Interesting video and attitudes. I think it goes well with my new sig line.

The entire video is somewhat longer and worthwhile seeing imo. It's on July 19th on his blog. The rev Hagee stuff is also intriguing. Max Blumenthal

oh.. so it's only college democrats that are enlisting? nope.. they are anti-war. It's a voluntary army alst time I heard.

I have to admit I haven't watched the entire video...but then again, I don't think I'll waste my time. Nothing wrong with questioning one's devotion to his/her beliefs, but one could just as easily ask him why he doesn't leave and go to Canada if he doesn't like the way the country is going. See my point?

BTW, My son was VP of the College Republicans at his school...he deploys in Sept.

To me serving in the military is not and should not be about politics. I have served with many democrats and many republicans...we did not serve to further our political ideology...we served because of something bigger than all of us. A calling to serve the country. We may not have agreed with all the decisions made for us, but we served anyway. It's hard to put into words...you have to experience it.

It states that Max Blumethal is a writer who takes on conservative groups . How biased is that??? Man, your really reaching for straws with that one. Anybody could start a blog and ask the libs the same question.
Being conservative does not mean you are pro-war. You need to look up the differences in conservative vs democrats.

It's not. It's giving back to your country...who seems to do more of that??? Conservatives or liberals? anybody got a link?

I think it is a legitimate question the blogger asked, though.

Why didn't he ask the liberals the same thing? It's biased. period, therefore meaningless. This war wasn't started by all the conservatives. That's just dumb...it was a bi-partisan vote. Sorry to wreck your day.

True it was just one - Bush...

That is silly Rita. If anything that is biased is meaningless, there is no meaning in the world.

That would make you a left-wing, existentialist as close as I can tell

Also, it takes a lot more than a post from you to wreck my day, so don't worry about apologizing.

Sure it is...He asked alot of students and edited out the ones who did not give him the answer he wanted. Why did he not ask the liberal students? I guess you also believe that all those people who are interviewed by Jay Leno's "streetwalking" represent all the people he talked to and edited out.

**sctx** · 07-31-2007

why aren't all the college Dems goin to school in France???.....or Venezeula???

PlayadelSoul · 07-31-2007

Why not ask liberals why they all don't have white flags hanging in front of their house? Silly little blogger man wants some publicity, and CNN only too happy to oblige.

Cosmo · 07-31-2007

For the same reasons extremists don't put flags on the coffins of the dead...
