Thanks, I''m doing alright really, it''s amazing what modern medicine can do. The wife got checked and we matched tissue wise, so she became a living donor for me. We''ve been together 20 years, she said she didn''t want to lose me; is that love or is that love.

I think we are already in deep, deep, trouble. This deal with the marines, I can''t help but think that that is how military folks take over governments. It''s happened many times in many countries. Are we immune when the suits gather so much power that they are not just above the law, but THE law?

Nice try but we all know what Rush meant. He wasn''t just talking about people pulling a fraud. Every liberal minded person on this forum experiences this c r a p first hand.

Why wouldn''t anyone stick up for Rush? How people can interpret the ''phony soldiers'' as it has been portrayed boggles me.

Why does it boggle you? Rush insulted an American soldier because he didn''t like his political view. There''s only one way to intepret calling a real soldier a "phony" soldier - unless you think "phony" is a compliment.

Except that Rush NEVER insulted an American soldier; he was referring correctly to "phony soldiers":

CALLER: And what''s really funny is they never talk to real soldiers. They pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and spout to the media.

RUSH: The phony soldiers.

The caller starts out by saying the media "never talks to REAL soldiers" and then Rush comments on those soldiers the media drags out (the not "real" ones) as "phony soldiers". He later gives an example of one of them, MacBeth which he has talked about previously and mentioned in his Morning Update feature the DAY BEFORE. Is that not clear to you?

So what would YOU call those guys that have lied about being in the military and the things he saw and was ordered to do and is now going to jail for it? Are you defending their actions and calling them "real" soldiers?

tucker, AJ....your service was neither wasted or unappreciated. It have may have just been taken for granted however!

You have protected the freedoms I have to be the a$$hole I am today.

tucker, AJ Marine...

I hope that I don''''''''t come off as a ***. I still believe that there is still hope for America. We still have a chance.

Posted by dscott407 at 09:13 PM : Oct 11, 2007,

Don''t sweat it, this is a forum and a place to express thoughts,.......go for it.

[drummer94]

I thought it was Army-Navy that was the biggest rivalry? You know, as in football? It''s the only time the services really get to duke it out.

[dscott407]

AJ...

I am just having a good time. I would not screw with the USMC!!

That just his way of having a good time, he doesn''t mean it..........or, I don''t think he means it; or maybe he really does, sometimes it''s hard to tell.

About IVAW

"Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) was founded by Iraq war veterans in July 2004 at the annual convention of Veterans for Peace (VFP) in Boston to give a voice to the large number of active duty service people and veterans who are against this war, but are under various pressures to remain silent.

From its inception, IVAW has called for:

Immediate withdrawal of all occupying forces in Iraq;

Reparations for the destruction and corporate pillaging of Iraq so that Iraqi people can control their own lives and future;
and
Full benefits, adequate healthcare (including mental health), and other supports for returning servicemen and women."

Interesting reading.

Three Iraqi Christian sisters, beating their mother%u2019s coffin in grief, wailed and hugged each other at her funeral in Baghdad yesterday as their rapidly shrinking religious community vented anger at the foreign security guards who killed her.

Blackwater civilian-killer terrorists are responsible for fueling the anti-American hatred, which fuels even more Islamic terrorism.
