Big Al,
This is not your list, but then I doubt that you will see this message  
because I'm probably on your shit list also. Yo bad. You are missing out on a  lot 
of good conversations. You do not have the right to tell people to stay off  
our mailing list. If you don't believe me, just press the issue and see what  
happens.

Dear  Todd,
Although I agree with your point I have directed mail from your  address to

non-Rhodes related message which comes in on the internet. And  the same for you 
others below. Stay off our mailing list place.

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Bush's service record-  Political? (was This day 
inhistory)


I usually do not get  involved in these (political) discussions. 

No one here is  touting George W. Bush's great service record but al least
he HAS a  service record.  Most of the people that blast Wubya's service
record are the same ones that voted for and defended Bill Clinton.   While
we are talking about Presidents that are criminals??   Clinton was a felon
draft dodger until Jimmy Carter pardoned him in  1977.

What ever happened to changing the subject lines and labels?

Todd

1) That  specific line is purely a joke based on the current political
musings. If you don't get it (no matter how bad it might be) then I
guess
the joke is on you.

2)  Please do not tout Bush as some great 'serviceman'. He was a
silver spoon
'bubba' that was a war dodger, period. In fact I  would hold up Rev
Wrights 6
years of Marine  service over Bushes questionable Texas Air Guard.
Hey, he  is
the one that classified the information. If you are so  proud why hide
it.

3) I am connected to  many people that are lefties, righties,
libertarians
and just plain crazies. I have yet to meet even  one person amongst
them that
doubts the  sincerity and efforts made by the our armed forces. So
unless  you
have specifics and not generalizations of 'lefties  against the
troops' , you
can finally pull  that particular pickle out.

4) Early in the primaries  (Feb) the troops themselves number one
candidate
per actual monetary donation (not easy on military pay) was Ron  Paul,
who
never supported Iraq and wants  them out immediately. Second was
Barack
Obama.

5) I am extremely proud of our military, but not  the Commander in
Chief. He
should be held  accountable and tried for Crimes against the
Constitution
(the document he swore to uphold) and he is  already in serious legal
trouble
now trying  to cover his personal ass. Even many mainstream
conservatives
were mind blown that the President gave a tax  cut to the wealthy at a
time
during wartime  (unprecedented in US history) when documented evidence
of
lack of troop supplies and equipment existed.  Ridiculous.

6) Finally, many of us (81% and rising) feel  the country is on the
wrong
track.  Nationalistic pride without any reflection on errors, is the
hallmark of a "true-believer". Time to grow up and realize that
America can
and does make mistakes and healthy  reflection, criticism and
correction are
not  only patriotic, but morally necessary.
