Is there anyone out there who still denies that there is clear, overwhelming liberal bias in the news media and Hollywood, two of the largest influences in the political landscape?

Well, you can’t really use this as an example of media bias. You’ll notice that this is on the Discovery Times channel, which if I recall correctley no longer has any relation to the Discovery Channel, but is owned by the New York Crimes. With that said, I’m rather surprised that it’s not a salute to other ‘veterans’ throughout history, like, you know, Che.

Didn’t they accuse Mr. Bush of having one for so many years? They would be attacked for not being ‘nuanced’ and ‘balanced’, or part of the U.N. and multi-culti spineless one-world Euro-lambs -crowd. One must always belong!

That’s like muslims making a video about all the wonderful things they have done for pigs.

Just following their leadership group think.

Illinois is a state that is very “veteran-friendly,” especially to reserivsts and guardsmen who were called up after 9/11/01.

In addition to a “just because” grant of $500 for every Illinois reservist/guardsman who served in Iraq or Afghanistan, they can receive a $5000 grant to go towards the downpayment for the purchase of a first house as well.

Also, Illinois provides 4 year full rides to any Illinois state university for any Illinois reservist/guardsman who is deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will provide 3 years of graduate school as well. Add the 3 years they could earn under the Montegomery Bill, and Illinois residents who are National Guard or Army/USAF/USMC/USN reservists (I don’t know if there are reserve Coasties, but it would apply to them, too), can have up to 10 years of college and post-grad college tuition paid for at one of the nation’s most prestigeous universites.

As everyone who reads the scribblings I do here, it ought to be clear that I am NOT a [spit!] Democrat. But appointing Duckworth (a double amputee Iraq war veteran) to this job is a stroke of good fortune for all veterans living in Illinois.

Please don’t feed the troll.

And so it begins – this is a paltry attempt by the Dems to align themselves with the military. Instead of promoting an anti-war agenda, now that the Dems have office they’ll begin their back pedalling and revert to the standard Dem tactic of trying to be everything to everyone.

Just proves that the Dems will say anything, doesn’t it.

But at the end of the day these people are now just another batch of politicians and I don’t feel like getting misty-eyed over some true story that started life as the gleam in a producers eye after he got done reading a DNC press release.

You can blame Tom Reynolds and Sally Vastola. Incompetence!

Aren’t these the same kind of people Rangel and Kerry call stupid?

Stop the damn blinking Mccain ads!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes the ad is annoying as he is.

Stop the damn blinking Mccain ads!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah McCain’s name alone gives me seizures.

Anybody could see how the “chickenhawk” argument — as unfair and as illogical as it may be — has hurt the GOP since 9/11, and in time of war, there ought to have been some effort to recruit veterans as Republican candidates.
