Man, so much of what this arrogant, ungrateful brat said is rotten, how do you narrow it down? As a military wife, one big irritant is when guys like this have the b*lls to try to tell us what the troops need, think or feel. With so much of that bombarding us daily from the main stream media, most of us live feeling very separate from the rest of the U.S. I read boards like this because it reminds me that plenty of folks outside the military community are great, supportive people.

"They're telling me to leave the country, which sounded good at first because I thought they meant a vacation. But they didn't mean a vacation," he said. The columnist said he suspected the reaction was largely fueled by the Web sites, adding: "My guess is that it will die down pretty quickly."

If you to the South, they have not forgotten the Civil War, and they will not admit losing it.

The Marines in Iraq have to put up with Kevin Sites. Remember, the camera guy freelancer who videotaped a Marine shooting an "Unarmed Civilian", in reality, a wounded Jihadist, during the fight for Fallujah? The film was on Al-Jazeera hours befoe the alphabet networks here got it.

I will not forget this parasite. He better hope I never meet him. You can bet a valuable part of your anatomy that the Marines have not forgotten what Sites did.

Well, he did get attention and that’s probably what he was after. I had never heard of him before this. I doubt he has ever lived in another country (Not a vacation resort!)for any length of time.A couple of years in Cuba or France would open his eyes. Imagine the families of loved ones who where killed over in Iraq have to hear this ungrateful spoiled bastard.

We don't use the word "silly" much anymore. And we should, it is the best word to describe many of the acts and beliefs of the left.

And "silly" describes Joel Stein perfectly. He is yet another child in an adult's body trying to explain away his own lack of relevancy to much of anything.

I haven't read the column by him yet because the LA Slimes wants way too much personal information to look at their biased rag. It should be available elsewhere in a couple of days.

Dennis Prager, syndicated radio talk show host based in L.A., was commenting yesterday on Stein's article. If you listen to Dennis' program you know that one of his guiding principles is: clarity is more important than agreement, i.e., it is not important that we agree; what is important is that people make their positions absolutely clear to avoid any misunderstanding of what they mean.

Dennis has long critiqued the liberal line "We're against the war, but we support the troops" as not only illogical but insincere. If you believe the war in Iraq is immoral and illegal, that the president lied to the American people to support this war, that we are murdering thousands of innocent women and children, and that Saddam has no terrorist ties to 9/11, then you cannot support the soldiers who are fighting this illegal and immoral war. To say you're against the war but support the troops is the ultimate in hypocrisy and insincerity.

Therefore, Dennis was complimentary to Mr. Stein yesterday (in this one and only respect) when he said, "Finally, an honest liberal." A liberal finally has the guts to come forward and say what they mean: that they don't really support the troops and that the troops have been duped into fighting this terrible mistake.

So let us join with Dennis and say "Thank you, Mr. Stein, for finally making clear what we have suspected all along. Liberals not only do not believe in the Iraq war, but they also do not respect the sacrifices of our troops to keep us free from another attack."

Speaking as a veteran, that had to be one of the most offensive liberal masturbatory pieces Iâ€™ve ever read....and that's sayin' a lot for the LameAss Times.

It's no wonder their ad revenue & circulations are swirling the bowl.

Liberalism truly is a horrific disease. Thank gawd I was finally inoculated.

I can return the favor: I don’t believe in idiocy, so therefore I don’t believe in Joel Stein OR the LA Times. And I see no reason to explain or defend that position.
