That's a lie, a demonstrable lie, and you should be ashamed to
say it. You're quite the GOP tool, Louie. Bad-mouthing GOP war
veterans is beyond the pale but swiftboating a Democrat is just
hunky-dory. John Kerry is a war hero and a patriot.

Er, no. ...

Another GOP tool heard from.

But there's absolutely nothing
"heroic" about it, either.

Some would claim there's nothing particularly "heroic" about
having your airplane shot out of the sky.

And they would be correct - there was nothing "heroic" about McCain's
being shot down. It was particular actions while he was a POW, among
other acts, that were heroic.

You will never get it, Ken. ...
Oh, I get it alright.

No, you absolutely do not "get it"...but if it makes you feel any
better, Dave doesn't "get it" either.

So tell us, who does "get it" ? Who has the whole god, country,
patriotic, geopolitical, post-national, globally intertwined,
twenty-first century political philosophy all figured out ?

I'm gonna go with Jessica Simpson...the way I figure it, she'd probably
believe it, and hey, it could lead to some nekkididity on her part...

I'd like to meet that guy (or gal).

Me, too - see above Ms. Simpson...

I guess it's like art and porn - I can't define it, but I sure as hell
know it when I see it, and much like a nekkid Ms. Simpson, I enjoy
seeing it...the art and the porn as well as the understanding of
heroism, I mean. And neither you nor Dave "get it" when it comes to
heroism.

HTH,
