Decorated veteran to liberal Democrat...talk about hero to zero.

Please permit me to make slight correction: hero and zero. One does not negate the other.

Proof of this is we now have John Kerry as secretary of state

Our friends (those who remain) must be laughing their asses off...

Our enemies must be doing a Jihad two step...

O'Wait....dancing will get their heads whacked off...

And IMHO, that WWII, Greatest Generation hero devolved into a tax-and-spend, play-Santa Claus, vote-buying liberal political hack right up there with Ted Kennedy, et al.

I’ll never forget the hell he raised over Watergate, hounding Nixon right out of office for what amounted to a college fraternity panty raid; But when Slick Willie was selling missile secrets to the Ching-Changs, and overnights in the Lincoln Bedroom for campaign contributions, and seasoning cigars and getting hummers in the Oval Office, all we heard out of Senator In-No-Way, et al was the chirping of crickets.

Amen. (Your) brevity is the soul of wit.

I expressed a similar opinion in #25 below, but needed far more words to do it.

To the Left, owning slaves negates everything George Washington and Thomas Jefferson ever did...

...but we ain't them so I both honor and spit on Inouye’s legacy.

Hard to praise a man that enslaved us with Obamacare.

Not yet. Lurch could stagger into a doorpost. Or a Republican senator could demand his DD214.

Dan Inouye and his group were sent to rescue another unit from Texas. The Army sacrificed Asian Americans to save ‘real’ Americans.

I seriously doubt whether the area commander had on his mind anything but the operational situation and his available forces.

Intel is late-developing and available reserves are not-quite-enough. Always. S.O.P.

That's like being patronized and reviewed by the town slacker.

Maybe when Barky speaks at better men's funerals, they should refer to his remarks as an "egology" or as, simply, "stinking up the room."

<presiding minister>

"President Obama will now stink up the room."
