patriot? My dictionary defines patriot as "one who loves his country and zealously defends its authority and interests". Does this describe Senator Kerry? Is Lee Harvey Oswald a patriot? Oswald was a veteran. Kerry is a veteran who became a traitor to his country.
"As a veteran of World War II..."
I'd have guessed Spanish-American War. Foolish old fart.
I think the thing that irritates me the most about his response is his repeating the mnatra that Bush is divisive.
I am getting pretty sick of Democrats saying that. I mean the whole notion of such a comment is just stupid. Divisive why..because you disagree with him?...I mean come on. Spare me. Liberals call Bush a Facist but HE is the one being divisive...So in short the only way we can not have a "divisive president" is to elect one that the democrats will like. And the notion that he is the most divisive ever..I mean spare me. What was he asleep during the clinton years...or has he completely forgotten that half the country despised him.. These sort of comments are as pathetic as they are vapid and dishonest.
Many years ago I worked for Lautenberg when he was running ADP. He was a complete and embarrasing bore that took every opportunity to drone on and on. He has not changed.
I had considered writing a letter to Senator Lautenberg to take him to task (from the "left") for insinuating that FDR was a 'chickenhawk'. I don't remember FDR having served in the military (although I might be mistaken)... The vile words that he used apply equally well to FDR, who, no doubt, is one of Lautenberg's heroes.
