Quick! What's the difference between Ted Kennedy and an Iraqi fighter pilot? Unlike the Iraqi, Teddy has one kill.
I hope you people from Taxachusetts are proud. Back during the Revolutionary War you had Sam Adams, Paul Revere, and many other patriots. You gave us the Boston Tea Party. You gave us presidents, John and John Quincy Adams. And now what? A bloated drunken Senator Ted "the swimmer" Kennedy and a flip-flopping traitorous bastard like John Fonda Kerry.
But Kerry was a war hero. Yep. He was. So was Benedict Arnold before he became a turncoat. And Kerry became a turncoat too when he joined Jane Fonda and VVAW and protested against the war.
But now, Taxachusetts has yet another thing to be proud of. Have y'all seen this? (You may have problems linking due to high traffic)
Some asshat at UMass named, Rene Gonzales, wrote an op-ed for the UMass newpaper blasting Pat Tillman.
When the death of Pat Tillman occurred, I turned to my friend who was watching the news with me and said, "How much you want to bet they start talking about him as a ’hero’ in about two hours?" Of course, my friend did not want to make that bet. He’d lose. In this self-critical incapable nation, nothing but a knee-jerk "He’s a hero" response is to be expected.
What do you want to bet this dipstick idolizes cowards like Bill Clinton?
I’ve been mystified at the absolute nonsense of being in "awe" of Tillman’s "sacrifice" that has been the American response.
And I'm mystified that people like you even exist in this country. I hope the people of Puero Rico are proud of you also you booger eatin' moh-ron. Many people died to give you the opportunity to write asinine bullshit like this.
True, it’s not everyday that you forgo a $3.6 million contract for joining the military. And, not just the regular army, but the elite Army Rangers. You know he was a real Rambo, who wanted to be in the "real" thick of things. I could tell he was that type of macho guy, from his scowling, beefy face on the CNN pictures.
I wonder what this person looks like? I don't know if Rene is a man or a woman. If a man, he is probably a real pussy.
But, does that make him a hero? I guess it’s a matter of perspective. For people in the United States, who seem to be unable to admit the stupidity of both the Afghanistan and Iraqi wars, such a trade-off in life standards (if not expectancy) is nothing short of heroic. Obviously, the man must be made of "stronger stuff" to have had decided to "serve" his country rather than take from it. It’s the old JFK exhortation to citizen service to the nation, and it seems to strike an emotional chord. So, it’s understandable why Americans automatically knee-jerk into hero worship.
It is amazing that the Dimocrat Party has morphed from Kennedy's "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" to "I am entitled, gimme, gimme, gimme." But Rene is beyond hero worship. He is so much better than us dumb patriotic Americans. He is, after all, a graduate student.
However, in my neighborhood in Puerto Rico, Tillman would have been called a "pendejo," an idiot.
And you Rene, are a fucking cobron.
I cannot post any more since it just keeps getting worse. Rene is a Puero Rican living the good life at UMass. He is enjoying all the rights and privileges of living in America and has the gall to make fun of someone who was not afraid to put his life on the line for his country. He obviously hates America and all that it stands for. He deserves a oneway trip back to Puerto Rico.
I'll even pay for it.
