Barbara Boxer: Serving in Uniform Just Like Being a Politician
big government ^ | 7/31/10 | Paul Chabot

Posted on 07/31/2010 10:04:21 PM PDT by Nachum

During a campaign stop in Inglewood, California this past weekend, Barbara Boxer’s disrespectful attitude toward our armed forces was on full display when she equated the experiences of Members of Congress with the experiences of those who have put their lives on the line serving our country in uniform.

Boxer said this, at an event during which she was supposed to help break ground on new housing for homeless veterans:

“We know that if you have veterans in one place where they can befriend each other and talk to each other. You know when you’ve gone through similar things you need to share it. I don’t care whether you are a policeman or a fireman or a veteran or by chance a member of Congress. Maxine and I could look at each other and roll our eyes. We know what we are up against. And it is hard for people who are not there to understand the pressure and the great things that go along with it and the tough things that go along with it.”

Well, except for that traitor thing, Benedict Arnold actually did have an excellent record of heroic service. We can’t even say that much for *certain* members of Congress.

“I can’t really articulate why she offends me above even Pelosi, Schumer or any number of awful pols.”

Maybe because of Boxer’s ability to project both her ignorance and arrogance all in one sentence, and in sentence after sentence, ad nausium.

That Bitch is not worthy of tying the shoes of anyone that honorable served in the military.

That could be it. Every sentence she spouts not only drips with contempt for the American people, but with her complete sense of superiority to all even as she speaks nonsense.

Ignorance + Arrogance = A tough mix to beat.

Is this an old story or did she say it again?

Boxer actually adds a third dimension of repugnance: she is plain stupid. In fact, she is far too stupid to recognize how ignorant she is, so she feels arrogantly superior.

Let’s dedicate ourselves to coloring her GONE!
