Again, not denigrating people in the military.

well I dont know if it is a talent, but it is definitely a characteristic. The military especially soldiers and marines put their lives on the line. And that is exceptional. Something we don't see with mcd employees or CEOs

Except I don't hate our troops. Nice try though.

gosh we just quoted you running them down, something you denied but were caught with. According to you US soldiers are equal in ability to entry level workers like those at MCD, and are dumbasses, something according to you a CEO can not be.

You must have missed the news during our slide into recession if you dont think some CEOs are dumbassess.
Here are list of American dead in Iraq and Afghanistan, outstanding young men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice, but according to you many of them are just dumbasses

False. I appreciate the work they do, I don't doubt that some that died were indeed dumbasses. That doesn't mean they all are dumbasses, however much it is you want it to.

you claim people who died defending our country are dumbasses. Which is disgusting and put you on the same level as Rev Phelps. Then you claim that CEOs can not be dumbasses. The CEO who approved the edsel, new coke and a price rise at netflex, the CEOs at Lehman Brothers and all the rest who pushed us into a recession are not but soldiers who died for us are.

CEO's can be dumbasses too, but its rich dumbasses so its okay to tax them because they are more successful than you. Let me know when you are done crying.

gosh a ruddies seems like every year of my adult life I paid income tax. I dont think I ever cried about it, but maybe my memory is faulty. I like to think what I pay is going help provide money to kill terrorists, provide the best benefits and care for our servicepeople, providing for those Americans in need a life with dignity. Gosh I could never call people who put their lives on the line for America as dumbasses, but Rev Phelps and some on this site obviously can. I know your heart bleeds for the rich. Our system for the last thirty years have provided break after break for the rich, cut after cut in their tax rate. They have had continous tax relief at the expense of our nation and it shows in our deficits.

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, isadore. Sickening how you condone killing people to further your far left agenda.

gosh killing nazis saved lives and made the world a better place as does killing your friends in al queda. your heart bleeds for terrorist killers of Americans while you label Americans who died for their country dumbasses, ingratitude and disloyalty behind the shield of anonymity

Yeah maybe in your mind. Thankfully we know you are a bleeding heart liberal, which means you are poor, so it doesn't matter.

and in your mind killing Nazis to end the Holocaust and killing terrorists to prevent another 9/11 were bad?

I used the word "Nope" not no. Nice try though.

Funny thing that occurred to me...We already have subsidized/charitable grading. Grade inflation has been going on for years, and then there's also that thing called a curve. And, as would be expected, that's still not enough for the mediocre students.

there is no try, you have expressed your sympathy for terrorists labelling them freedom fighters and called people who have dies for their country, dumbasses. And implied it was wrong to kill the Nazis to end the Holocaust.

Would you label Americans in 1776 terrorists or freedom fighters?

they were fighting for freedom but your buddies in al queda are not. I must have missed something in history no suicide bombers in the revolution, purposeful mass murder of innocents as in the attack on the twin towers. All of which your buddies in al queda have done. But hardly a surprise that someone who tries to identify al queda as freedom fighters would complare them of the Patriots of the Revolution.

Know they wouldn't, maybe traitors but not terrorists. not slaughters of innocents, who you so admire and defend. But what the hell, you think the American soldiers they kill are just dumbasses.
