Clint Eastwood's heart may have been in the right place, when he accepted the invitation to speak at the Republican National Convention, Thursday (Aug. 30), but his mind was clearly somewhere else. Possibly at home with his daughters telling a story about "the good old days," because from the sounds of it, that's exactly what he thought he was doing.
Rather than firing up the crowd for Mitt Romney's acceptance speech, Eastwood confused and amused all while his chair (holding an invisible President Obama) taunted him in the distance.
The 82-year-old stopped in the middle of his speech several times, and turned to hold an intimate conversation with the chair, eliciting more nervous laughter from the audience. At one point, he slammed Obama for being a lawyer, apparently forgetting that Romney also went to Harvard Law School.
"I never thought it was a good idea for attorneys to be presidents anyway. I think it's maybe time for, maybe a uh, business man, how about that? A stellar business man. Quote on quote 'a stellar businessman,'" Eastwood rambled.
Although he was met with cheers (again, from utter confusion), veteran news anchor Brian Williams was powerless against the looming awkwardness and broke into a short but heartfelt chuckle just before offering commentary on the speech. "I'm reminded that he starred in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and I think people will find parts of all three to talk about," Williams said.
After that speech one thing is clear: Mr. Eastwood has no idea where he is, or what's going on in America.
"After that speech one thing is clear: Mr. Eastwood has no idea where he is, or what's going on in America. Also, he looked pretty sleepy."
There's a big difference in critisizing this mans life, and living it yourself. Lets see you muster over 60yrs of movie and tv entertainment under your belt, and mayor of a city...then, if you live that long, at 82yrs, stand before millions in this world, and give a perfect, flawless speech that everyones going to love...try it, then talk! PISHER!
In what capacity? I recall he was a captain and was involved in filming/training films? I'm not begrudging his service just trying to remember what he did.
Right now, I'm trying to get you to Source your info, which I doubt.
I know you are confused,but since you think I work for you,where is my back pay for last year? The agreement was for 100 k a year and to date I haven't received a nickel from you.
And explain how a race is going Zero % for a POTUS Candidate.
Since I'm not the candidate WHY do you think I am obligated to explain that?
Wearing a uniform and Pretend don't count. How would YOU know?
1....sign up for military
2....put on uniform
3....serve in combat position.
4....get full VA.

No,it's not.
Unless you are reading imaginary books in addition to talking with imaginary friends.
Reagan did not do WWII.
Yes,he did. The whole damn war. The problem is you are so ignorant you don't know what serving in wartime means. Or even serving and earning VA benefits,as far as that goes.
The majority of vets,including the ones in VA hospitals, never spent a single minute in combat.
I even worked with a 100 percent service-connected disabled veteran at the Norfolk Naval Yard back in the 80's that didn't even serve long enough to get out of basic training,yet he was retired from the army as a private. He had a heart attack in basic training and retired on a medical discharge. Served less than a month and never left South Carolina or even shot a rifle.

You are either lying or a ignorant fool for stating your claims. I will allow you to choose.
You are obviously a liar when you claim military experience.

Disability compensation is a benefit paid to a veteran because of injuries or diseases that happened while on active duty, or were made worse by active military service. It is also paid to certain veterans disabled from VA health care. The benefits are tax-free.
Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible for disability compensation if you have a service-related disability and you were discharged under other than dishonorable conditions.
Tell us all where the words "combat arena" are mentioned,dipshit.

First off,it would be REALLY helpful if you would provide a link that works.
Secondly,this appears to be a STATE PROGRAM specifically targeted at combat zone veterans. This is NOT a Veterans Administration program,and even then it says the different counties have their own requriements.

They are about STATE benefits given as grants to combat veterans.
Which has NOTHING to do with how the Veterans Administration works,or how benefits are paid to veterans or what benefits are given to what veterans.
The FACT is that a PEACETIME veteran that was permanently injured in a car accident off-base in any state in the union can be granted up to 100 percent disability from the accident,and receive the SAME benefits in pay and care that a combat veteran in wartime gets from being 100 percent disabled.

Noting how Reporting PTSD and Rape are completely frowned upon by the military.
You have been watching too many reruns of JAG.
PTSD claims are the reason the VA claims are skyrocketing. Why? Because the fluffie left has been demanding the DoD and VA treat PTSD the same as loosing an arm or leg. The DoD and VA are so scared of the left that all a Troop needs to do is say he is having problems and they get the claim.
37 But although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him, 38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: "Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?" 39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: 40 "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, Lest they should see with their eyes, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them." 41 These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.(John chapter 12)

I see you are hiding from The Light. When you are serious about getting better and want healing you can ping me and I would be more than happy to help show you the Way. If you seek the Lord, you will find Him; if you call upon His Name, He will answer. If you surrender to Him you will never be disappointed again.
One would think that if God really wanted to win the war he would stop inflicting disease on his most ardent soldiers.
A hollow argument. Metal is forged. Trees are pruned to produce more fruit. Pick up the Josh Hamilton book and have a look at a down and out crackhead and what he has become since surrendering to Christ.
