You are historically correct; however, the fact remains, each of the aforementioned is still a chickenhawk -- not a one has ever been in harm&#039;s way, the fog of war wherein lies all sorts of bad news.

		<description>&quot;There is now not a single person in the bush administration who served the USA in any way, shape, or form&quot;

That is incorrect, George. Donald Rumsfeld was a naval aviator. G.W. was a pilot in the TX air national guard. Alberto Gonzales served in the Air force.</description>

		<description>The rich send the poor to fight their wars, and in this case, the poorest section ate it up. I think it was the patriotic card Bush played. The

		<description>I just read a grest post by a young soldier in Irag at another blogsite. He summed-uped his lessons from the front with his final observation from the field and the men and women he fights with,

...&quot; republicans don,t volunteer...&quot;

I would say that not only includes the war effort but pretty much any other socially responsible program that comes down the pike. Compassionate Convervative is just a spin talking point and ultimately another lie.</description>

		<description>Come on guys,
You know it&#039;s got to take alot out of you to be that hypocritical, and willfully ignorant.  Its a constant war on the truth.  Its got to be tiring always walking around humming with your fingers in your ears and your eyes closed.

I just dont understand their apprehension to serving in the greatest war started by their great and glorious leader.  

Tell them to come meet me in Germany and I&#039;ll enlist them.  Heck, I coming to the states for a couple weeks of Leave they can meet me anywhere in Indiana and I would be proud to give them the oath of enlistment.

I&#039;d just like to see some of these chickenhawk sons of bitches put their money where their mouth is.  They&#039;re out there impugning the integrity of my political philosophy&#039;s patriotism, while I prepare to fight the war that we were lied into.  What a bunch of whining chickenshit hypocrites.

I wish I would have beat the shit out of some of them while I was in college.</description>

		<description>My direct ancestors offed enough limeys to create what is now the USA.

     And then, my direct ancestors offed enough more limeys in the war of 1812  to forever sustain democracy in the USA.

     Or so they thought.

     Now we have a bush administration that is dedicated only to trashing everything that our founding fathers fought for.

     If you voted for bush, you are a traitor against the USA.

     As a genetic patriot, I enlisted in the USA military, and I have discharge papers to prove that I was honorably discharged.

     There is now not a single person in the bush administration who served the USA in any way, shape, or form.

     There are two definitions of &quot;Chickenhawk&quot; and there is no doubt whatsoever that EVERYONE in the bush administration complies with both definitions.

     Be warned- USA Patriots are a force that bush cannot pervert to match bush&#039;s own perversion.

		<description>So Skidmarks, is anyone who disagrees with you &quot;ignorant&quot;? The Democrats need a new strategy, because when you attempt to label anyone who disagrees with you as &quot;ignorant&quot;, you only alienate them further, and do more harm to your own cause. 

I can&#039;t believe how loyal some of you sheep are to the Democratic party. They are a bunch of crooks, just like the Republicans, and they don&#039;t give a shit about the common man either. 

I doubt that this country has ever been so badly in need of another viable political party as it is now. There are some better choices than the Dems or Repubs right now (i.e. Libertarian), but most people are either voting &quot;lesser of two evils&quot; because they don&#039;t want to &quot;waste&quot; their vote and allow the worst guy in, or else they are just sheep like you who are incapable of being  free-thinkers. And many are just morons who vote the way that their union or their preacher tells them to, or the way that their father did.</description>

		<description>the college republicans don&#039;t join the military because it makes too obvious their lockstep mentality.  the uniform and all, you know.

however, they CAN still support bush-the-deserter and his illegal war AND feed their other all consuming illness:  greed.  become a private military contractor in iraq.  those are really safe jobs in the rear echelons.  they support the war and make LOTS of money.

they don&#039;t have any life-threatening worries.  oh, weren&#039;t 4 contractors killed, mutiliated, burned and hung from a bridge? oh, that drive from baghdad to its airport can be dangerous, but only if you&#039;re an italian journalist speaking truth to power.  no worries on THAT score with young college republicans.

yellow elephants!  what an image!</description>

		<description>Sorry, but I think the term is &quot;ignorant&quot; rather than &quot;rural&quot;. Now before we get defensive over the use of the word &quot;ignorant&quot;, realize what the word truly means. It&#039;s a sad word actually.</description>

		<description>And how did Bushie show his appreciation for these &quot;distressed rural area&#039;s&quot;?

I could swear I heard that the farmers are upset with Bushie because he wants to cut agriculture grants...

Hmmm....I think I&#039;d rather be ignored.</description>

		<description>Mtruc,
 I think they are talking about college campuses and as many know that is not the &quot;real world&quot;.


 in reply to the comment:

 It could also be that the, &quot;distressed rural areas&quot; bought the &quot;value&quot; lies peddled by the Republican campaign. I doubt whether these areas will be any better off after 8 years of this B.S. Just people switching camps, hoping for  something better. I feel for them.</description>

		<description>What many of my fellow Democrats don&#039;t get is that some of the strongest Bush vote came from some of the most distressed rural areas areas of the country, such as the Western Plains.  

Look at map of the U.S. countries with shrinking population and then look at a map of the counties with the strongest Bush vote.  They look the same.    Many Bush votes came from rural people angry that they feel they have been left behind.  Clinton mostly ignored them.   

When Dems figure this out they will get the White House and Congress back.  Until then we better get used to being the minority.

Can you guess I came from the Plains myself?
I got out.  Many pople back there wish they could too, but won&#039;t admit it.   

Western MN, SD, ND, NE, WY, IA, KS are all full of shrinking towns.  It&#039;s sad.  The states I just listed have 14 senators.   That&#039;s a lot of power.   I came from a rural farmer area (formerly very Democratic but now Republican) with the majority of farm households having some current or former connection to the military.    The moderate Republican suburban area in PA I live in now has very few veterans by percentage but voted heavily for Kerry.    huh? Go figure.</description>

		<description>In response to Fred,
I think kids join groups to &quot;fit in&quot;.  These young repuglycans lack the social skills needed to belong to diverse groups so they join the most narrow minded.</description>
