Let's Try To Have Some Class

Yesterday was Memorial day, and, as I pointed out, was supposed to be for remembering those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. But yesterday, Democratic Presidential hopeful John Edwards decided to try to use the day to make political hay. He said, basically, that we should use the day to call for the withdrawal of forces from Iraq, and called for his supporters to protest Memorial Day parades, with signs about getting out of Iraq. Now, I don't have a problem with him campaigning on getting us out of the conflict in Iraq, if that is what he really believes is the way to go, then that is what he should say. He also made a valid point about the Bush administration, and some other Republicans, calling anyone who disagrees with the administration war policy, unpatriotic. I have been saying that right along. Just because someone thinks that what is being done is wrong, or that it just isn't the best course of action, doesn't mean that they are not patriots. Of course, there is a line, which a lot of people, and a lot of organizations that John Edwards is associated with, have crossed. They have gone from calling for a new course, to saying that the USA is the force of evil in the world, and other such bunk as that. But regardless of whether you agree with his message or not, the fact of the matter is that trying to use Memorial day to make a political point is tasteless and shows a complete lack of appreciation of what the day is all about. And asking your supporters to protest Memorial day celebrations shows a complete disregard for the thousands of Americans who have given their lives over the course of centuries so that we can all have the freedoms that we currently enjoy. So, Mr. Edwards, and all the rest, go ahead, speak your minds, but please, try to show some class. Now, under the heading of: "Who cares what they said!??!" Enough about Rosie O'Donnell!! She is out there on the lunatic fringe, so why is the media shoving the garbage that spews out of her mouth down our throats? I don't get it. I don't care what she says, I have heard enough to know that she is nothing more than a far left loon mouthpiece, and I for one would be thrilled if we never heard another word from her, or about her. She is ignorant, and so we should ignore her. Period.
