		<description>I love that Rangel.  Give him more air time.
And crr6, picking away at someones grammar, and ignoring what they are stating...well that is just the plain dumbest thang I have red.  Look at the content, not the package.</description>

		<description>Like any other profession there are those who could excel and those who just aren&#039;t suited.  I have three sons.  My middle son has considered the military.  He would do very well.  He has the fortitude and personality that would be an asset.  My oldest son is totally the opposite.  Although he is very intelligent as is his brother, he tends to be meek.  It is harder for him to take risks.  Our youngest son is somewhere in the middle.  He would do ok but it would not be the best place for him.  That is the problem with the draft.  The draft is random and so would not always get the ones who are the most suited for that profession.  If by chance only the ones like my oldest were drafted, the army would not be as strong as it is with only those like my second son enlisting.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve seen the bogus, straw man argument about only veterans can speak about the military and war done to death.

Conservatives who haven&#039;t served are prohibited by Democratic Party/Liberal edict from being allowed to support victory in the war of terrorism.  &quot;Chickenhawks&quot; are not allowed to exercise their right of free speech, say most liberal/Democrats.

Liberals and Democrats like Rangel and Murtha who servered are taken as the only source of information and wisdom and considered the &quot;lore masters,&quot; and are the only ones allowed to comment.

Even if they are (1) crooks and undicted conspirators with NO personal honor of their own, or (2) political operatives whose agenda INCLUDES deliberately weakening the armed forces of the United States.

When a particularly stupid liberal plays the &quot;chickenhawk&quot; card in my presence, it is enough to recall that Benedict Arnold was not only a &quot;veteran,&quot; by one decorated for personal bravery in battle -- but nobody OTHER than traitors has any interest on what Arnold&#039;s opinion of the war would be.

&lt;strong&gt;Because for all his military valor, like today&#039;s libeals and the Brownshirts running today&#039;s Democratic Party, Arnold betrayed his country.  &lt;/strong&gt;

People need to remember WHO in this country works for victory in the war on terror and WHO works for the enemy.</description>

		<description>What is the argument here - Rangel is an idiot. Think about this - after the Kerry debacle one would understand that we are no longer living in the 60&#039;s. If he really believes what he said - then he is an idiot for not realizing how it will be taken by our Military and saying it. His is too old and after his insult of the entire atate of Misissippi should not be taken seriously. We should stop whining about him and put him on prime time TV 5 nights a week. Rove couldn&#039;t cause more damage to the Dems on his best day. Rather than complain about Rangel we should make sure that his each and every word is amplified with maximum voltage. I will bet that every other sentence from his mouth will prove his ignorance and magnify the Dems sorry attitude. 

Viva Rangel!!!</description>

		<description>An apology from Rangel would have the maximum effective range of a popcorn fart.

The point of an apology is for the one apologizing to regret his offending utterance.  He&#039;s a smug, self-assured traitor, firmly in with his constituency and his party, with enough of *BOTH* behind him that he need never regret anything he might say.  

The point of a forced apology -- apologizing to avert outrage -- is to humble the speaker, which is clearly out of the realm of possibilty of this vestige of the worst of the &#039;60&#039;s.  

It&#039;s time for his opposition, the conservatives of this country, to coalesce and *FIGHT* this bozo.  Fight tooth and nail against his receiving any chairmanship, don&#039;t let him play that tattered, old race card, and make him suffer politically for his words.  Make an example of him if at all possible.

It&#039;s beyond time for the gloves to come off.  Civility has been out the window since Florida 2000.  The Party of Treason fantasizes about assasinating a sitting president, slanders our servicemen and servicewomen, outrage every decent citizen, and aren&#039;t ever held accountable.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Rangel probably really does believe that the armed forces are the last hope for &lt;strong&gt;those unlucky schmucks with no hope — like those that live in or around Red States&lt;/strong&gt; (or Republicans) or those who must compete with large illegal immigration populations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Nice attitude.</description>

		<description>Rangel served in Korea . . . so what?  I, all of my friends and most of my family served in either WWI, WWII, Korea, or Vietnam but that simply makes us patriotic citizens, not war critics or masters of international policy.  Frankly, I&#039;m sick and tired of these jerks telling us about their military Service as a means of attaining credibility for their moronic ideas and unwarranted criticisms.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know what Rangel has to apologize about.

We know that a great percentage of our soldier come from middle class families in Red States - Rangel probably just meant that if these youngsters had a chance for a good life somewhere that wasn&#039;t Red (or away from their Pub families), they wouldn&#039;t have joined the armed forces. Anywhere around Pubs is the same as no opportunities as far as he is concerned.

And for those that really are poor and uneducated - if those youngsters actually had a chance for a good life where they could get jobs and good wages instead of competing with illegal aliens (who Rangel supports) then they might not have joined the armed forces, either.

Rangel probably really does believe that the armed forces are the last hope for those unlucky schmucks with no hope -- like those that live in or around Red States (or Republicans) or those who must compete with large illegal immigration populations.

(And I just figured the whole &quot;draft&quot; argument!!! Draft everyone so that there can be an endless market for dead-end illegal alien entry-level jobs!)  RAT-think - sometimes I am way behind....</description>

		<description>Mark V, 

It doesn&#039;t matter if someone served or not.  Just because Rangel fought in Korea doesn&#039;t mean he died for our sins.  I&#039;m not against criticism of the military, but blanket statements like his, especially untrue blanket statements,  should be apologized for. 

What if someone were to say, because 11 female teachers were convicted of child molestation, that education seems to attract the sexually perverse.  I&#039;m sure that even if the person that made the statement used to be a teacher they would still be hit over the head by public opinion.</description>

		<description>You know I think that Rangel is the Dems&#039; go-to veteran since Murtha&#039;s dirtbagedness became public.  Doesn&#039;t seem to be working out for them...

Catie, I used to be but I didn&#039;t renew my membership.  I&#039;m definately re-joining the American Legion now, though.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Well, JasonG, you’ll have to cut the Republicans some slack. Every time they stick up for men in uniform, the media make sure to give ample airplay to Dems who 1) &lt;strong&gt;make note of the dearth of Republican congressmen who have worn the uniform&lt;/strong&gt; and 2) feign outrage over the questioning of their patriotism.

They&#039;d better be careful bringing up any &quot;dearth&quot;--roughly twice as many Republicans in Congress have served than Democrats. You all can check your own representatives &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.whoserved.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.</description>
