On This Memorial Day, I Ask ...

[no_hypocrisy]

That you not be fooled into thinking that being liberal means you have no respect for our men and women in the armed forces. That is a lie perpetrated by people who have a monetary agenda and have never served a second of military duty.

That you remember that George McGovern, the man the right labels a peacenik, flew dozens of missions in WW II.

That when you hear a Republican talk about tax cuts, that means benefits for veterans as well as food stamps for the needy, some of whom are a veteran's family.

That you remember that it was George Bush Jr.'s administration that tried to close a VA hospital in New York City that serves THOUSANDS of personnel. A liberal Democrat, Charles Schumer, kiboshed this craven act.
