oh. that's ok then.
Nah, no one would want to risk hitting the other guys on the boat....
Intent is everything
I am three score plus, I have always known the bias of the MSM. But my G_D, it is so blantant this election it borders on the surreal. I have never seen such desperation from a group so determined at any cost devoid of impartiality to get their chosen one into the WH that it staggers the mind.
What is saddest of all, the sheeple will follow like lambs to the knife.
It is also now clear that the desruction of the SBVfT (and take GW with) is the MSM mission of the moment. If the SWBfT have ammunition in the locker, they had better deliver a broad side now, for in the minds of the sheeple, their ship is going down fast.
Time for wife & I once again to decide, will it be Medicine, food, or donate to the SBVfT? Hell, those are not viable options, off goes another debit card reduction to the SBVfT.
Purple Hearts can be awarded for friendly fire accidents if the fire was intended for the enemy. I honestly don't know if Bob Dole got a Purple Heart, but he was injured in the heat of battle. There's a world of difference between tossing a grenade while goofing around with bags of rice, and tossing a grenade while pinned to the ground.
Friendly fire and self inflicted are two different things.
I am sure you cannot get a medal for injuring yourself when not in combat with the enemy.
Great...now I have to clean my keyboard and monitor, good thing is was unsweetened tea or you'd owe me a keyboard : )
Sorry, the rice destruction wasn't done during a battle. There was no enemy there when they were doing it.
Destroying rice caches would have been an incredibly stupid thing to be doing while under fire.
I tend to see Hillary as someone who would only step in to 'save the party' if she could avoid the vetting process...she has been laying low and working hard at saying the right things this past 2 years...her entrance into this race would energize the Democratic voters to come out in droves IMHO...if she could be annointed while avoiding a primary contest I think she'd jump at the chance.
