I was reading a post at Buster Foghorn and it got me thinking… here’s an excerpt:
My Dad asked what was wrong and Grandpa said the beef was rancid. I remember that Grandpa didn’t pick through the stew trying to find some good pieces of beef; he sent it all back.
Similarly, if Senator Kerry is found to have made any misstatements during this controversy, there is little reason to pick through his various iterations to try to find a defense somewhere.
Good post.. you should go read it. But my reaction to this article was that sometimes I think our generation has lowered our expectations of ourselves and each other and should learn from our parents and grandparents. This issue with Senator Kerry is just another example of lowered expectations. Too many of us have decided that it’s ok, maybe even expected, that our “leaders” will not support our troops and president during wartime because that would be inconvenient for them when trying to take over control of the House and/or Senate at all costs… because the goal is not victory in the war, it is victory in the election.
