A uniform is just an outfit. It does NOT “deserve respect”.

https://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2015/01/09/a-uniform-is-just-an-outfit-it-does-not-deserve-respect/

Zip at the link today.

Individual people EARN respect by their actions, not by the clothes they wear.

This writer has friends who are decorated war heroes (one of them damned near died on Iwo Jima). There are other people in uniform who have committed war crimes. Are they equally deserving of respect? Of course not.

There is a cop of Cranky acquaintance who literally saved a child’s life by shooting a man who had a gun pointed at the kid’s head (no kidding, it really happened. The man’s a legend, and deservedly so). There are other cops who have taken bribes or committed crimes. Are they equally deserving of respect? Oh, Hell, no.

In days of yore, there were people, attired like hippie freaks, who went around helping the poor and feeding the hungry. The Manson “family” dressed the same way. Again: equally deserving of respect? Oh, f***ing HELL, no.

So to all whiny-assed, bullying crybabies among the NYPD who are going “waaah” about not being respected: shut the f***ing f*** up, you f***ing f***wits. There are some damned good cops in that town who have earned respect, and who give respect. Guess what? They will get the respect they deserve.

And the bad cops will likewise get the respect THEY deserve. And not one bit more. The fabric that covers our bodies means little when compared to the actions of the humans who are covered by that cloth. A uniform, in and of itself, means exactly nothing.

WTF?

Well, if you cannot be bothered to respect the uniform how about not cheer leading for the people that want to shoot them in the face?

Just the usual hatred and jealousy of the left of those who are their betters.

The DUmmies say the same about the flag; "A flag is just a piece of cloth. It does NOT 'deserve respect' ".  :censored:

Individual people EARN respect by their actions, not by the clothes they wear.

The oval office is just an office. It does NOT  "deserve respect".

Individual presidents EARN respect by their actions not the office they hold.

The same can be said of the mayor's office of New York.

There goes another conservative being intellectually honest again.

I was thinking the exact same thing, Thundley!  Great minds and all that!   :cheersmate:

I feel the same way about the 'office of the President of the United States', DUmbass.

Barry O'Chamberlain gets no respect from me at all.

Black (brown, tan, of color, etc) is just a skin color. It does NOT "deserve respect".

Homosexuality is just a sexual persuasion. It does NOT "deserve respect".

Liberalism is just a mental illness. It does NOT "deserve respect".

---------------------------

I sometimes wonder if the hatred I feel for those turds brings me down to their level.

Did these DU-folk and the author whose article they admire skip English class when metaphors and symbolism were taught and discussed? What obtuseness!

Since you know nothing of either case, you should just shut up.

Nope.

Have these DUmmies ever heard of "Respect the uniform"?

When someone wears a uniform (assuming it isn't stolen valor but that is almost never the case with cops), you know the following set of FACTS:

1. The person has decided on a career/life of public service
2. The person has taken an OATH to support the citizenry
3. If an armed peace officer, the person has taken countless hours of training, including shoot/don't shoot
4. The person has a clean background and has never been convicted of a major crime

That set of FACTS is worth of respect.

Perfect.  Worth a H5 any day of the week, and twice on Sunday.
