Spit on anyones grave in Arlington Cemetery (which is where
he's going) and I'm sure there will be plenty of people
around that will make sure that you see the error of your
ways.
Guards do not patrol the cemetery. Only the tomb of the unknown
soldier is guarded. There may be people walking around, but not to
enforce appropriate behavior.
I'm well aware of the type of people you find at Arlington
and I wasn't talking about guards. I was talking about all
the living veterans that are there visiting that would not
take too kindly to someone spitting on the grave of a fellow
veteran.

I was not in the military but I have been to Arlington. I'm
not a religious guy but it was probably the closest thing to
a "religious experience" that I've ever had, and if I saw
someone spitting on the grave of a veteran, no matter their
political affiliation, at the very least, there would be
words exchanged.

And I feel the same way. But, Arlington is seldom crowded, and there
are many times when no one is around or is watching.

If I saw someone spitting on the grave of a fellow veteran, I'd react
like you would.
Ted Kennedy? --

So if there not a veteran, it's fair game?

If you're not a veteran, the only way you get into Arlington
is walking through the front gate.

Ted Kennedy was a veteran.

Well, sort of. Right after he was expelled from Harvard for
cheating, he enlisted for four years, then got the old man to get
his hitch shortened to two. While most Army recruits were headed to
Korea and other hot spots, Kennedy went to France. After two years
service, he was still a Private.





Kennedy spent 47 years serving his country in the U.S. Senate. You
left that Carolina PD after a few years. And your departure was
"sudden."

Kennedy should have spent 39 years serving time in the Mass. State Pen.


Amen to serving time. As usual, Harry attacks the messengers while
ignoring the corrupt lberaltards' misdeeds.


Told you before, I don't take right-wing trash posters like you
seriously. You'd think that after being told that directly at least a
dozen times, you'd get it.

Psssst Harry. I don't think he's paying much attention to you. He's
probably like the rest of us who just skim over your babble looking for
something to taunt you with. It's something that doesn't take much
effort but it's very rewarding.

National Credibility. Is that when you put a guy in jail for life for

on compassionate reasons because he has terminal cancer and is going to
die in three months?

only robert ballard can answer that.

Not sure what you mean by the Bush Rationale,

Since you'e speaking nicely...

The 'Bush Rationale' is the reason many liberals provide for any
negative critique of an Obama action.

I believe that is from a right-wing talking point. There's no shortage of
criticism of Obama from the left.

For example, "You didn't say anything when Bush did it." Or, "Bush did
it, so it's OK if Obama does it too." Hopefully you get the idea.

And, as I've said, I'm willing and able to call Obama on crap that's either
a hold-over from the Bush years or newly implemented along the same lines.
There are very few people who believe that Obama is perfect, I certainly am
not among them.

As I've said before, for you guys - yourself, w3fh, Harry, etc. - a
'debate' consists of personal insults and name-calling.

I absolutely reject that line of reasoning or implication. I don't engage in
such behavior. Feel free to show otherwise. I can't speak for others.

And, for the record, Bush may have screwed up a few things during his
eight year tenure. But, Bush is gone. Obama is trying damn hard to
catch up in his first 3/4 of a year.

A few things???? Yeah, a few things like a war of choice and a war of
necessity, like ruining the economy, like taking approximately 1/3 of his
time in office as vacation, like lying to the American public, like spying
on Americans, like engaging in intense cronyism, like promoting and
condoning torture, and on and on and on.


since Bush's "rationale" was
based on a twisted notion of religion mixed with failed economics and
fear-stoking actions.

If you'd like to debate things that Obama has done or not done that are
good
or not good for the country, and you're willing to actually cite
verifiable
facts, there's room for discussion. There are plenty of facts from Bush's
8
years worthy of debate, including some things that might be construed as
"good" for America (in my opinion of course). A quick example is the
African
AIDS program (except for the insertion of "abstinance" requirements).
There
are a plethora of facts/decisions he and his admin made that were terrible
(my opinion and the demonstrable results)... no need to repeat them, as
I'm
sure we're all familar with them.

I have an all access pass to Arlington National Cemetery.

I will ensure that Teddy's grave is appropriately watered.

I may stand corrected. If so, I apologize. You're much different from

Again, Bush is history.
