The dark underbelly of America contains numerous warts, boils, and cancerous tumors, inflicted by that loathsome grimoire of madness that the elected leaders of our nation have become.


Well, I'm FedUp and I'm not taking it any more!

DoYOU Support The Troops???

SAYING you support the troops, and putting a cheesy-ass yellow ribbon magnet on your car does not "support the troops".

Taking care of injured and disabled vets adequately when they come home is support.

We fail at that.

Ensuring the vets come home to the same freedoms they were supposedly "defending" is support.

We fail at that.

Having an economy that can provide adequate economic opportunities to troops who muster out is support.

We fail at that.

Finally, making DAMN sure that any man or woman wearing the uniform of an American service does not risk their life needlessly or for mere corporate gain is support.

We fail miserably at that.

There's a big difference between supporting an unethical and immoral war, and supporting the troops. In fact, much of the time, those two things are mutually exclusive.

So, next time you talk to someone who "supports the troops", ask them exactly HOW they do that.

Chances are that they don't.

Not really anyway.

Liberals got women the right to vote.

Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote.

Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty.

Liberals ended segregation.

Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.

Liberals created Medicare.

Liberals passed the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act.

What did the ignorant conservatives do?

They opposed them on every one of those things.

Every damn one!

So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, 'Liberal,' as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won't work because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor.
