So let me quote for you “wingers” what I think is the most unpatriotic example of how a “real” scumbag works in deceiving “dittos”.” “..You fly down along the Mall and see the monument to George Washington, a structure as grand as the man himself. To the north is the White House, where John Adams once prayed “that none but honest and wise men may ever rule under this roof.” Next you see the memorial to Thomas Jefferson, the third president……Then you cross the Potomac, on approach to the Pentagon. But just before you settle down on the landing pad, you look upon Arlington National Cemetery, its gentle slopes and crosses row on row. I never once made that trip without being reminded how enormously fortunate we all are to be Americans, and what a terrible price thousands have paid so that all of us…and millions more around the world..might have freedom.” Why is it that “scumbags” and crooks have to mention pray, honest and wise men in conjunction with serving in the White House? If Bill Clinton has uttered these words, Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck and all the “dittos” would have assailed him with an attack on the nerve of this man to blaspheme all those men and women who gave their life so that all of us could have freedom. Forget for a moment that this was Dick Cheney uttering these words and for a person who is so concerned about a terrible price to be paid but when given the chance to serve he had better things to do. Forget that Cheney avoided the military, but never forget that he is a scumbag to utter these words about such a patriotic site.
