kallend 2,148 #51 October 31, 2003 You are missing the point. A chickenhawk isn't just someone that didn't serve in the military. It is someone that didn't serve in the military AND is cavalier about sending other people's sons and daughters into harm's way. BTW, it is quite possible to be an honorable contributing patriot without military service. I would count Robert Oppenheimer's contribution to WWII right up there with any general.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Call him 'cavalier' if you like - just don't expect me to agree with you. While I remain baffled as to the Iraqi-centric foreign policy the administration chose to pursue, I don't consider its attitude cavalier. If you do - good for you.

TheAnvil 0 #54 October 31, 2003 QuoteThere is far more to the administration than just the Senate.. You mean the republican party Quote oh and as of last count your numbers are offset handily but the 14 women senators.. none of whom have served in the military that I can see. ( are evil immoral democrats. and 5 are saintly moral republicans.. I don't care. It's a stupid metric conjured up by someone on a Bush hate site. Even if it were conjured up by the RNC it would still be a stupid metric. Even if it weren't stupid - and it is goat-f! stupid - women can serve in the military and have been able to do so for years. It's stupid - I don't care. Quote here are also the Representatives.. the Cabinet... and the site did manage to list some of those as well as having served... or not served. But overall I stand by my assessment.. The Chickenhawks are in charge. Call them that if it makes you feel better. Quote And they are backed up by even more of the mealy mouthed vile spewing chickenhawk hypocrites on right wing talk radio..especially the ingrown hair on his butt drug user talk radio slams. The left has tried talk radio repeatedly and failed - for numerous reasons. Therefore they really really really hate conservative talk radio hosts. Call them vile all you want - for true hatred go read Michael Moore or Al Franken. Or read democraticunderground.com or any of the other myriad of Bush hate sites.Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
