I have the fortune of being part of a large family with widely divergent points of view. A while back I was talking to a niece who was telling all about how she and her husband were against the war but supported the troops. That got me thinking. How often do people say something like that and yet I can find no instance of them actually supporting any troops. It's easy to say that you "support" the troops but it's not quite so easy to actually do so while you are spending all your free time working against the successful execution of their job. Which brings me to Al Franken.
Now I'm no supporter of Al Franken, in fact I think he is one of the most educated morons ever to grace this lovely planet, bless his heart. He's made alot of money working from a solid core of bald face lies, the premier subset of which includes his lies about other people telling lies. Mr Franken is unabashedly a detractor of this war and yet he does not go around touting how he "supports the troops." However, he has also been over there several times on USO visits.
Mr Franken is a buffoon. He is a pseudo-intellectual cretin who barely makes it past "imbecile," but, though he is virulently opposed to this war, he actually does support the troops. Ya gotta give him props. He may be an ignoramus but at least he's an ignoramus who supports the troops.
So my question to you, my friends, is this; If you are one of those people who is so proud of being against the war but supporting the troops, just exactly what have you done to express this elusive support? If all you do is work against us, try to keep us from doing our job, which is to WIN this war, and then SAY that you support us, well then you are a liar. You suck.
If, however, you have actually DONE something to support the troops, besides blabbing about it, then I thank you. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you and bless the day that you realized that support means more than just shooting off your mouth. You are a faithful person and I am proud to be a member of the organization that physically guarantees your right to shoot off your mouth. I will gladly risk my life to guarantee that right to you. That includes you, Mr Franken. God bless you.

Yes to two out of three! I support the troops(at least with my votes and a kind word or two). I support you having a blog (again probably not with cash donations per say). But, Al Franken and his lying liar lies, not so much. He IS a small part of my life in that I quote him when I look in the mirror sometimes. "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggonit people like me!" :)
p.s. You ARE fluent in Gangsta! I applaud your dope rhymes(I was not in fact speaking in the Gangsta language then, merely using some of the terminology to correlate my point.)
I appreciate very much the name of your blog. It's nice to see the ripple effect a blog has. Keep 'em comin' dude! I did read your actual blog entry but I'm not so smart about the war, so I'll decline to comment.
