Comments on: Bush Honors Fallen On Memorial Day

Dem. Response: Best Way To Honor Troops Is To End Role In Iraq's Civil War

[antoniof123]

Happy Memorial Day everyone. I wish it was to say that there will be no more deaths out of Iraq. But we know the truth, until they can no longer handle the polls droping on their greedy lives.

The Republican congress will lock step and keep staying the course. You can not except the Dems to be able to override the veto if they don't have the votes to do so.

I believe that it is the 23% who say they are no longer going to vote or that this is a do nothing congress. In fact they have done more in just a few short months they the last 12 years of Republican congress.

The only reason why the first 6 years of Republican congress completed anything was because Bill Clinton forced them to do it. We see now what happens when you give power to the Republican NOTHING GOOD.

Have a Happy Memorial Day everyone!

(AP) "President Bush urged Americans to use Memorial Day to rededicate themselves to fighting for freedom around the world and pray for the safety of U.S. troops serving overseas."

This is obscene and I am deeply offended. We need to rededicate ourselves to fighting for freedom here in the United States. We wouldn't need to pray for the safety of U.S. troops serving overseas if Bush would simply bring them home - like the majority of the voters want.

With the track record of the Democrats who came in with majorities in November, I have realized that my vote does not count. I have voted all my life, but I will never vote again. It simply doesn't matter what is promised, once they are in office they are too busy scrambling for wealth to honor promises.

I will always have great pity for the families of those "fallen" women and men. However, nothing but disgust for our FALLEN President. He is a war mongering, money-loving, souless piece of ***.
This is true this Memorial Day weekend and always!

Memorial Day honors what WAS good in America.
So much of REAL American life and traditions has evaporated. Respect for mothers, concern for children, fathers that took responsibility rather than desert when a "better Model" came along.
Companies that stood by their employees and voluntarily paid a fair wage for labor.
The days that a CEO earned maybe 5 to 40 times his employees Not 300 or more times as many do now.
A government that broke up monopolies rather than hand them even more power.
A government that believed in DIPLOMACY rather than ILL-CONSIDERED PREEMPTIVE WAR to accomplish goals FOR THE GOOD OF THE NATION, not just the vile self serving URGES OF a wealthy elite and selected war profiteers
Presidents that actually believed in the Constitution rather than referring to it as a "G*D D****D Piece of Paper".
GREED, power lust and corporate irresponsibility will be the downfall of this nation.

From Wiki's description of Fascism:
Benito Mussolini claimed to have been the founder of fascism. Italian fascism (in Italian, fascismo) was the authoritarian political movement which ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943 under Mussolini's leadership. Fascism in Italy combined elements of corporatism, totalitarianism, nationalism, militarism, and anti-Communism. Fascism won support as an alternative to the unpopular Liberalism of the time. It also won support of Italians who were anti socialist.

Why does this last description sound SO FAMILIAR THE LAST 6 YEARS????

That Bush even utters the word veteran makes me sick. He spent his "military time" chained to a beer keg. Bush prolongs the war in Iraq just to enrich his campaign contributors at the cost of thousands of lives. That scum sack must be tried for war crimes.

"Bush Honors Fallen".
Someone who has so dishonored the highest office in the land can offer no honor to the most honorable of our patriots.

Bush us the slime under my boot as I step on dog ***

Correction:

should be: 'Unless the illegitimate Bush-puppet has apologized and turned himself over to face WAR crimes and treason charges...', not EAR crimes.

Re: "Bush Honors Fallen For Memorial Day"

This does not seem possible. Unless the illegitimate Bush-puppet has apologized and turned himself over to face ear crimes and treason charges, it is very unlikely that he is able to honor anyone, other than Satan, of course.

too all of our fallen soldiers..THANK YOU!! I will never forget your service to our country.

THANK YOU...

[gunownerdan]

Every time Bush or any other president ignores their oath of office, they are spitting on the graves of those who have died to protect our freedom.

[realpatriot1]

We all honor our military but Bush has done nothing but use the military to score political points. The scumbag won't attend the funerals of our soldiers and won't allow the caskets to be photographed srriving at Dover because he's more concerned about his political image than he is in honoring their sacrifice.

He has done nothing but dishonor our military.

[walt1944-2009]

I hear that the "Bird of Paradise" found Bush in the Rose Garden the other day. It's too bad there aren't any pteradactlys around to make a "dictator sandwich" out of him! We should be so lucky!

SIG HEIL BUSH!

You may not agree with the president on everything but I would think you would agree with him about honoring our military. God bless the USA

As a Vietnam veteran of that military who lost friends and family in that war let me restate the obvious, George W. Bush has not earned the right to speak the names of our fallen service members! He dis-honored himself by having his father buy him a cushy job in the Texas Air Guard so he would have nothing more dangerous to do during the war then to fly a bar stool at the officers club, something that by all accounts he excelled at! If he had any shame at all he'd shut up!

"You may not agree with the president on everything but I would think you would agree with him about honoring our military"

He didn't honor our war dead, he just made excuses for hinself again. Read what he said. He's blowing smoke, trying to justify himself, what did he say about our brothers and sons? Nothing, just his usual self-congratulation and hype about how he is spreading freedom around the world and how just his mistake of a war is.

Bush talks like a CEO after a big explosion or crisis, just hyping himself, making excuses, and blaming everyone but himself for any problems. Sounds like a fat phony to me, if that's good enough to trade your children's life then you are no kind of a parent. If you are trading other people's children for that half-a$$ed rhetoric, then you are no kind of an American.

I am retired from the army, speaking strictly for myself, little georgie has not earned the right to ATTEMPT to honor the dead of this nation, much less enter the cemetaries where they rest. Cutting and running early from his military obligation, reducing funding for our veterans, making war on the cheap illustrate a sub-human species to which despicable and coward readily come to mind, and of course his TRUE FEELINGS for the armed forces.

Some of you people who post comments should really be ashamed. President Bush is honoring our fallen heros, the ones who fight for this great country and all you can do is keep on bashing the guy. You may not agree with the president on everything but I would think you would agree with him about honoring our military. God bless the USA
