[...] One more Memorial Day post, if you’ll permit me. Ian over at Expose the Left has video of Fox’s Power Player of the week from yesterday’s show. It is Army Staff Seargent Alfred Lanier, who is in charge of the Honor Guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington Cemetery. It’s a powerful piece, well worth the couple of minutes it takes to watch. [...]

Young men and women like SSgt. Lanier give me hope for the future of my country. God bless him.

Duty, Honor, Country wrapped up in one man!

You mean to say this guy isnt living in his parents basement and calling himself a ‘social activist’?
Ask not what your country can do for you, etc. etc. Hear that lefties, that line was directed to you.
Ok libbys, time for you to bring up some story about Abu Ghraib so as to properly smear this fine sergeant.

You would tihnk the liberals who so support our troops, and who have so much energy to spam the crap out of other threads, would jump to this thread and offer love and happiness.
But there’s not much love and happiness in liberal-land for the troops. They want to kill them to save them.

Yes, I’m a lefty and I offer my love.
” Kill them to Save them?” NOW STFU!

They don’t support the troops as much as they hate Bush. They’ll throw the troops under the bus (see: Murtha) if they think they can use them to hurt Bush.

Yep, kill them to save them…it is pretty goddamn obvious. You kill them to save them from the evil of GW Bush because they don’t know any better, they’re brainwashed.
Don’t think so? It’s Murtha’s game plan and whomever is bankrolling him. The left has a hard time admitting their extreme anti-military stance, it takes a couple of college kids to spray paint their true feelings. It’s all about the dishonesty.
No doubt about it. Kill them to save them.

Amazing how you neocon koolaid drinkers could politicize such a fine young man efforts.
For shame.

Yup, that’s why the left is so anti-body armor and was willing to send said troops into combat with vinyl doors on their vehicles. It was the evil lefties who said we went to war with the army we had, not the army we wished we had. Right.
SSGT. Lanier is a fine NCO and I am proud to have him protecting my family from all threats foreign (Al Qaeda) and domestic (the Bush administration).

See Clinton, Bill. Interesting how you’re co-opting the question from a soldier to Rumsfeld.
Oh, such support for the soldiers, except for the ones at Abu ghraib, Gitmo, Haditah, Vietnam, Mogadishu, Afghanistan, the Phillippines, Central America…the left supports all these incursions, don’t they.
Like I said, in order for you to have your way, the troops must be sacrificed.
Kill them to save them. Make it worse for them. Pull them out of Iraq, tell them they are worthless, tell them what they do isn’t worth anything, don’t honor them. It’s the liberal way.
See Mogadishu and the movie Black Hawk Down

Or carry big signs advocating that troops kill their officers, other ones that profess support and solidarity for the ‘defenders’ of Fallujah or print cartoons depicting soldiers as drooling idiots (see cartoonist, liberal, Rall, Ted).
BTW Frank, you do realize that if you impeach and perhaps get rid of Bush that Cheney would become POTUS? You do realize that dont you?

Sorry guys, I can’t believe I forgot that you wanted to have a guy who royally fucked troops over the President of the US, John “Winter Soldier” Kerry.
Oh, but “that’s not true”, huh.

No, I served under Clinton, Benrand. Fastest misdirect to Clinton ever. Pull the nails out of your palms, climb on down, and explain your “save them to kill them” B.S. a little better. Better yet, spend some time reading something other than a blog for your facts and retarded talking points.

I served under Clinton also, and remember getting the first news about Mogadishu.
PC bullshit about ‘offending the natives’ and refusing air cover cost a few American lives and in the end quite a few Somali.
One incident of many. Too bad the focus was on trying to get gays accepted into the military rather than beefing up our forces and getting the seeds to use them.
2:05 pm [ Quote ]
On Mogadishu I don’t disagree at all, same worthless PC BS that got a buddy disciplined for showing a guy his foot and flipping him off left-handed. The gay thing was/is a joke at best and a distraction at worst. You’ve served with them. I had a female Ssgt with a rainbow pyramid tattoo on her bicep marry a drag queen for BAQ. Point being, I’d rather serve with a gay than a liar and if you ban gays, you get both.

I agree that ANY president should put his troops first. Clinton being guilty of the same sin wouldn’t minimize Bush’s culpability in that area.

Al is one amazing man. Talk about someone with pride and honor. His steadfastness brings a tear to the eye.
Thank you Al for your service to our nation.

SSGT there is stud. We need more like him to fight the GWOT. Ian should get down to the local recruiting station and enlist STAT

Well said. I think the above observer reflects the thinking of most wingnuts. Well played, sir!

LAF,
Great stuff! Can’t disagree with your delusions. I’m sure they are very real. There’s these drugs called “anti-psychotics”, which you’re already probably familiar with. I advise you to take them on a daily basis. Good work, son!

LOL, nah, wouldn’t want to actually compare Clinton with Bush on this subject would ya.
I would hope, then, that you didn’t vote for John Kerry based on his treatment of soldiers in the field of battle in VN. Jenjjis Kahnn and all that.
Or is that a fiction too, just like Bill CLinton’s loathing of the military, or liberals of the 60’s complete disdain for military men (see: American Beauty)...
What was CLinton’s response to the USS Cole bombing again? That was a terrorist attack right? Was Bill too busy pardoning Marc Rich to worry about it?
You can’t ever complain about Bush’s support of the military when the feckless wonder Bill Clinton tried turning the Army into a commune.

You see Frankie… us conservatives are just too simple-minded to understand statements like that. How do you support the troops but not support what they’re doing? If you don’t support the mission… how do you support the people carying out the mission? And if you DO support what they are doing… well I’m sure you know where this is going. I guess I’ll just never be as smart as you, Frankie. Hey, I’m gonna try that on my kids… “Son, I pledge my unconditional support to you, but I can’t support what you do.” I can see the look on his face now.

What do you mean? You neocon homophobes “hate the sin, not the sinner” right? What is so hard to follow? Either neither side are hypocrites or both are…your pick.

Let’s see, just because more rich people voted for Bush means they’re smarter than everyone else? They voted for Bush because they knew they’d get tax breaks! Oh, and as for the meds, I’d recommend Lithium in high doses.

I must say, those POWER PLAYER OF THE WEEK segments are the weaaaaaakest parts of that Sunday show.
I mean, I’d rather see Juan Williams and Brit Hume yell at each other some more than see somebody nobody I never heard of get interviewed by boring Chris Wallace. I mean come on. Terrible television that…

Hey If you really support soldiers you should read this article on

Its long but worth to read it.
Let me know what you think about it.

Proud Liberal here…..And I would like to offer this fine young soldier an extra large watermelon and a free gift card for $25 worth of roscos chicken and waffels. question my patriotism will you?

Dude, you’re insane. Meds, dude, meds…

Yes Im a Liberal: Watermelon and Chicken, can you spell racist?
These men guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and working at Atlington in the burial detail are the cream of the crop. They should make any American proud!
