An educated Republican is just selfish person where an uneducated Republican is just stupid.

[TankYouVeryMuch]

yeah, only difference is he doesn't support the war like the dozens of college republicans he interviews and all of them choose not to enlist.

[Ballllssssss]

@greggymcgurks Seems awfully intelligent to say!

@seppsters You also need to check the current status of veterans among Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate. Democrats far outweigh Republicans in this respect. I am a veteran, I am not a Democrat, can't stand their two faced lying ass's any more than I can Republicans...I give Democrats currently holding public office that credit, more of them wore a uniform than Republicans.

@yfna1

Wow, after checking military personnel voting polls, they do vote OVERWHELMINGLY for the republican party.

So funny it is to see a bunch of hypocrits calling republicans selfish, when practically noone from the democrat side bothers to enlist.

@yfna1

Lots of democrats supported Clinton's wars. Why didn't they enlist ? In fact if I had to guess(!), I'd guess most people enlisting are republican to start with.

@greggymcgurks

While an educated democrat is just a hypocrite and an uneducated democrat is just an irrational fanatic.

If you oppose a war, why would you choose to serve in the military? Actually the concept of democracy carries with it the burden of defending that democracy. It's earliest antecedents required military service. Even the Roman Republic a much closer version of the American form of democracy placed responsibility on property holding citizens to serve in its armies. Nothing is required for you to have an opinion, however what is that opinion worth without the conviction to defend it?

While I'm still opposed to now Obama's Iraq war, I think Max Blumenthal is a complete idiot.

There is nothing in this nation's laws or the concept of democracy which requires a person to qualify in some manner before having an opinion for or against something.

Indeed, Max Blumenthal is opposed to the war, without the very qualification he asks of Republicans who favor it - military service in Iraq.

Young people without jobs! Young people whose parents are without jobs! Listen up!

The elite college people on view in this video have plenty of work for you to do! They need you to fight their wars for them! That is your function: Fighting the wars of the wealthy & well-to-do so that they don't have to get their fingernails dirty! And let's face it: Is there anything more awful than getting your fingernails dirty? Have a heart! Keep the fingernails of these college people clean!

@ailingequation Young man, my final attempt to REACH you.You say you oppose work place

discrimination based on sex,religion,gender.My God have you not noticed who supports such discrim?

Your Party! The new Repub.Senator from Kentucky wants to repeal the civil rights of 1964.The R's hate gays & oppose marraige equality.You correctly point out that the Brits support the NHS and welfare acts.

Your party vehemently opposes these humane acts.To say the R pary is diverse, is nuts. Best Wishes
