Am I the only one appalled that there were “boos” at the Republican debates last night when a soldier, who happens to be gay, asked a question via YouTube? Really? People that scream about being patriotic and the constitution and all of that were booing a soldier simply because he’s gay?
Wow.
I’m sorry, but the way I see it, you can’t get more patriotic than to put your life on the line defending your country and it’s constitution. I don’t care if he or she is white, black, pink, purple or beige. I don’t care if they sleep with women or men or get their pleasures riding a washing machine. They’re doing their patriotic duty and anyone that boos them for upholding the honor of being a soldier is a shithead.
I am starting to become embarrassed by my fellow citizens. Worse yet, I can’t even identify with half of them anymore.
Until the Reps stop pandering to the social right, and concentrate on the economic right, I can’t support them. I’m not alone either as the Libertarians continue to grow.
I agree with you. While I do wish for a more fiscally conservative government, I can’t vote for the party that traditionally held that role while they’re acting as bat-shit crazy as they have been lately.
Wow – that’s so disrespectful to someone who has put their life on the line. Insane.
It’s absolutely shameful, Sean. I don’t know how anyone, let alone any political party member that claims to be so patriotic, could act so awful.
Amen Brother! Right on!! I couldn’t agree more whole-heartedly!!
These audiences are cheering for executions and calling for the uninsured to be left to die. Hardly shocking they’d boo a gay soldier, but a little ironic… I’d have pegged these audiences as being pro-military. Maybe they’re just pro-killing.
