Nice college paper here
There really IS a difference between the red and blue states I think Pat Tillman is not a hero: He got what was coming to him By Rene Gonzalez April 28, 2004 When the death of Pat Tillman occurred, I turned to my friend who was watching the news with me and said, "How much you want to bet they start talking about him as a 'hero' in about two hours?" Of course, my friend did not want to make that bet. He'd lose. In this self-critical incapable nation, nothing but a knee-jerk "He's a hero" response is to be expected. I've been mystified at the absolute nonsense of being in "awe" of Tillman's "sacrifice" that has been the American response. Mystified, but not surprised. True, it's not everyday that you forgo a $3.6 million contract for joining the military. And, not just the regular army, but the elite Army Rangers. You know he was a real Rambo, who wanted to be in the "real" thick of things. I could tell he was that type of macho guy, from his scowling, beefy face on the CNN pictures. Well, he got his wish. Even Rambo got shot in the third movie, but in real life, you die as a result of being shot. They should call Pat Tillman's army life "Rambo 4: Rambo Attempts to Strike Back at His Former Rambo 3 Taliban Friends, and Gets Killed." (more)

Nothing to worry about--he's just one of those UMass underachievers.

"I think we have found reeds "hero"." U2- that was a MORONIC statement from you.. I did state that some in this war were NOT heros...Obviously Tillman did not fall into the non-hero class...

RE:Nice college paper here
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
- Samuel Adams American Patriot & Politician 1722 - 1803

RE:Nice college paper here
KG and EvilMav..you two are the shit..I wish I could grow up and be just like both of you..someday if God willing it happens, I will be the happiest guy alive...I would luv to wake up one day and say " I am a moderator of the Mavs board" and your not!! Or I could also be like EvilMav too, that would be almost as cool..
But life sucks, I will go on being bashed...poor poor me..I really cant handle this...You guys win...your the best right wing cowboys in the whole wide world. I should have known better than to mess with TEXAS- god knows thats a bad thing to try...I learned my lesson..i will bow down to the Message board kings...
