Breaking.............John Murtha Dead

[Lacarnut]

I think he deserves a big promotion and a huge bonus for a job well done....

You have got a good point there

[AllosaursRus]

Tell us how you really feel Patriot!

Oh, I agree 100% with you about that useless fat bastard!!!!!!11

Something tells me that Patriot sanitized his feelings for print.....

Yeah, I could sense he was holding back and it was hurting him to do so.

While many of us have our own opinions about his death, do we really need to stoop to the depths of the DU when posting here?? I thought that we were better than this and what has been posted recently??

Speaking from the vantage point of somebody who doesn't frequent the DU Dumpster, and only the DU thing itself when I've got an insatiable urge to look at something really, really stupid, I can imagine that there are some crass things said in that place.

I think what's being said here shouldn't be taken as gospel by anybody. If somebody is venting because the behavior of this assclown was truly despicable (as it surely was, on many fronts and many venues), that's what it is -- venting.

I realize that this forum does not want to stoop to DU level - whatever that is - but in the interest of free speech, is it really reflective of this forum when somebody vents about people like Murtha?

Or is it merely reflective of the passion that that person holds toward a man who went over to the Dark Side, never to return?

Of course, you da Hammah man. If you say pipe down, I guess all of us need to ask if it's briar, meerschaum, or corncob.

[Thor]

I have my own opinions of Murtha and they parallel what Patriot Game said. However, for the sake of propriety, I have kept them to myself.

Besides that, if asked y'all to "pipe down", it would be a Bosun's Pipe.....

You are correct in part but we do NOT coddle Satan and his tools. There is a BIG difference between what we do here and what the DUmmies at the DUmp DU (do):
We are honest, patriotic, NEVER lie, S-U-P-P-O-R-T our troops and our nation, and do NOT leech off of the taxpayer nor idolize Marxism.
We are righteous, Dummies are Satan's tools.

I have ZERO apprehensions over urinating on Murtha's "legacy" and if given the chance, I would squat and crap on his tombstone.

I need to post BEFORE I indulge to heavily in the Chivas royal.

[PatriotGame]

I bit a hole in my bottom lip during the entire triad.

No, you are right in your interpretations of my rants and how I really feel. I cannot fully speak for the entire group on CC but again, you have a good view of their above board qualities.
I would never say "pipe down" to you. Personally, and this is my own judgment, I have always found your input to be level headed and quite insightful.
A good addition to this forum.

Thank you and thank you for your input.
I have ZERO rights to be so pig headed as
to ever admonish you for your statements here. In fact, I have always viewed them to be above mine in an insightful manner.

Why thank you, PG! That's a very nice compliment indeed!   

[AllosaursRus]

Patriot is just mimicking what many of us here feel, but refrain from it 'cause we can count on him to voice it for us. Heh, heh, heh!

You da man, Bubba!

ETA:( I wasn't in the service, so I don't feel I have the right to critisize to that degree. )

I hear ya. I hesitate to criticize the kerry,s mccain's and murtha's of the world...but it's their actions as politicians I hate. And yes, I consider kerry and murtha traitors. mccain, I consider mentally imbalanced.

Murtha better pray God isn't a Marine.

[DefiantSix]

Murtha better pray God isn't a Marine.

I somehow don't think he's gonna like the answer to that prayer. 

 

[Chris_]

Murtha better pray God isn't a Marine.

Forgive me other service members,
but I feel compelled to answer this with the following:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God. In the Beginning was God - and all else was darkness, and void, and without form. So God created the heavens and the earth. He created the sun, and the moon, and the stars, so that light might pierce the darkness. And the earth God divided between the land and the sea, and these He filled with many assorted creatures. And the dark, salty, slimy creatures that inhabited the murky depths of the oceans, God called sailors, and He dressed them accordingly.

And the flighty creatures of the air He called airmen. And these He clothed in uniforms which were ruffled and fowl.

And the lower creatures of the land, God called soldiers. And with a twinkle in His eye, and a sense of humor that only He could have, God gave them trousers too short, and covers too large, and pockets to warm their hands. And to adorn their uniforms, God gave them badges. And He gave them cords. And He gave them ribbons... and patches... and stars... and bells. He gave them emblems... and crests... and all sorts of shiny things that glittered... and devices that dangled. When you're God, you tend to get carried away in a big way.

And on the 7th day, as you know, God rested. And on the 8th day at 0730, God looked down upon the earth and was not happy.

GOD WAS NOT HAPPY!

So He thought about His labors, and in His infinite wisdom, God created a divine creature and this He called a Marine. And these Marines whom God created in His own image, were to be of the air, the land, and the sea. And these He gave many wonderful uniforms.

He gave them practical, fighting uniforms, so that they could wage war against the forces of Satan and evil.

He gave them service uniforms for their daily work and training, that they might be sharp and ready.

And He gave them evening and dress uniforms. Sharp, stylish, handsome things, so they might score with the ladies on Saturday night, and impress the hell outta everybody!

And at the end of the 8th day, God looked down upon the earth, and saw that it was good. But was God happy? No!

GOD WAS STILL NOT HAPPY!

Because in the course of His labors, He had forgotten one thing... He did not have a Marine uniform! But He thought about it, and thought about it, and finally satisfied Himself in knowing that, well, not everybody can be a Marine...

I have read this before....sent to me by another Marine mom.....before my son joined the Navy. 

Please thank your son for his service, Kay.

[Chris_]

Thank you Debk, I will pass that on to him.
And thank your son for me too.

[debk]

Thank you Debk, I will pass that on to him.
And thank your son for me too.

I'm lucky....he's back home.

Hope your's will be soon be.

Woohoo! Looks like Jihad Johnny won't be planted at Arlington among the honorable. Instead, he'll end up being buried in Johnstown, PA.

Funeral services for the late Rep. John Murtha have now been finalized for next week in the district he represented for 3 1/2 decades.

Murtha's family said a public viewing will be held from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday and Monday at Duca's Funeral Home in Johnstown.

A private funeral service begins at 11 a.m. Tuesday at the Westmont Presbyterian Church, and a private burial service will follow at Grandview Cemetery.

Good news! Glad to hear it.

[The Village Idiot]

Great News

[debk]

I'm surprised.....all things considered, I would have thought he would have wanted Arlington.
