I agree with the number 1 pick, but I thought Dispatch's The General would make it up there too...

Which reminds me of Steve Earle's "Johnny Come Lately." “My main point was that today you can go to any major airport and watch returning Iraq & Afghanistan soldiers being welcomed home by hundreds of strangers

Looks like it's set during the 60's Vietnam era probably trying to avoid the whole Iraq war issue. http://pulsemusic.proboards48.com./index.cgi?board=country&action=display&thread=61360&page=6#1668510 Leaked pix from Carrie’s soon to be released video of “Just A Dream”.

I have never heard any liberal say anything remotely like that." The term 'baby killers' was a derogatory term used to identify Vietnam era veterans returning from the war by college age protesters who were in opposition to the draft. I doubt if it's used much today...thank goodness! “Liberals only call service members “baby killers” in the fever dreams of the right wing.

Liberals only call service members "baby killers" in the fever dreams of the right wing. I have never heard any liberal say anything remotely like that. The greatest disrespect that can be paid to our soldiers is to lie to them and their fellow Americans about why they’re being sent into harm’s way. This administration abused the sacred trust between our government and its military by doing that. “all liberal’s even if they call themselves democrats are they one’s calling our service members baby killer’s …”

I'm fine with differences of opinion regarding the war and the Bush administration. I even understand where both sides are coming. I, however, take real issue with people who blanketly assert that "liberals" are anti American. When someone makes such a disparaging argument, it's really difficult for me not to automatically disregard everything he says. It's one thing to say that liberals are misinformed by left wing propaganda or that they are radicals, or whatever. It's one thing to even suggest that they have an agenda. But to say that they are anti American is absolutely unfair and, frankly, ignorant. My mind will not be changed on this point. So, for me, this conversation is over. I rarely say that, but I feel confident in saying it this time, because your assertion, Dan, is not up for debate for me. I’m really okay with political differences.
