Reply #59: because Kennedy aided in getting his crew to safety [View All]

I read the story about Poppy * leaving his crew. Also, read a story about his dad during WWI-apparently wrote a letter home to his family on how he was awarded numerous medals. Well, the town came to greet him, but whoops, apparently not the medals he stated.

We have a media that creates their own characters. Little Boots, party hearty frat boy who had never seen the horrors of war, but loved to play dress up and send others. The media created a likable fellow y'all just would want to have a beer with, a cowboy, down home type living on a ranch he bought before the election. A cowboy type apparently afraid of horses. Then there's five deferment Cheney, he had more important things to do, but he loves him some war, especially if it means profits. There is nothing tough about killing a bunch of almost domesticated birds and "accidentally" shooting someone.

This country makes heroes into villains and villains into heroes. Now Kerry was a hero and his crew stood for him in the election-a very complicit media and big bucks gave the swift boat liars every opportunity to spread their shite against him. And Kerry had every right to face congress and tell them that Vietnam was fekked up. I was sickened by the purple heart band aids.

George McGovern was done in by the likes of Atwater. Planting a false letter and apparently apologizing after the election. I read McGovern wept. When you vilify someone with knowing lies, you are killing them, you are killing their reputation and making light of their sacrifices, especially to this country.

You think our students are reading any history about Gen. Smedley Butler, one of the most decorated military officers in the history of this country? Exposing the "business plot" against FDR-he should be a damn hero up there with our forefathers-but no, those same families, businesses who plotted and financed ones such as Hitler, evidently are still running the game.
