"John Dingell is the longest currently-serving member of Congress (and the third longest-serving ever). The acerbic 85-year-old Michigan Democrat had long been contemptuous of Tea Partiers. He found them unruly and difficult to get along with. Dingell tended to refer to them as 'teabaggers,' a phrase that has an alternate sexual meaning. This normally wouldn't have been a problem in the hall of Congress, but when Dingell was booked to appear on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, his staff felt the need to finally warn and educate him. When his chief of staff shared the other meaning of 'teabagger' with Dingell, the Congressman went through three different stages of reaction. At first, he said 'hah,' then said 'that's disgusting,' and finally the octogenarian congressman reached the plain of acceptance and said, 'It's funny and I'm going to keep using it."

That's Democrat class. The rules are. You can attack your fellow citizens with personal insult for political views you disagree with...But DON'T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT A SOLDIER. They are OFF LIMITS.
Ah... the party of inclusion and tolerance.. what a crock!

Cicero seems to have a real problem with the US Military... but I have no problem commending them for the difficult job they do every day to protect our country. An honorable profession.
Check it out... some good guitar!

That is OK because I call him dingellberry. Hopefully I will see him in person some day before he croaks and can tell him to his face what that means.
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

I have no problem with our military...Many family members and friends have served. My only question is, when do soldiers take personal responsibility for the killing in unconstitutional wars sold on lies? You talk about all these oaths soldiers take to uphold the constitution, but you exonerate them from the deaths committed during the illegal Iraq war. And it is YOU that called Iraq ILLEGAL and sold on LIES. I'm just curious how you can logically hold that position simultaneously.
My guess is, you would have commended the German soldiers follow orders invading their neighbors and marching Jews to the ovens. After all, they were pre-emptivly protecting their country.
