According to Representative Charlie Rangel the U.S.A. is the Land of Lack of Opportunity.

He’s declaring that it is a lack of options in America that induces young men to enlist in the Armed Services. Nevermind that we currently have a record low ….

Case in point: Rangel sounds like he’s suffering from a cocktail of Bush Derangement Syndrome, malignant narcissism (e.g., think Andrew Sullivan) and an unhealthy dose of transferance/projection.

Although someone like Rangel may well be patriotic in some ways – I’m sure, for example, that he’d rather live in this country than anywhere else – he’s devoid of that form of patriotism shown by those who are not just capable of enjoying their liberties, but are willing to volunteer to fight for them too.

Seeing this void in himself makes someone like Rangel quite uncomfortable, because he can’t comprehend why and how people not only don’t despise George Bush like he does, but even further would be willing to fight in a conflict in which George Bush is commander-in-chief.

But rather than engage in an honest self-examination of why he feels the way he does, the malignant narcissist chooses to distort reality so that the outside world conforms to him. After all, he’s the “normal” one, so if anyone behaves in a way he finds disagreeable then it’s the other guy who must be “abnormal.”

Ergo, if if Rangel can’t feel patriotic in the way that a volunteer soldier does, why then nobody else can, either. Thus, he ends up projecting onto others his own rationalizations for this lack in himself.

It may not make any logical sense; but it lets Charlie feel good about himself without having to let go of his hatred for others, and that’s what being a liberal demagogue is all about in the end.

I can only tell you that to have Charlie Rangel propped up for the next two years as a major Democratic voice is going to be good therapy for me…But target practice shouldn’t be this easy… Rangel actually professes that America does not have……

How the heck did this moron get elected? How does this moron continue to get elected. He never thinks before he speaks on camera and has seriously disrespected the soldiers serving in the military numerous times. This guy is the new chairman of the con…

As a veteran, I’m astounded how out of touch the Rangel’s and Kerry’s are with their former comrades. How can they not “get it”?

Call me a brainwashed fascist but I enlisted because I love my country, not the paycheck. If I were a few years younger I’d take the pay cut re-enlist today.

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention….

The United States military has functioned effectively as an all-volunteer force for three decades. Statistics show that our soldiers today are better educated, and broadly representative of the American population — and that if anything, whites from t…

But back to what he actually said. Can we assume, since Rangel was drafted, that he didn’t have the patriotism required to voluntarily serve during his war?
