And there it is, folks.....a non-server telling a veteran that they must have gone in the military because they "couldn't make it in the real world".....and yet he mistakenly calls himself a patriot. It's quite laughable, isn't it?Couldn't make it in the real world, huh. Must have been very uncomfortable working with real patriots.
We sure are getting to know true trumpanzee feelings towards veterans.
I would thank you for your service except for the fact that I feel that this this is now a cheap way of saying for political gain that we now recognize you as a right-winger. I have always found it pathetic that we Americans are appealed to by charities to contribute to provide services to our veterans, mostly our disabled veterans, when we, through the United States Government that we all pay for, should be providing them with anything and everything they need, as part of our ongoing national commitment to them. How is it that they are now dependent on our handouts?
There is something ideological afoot with service in our military that does not have to do with honoring a person's service to our country. I remember when "Dubya" was president and the family of a fallen soldier who followed the Wiccan faith had to fight to have his religious symbol on his gravestone, and Dubya said that he did not recognize Wicca as a religion because it was not part of his little world. The soldier followed a faith and died in the service of his country. There should never have been any dispute. I live a ten-minute drive from Arlington National Cemetery, where lie many thousands, including "Drunken" Ira Hayes and Capt. Humayun Khan, disrespected for the sacrifice of his life by religious bigots for political reasons. I also remember the political mistreatment of Max Cleland, and who could not have given more except to die.
At least we have recently been treated to the sight of a United States Senator, disabled war veteran, and retired lieutenant colonel, bringing one of our newest Americans onto the floor of the United States Senate. This is how it should be in our nation.
Your service in the military is a credit to yourself and to all of us. It certainly entitles you to speak your mind.
lol it's hardly an exclusive club, and many joined up because they were unemployed and wanted the bennies, not because they wanted to do anything once they got in, like fight bad guys. The latter types are pretty rare, and they go combat infantry or Marine volunteers.
lol at pretending we have to now honor Wiccans or something.
My comment was about honoring the faith of a soldier fallen in Afghanistan, Patrick Stewart, for our national interest, on a private individual grave. Captain Humayun Khan lost his life in service. We have the right to religious choice in this country. Why wouldn't we honor anyone's choice of faith. Good grief. Billy graham's body was just up at the U.S. Capitol and there was a big governmental hoopla and politico barfing over a southern baptist, complete with limos, and he didn't even die in service.
This thread is about a mentally ill sicko, and Wicca is not a religion, and neither is Islam. Just because some weirdos claim they are doesn't mean anybody else has to pretend they are, any more than we have to pretend this freak harassing a cop is a woman and not just a annoying tard.
Unbelievable. Wicca and Islam are religions, the same as any bastardized thing that some imbecile like tony perkins can make up is. What constitutes a religion is not for you to say. If you choose to dislike LGBTs for whatever psychological reason that you choose this, that's your business.
You definitely have some crossover dealings with LGBTs between your version of religion and their sexual orientation, completely disregarding the religious beliefs and affiliations of LGBTs themselves.I don't recall any poll being taken of religious beliefs of LGBT people, and I can't speak for them except to note that I know of a gay man who is very reverent and teaches Sunday School. I also do know that a gay man founded a Christian denomination so that Christian LGBT people could worship freely.
Your individual opinions are your own, but if you attempt to do something to harm LGBTs and their rights, or do so to any other group of people, defined by sex, sexual orientation, or religion, it definitely is our business.
You count, but only as one individual amount hundreds of millions. You count only as much as a gay or lesbian person marrying, a Wiccan priestess, a Muslim mother. You have grown too big for your britches, sonny. You have absolutely no right to ride a high horse in American society.
