What's Going Through My Head

The Daily Collegian - Pat Tillman is not a hero: He got what was coming to him

See...I hate to sound Limbaugh-esque...but it's crazy columns like this that really turn off a lot of Americans to liberalism. Liberalism on it's own is a valuable concept that has allowed this country to free slaves and give women the right to vote.

But, somewhere in that democratic base, people need to figure out THIS is the way that many Americans identify the democratic party, with nut jobs like this.

The writer seems to forget that soldiers do not choose where they will serve, they serve where they are sent. No one goes to war hoping to die, and those that do die for the country, even for a cause that not all agree with, still deserve a modicum of respect and honor.
