The problem with both your thread title and personal posting is that Memorial Day is not a happy occasion. It was a national holiday set aside for the memorance of those in uniform, whom lost their lives for America in causes for and about America beginning with the aftermath of the Great War between the North and the South in 1861. Of course, after WW2, all of this changed. Since the Korean War up to today, Memorial Day is for the memorance of those whom lost their lives around the world for useless and cheap/petty wars created by a goddamned US government for no reason other than political subterfuge for a dumbed downed American society. In either case, it is not a happy occasion.
Don't be sad buckeroo. Celebrate the past.
Exactly how do you celebrate 60 years of US meddling around the world creating the issues that have no solution that confront us today? Yesterday, the US patriot Act was reaffirmed with even more incredible fascist tyranny sanctions towards Americans. Do you see America becoming more free or less free with each passing day based on the REAL sacrifices of others in uniform?
Yesterday, the US patriot Act was reaffirmed with even more incredible fascist tyranny sanctions towards Americans. Do you see America becoming more free or less free with each passing day based on the REAL sacrifices of others in uniform? We still have it better than pretty much anyone on earth. But to answer your question. We are definately becoming less free. I don't like it. I blame it mostly on democrats. But also liberal Republicans known as RINOS. Go get you a steak and enjoy it with the family.
You are showing your relativism side of politics, a trait that I see in most posters. Basically, you have stated that you have no fundamental principles and that you are open to dialog that modifies the world around you just as long as you aren't living in a mudhut in Africa (or something like that). Your point is meaningless as America digresses into meaningless obscurity because of your own considerations. Really? Let us see now: Eisenhower got us into South Vietnam, GHBush got us into Iraq, GWBush got us into Afghanistan/IraqII. All useless wars. You act as though there is a psychology of dying for your nation worthy of a tribute or celebration. Why do you think you are worthy to to toast an honour for American lives lost in wars between 1950 and today?
Bush and Bush are Rinos. Eisenhower may have got us there but Kennedy screwed it up.
Eisenhower may have got us there but Kennedy screwed it up. I guess you just don't get it. You are haggling over semantic details (based on your own characterization) that have nothing to do with the thread contents. Both of the political parties have created the problems America realizes today. And, it goes without saying, the American People are too STUPID to realize that they have been lied to for the past 60 years by both political parties, too.
I agree both parties screwed it up. But the democrats have evil in their platform. There are at least some good Republicans. We need more Rand Pauls and less Paul Ryans.
BS. You are just like any of the other 120,000,000 voters in America believing in a so-called "leader as they see fit" that with contemporary US government policies can use the power of office. What we need are 120,000,000 Americans that believe in themselves and country BEFORE any government body or official; people with courage, conviction and principles while voting. Then America might see a real change.

And never fear; Jeb Bush will return in 2016 to restore the NeoCon S&M war games as he tries to convince people to go back to those good old mission accomplished days of brother Smirk. He's counting on people's general memory oif how horrible a job his brother did will be dim enough he can get a chance at giving us a third Bush.
