18. And it appears as if you did. Which sort of blows his claim, regarding we here at DU, as us being
"deranged idiots".

Thank you for work and representing us. :) Cheers!

Actually, calling these inbred sister-f*cking goobers "pigs" is an insult to pigs. Damned if I can come up with a good comparison in the animal kingdom for them...

7. Oh Noes!11!!!1 Edward Chen doesn't like "America the Beautiful"!!1! Stop the presses!!1! Socialism!!

Chen has been involved in many controversial causes and has made numerous inappropriate statements while sitting as federal magistrate judge. For instance, Chen said he did not feel patriotic pride when hearing “America the Beautiful,” but rather “ambivalence and cynicism.”

< / freep >

Because we all know that "America the Beautiful" is not merely a song, but the definitive document concerning the governance of our country, particularly of its judicial branch.

8. Many of us work hard for such caricatures.
To be called deranged by the deranged should always be an honor.

14. I don't lower myself.It is non-productive.
i thought that those of you who live in progressive areas would like to see what "WE" are enduring.
This is why it is CRITICAL that those of us in RED states need to work tirelessly to GOTV...unless we want to continue to endure.

And Texas has gerrymandered on racial and financial borders,not geographical ones.Go Figure

15. Note to lurking Freepers:
I realize this may be confusing to you, but it's not the military we hate. It's war that we hate, and the hypocritical stance taken by many Republicans that is pro-war but anti-veteran. Also, most of us here are not too fond of inflated military budgets, loaded with billions for useless toys, while many children in America have no textbooks or food.

They're always uninformed. Luckily, in my area, RW comments are a rarity. :)

19. Reppublicans from Arizona or Texas calling anyone "fringe" is projection of the highest order
If they weren't such nutters themselves, they'd realize that every else in the world considers them quite rightly to border on some form of mental illness.

20. Congratulations, Beth!
You really got their attention. And if they're directing more of it here, perhaps there'll be a little less drivel over there. Besides, they might even learn a thing or two.

Good job with Craig, too. Your work in support of troops/families/vets obviously impressed him, and you won his respect--and even an apology! Perhaps he'll be a little less likely in the future to broad-brush DU as 'anti-military.'

I don't see fellow Americans who disagree with me politically as the 'enemy,' and I hope Craig's exposure to you may influence him to modify his view of us here at DU. Next time you run into him, tell him 'Semper Fi' from another vet at DU. (I was Army, but the Marines aren't so bad, once you get used to them. They're just, as they say, misguided. :) And I've had some good times celebrating their birthday with them at the Iwo.)

Looks like this is one more way in which all your work is paying off.

:patriot:

21. they have been misguided by chickenhawks.
they still need veterans care.the chickenhawks have no clue as to veterans needs-they just endorse perpetual war-with someone else's kids,of course.
if this at least helps these guys/girls get the help they desperately need,then it's done some good.
we can disagree.it's cool.we just need to agree that these troops are suffering...for what?

34. You have my respect for hanging in there.
You must have some deep roots to stay put in that patch of earth. Not that it's much different from a lot of the region.

But, you know I had a close friend from Eagle Pass, and he LOVED that place. Guess, home is home, and the rest is just somewhere else. :toast:
