Why are Conservative's crying, and Liberals laughing about our soldier's in Iraq?

Question

Why can a Conservative cry, yet still support our troops, and also do their best to help them to laugh?
Why do Liberals talk dirt about our country, and the soldier's who are giving them that right?

Also, to all service men, and women? Please tell me if this Marine's words in this song, are in your heart, as well? I appreciate your feelings, and thank you.

Song by Mike Corrado, a Marine, who fought in Iraq.

#2 You crack me up. Liberals think it is okay for them to have free speach, not anyone else. Remember Columbia, and American Universities, and the Liberal uneducated students who threw food, other objects at, and screamed so loud, guest speakers Conoleeza Rice, and Karl Rove could not speak, and be heard? Dude, watch the news!

Gee, Barry, you had a lot to say there! LOL Thank you for setting the Libs straight.

Answer 1

I"m sorry...but for the person who said that conservatives were cutting our benefits...while my husband was still overseas fighting....the democrates were the ones saying that we didnt deserve the pay we were getting!! not the republicans!!!! and all soldiers know whats going on...so the bs that the politics are right now..ALL OF THEM..is BS!! neither is better than the other..but the DEMOCRATES. were the ones that wanted to CUT OUR REGULAR PAY AND NOT GIVE US THE EXTRA PAY FOR BEING OVER THERE!!!! And we didn't get that information from the stupid media either!!!!!!

Answer 2

As a Post Commander for the American Legion and a life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars,I see this cr*@ all of the time."Veterans" will approach either organization and ask for a hand out,grant,gas money,etc.Years ago we stopped believing people and now require proof of service.Here's a thought;before news organizations jump on the band wagon and spread the lies these scumbags are spewing,VERIFY YOUR SOURCE!!!!!! Back in the day when journalists actually had a backbone and were concerned with the truth,these fake soldiers wouldn't be given the time of day. The Lib organizations know that they can use these scumbags to spread their lies because chances are that no one will check the story. For any organization to use a lie to sully the reputation of the fighting forces of the United States is morally wrong and repulsive.These same organizations constantly proclaim their "right" to free speech;the same right that is being protected by the Armed Forces of the United States of America.

For the unknowing socialist liberals on here that have no idea what shape the military was in after the Clinton administration had decimated the military for 8 years ! If they went into Iraq ill equipted as you liberals say, then it was because of the 8 years under Clinton that cut the military budget to near extinction.....Bill Clinton's 1st Sec. of Defense , Les Aspin initiated a " bottom-up" review of the post cold war military. His successor, William Perry further reduced the Armed Forces by closing countless military in the U.S. and overseas , capping expenditures , and """emphasizing reservist""". Active duty personnel declined during Clinton's` 1st term from 1.7 million to 1.5 million. William Cohen became Sec. of Defense after Clinton's reelection in 96`.The former Republican Senator from Maine sought to ""maintain"" a 1.4 million active duty force while ""boosting weapons spending"" by 50% , and simultantously keeping the military defense spending at about $255 million.. Clinton and his skeptics declined to support any military spending and predicted ""more troop and procurement cuts"" was the correct thing to do instead !! So, by the year 2000 when Bush took over , you can see that what he had inherited was a shell of a military that had almost been completly been ignored for the 8 previous years. So liberals listen to their socialist Liberal Bias` Media that tells them only one side of a story , and the liberals go down with that side of the story like the Titanic ! The liberals have been indoctrinated by the socialist liberal bias` media !! So not only does Bush inherit a skeleton of a military when he takes office , but he has to try and rebuilt it , and do it after 9/11 ....The blame is not on President Bush for the military ""not having the equipment"" , or being under-manned with a shadow of a military that we should have had , as we always have had until the ""military loathing"" Bill Clinton got hold of it !! All you liberals have to do is check out the history and the facts for yourself. Go on any Bill Clinton web and pull up his history of almost putting our military out of business . !!!!

