There were also [108 Dems who did not walk out but who, in protest, refused to vote, and one who voted “present.”](http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/hold-house-votes-hold-eric-holder-contempt-congress-204937230.html)

Nope. Don’t believe it.

You know why? Because a successful military career would be a personal accomplishment. And you obviously have never accomplished anything in your life.

Because that’s what every white supremacist has in common. They’re all complete failures as individuals. That’s what attracts them to the ideology - it lets them claim credit for other people’s successes

I’m happy to not give a shit about a combat star. Is there some implication that military service means a person can’t be an asshole? Or does it mean that we’re supposed to respect assholes if they’ve been in the military?

If the answer is yes to either question, that’s a huge part of what’s wrong with our country: it signals that we’ve gone beyond simply respecting people who do a difficult, dangerous job and moved into an arena in which criticism of the military is not allowed.

But I don’t think the answer is yes to either question. I think the reason we’re supposed to give a crap is because an asshole reasons like an asshole, and only an asshole would think military service would keep someone from being an asshole.

It’s not so much that he was in the military, it’s that you’re on his lawn.

BOT, Before this thread was turned into a flame war against me,BTW I’m not a racist, I find racist of any color offensive. I just find it profoundly stupid that people will accept racism by a minority without question. As I am given to understand Caucasians are not a majority anymore. Whites are outnumbered by Blacks, Browns, Yellows and Reds. We need some Blues, Greens, and Oranges to fill the Crayola Box.

I find it amusing that someone can claim not to be racist and talk about “Blacks, Browns, Yellows, and Reds” in the same paragraph. :rolleyes:

So what? You’re still a racist, an idiot, and an asshole. All in all, a dishonorable disgrace to whatever uniform you wore.

But isn’t it funny how when people like you get offended by racists, it’s always racists of one of the other colors.

I doubt it. People who have real military experience have served alongside people of other races. And in extreme situations like that, you learn what’s real and what’s bullshit. You sound like a military wannabee who’s still stuck in the bullshit. If you were in Panama, I’m guessing you were pretty far behind the lines.

And it doesn’t help your credibility that you’re a nurse who calls himself “Doc”.
