Could someone explain this logic to me, please?

Our solemn visit

This Memorial Day holiday weekend, I took my 15-year-old granddaughter to Washington, D.C., where we visited Arlington National Cemetery and saw the Tombs of the Unknown.

I wanted to share with her the honor it is for us to pay tribute to the brave men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice so we could be free. This visit also reminded me why I so dislike "liberals" and the "liberal press."


Read this letter in the Dallas Morning News this morning and couldn't help but shed a tear. Has it really come to this? Has America become this divided that a visit to a military grave site causes hatred instead of remorse and peacefulness? I can't even follow the logic of how the writer went from honoring vets to hating "liberals". Someone want to explain the logic?

about 5th letter down.

4. I don't want to register either
but it isn't hard to project what the writer said.

If you want to make an answer, you might ask this person if it is 'liberals' who sent our kids to Iraq without proper body and vehicle armor; if it was 'liberals' who cut the hazardous duty pay; if it was 'liberals' who cut the family allowance for military personnel; if it was 'liberals' who cut support for the VA and denied wounded soldiers medical care.

You might also want to ask if it was 'liberals' who sent our kids to die for a lie.

6. Was it liberals who...
....stopped America's defense forces on 9/11?
Who attacked Viet Nam in the 60's?

No, the liberals are not to blame for our wars or soldiers deaths, it is the conservatives who are to blame.

5. Explaining Logic
I sometimes think that letters like this are a plant from the RNC or Rush writing letters in his spare time. If this is a real person he watches way too much Fox New.

9. Easy explanation.
The right wing media has succeeded in manipulating the millions of people who do not want to fully think for themselves. :(
