she hates everything..........
We came across this at the Corner, from Kathryn Jean Lopez, an excerpt from a Huffington Post blog entry by one Sarah Stillman, who is a tad peeved at the world:
http://www.dinocrat.com/archives/2005/07/30/the-delightful-sarah-stillman/
a snip of this female creatures writing:
I’m already feeling pretty annoyed that the cheapest way I can get to Leon, Mexico for a conference on feminist resistance to U.S. imperialism and corporate globalization is by flying through RONALD REAGAN NATIONAL AIRPORT AND GEORGE BUSH INTERCONTINENTAL AIRPORT. But this is further compounded by the realization that my own speechlessness about Reagan’s unforgivable role in Central America reflects a much larger, collective inability of the left to combat national amnesia about the Great Communicator’s true legacy. Even more abstractly, it reminds me of our failure to hold U.S. imperial presidencies accountable for the terror they’ve incited and continue to incite — from the fincas of El Salvador to the trenches of Iraq to the militarized ghettoes here at home….
And so, I’m writing you not only for the sake of catharsis, but also to pledge that I won’t stop searching for the right words to address all future Reagan-lionizing golfer ladies until I can fly from Delores Huerta National Airport to Emma Goldman Internationalism Airport, where passports will be optional and “Ronald Reagan” will be nothing more than a brand of sanitary napkin disposal bins.

You chose it to be your focus!
Well, right off the top of my head, I can think of documentaries about Civil War vets becoming dope addicts because of the morphine used in battlefield surgeries; WWI vets coming home with shell shock and gas poisonings; Viet Nam vets with all sorts of mental and drug abnormalities, and even "Gulf War Syndrome" from the first Iraq conflict. I'm sure if we looked further, we could find problems from every other war in our (and other countries') histories.
A true liberal mindset.
The author is simply suffering from a case of n00b impatience and lack of conviction - in other words, a total absence of personal attitudes and characteristics which are needed to get the job done.
Perhaps Ms. Stillman should watch the following movie:
“The Best Years of Our Lives” 1946 - it won 7 Oscars when it was released and is a dramatic depiction of what WWII soldiers had to deal with adjusting back into their civilian lives. War and human nature don’t really change that much.
Ms. Stillman seems to be young, dumb and ugly - not a good combo.

If done right, she could be cured of that.
Journalist writes scathing article criticizing manly soldiers in hopes of getting her first date.
To every lie there is some small kernel of truth.
There is a long list of problems facing our returning troops from war. One of which is called PTSD. It a lone can be a major cause of substance abuse among our returning heros. Also they maybe dealing with unknown head/brain injuries, that have not yet been detected. These plus a long host of others are going to tax the va & their familes & friends for a very long time. While these folks deal with the horrors of war [up close and very personal]. We need to cut these folks some slack and over look some things for a while.
Army suicide rates, adjusted for age and sex, are LOWER, I said LOWER than their civilian counterparts.
But the WaPo CENSORED that fact because it might interfere with their troop-hating orgasm.
Veterans are not victims, they are heroes who willingly place themselves between you and those who want to hurt you and all you do is pity them?
That's because she's a narcissistic elitist h03bag.
(she thinks she's better than everyone else).
It's usually a life-long disease.
I think Perdogg would be more than willing to help, ..... right? :)
It's just never good enough for some.
The drive to focus on the negative aspects of life by some is more of an issue than war IMO.
A 1946 movie, “The Best Years of Our Lives” dramatized troubles 3 returning WW2 Vets were having. It seems that even they weren’t initially so well thought of.
I am getting the feeling that she has lived a very privileged life. Do you have any parental or grandparental information on her life? Where did she go to high school just a few short years ago? thanks in advance. Healy
The “disease” is caused liberalism. It is curable, but it often takes some catastrophic event to trigger the treatment.
In Stillman’s case, as with many others (Clinton, Kerry, Kennedy, Pelosi, Reid, Murtha etc) they ignore the treatment available and rely on their kook aid.
Just as the left slimed the Vietnam vets, they will do the same to the heroes of this current conflict.
