Tucker Carlson, join the military and go do a tour, then discuss Duckworth

Duckworths two blown off legs should not make her political opinions any more special than anyone elses.

You are right about her political opinions, but no one should call a vet a coward for any damn reason, especially a real coward like Tucker. If he wants that right, go join up and serve.

Whether one served in the military or not should have no bearing on whether they are considered a coward or not.

Bullsh*t. He would just talk over her and never let her get a word in like he does with all of the people he hates. I would like to see them meet in a debate with no ties to Fox or any other news show and then see who is the coward.

Oh yes the Hannity style interview. I’ve never watched tucker, and now I never will.

One voluntarily signed up and fought for her country and when called, the other lied about bunions and fought for his wealth. That has some bearing for me...

:screwy

Voluntary combat duty is the definition of courage. You are severely confused.

I'm echoing the beliefs of my father who served for two years of the Korean War, including 7 months of hard combat.

No, you’re making your own ignorant statement.

Why are you claiming this? Not every combat veteran is gung ho about how great it is to have served in combat. My dad didn't even like voting for politicians who talked about their military service.

I’m not claiming anything. I’m stating a fact. You didn’t say “my father’s opinion is/was such and such”, you posted in the first person.

No disrespect to your father, but his is just one opinion. An opinion he certainly earned the right to claim.

As someone who has never served, you’re still entitled to your opinion too, but because your opinion is not supported by personal experience, it is valueless.

Most opinions are not supported by personal experience. Are all of them valueless. ?
 
Dayton3 said:
and you are carving out a "require first hand experience" for military service?

Why?

That you’re asking me to explain “why”, explains why. If you served, you’d understand why.

A simple analogy to help you get the point;
Two guys give you their opinion of what it’s like to skydive. Only one of them has ever done it though. Which person’s opinion has value?

OK, he married into a successful business family that owned slaves. I literally do not care. It is totally a relevant to his position as founder of the country. Maybe you should go knock the blacks for being defeated by the black princeses that sold them to the Portuguese in the first place

Go blame Portugal. I refuse to condemn George Washington for any of it.

I'm not condemning George Washington. I'm just saying there are gray areas worth discussing.

You are condemning anyone who doesn't see the issue in black and white as de facto unpatriotic and unworthy of consideration.

That isn't patriotism. It is nationalism.

Yes you are. If you had no problem with George Washington being a central founder of our country, you wouldn’t be demanding a dialogue or supporting one on his position as such. This is the same playbook that has been used on every liberal issue, you start a “dialogue” Then once you have your foot in the door you immediately go all the way to the most extreme.

So you are the exception that proves the rule? Not in my experience.

My experience is that it is the exact opposite: Liberals compromise where conservatives say "our way or the highway." Conservatives are dragged kicking and screaming into progress that other countries have already left in their rear-view mirror, and quickly undo it the first chance they get.

Republicans are the "my way or the highway" party at this point in history, as your posts prove. Any compromise always seems to happen on the Democrat side of the aisle and Republicans just cross their arms and plug their ears.

What left-wing social issue victory has ever been reversed? Abortions started out as merely early term abortion’s in limited circumstances. And now the institutional opinion of the democratic party is that you can abort a baby the minute before birth and the fringe elements in academia say abortion is justifiable up to the age of four. They literally think infanticide is OK and that’s the conversation will be pushing in 10 years. We went overnight, from knowing as a society what a man and a woman are, and now the hard left says you’re a bigot if you don’t except that some big ugly guy with a penis is a woman.

We still have social security even though the full objective truth it’s both bad for the elderly AND sapping the country with unfounded liabilities. When the end road of your ideology is a totalitarian state of subjective marxist ideology invented by academia, there is no such thing as a loss for you. If you want to destroy marriage as an institution you’ll start by repealing Comstock laws in the 60s divorce in the 70s and wait until the 80s to bring homosexuality into the picture

There’s no such thing as “progres” that very idea is evidence you believe in some central tenants of Marxism

Utter BS. You have reverted to attacking straw men. Anyone can do that.

So many people in this country who were unwilling to serve are more than willing to question the bravery of those who have. I remember Trump telling us that he did not consider McCain a hero as he had been captured. What did the brave Trump followers say, NOTHING. Now we have another jackass Tucker Carlson calling Duckworth who joined and served and was wounded a coward. He is the coward. If he wants to question Duckworth as being a coward then he should join up and serve a tour in Iraq or Afghanistan and then he can question her bravery. Until then the coward that he is should just keep his trap shut about her being a coward. And those that are saying it is his right, you should join and serve a tour and then say you agree with him again. Just so you know I volunteered in 69 and come from a military family where my father and 8 out of nine children served.

Does this inane response also apply to TV folks and politicians who did not serve or just the talking heads you don't like.
