Thanks, man. Means a lot in these later years. Screw that, I’m only 63!

Now, I have met some truly fine general officers in my time. One of them was the Judge Advocate General of the Army. I was attending the JAG School (not a lawyer) & I asked him if soldiers really had to park their 1st Amendment rights while deployed when a politician came to visit. He replied that we were free to speak our minds & disagree as long as we didn’t conclude each sentence with “you no-good liberal SOB!!”

The TJAG then informed me he was on his way to D.C. to testify before the Senate Armed Services Committee where his chief opponent was Sen. Edward (The Swimmer) Kennedy. It was obvious that the General despised Kennedy but knew just how to make his contempt known “with all due respect”.

;^)

>> The administration pressures Florida Pastor as Google posts the film in the Middle East.

I hope you’re not implying a conspiracy to incite an attack against US interests.

It’s one thing to criticize public statements made by politicians, but something completely different to allege that a private corporation is complicit in an International act of aggression that resulted in the rape and murder of 4 US citizens.

Google is a great American company despite its Liberal leaning. I’m very uncomfortable with what you’re suggesting.

If you consider Google the company that “released” it. I saw the thread. It is a stretch.
