I don’t really care if Hitler was a great Boy Scout in his youth. Nor do I care if “our soldiers are killing women and children” Murtha was a good person in his twenties. Some actions totally negate earlier charities. May he rest in heat.

Remember, this was done at a GOVERNMENT hospital by a surgeon employed by the GOVERNMENT. Also known as a single payer system.

The dead horse is dead. Quit wasting energy on kicking it

aaahhh, let the people get their pokes in. It quite cathardic.

put a wise, honest conservative in that seat.

consider the pokes on murtha as reminding ourselves what we don’t want in a Senator.

William Russel and Tim Burns are the only two competitors for Murtha’s seat right now.

Its time to drive another nail in the coffin of ObamaCare.

One thing I saw time and again during MY 22 years as a Marine (CAPITAL M, retired Former Marine),…..

Well, that puts my 4 in perspective. 22 gets a CAPITAL M. No doubt about it.

Time for another Obama “campaign visit”!

there fixed it for you nico or whatever?!?!

From the Halls of Montezuma,
To the shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country’s battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine.

This has to be prefaced by the DI with night duty shouting:

“Turn on the radio!”

Followed by a precision chorus, all laying at attention in their racks, shouting back:

“Sir, turn on the radio, Aye-Aye, Sir!

“From the halls of Montezoo-ooo-ma…..”

That’s simply how it has to be sung.

Such an apology shows humility, courage and integrity – all traits to be admired.

Thank you nico.

And all traits that are more impressive when proactively deployed.

My very best wishes for your children in harm’s way.

But around the same time, a family member started exhibiting signs of Alzheimers. It was devastating, but Murtha’s behavior seemed to fit with the onset of Alzheimers. People associate it with memory loss, but its much deeper than that, causing judgement issues and emotional mood swings and outbursts.

So based only on having dealt with him, then watching his behavior later in the context of dealing with a family member with Alzheimers I’m very sure that Murtha had a condition like that. It would of course be concealed or he’d lose re-election, and the Democrats really don’t care so long as a warm breathing body occupies a seat and votes the right way. Tragic, I feel sorry for his family’s loss even though late in life he hurt the very same defense issues he’d fought for most of his career.

Lord, this man was far from perfect, and we both know it, so please, could you see your way clear to show him some good ol’-fashioned Murtha?

And we pray, may the Lord show him Murtha and love, as this man showed Murtha to the people of Johnstown, Washington D.C. and Haditha; wipe away his sins and soutures and make him whole; and redeploy him from Walter Reed to that great Okinawa in the sky.

From the Halls of Montezuma,
To the shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country’s battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine.

Our flag’s unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in every clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find us always on the job
The United States Marines.

Here’s health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we’ve fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven’s scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.

I believe Mr. Murtha will have to answer to the sentries at the Pearly Gates for the passages listed in bold. St. Peter shall be the one to request admittance from. The thoughts of the Marine Sentries in Heaven will weigh heavily in the balance, I am sure.

And for whatever Honor you gave the Marines, Mr. Murtha, God Bless You. For whatever Dishonor you brought on them or yourself on their behalf, God Forgive You.

Subsunk

Thanks for setting this straight.

After all, the center doesn’t like “mean people.” And it’s “mean” to say bad things about someone that died. They’re kind of like the smoking hot girlfriend everyone wants to keep … but it’s hard because they’re dumber than a bag of hammers and they get upset every time someone wants to do something out of the ordinary.

How come it is never seen as a dirtbag who took a short detour on his path of life to fake giving service to our country. Senator Horseface comes to mind. Nobody who is sane would claim he was a patriot simply because he was in uniform and was in Vietnam. Why is it any different with this guy?

Good character is not something that can be taken from a person but it is something that can be thrown away. If Murtha ever had it, he threw it away for the ability to worship self. His problem now is there are no mirrors where he is and nobody to tell him lies about his value.

He is left with only the truth he tried to hide for so long.

Well said

I won’t miss him.

We can talk about his good side, but most everyone has a good side, and the rest are psychotics.

He did a lot of hurt while he was here. He raided the government treasury, and that is money coming out of the pockets of folk who can’t afford a new coat, or a car repair. He stole this money with pride and it was called smart politics. He was shameless and out of control, and his ability to get the goods got him re elected, because greed begets greed and evil begets evil.

Corruption disguised as public service and he mixed the two so well he finally lost track of truth itself

What did Pelosi call him, a giant? She would know
