Silly Soldiers

Mike Shelton Political Cartoon

Had to add this cartoon by Michael Shelton when I saw it today (11/2). It perfectly shows Kerry’s elitist attitude. Lucky for him, those troops aren’t armed!

Trish, at least these guys and gals had a sense of humor about it. I know a lot are very angry because it was a slam on the military whether he said it purposely or not.

That’s what I thought, Stew! That’s why I had to post it after I saw GOP & College’s post!

Clearly, they are being antagonistic!

It’s all a right wing conspiracy anyway. Everyone knows Senator Carry luvs us military folk, both active duty, Retired and vets like yours truly.

Stewing in sarcasm are we, Gawfer? Kerry is such an idiot. He really doesn’t think and because of his previous comments about the military, no one believes his explanation now and he’s ticked about it…tough!

I LOVE it! What a message to JK and the Left! I imagine they will blame President Bush and Karl Rove for putting the troops up to it.

I agree Lady Jane. I haven’t heard them blaming Bush for the banner, but I have heard a call for Bush to apologize for putting the troops there! Sheesh…it’s the same all the time!

Thank you, Patty and I agree! I love their sarcasm and humor!

Very true, Word! I saw it on Brit Hume, Neil Cavuto, The Big Story, Studio B and the entire evening line-up! And that doesn’t even take into account the blogosphere!

Oh, he’s so busted! And it couldn’t happen to a better felloooww.
I was furious and then I saw the banner from the troops and it saved my blood pressure. It’s everywhere!!
It’s been fun listening to the left trying to make it what it wasn’t, before it was.

Yankeemom, it really couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. To try and brush it off as a misunderstanding when he’s made other derogatory comments about our military.

this liberal democrat can really burn one’s toast.

simply an outrage, and yet, seeing many liberal democrat responses on the www, they believe this slander of AMERICA’s Finest and Bravest.

makes one sick to the stomach.

how can we get the vote out ANNA?

how can we inspire everyone to rebuke this Democrat Garbage?

can we make history in a few days?

I don’t know BB. I know that the “State of Ohio Blogger Alliance” is doing calls and door-to-doors for the election. But if someone like George Allen loses to that slime Webb, it will be a very sad day, indeed. Talk to your family, friends and neighbors. I was doing that yesterday…my mom-in-law goes by the “alphabet” channels for news so I was trying to rebuke some of the stuff she had been hearing. Just do your best with those around you…engage, that’s all we can do!

If I had to choose between a thousand words from Anna or the picture, I would have a very very Hard time choosing.

John Kerry Apology

I saw this over at A Rose by Any Other Name and couldn’t resist posting it. Like Anna said, it just so perfectly shows Kerry’s elitist attitude.

Excellent Job! I find it so funny that John Kerry is thought to be so smart…. Newsflash, Bush had better grades (Kerry had more D’s than Bush and a lower overall GPA despite easier coursework), and when a comparative IQ test was done on the two (based on the military tests that were given to both men upon entering military service), guess who came out on top….Bush. Here’s an interesting read….

Yes, so many love to call Bush an idiot and stupid, but IQ, education and intellectually, he’s above those calling him stupid!
on November 7, 2006 at 5:36 pm | Reply Ymarsakar

The reason they call him stupid is because Bush actually liked serving as a pilot, instead of doing the smart thing like Kerry, and only using military service as a way to jump start his political career.

It is also because the rich and elite folks, see how the Bushies live, and they are totally disgused by these hillbilly ignoramuses. Well they must be ignoramuses, only ignoramuses would not live in huge mansions and be using their Presidential powers and family powers to good (corruptive) effect.

Look at Valerie Plame, wheeling and dealing, compared to Bush’s honest way of life. Bush must be a liar, cause if he isn’t, then what does that make Valerie Plame and all the other rich blokes on the Left?

Teresa Heinz Kerry. Married into the Heinz fortune, then Kerry married into the Teresa fortune.

Then look at Bush’s family. See any difference?
on November 8, 2006 at 12:58 am | Reply Anna

Very good point, Ymarsakar! They don’t want to be labeled as evil or corrupt, so they do the blaming first!

Oh, Teresa isn’t Kerry’s first big-money bride, either! He was married to another wealthy woman (Julia Thorne) before Teresa, so he’s been a “kept man” since 1970.

Like that picture with brad pitt emulating the fashion sense of his various girlfriends and wives.

I haven’t seen it, but then, I’m not big on the “Hollywood Happenings.” It’s La-La Land out there and I’ll just leave them to it!
