And sending over 3,800 soldiers to their death is patriotic? Patriotism in based on deeds, and actions. Not having a flag on your lapel or putting your hand on your chest is about as helpful as those stupid yellow ribbons.
That story is a few weeks old and it still has not traction. No one cares.
Gee, I wonder if a bunch of people will use this to make a big deal out of nothing.
🙄
In the mean time, I'll go back to concerning myself with things that actually matter.

As a Jew, I sure as hell get irritated when people wish me "Merry Christmas." Who are they to assume I'm a Christian? Who are they to assume everyone's a Christian? I'm sure if I were Christian, I'd feel exactly the same way. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot.
During the Clinton years, almost all military deaths were caused by illness, accident, suicide, or homicide. Only 59 were due to enemy action.I take it you are referring to Bill Clinton's dead American boy count?
Oh you mean those serious sorts of things that matter like this.....?![]()
The only ones making a big deal of it (ot at least they are trying too) are the conservatives like Oreilly and Limbaugh. The liberals who will vote for him do not watch it and they could care less about the patriotism BS. Given that he has raised over $80 which is 2 or 3 times more than any conservative has raised, I don't think he is too worried about the petty stuff.
