no, but is scares the hell out of me who ELECTED these morans as their representatives.

those "voters" are the future of the country, and this is what they vote for?

US senate in 15 years will be bickering over what color pattern of mauve and white to change the flag to.

Since they don't teach American history correctly in high school.
What else could you expect.

Back when I graduated HS (1987) I think we spent less than a week on ww2. I'd bet it's just a footnote on a page now.
Shame , the biggest conflict in recorded history is now but a foot note.
Sad part is people who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.
Going to suck when these people do learn how to vote.
Fortunately most don't . Well for now anyway.

It would make Boyington happy to know that his fame exposed another liberal moron.

My word. People really are clutching at straw men today. If you read the minutes, it sounds like they had a debate (look it up if you are not sure, it doesn't happen very often around here). A couple of people made off the wall, negative comments which were argued against, including the remark "those that fought in WWII were heroes".

Seems to me it was a poorly thought out plan, short on specifics, and that's why it was rejected. It was noted that they had plenty of war memorials about the place, so it can't be as anti-military as some would like to believe.

Too late.
Every bum in Seattle is a memorial

There should be no statues erected of any military servicemen at all.  Muhammad Ali should not be celebrated because he fought people for money too.  Are they really that ignorant or just a bunch of croquet playing, vagina monologue watching drag queens?

They should read his book.

Looks like Ms. Edwards statement in the article is going to get her some grief.  A USMC vet drafted up a piece of legislation, had it cosigned by other vets and submitted it to the UofW student council.  I won't post the text here without his permission, but basically it says she will submit a written apology to all who serve and guarantee her freedom and rights, which will be printed in the school newsletter.  She must also read up on Col. Boyington.  The bottom line is her seat at the council.  

Her e-mail address got posted also - in a forum populated by lots of active duty and vets.    

She's got a right to an opinion of course.   Now she just has to deal with other folks exercising their rights to an opinion...

College kids acting like fools?  Say it isn't so!

There will be a time in the not so distant future, that those types will be wishing the Pappys of the world were still around.

You mean like when they're older and wiser?

This guy seems to be of a similar mindset...

ALAN COLMES, CO-HOST: This is Alan in New York. Should we not have military?

SANDOVAL: I don't think we should have a military. Absolutely.

COLMES: We shouldn't have a military? Wait a minute. Hold on. The United States should not have a military?

SANDOVAL: What good has it done for us in the last five years? That's right. What good has it done us...

HANNITY: Good grief.

SANDOVAL: ... in the last five years.

COLMES: Gerardo, wait a second.

SANDOVAL: We think about the billions that we're spending in Iraq right now, if we spend it on schools. We should not...

COLMES: The United States should not have a military?

SANDOVAL: That's correct.

COLMES: Are you kidding me?

SANDOVAL: The United States should not have a military. All in all, we would be in much, much, much better shape.

Yes, I know - so what else is new here?  It's just another politician putting his foot in his mouth.  And it's only Hannity and Colmes.  In this case this guy is so over the top here that it's almost funny.   He's just a member of San Fran's Board of Supervisors though.  Good thing we didn't have folks like him making decisions here - we got and still have the USS Missouri.

If I went to UofW I would go find the Republican Advocate Club and see what they feel about their 'University govenment' pulling this crap...or go to the Dean of the School.  This is horsepoop.

I must say though...when I was in school only a few years back, no one cared about Student Government/Senate.  It was a friggin joke.  The people that won and 'acted on behalf of the students' were the people with the best Slogan's during campaign time.  They never did Jack SH** except plan for lefties events.  No one else cared except the Right Activists.

I went to a LARGE school; I assume as big or larger than UofW.
