I think this applies to how Liberals see the Middle Class and Americans workers in general. Is there a single Liberal cause that HASN’T damaged the Middle Class?

Pick a cause.....any cause.

I was curious about "William S. Becker" so I Googled him. In more than one reference, it is stated that "He served in South Viet Nam and earned a bronze star as a war correspondent.

I have no idea whether it is real or not but this is the first time I've heard of anyone who is a "war correspondent" getting a bronze star for their reporting.

It would be enlightening to see the citation that backs up this claim.

Don’t liberals see that when people are impoverished, Mother Earth suffers?

They were spoiled by having a middle class that behaved (sorting recyclables, hunting in season, etc.). That nonsense is history when people are in self-preservation mode...

I don’t know, but ‘writing’ can get you a Bronze Star?

I don’t know.

I have occasion to travel through coal country several times a year. Around election time you see a lot of stop the war on coal signs.

Lots of union workers.

Lots of them still vote Democrat in spite of losing their jobs.

There’s even union talk radio out there.

I just don’t know.

I doubt writing could earn one a bronze star, but stars and Stripes reporters are military and could have done other than just write in the course of a battle.

It is possible.

That’s the same thing the Free Trade crowd calls them.

Yes, it is possible. I’d still like to see the citation, and whether it was for Valor or some other type.

My Dad was a Medic in Army during WW2 and earned several medals, including a bronze star on Omaha beach.

I wasn’t defending the schmuck, just pointing out that it would be possible.

Yes, I can certainly understand getting one for assistance to others as a medic under fire. I was mainly curious to find out exactly how a correspondent earned a bronze star and wanted to know more. AFIC, medic and correspondent aren’t synonymous. The two aren’t even close.

They don’t really look at them as “collateral damage”—more like a recruiting opportunity. Make them feel like victims, put them on disability, food stamps and section 8 housing. And, like magic, you have a Democratic voter for life.

This might offer some insight into it...

I guess, in the eyes of the new progressive Republican Party, conservative ideals are to be considered “collateral damage”, as well.
