Comments on: Obama’s Macaca Moment http://www.intellectualconservative.com/2008/09/12/obama%e2%80%99s-macaca-moment/ Conservative and Libertarian Intellectual Philosophy and Politics Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:00:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: wayubi http://www.intellectualconservative.com/2008/09/12/obama%e2%80%99s-macaca-moment/comment-page-1/#comment-74033 wayubi Fri, 26 Sep 2008 22:36:34 +0000 http://www.intellectualconservative.com/2008/09/12/obama%e2%80%99s-macaca-moment/#comment-74033 "The only time a soldier is truly appreciated by them is when their own ass is directly on the line. Then, as soon as the moment passes, they forget everything you've done for them.

You're a bright guy, I'm sure you're aware with all the discrepancies of the accusations. Yet even with these discrepancies, you dishonor a veteran. Good job Phil. http://www.factcheck.org/article231.html "McCain : I think the ad is dishonest and dishonorable. As it is none of these individuals served on the boat (Kerry) commanded. Many of his crewmates have testified to his courage under fire. I think John Kerry served honorably in Vietnam." "Kerry was made a national laughing stock because his peers called him out and put a lie to his war heroics claim. There’s no defense against the truth, and his candidacy was doomed from that point." -- Thank you for your service Last Angry Man, however I hope you're aware that your service record is being used as a political tool for gain by the various sides. If you were a liberal veteran, this exact crowd would question whether you actually even served. “The only time a soldier is truly appreciated by them is when their own ass is directly on the line.

But we don’t.

take care, Phil”

I should be at work today (this is my Friday), but as with a lot of us, I have a few disabling conditions that sideline me once in a while. *Ouch* Why, that’s quite good of you, Mickey, and thank you.

If so I will post it and a story about the shelter on our VFW blog site. This is one of the rare cases where the responses are more important that the article itself. Regarding the foreign policy comments seems to me a state governor (that is governor Palin to those refusing to use the correct honorific) that will need to deal with two adjoining countries may just have some actual experience. Further she actually attends her meetings. I am still somewhat amazed that the media attempts to counterfeit experience for Obama where the information is actually aviailable to dispute their claims. Bad research does not cover this situation. Maybe Goebels has reincarnated to carry his theories that if you say something enough times people believe it. Certainly the Obama supporters seem to prove his theory. LAM, does your shelter have a link? If so I will post it and a story about the shelter on our VFW blog site.

No police officer, firefighter, or member of our armed forces will ever pay for their own tank of gas, or their own lunch whenever I am around.

We share the same values, the same belief-systems. We are really the same, merely separated by Geography. I like that description, btw. It rings so true... Btw, at the Veteran's Shelter I work at, we today took in a new Veteran. Early 20's, Marine, Afghanistan, Combat Action Ribbon, Purple Heart. The real deal. That this guy became hmeless just a month after ETS tells me oodles about how our Liberal world looks at such people. I am so disgusted with this, I could Puke.
