And yes, there most certainly are posters here, particularly on the political right who think jingoistic Fascist slogans are serious ideas. And I have to wonder, did you have anybody specific in mind when discussing the drugged out/doped up people who want to take credit for the social revolutions of the 1960s that changed our society for the better? I'm reminded of a certain chap with delusions of hippie grandeur of cosmic proportions.  |
Actually---i didn't---but the shoe sure does fit if you ask me!
I did however, have in mind a particular hero who is related to a poster here---(not for me to disclose). He has survived his time in Iraq now--or just about now---and he is my idea of a TRUE hero!!!
But --- he won't get any props cause all he did was risk his life (which he was NOT required to do) to make sure that as many of our kids as possible could make it home!
He could be my president anyday of the week! But his sort of HEROISM does not involve blowing his own horn every 15 minutes!