Answer 4

It's a sad day in America when there is so much division between "conservatives" and "liberals" that virtually every answer to an insipid question is filled with hatred, illogical, bias, and bigotry.
Conservatives believe they're 'supporting our troops' when they support the Bush administration's unconstitutional, illegal, unjustifiable, immoral 'war'.
Liberals believe they're 'supporting our troops' when they support the concept of bringing an end to the war.
The core of the problem is that we SHOULD NOT BE SUPPORTING any political agenda that puts our troops in harm's way for the sake of OIL and WAR PROFITEERING,
which is what this war is all about. Democrats and Republicans both know it - yet neither side of the aisle will come clean and admit that we're killing our soldiers so that a handful of wealthy elitists and industrialists in this nation can get richer and richer and richer.
This 'war' is not - and never has been - about bringing democracy to Iraq, or establishing peace in the Middle East. It's certainly NOT about defending our country against another sovereign nation that in no way threatened, provoked or attacked the United States.
It's all about OIL and WAR PROFITEERING.
If the conservatives and liberals really, truly want to support our troops, why don't they immediately put an end to the construction of America's largest embassy on a 104-acre site in downtown Baghdad overlooking the 'new' puppet Iraqi government installed by the Bush administration?
If they really want to support our troops, why don't they immediately prevent Halliburton from beginning the construction of fourteen (yes - 14) permanent U.S. military bases in Iraq?
They won't because the capitalists who control our government from behind-the-scenes expect the U.S. to maintain a military presence in Iraq for decades, if not generations, until every drop of OIL is sucked out of that nation's sands and U.S. taxpayers have shelled out TRILLIONS in profits to members of the giant U.S. military-industrial complex.

Answer 5

Oh My Gosh -- another ignorant question by someone who doesnt have a clue. Why woudl someone say liberals dont support the troops when its because of democratic oversight that they are finally getting the support they deserve???

If conservative cared so much about our soldiers why have they stripped everything from them...
Shall we get into the war they went into ill equipped?
Shall we not get into how they have not been given the assolute best equipment - because repubs choose to keep their contractors funded vs truly equiping our troops.
VEST, KEVLAR, WEAPONS SYSTEMS, Humvee armour

you show more and more with each question how little you know about the facts of this war.

But continue to try to sound patriotic.
Maybe one day youll convince yourself you are

Answer 6

liberals are for the uneducated, poor (because lack of education), non-free thinking, dumb white, and minorites. liberalism=communsim. we are losing our freedom with welfare and pension deducations and everything. liberals are retards who are taking over this country. wow, i dont stop do i. LIBERALS SUCK. okay im done

Answer 7

liberals do not laugh about our troops there is nothing laughable about our troops being there fighting not for our freedoms as the conservatives would like to have you believe but our desire for cheap oil keeps them there, how can you fight for our freedom when you are there supposedly fighting for someone else's freedom and they should be crying for there is a terrible act committed when you put someone in harm's way and would not have your sons and daughters there

Answer 8

Who is giving everyone the right to express their opinions? The Constitution, and every person in the US defending that constitution.

Your generalizations are biased, but you are completely entitled to express them. Just like the people who disagree with you are entitled to express their opinions. And you have liberals to thank for your ability to express opinions, since liberals are the strongest advocates for free speech.

Supporting our troops has nothing to do with trying to suppress opinions you don't like. And given that your military has for generations fought and died to protect everyone's right to free speech, remember that as well as you honor the troops. And think about whether you want to dishonor them by slandering the freedoms they fought for.

Answer 9

Conservatives support our troops? That's intersting. So the definition of "support" is ignoring their funerals, nickel and diming them on equipment, giving them shoddy medical treatment, and cutting their benefits?

Answer 10

Bushit' minion:

Other way around: Liberals care so deeply about the soldier's welfare, they are trying to bring them home NOW.

Conservatives are just glad they don't have to personally fight this war, they are incredibly glad soldiers are doing their own bidding.

Peace
