOCRATS: Is Their Concern for Our Soliders Genuine, or Viet Nam-like Dissension All Over Again?

Question

Since when do Democrats care about Republican soliders? The Libs aren't serving in our armed forces. http://www.militarycity.com/polls/2003_chart2.php

Answer 1

Jesse! You got it, Angel! Nail-on-the-head! Take the rest of the day, off! You've earned your Star. Give yourself the 10 Points. Loved it!

Answer 2

Liberals are self loathing creatures.

That explains a lot of what they do that makes no sense.

Liberals are the new fascist Nazi's.

They can't tolerate any opinion different than their's.

Look what they do to college speakers. They throw urine, pies, pull fire alarms, start fights, etc etc, to keep conservative's from speaking.

They want to pass laws to eliminate talk radio.

Liberals are intolerant, bigoted fascists, incapable of allowing free speech.

Islamicfascists have pledged to murder you and me.

Liberals want to help them.

Conservatives want to fight them.

Liberalism is ok when it is practiced.

But todays America's liberals, are not real liberals.

They are against change of all types and devoid of new idea's or solutions to problems.

Conservatives offered many new programs and initiatives the last 6 years, and liberals always fought against them, with never an original idea or solution to offer in return.


Liberals love it whan a woman murders a child that is unborn but hate it when criminals who rape, murder and commit attrocities get the death penality.

In reality the liberals of today are Stalinists and Marxists. Their belief that government is the solution to all problems and no wealth should be privately owned is what drives todays liberals.

They are also anti-American. They believe America is the worlds problem and the world would be better off without America in it.

Liberals are all for forsaking the poor weak and downtrodden if America's military is involved in keeping them alive, but insist on keeping America's poor weak and downtrodden in their miserable existance because of 'political correctness', (New Orleans and any urban city).

Answer 3

If 60% of the military workers are republicans and in effortless words 7% are liberals, what are some thing? i'm someone that you would likely evaluate a liberal (some thing tells me that you would evaluate absolutely everyone left of Attila the Hun a liberal) and that i served 6 years interior america Marine Corps at the same time as you've been at residing house playing video games. I observe that the conservative draft dodgers like G Dumbya deliver our troops to wrestle and die with callous dismiss for the realities of the topic because they have not been there. perhaps you should pass to Iraq for a year and a nil.5.

Answer 4

I tried to serve in the Army right after 9/11 but a month before I shipped out i was hit by a drunk driver and dislocated my hip, broke my leg and ****** up my ribs. some of us want to serve. but I wouldn't serve now, the war in iraq was started because of lies. If Bush told the truth than I would probably serve I just don't like being lied to. but then again I'm not a liberal. I have conservative and liberal views just depends on the issues.

Liberal you forgot a quote
Dissent is the highest form of patriotism- Thomas Jefferson

Answer 5

Concern for the troops is NON partisan. The Bush administration uses rhetoric. All talk and no action. If indeed they support the troops what is all this about the treatment of the wounded at Walter Reed? Why reduce the veterans' budget? Why reup umpteen times and send fatiqued troops on additional duty over and over again? You call that support? Only in speeches.

Answer 6

Yes, Liberal concern for the pointless deaths of soldiers, and anyone else, is genuine.

And there's 14% fewer Republicans in the military today than two years ago. I think we'll see that trend continue.

"In the 2004 poll, the percentage of military respondents who characterized themselves as Republicans stood at 60%. By the end of 2005, that had dropped to 56%. And by the end of 2006, the percentage of military Republicans plummeted to 46%."

Answer 7

I care tons about our soldiers. I cared about my four friends that died over there, I care about my three other friends that are there right now. I cared when they told me to make sure that me and everybody i knew voted straight democratic ticket in November. Not all soldiers are are republicans. I care about all the soldiers. I care so much that I want to get them out of that hellhole called Iraq ASAP. Don;t you dare ever suggest that I do not or ever did care about the soldiers in IRaq. Maybe if it weren't for lies, I never would have had to attend funerals for soldiers coming back.

Answer 8

you say this like we (U.S.) actually gained something by being in Viet Nam. it is not un-patriotic to speak up against your government when you see them making mistakes.

To be a patriot, one had to say, and keep on saying, ” Our country, right or wrong,” and urge on the little war. Have you not perceived that that phrase is an insult to the nation.
-- Mark Twain, Glances at History

"Historical data show a strong correlation between U.S. involvement in international situations and an increase in terrorist attacks against the United States. In addition, the military asymmetry that denies nation states the ability to engage in overt attacks against the United States drives the use of transnational actors [that is, terrorists from one country attacking in another]."
--Defense Science Board, 1997 report to the DoD

"The voice of protest, of warning, of appeal is never more needed than when the clamor of fife and drum, echoed by the press and too often by the pulpit, is bidding all men fall in and keep step and obey in silence the tyrannous word of command. Then, more than ever, it is the duty of the good citizen not to be silent."
-- Charles Eliot Norton

just because one "protests" a "goal-less" war and the bilking of the american taxpayer doesn't mean that you don't support your troops. Jesus christ! frickin Bill Gates had to go to Canada to get government backing of one of his Aids projects. get your head out of the sand and quit being so obnoxious! you sound like a 16 year old...

Answer 9

How can you legitimately question our concern for the soldiers, when it's your war that getting them killed ?
