By John Byrne | Raw Story Editor A closer examination of a photograph included in President George W. Bush's Air Force records, released by the White House earlier this year, shows then-Second Lieutenant Bush wearing an Air Force Outstanding Unit Award which he never earned. The photograph is also displayed on George H. W. Bush's Presidential library website. http://www.bluelemur.com/index.php?p=276 http://www.realchange.org/bushjr.htm
Too stupid. "He was wearing it because he thought he should have been." lol That about sums it up for me. Thanks for the post btw.. I needed a laugh.
it makes me sick that you people could mock the Christ who died for us. Now, let the Christain bashing begin!! Yeah, you people want peace and love, except when it comes to Christians.
Please be less sick. I think Jesus was very cool. Um.. I am currently however an infidel unbeliever though I do not promote the bashing of Christians or any other belief oriented type person. In fact, I usually like them very much. Especially the kind, less vomitous promoters of virtue and overall 'goodness.' I do promote the bashing of fascist Bush mongers. Vote for progress! Vote for what's good! Vote for Kerry!
Are you asking to be a martyr? Most of us are here to talk politics and war in this forum, not religion. Cyberfly, thanks for the funny post, as usual
Cyberfly....luv the post......we just rented "Passion of the Christ" this wknd and found it full of gratuitous violence (did we really need to see the crow pecking out that man's eyeball???). chill out moonjava.....no one's poking fun at Jesus. But just making the point if those "Swift Boat Vets full of lies" lived back in the days of Jesus, they would most likely mock his bravery, courage, strength, etc. (not to compare Jesus with Kerry, of course)
Unit awards or unit citations can be worn by any member of the unit that recieved the award even decades later. Without recieving any kind of orders or permission. I personally recieved two unit citations [as did everyone else in my unit] for several major battles my division was in during WWII.
Well, now my mind's completely changed about Bush. Ok! His service medals were earned! Not that fake Kerry's silly purple hearts. Him and his band-aid medals. I've changed my mind. Vote for Bush! The true heroic veteran of the two! This was a funny silly sarcastic remark....please laugh.
you completly ignored the subject at hand and concentrated on what offended you. if anything that pic was pro jesus being as it was sarcastic, they are underlying his achievements and the pain he went through. the pic was merely used as an illustration to compare the swift boat vets and the people who crusified christ...
Moonjava you are on everyones case who isn't voting for Bush...TODAY we reached 1,000 military personnel that has died for this stupid ass war..I'm sick of this war...We should have never went to war but we are, and there is no end in sight, we went in this war blind..with no way of winning it, no plan on how to get out of it, we thought it was going to be easy and now look at us..we are in war..with Iraq and we can't get out.. so we are stuck there, and our soldiers are dying!! innocent civilians are dying and FOR WHAT??? I'm sick to death of having bush pushed down my throat and yes people like you PISS ME OFF trying to force feed me bullshit or BUSHIT!...I don't care who flames me..This is MY opinion and many others on here as well..so flame me if you must be i feel a hell of a lot better since I said my peace.. Btw as for this thread..I'm sure Jesus is understanding the meaning of it..so you needta CHILL damnit.
To my friends, thanks for your support and I pray with you for an end to the Bush War. To you Republicans, it is obvious that it is you who make a mockery of the sacrifice made by others.
I'm going to have to agree with moonjava. Yeah, Kerry sounds so wonderful now, but keep in mind, the antichrist will sound perfect. You don't think if he came in saying, "I'm evil, like me", that would work, do you? Wolves in sheep's clothing.
Actually, only white Christians who pay taxes and send their kids to private school are exempt from peace and love. All others are well within the guidelines for said peace and love.
As always … the topic gets lost in… ‘anti-Christ’… ‘mocking…Jesus, you make me sick’…, the right’s manipulation of spiritual needs in our culture is working. If we believe Bush is a fake and used money to get out of service, and the character assassination against Kerry and his service is bad politics, immoral, and bad for the country, we’re obviously tainted by evil and can be ignored as such. We support the anti-Christ now?! What is wrong with you people? I swear, I’m convinced half you freaks are chaos plants or Satan worshipers pretending to be Christians to give Christians a bad name. Peace and love except for Christians? Are you so cloistered that an inflammatory pic, used just for that purpose, will set you off to example your worst ‘Christian’ qualities? In my memory, religion and politics has never been so mixed. It’s dangerous. And nothing good will come from it.
