Why do you come here? It is obvious that you already know what everyone will say and what everyone believes (even if they don't). So why come here to have discussions if you already know what the other sides will say?

BTW, what I just wrote was sarcasm. There will be people who will call you a racist for little or no reason. I, however, have not. So do try and separate the people on these forums as individuals. What some will say is one thing, but your insistance that you know what all of us think and say is simply bullshit.

I don't know what you two are discussing but this line caught my eye....
There will be people who will call you a racist for little or no reason.

Glad you notice that too.....

Your problem is your appraoch. Ever hear the old saying, "If your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail"?

Your approach leads you to try and bulldoze everything and claim it is all liberal and all bullshit.

Bush was consistently absent from the TANG for a variety of reasons.


http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2004/09/08/bush_fell_short_on_duty_at_guard/


Bartlett, in a statement to the Globe last night, sidestepped questions about Bush's record. In the statement, Bartlett asserted again that Bush would not have been honorably discharged if he had not ''met all his requirements." In a follow-up e-mail, Bartlett declared: ''And if he hadn't met his requirements you point to, they would have called him up for active duty for up to two years."


That assertion by the White House spokesman infuriates retired Army Colonel Gerald A. Lechliter, one of a number of retired military officers who have studied Bush's records and old National Guard regulations, and reached different conclusions.
''He broke his contract with the United States government -- without any adverse consequences. And the Texas Air National Guard was complicit in allowing this to happen," Lechliter said in an interview yesterday. ''He was a pilot. It cost the government a million dollars to train him to fly. So he should have been held to an even higher standard."


Even retired Lieutenant Colonel Albert C. Lloyd Jr., a former Texas Air National Guard personnel chief who vouched for Bush at the White House's request in February, agreed that Bush walked away from his obligation to join a reserve unit in the Boston area when he moved to Cambridge in September 1973. By not joining a unit in Massachusetts, Lloyd said in an interview last month, Bush ''took a chance that he could be called up for active duty. But the war was winding down, and he probably knew that the Air Force was not enforcing the penalty."

Bullshit, left-wing character assassination...

Allegations without an ounce of proof....by Democratic hitmen.


On September 5, 1973, Bush requested discharge from Texas Air National Guard service, to be effective on October 1. He wrote, "I am moving to Boston, Massachusetts to attend Harvard Business School as a full time student." Jerry Killian recommended approval of the discharge the following day. Bush had completed five years, four months, and five days toward his six-year service obligation.

On October 1, 1973, Bush was honorably discharged from the Texas Air National Guard and transferred to the inactive reserves in Denver, Colorado. On November 21, 1974, he was discharged from the Air Force Reserve, ending his military service.

IRR typically receives no pay and is not obligated to drill, conduct annual training, or participate in any military activities

You'll remember Mr. Killian was the guy whose records were forged by Dan Rather in a foiled attempt to further smear Bush....

In 1999, the other smear merchant, Ben Barnes, former Democratic Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, while an active fundraiser for John Kerry, claimed he
he used his political influence to preferentially refer people to the National Guard, including Bush.

Yeah....you gotta be a moron to buy that one...the liar was actively working for Kerry at the time.
