“I mean, come on! McCain’s soooo out of touch that he must not even know how much arugula costs at Whole Foods! And he doesn’t know how to send an e-mail? What a loser! Scarlet Johanson just sent me an email saying that that has GOT to be the final nail in the coffin of his campaign! Make me an ad about how out of touch he is with that!”

If anything, Obummer shows a lack of respect for the military. He and his lackeys have no understanding of the Vietnam War (as do many Americans), what POW’s like McCain went through, and the price (injuries/life) they paid for the treatment they suffered under the North Vietnamese (Viet Cong). Obummer’s campaign is a signal of the deep divide between the American civilian and military populations.

As a military spouse, I’ve seen that Obummer doesn’t care if convenient lies get in the way of truth. When Obummer takes advice from the likes of Merrill McPeak and some Naval officers but no one who’s ever been on the ground, then it’s a token show of understanding of what the military represents and means to its veterans.

It’s deeply disturbing to me that people like Burton can bloviate about something the campaign is arrogant enough to assert and avoid when it suits them.

It’s a tough lesson for millions of students just now arriving on campus: even if you have a high sc…

Stupid swaggering on the deck of the Abraham Lincoln ten miles off the coast of San Diego is not the same as keeping us safe.

As for “making lots of people want to kill us,” perhaps you should look up some of the Arab commentary about the decline of morality from Hollywood movies and television, the realm of the Hollyweird liberal “elite.”

Since “swaggering on the deck of the Abraham Lincoln” has actually worked quite well in stopping Islamists from another attack on American soil for over 7 years, I say “keep on swaggering, Mr. President and thank you!”

McCain served this country with honor so give me a break if he chooses not to learn about these evil things…

But McCain does know about computers, and e-mail, and the world wide web, as clearly delineated in two articles published in 2000. From Forbes:

In certain ways, McCain was a natural Web candidate. Chairman of the Senate Telecommunications Subcommittee and regarded as the U.S. Senate’s savviest technologist, McCain is an inveterate devotee of email. His nightly ritual is to read his email together with his wife, Cindy. The injuries he incurred as a Vietnam POW make it painful for McCain to type. Instead, he dictates responses that his wife types on a laptop. “She’s a whiz on the keyboard, and I’m so laborious,” McCain admits.

And from Slate:

Six months ago, no one would have pegged McCain as the most cybersavvy of this year’s crop of candidates. At 63, he is the oldest of the bunch and because of his war injuries, he is limited in his ability to wield a keyboard. But McCain’s job as chairman of the Senate commerce committee forced him to learn about the Internet early on, and young Web entrepreneurs such as Jerry Yang and Jeff Bezos fascinate him. Well before he announced his exploratory committee, McCain had assimilated the notion that the Web could be vital to the kind of insurgent, anti-establishment campaign he wanted to run…

Anyone who’s read either of those articles would know that John McCain is not the Luddite that Burton and the Obama camp would have the voting public believe he is.

Easy. Bush ignored the memo “Bin Laden determined to strike … ”

Apparently, so did Clinton. He had the clear opportunity to take out OBL and blew the chance. Result: 2800+ people dead.

Then he got us into a war with a country that did not attack us but did make lots more people want to kill us.

Bosnia anyone? Do you need the list of quotes from Democrats on Iraq?

Stupid swaggering on the deck of the Abraham Lincoln ten miles off the coast of San Diego is not the same as keeping us safe.

Swaggering = walking in Texas and other parts of the U.S. I suppose in your neighborhood, liberal mincing and prancing are the norm.

As for “making lots of people want to kill us,” perhaps you should look up some of the Arab commentary about the decline of morality from Hollywood movies and television, the realm of the Hollyweird liberal “elite.”

I remember lots of effigies of Clinton being burned in unnamed parts of the world too.

“Bin Laden determined to strike … ”

Last time I checked that was a statement of intent. That is about as specific as “Hope and Change.” I am glad you think the President of the US is clairvoyant enough to understand the details of the 9/11 attack plan based on that factoid. No wonder you feel the need for a near diety to be your President.

On September 12, 2001, my wife asked me what was going to happen after 9/11. My answer at that time was, “We will go into Afghanistan to take out Bin Laden, if possible, and the Taliban. We will also invade Iraq.” That was a no brainer.

I thought Clinton was ineffective in dealing with terrorists. However, I never blamed him for Americans dying. I blamed the enemy. But to you people like us are your enemy. That is confirmed by your response. Not one harsh word about the people who killed your neighbors. Astounding.

“It’s for the children.”You’ve already heard the story, but there
are some vital points still left unsaid or not said often and loudly enough.
Just one example of which is that – just as we’ve failed to brand our enemies in
the War on Islami…

LGM,

If the assumption is correct that you live in Manhattan, I have a more fundamental question for you.

If you live literally “down the street” from a location where you saw over 2,800 people (gore omitted) how in the world can you side with the political faction that Barack Obama represents?

Hey Barack, Jimmy Carter’s on the phone. He’s wants his bitter resentment and failed policies back. Do you want to take the call?

Yup – and call me crazy, IAS, but I got this bizarre notion that the President Of The United States dictates his correspondence to a….what do they call em….oh, yeah – secretaries or assistants or sumthin’ like that. Could it be that just after someone is sworn in as POTUS they don’t set him down at a corner desk in the secretrial pool? Ya think??

If you live literally “down the street” from a location where you saw over 2,800 people butchered; torn to pieces, burned alive, plunge to their deaths, etc. how in the world can you side with the political faction that Barack Obama represents?

To me the denial that NY liberals have and the the evil they marginalize is surreal.
