Well there is ALWAYS War, many brave soldiers deaths, very happy billionaires, house of reps. Who have accomplished NOTHING.

A president elect of GOP, that does not have a clue.

And yet this is what encourages voters. Totally amazing!

Ending slavery seems to be a fairly decent accomplishment, or don't you agree? The credit goes to the Republicans.

The last time the national debt was paid down a bit, was during the Eisenhower administration, a Republican. I consider that an accomplishment.

I do not consider legalizing abortion to be a good thing.
I do not consider legalizing gay marriage to be a good thing. To me, marriage is a religious thing.
I do not consider legalizing marijuana in some states a good thing......whoops, those are Democrat accomplishments.

I think that cutting taxes to nothing on almost half the population to be a bad thing, and that is a Republican accomplishment.

I think passing Obamacare was a really bad thing for the country.....a Democrat thing.
I think that the Iran agreement and giving them back billions of dollars was a bad thing......Democrats.
I think that most of the blame for the middle east and terrorism today is bad handling by the Democrat administration.

There is enough blame for both parties, but the reason for my being a Republican and not a Democrat like my parents, is that where Republicans have become more moderate to liberal, the Dems have become socialists. Socialism, the ideology that my father fought and that I fought in South East Asia. Socialism, the ideology that Kennedy fought, to include the Cuban crisis. Socialism, the ideology of a failed economy. And the Dems have become complacent liberals that embrace radicals because it makes them feel good about themselves, regardless of America's sacrifice. Democrats, the liberal hippies of today that can't seem to grow up, even as their shoulder length hair turns from gray to white. I turned to the Republican party because no matter how much we are shot at and sh*t on, we still are loyal to America and our fellow Americans, regardless of how we are treated. And regardless of that, we are still loyal enough to protect and defend our weak minded brothers and sister. Kind of like the fireman that climbs the tree to save a scared cat that scratches and bites him for his effort.

Too bad national cemetery grave markers don't include party affiliation. You might be surprised how many card carrying democrats died for our country and continue to die and become maimed. Give it a break Mr. patriot.
I recently visited my wife's fathers grave with her. I counted 3 markers with the star of Islam while we were on the way back to the car.
Let's not forget the "hippies" that didn't flee to Canada that were killed. They didn't volunteer but they did their duty.

Yes, there are exceptions to any statement. Exceptions do not make the norm. Kind of hard to count the graves of conservatives, isn't it? And yes, I believe in a conscript or draft program. I think all should participate and NONE should be exempt for other than physical inability. As a matter of fact, I believe there should be a Constitutional amendment that stipulates a mandatory prerequisite that all persons wishing to represent us as politicians must have military experience on their resume'. If they wish to be the Commander-in-Chief then they ought to know what that consists of. If they are going to send anyone into battle, they should know what it is like to be a uniform member.

If you are criticizing my apathy for the plight of hippies, liberals or those that take advantage of the efforts of others, that's your prerogative. Otherwise, I have no idea why a Muslim grave marker or a drafted hippy has to do with my comment.
