Ok Sampley Fans... Fine.. <br /><br />I'd guess then that dubya had no business participating in the dedication of the World war 2 memorial or visiting Arlington on memorial day, Ya know, seeing as dubya's prior service record is questionable with him going AWOL and all?...<br /><br />Don't that sound dumb? Yep.. Almost as ignorant as "Kerry does not belong at the wall because he betrayed the soldiers who fought in Vietnam".<br /><br />My work here is done... Have a nice day!..."Kerry does not belong at the wall because he betrayed the soldiers who fought in Vietnam".
But does kerry have the right to visit the wall? Sure, of course he has the right to go grandstand and take a phony photo op there if he (or his campaign manager) wants! And so does Sampley have the right to tell kerry off the way he did. He knew he couldn't really escort him away, but I'm sure his crass performance was intended to make a point rather than actually remove kerry. I'm neither embarrased nor impressed by the stunt. Didn't prove anything. But kerry sure did. I don't want a jerk like that as my president! No self control, no class, no respect for others- not even school kids. He doesn't deserve to be a senator much less president.If Kerry's reaction was not a true picture of the man then truth is a meaningless word. His reaction represents a true part of his personality. How a president reacts under stress is important and this incident is just another clue to help people decide.<br /><br />I don't beleive it's meaningless. A persons personality plays a part in all the decisions they make. An adult flipping off someone in front of children that he knew were there, has to mean something.

So are you trying to say that all who have conservative tendencies are unreasonable and irrational? I hope you don't believe that. Just because you don't like hearing what the Bush campaign says does not make it false. Are you saying that we must be not only unthinking but also irrational if we differ from your PC perspective? It would be utterly arrogant to draw such a conclusion. To put this in perspective the founding fathers including the extremely non-partison George Washinton must also have been irrational, right? Have you ever studied their writings to know what they believed? They were far more conservative than the majority of today's Republicans! Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to get my information from the more modern, revised and corrected Politically Correct revisionist/relativistic history books and media. After all the liberal writers of today have a much deeper understanding than the original men who founded this land themselves did, right? Maybe you should clarify your statement! In terms of economics, defense, core societal values, and anything else you can think of the conservative perspective is based upon altruistic values desiring good for our nation. (As is I believe most of the motivation for the Democratic platform. The big difference is the perspecive necessary to get TO the goal is missing in the left, IMO. They tripped badly when they embraced the convenience of relativism. Republicans are sliding this way also but haven't yet lost all hope of maintaining intellectual integrity) Are there individuals who fail to live up to this expected integrity? Sure! On both sides! But neither you nor anyone in the media has been able to bring any solid proof that our President has anything but good motives. Speculate and insinuate all you want. It just isn't there. I do not challenge your right to see things differently. I do not challenge your right to disagree with the President, me, or anyone else. But I most certainly challenge your assertion that the President's campaign is dishonest enough to be so full of the "disinformation" you allege. Politics is messy business. It wouldn't have to be if more aspirants had more integrity. Remember, liberalism comes from relativist origins; liberalism is attempting to reach the same lofty goals from a relativistic approach which is like hiking in the woods without a compass. But it doesn't really matter that there is no compass because you're trying to reach a state of mind rather than a specific location. (Oops! Goal redefined!) Having everyone feel good about it is evidently more important than BEING good organically? Relativism is nothing more than the practice of throwing away the moral and intellectual yardsticks and replacing them with a very elastic one which will conform to man's selfish will instead of a greater absolute which demands our conformity. Redefine the issue so you don't have to deal with it. How is it that the party which loves to proclaim tolerance has themselves grown totally intolerant and narrow of anyone who values absolutes? How can ANYTHING be procaimed wrong (gads! Even being conservative!) if there is no longer a fully developed right and wrong? WHY ARE LIBERALS SO AFRAID OF ABSOLUTES? How inconsistent.<br /><br />Truth could really hurt if it were't so easily redefined into nothingness by the left.We have so much disinformation coming out of the right, it's kind of to be expected, however. It will be, I am confident, why reasonable rational people will be repulsed by it.<br />
