The Newly Emboldened American Racist

You said "I had to buy my own body armor as Bush was trying to run a war on the cheap". The decision was not that of George Bush, as stated in your own link.

"Army Gen. Richard A. Cody decided to stop buying bulletproof vests after a determination that some 50,000 soldiers not on the front lines could do without them".

Hillary Clinton then tried to made it political with the obvious lie that "George Bush sent people to war without body armor."

The remainder of her statements were rated 'mostly true'.

I sincerely respect those who served but doubt you were in Iraq at all.

Email please

I will send you my DD214 and campaign badges, along with a few pics of some buds that never made it back.

As Truman once said, the buck stops with him, I guess Bush2 did not get that one huh?

I was Air Force, three tours on escort duty, I volunteered for my last tour. You still want to leave Bush2 off that list?

Well, Air Force personal aren't going to have priority when body armor is issu. That soundsed. I figured it was something like that.

While you're complaining about Bush 43 are you going to blame Clinton? After all he had 8 years to stockpile that equipment.

I was assigned to an Army unit first tour, even the Army grunts did not have body armor. Bush sent us to war unprepared, Clinton was no were near the WH at the time. Love how some folks have political amnesia from 2000-2008 while the frat boy and chief was in charge. The man should have done us all a favor, and stayed a drunk and in the bar, instead he ended up in the WH.

Yes, the left is really good at pretending to be conservative posters to make them look worse than what they are. Now...many conservatives do a damn fine job making themselves look bad, all on their own, but it's made worse by posers.

Hell, how many conservative "satire" sites are there around that like to take conservative positions to the extreme.

The military should always be prepared. It should not be unexpected that a US President, after an attack on the nation he serves, that some military encounter would follow. Why was the military, under President Clinton, unprepared?

Clinton was certainly in the WH while the military were stagnating, unprepared for any possible conflict.

Ok I will give Clinton 1/4 of the blame, the rest is on Bush2, he was the commander in chief. You believe Bush has no blame in the matter, or you just cant admit it?

And I am still waiting on that email address, I do not like when one questions my service, but I am more than happy to prove my sacrifice.

Oh, so the lack of body armor really isn't the deal. You just want something to pigeon hole Bush with. Nevermind that Clinton spent eight years not making sure the armed forces had the equipment it needed in case a shooting war popped up. I figured it was something like that too.

What infantry unit were you attached to?

I am a better shot than you, had more practice.

You can not even apportion blame to Bush2 for his screw ups

Now who is the partisan hack

Consider your self served

I have been out since 2011, why would I speak military in the civilian world. Again, if you want to call my service into question provide an email, more than happy to provide proof, otherwise quit while you are behind.

If you scroll back you'll see that did agree with one of your points.

I bet you haven't more trigger time than me. Just a bunch.

Okay, so let me just brake this down. There is no counter argument made, just some misleadg/misdirection BS that the left relies on...
Obviously this first part you have nothing, you just resort to the Pee Wee Herman defense... "I know you are, but what am I?"

There is nothing sleazy to write what Duke said about Trump or the idiotic denial of Trump that he did not know who Duke or white supremacists are.
Click to expand...
So, right away, misleading. Responding to as if the sleaziness was attributed to what Duke said, it was not. It is your tactics that are sleazy.

Also, I did not associate Trump with Duke, I merely claimed (quite correctly) that Trump was a lying sack of manure when he said:
Click to expand...
Sure. More misleading. Trying to show that Duke is a Trump supporter, then trying to mislead to show that Trump wouldn't condem Duke, and finally implying that Trump is okay and good with Duke. Following so far?


And I also quite correctly wrote that David Duke supports Trump for president? As does the KKK.
Click to expand...
Okay, more of the same here. Trying to mislead. In one breath you claim that you did not associate Trump with Duke, then you try to associate Trump with Duke (and the KKK). Otherwise, what the hell is the point? Who gives a rats ass who these racist support?

I am also not saying that Trump wants to be connected to Duke or the KKK but reality says that the KKK and Duke want to support Donald Trump as their standard bearer for the white European values and heritage that they hold so dear and that they believe Trump also believes wholeheartedly.
Click to expand...
Okay, so more of you not trying to associate Trump with Duke and the KKK, LOL!

Yes, Byrd was a racist in the time that the democratic party was a bunch of racist asswipes and republicanism stood for human decency and human rights. Sadly the 2 parties have swapped places when it comes to where the parties are strongest and also partly as to the ideas of intolerance. Now it is the republican party who rules the deep South and looking at the bathroom bill that intolerant streak is still alive and kicking, as it is intolerance pure and simple.
Click to expand...
A load of BS in this part. All the Democrat associations with the KKK, voting a KKK guy as the Democrat leader, it's all okay because, LOL, they've swapped places! Oh, but still not associating the KKK with Trump, LOL! So they've swapped, eh? What KKK guy did the Republicans elect into leadership? I'll wait...

***extra credit here, equating the desire for people to use the proper bathroom with the KKK. Quite a stretch.***

Also, Byrd changed his KKK views and supported human rights later on in life.
Click to expand...
LOL! And the cherry on top, we know how these racist guys often change and lose every racist bone they ever had in their bodies.

So politicians live off the government, I assume you also consider all other politicians and government workers to be just living off the government. Yes, some real confusion going on there.
