Don't talk to me about supporting the troops until you can publicly rebuke those who mock and demean our troops. Which people deserve rebuke? The ones who stick removeable yellow ribbons on their SUVs and accuse others of not supporting the troops, and then committing such shameful sins as praising those who

• Spreading lies attacking the service of a Veteran who was decorated in wartime for his valor under fire - aka Swiftboating (v.) The act of spreading lies attacking the service of a Veteran who was decorated in wartime for his valor under fire.
• Making heroes of those who initiate those deplorable actions
• Enriching same by buying books full of lies about political opponents.

By the way, when you get around to rebuking the guilty, do it before the upcoming election, not after it. Hiding from truth and justice is a political action intended to help more of the same "leaders" get elected.

Hillary Clinton:

1. Has thrown $12,000,000 of her family fortune at what is, at best, a futile attempt to become US President.
2. Insists that she is still in the race for the nomination.
3. Will say anything, do anything to scratch and claw for votes/delegates
4. Has shown that she will destroy her party and its presumptive nominee for personal gain
5. Supports her party's presumptive opposition candidate to her party's presumptive own candidate
6. Gleefully accepts endorsements from influential Republicans - even though everyone else in the world knows that the right-wingers prefer to run against Hill rather than against Barack. Hint: they might be able to beat her in November; they haven't a prayer against Obama.

• I would rather not have a president is is delusional.
• I would prefer a president who doesn't squander millions of dollars on useless activities.
• I would hope to have a president who priority is not "Me first. Screw the rest of you."
• I would like to live in a country where a bumbling, doddering old fool can't manage to defeat someone who is so widely hated... not just in her country, but even among members of her own party.
• I want a President who has the humility and humanity to say:
  
  • "I was wrong when I supported the 'authorization to use force.'
    
  • I was wrong because I didn't do my homework before promoting and voting for that authorization."
    
  • "I was wrong to give the warmongers another shot at starting a war by declaring another country was run , in part, by terrorists."
    
  • "I was wrong to encourage the people of the state (in which I am a carpetbagger) to entrust me with their say in governing the country - when all that I have done is pander for votes."
  • "I was way, way wrong to smear, slime, lie about, and swiftboat my colleague. "
  • "I ask the forgiveness of my country for my reprehensible behavior."

If she can do that, she might be an OK president - if OK means playing politics as usual.
