When challenged on their enlistment status, many Young Republicans cite the service of others, or how they're fighting liberals and for lower taxes.

Walking point in Ramadi is not the same as writing a policy paper at the Heritage Foundation.

1. Well said.

When the left wanted to save the Spanish Republic, they fought in Spain.

When they wanted to stop Hitler, they joined the Royal Canadian Air Force, the Royal Canadian Navy and the Canadian Army. They didn't publish nasty articles in PM. They risked and some lost, their lives.

Why? Because they felt freedom was more important than anything else in their lives.

What did the right do? Praise Hitler and ignore his crimes.

2. Well done, quiet.american!

The right also howled at Clinton for going into Kosovo, saying he was "wagging the dog". It's one of the reasons I can't take any Republicans seriously--they forget the things they said six years ago!

4. Thanks! -- But not mine originally -- just excerpted from the blogger

And agree -- what the Republican extremists want everyone to forget is how they did their level best to obstruct crucial funding and legislation related to Clinton's national security initiatives.

3. The gops are amazingly deaf to hypocrisy, aren't they?
