Bush salutes new Americans at July 4 ceremony

I can take a few guesses, and I can almost guarantee it was a whole bunch of griping.You know the typical far left wing insults. You don't even need to it see on tv, just read the comments on here from the lefties =D

Why is MSNBC even on the air? Nobody watches it. Neil Cavuto's financial show beats anything on MSNBC. And all they show is prison shows that tries to humanize people who should be killed because they are killers.

...such as "there is no word in French for 'entrepreneur'". Always loved that one. "my fellow Amistads"

They should thank the hecklers for providing them with their first lesson in free speech. It's a rare occasion when that a$$hole has any public contact and it's easy to see why.

I agree.

HE DESERVES MORE THAN JAIL??? HOW ABOUT HE SHOULD BE HUNG FOR ALL HIS LIES-JUST LIKE HIS COMRADE-IN-ARMS SADDAM HUSSEIN.THEY R BOTH TERRORISTS BUT GEORGIE BOY IS WORST THAN SADDAM EVER WAS.A LIAR,TRAITOR,KILLER,PIECE OF CRAP.MAY HE TAKE THE ROAD OF JESSE HELMS-SOONER THAN LATER.

He hasn't done any damage to me. I just got $1800 in the mail. How do you know what kind of reaction he deserves? Do you know him? Doubtful. All you know of him is what a group of people who generally do not like him decide to tell you (ie: media), and apparently you believe it.

Smitty, I know Bush for what he is DESPITE our so-called free press.

And that $1800 you just got in the mail will be coming back out of your pocket next year when you file your taxes. It's a loan, not a gift. And it was YOUR money to begin with. But this is the crux of the problem with so many Americans. They don't take the time to look at the whole picture. All they know is that they got a check in the mail. What are you going to do with it? BUY GAS? LOL

SC Smitty has had his head buried in the sand for the past eight years and doesn't have a clue about the truth about George Bush.

George Bush is the most dishonest president this country has ever seen or will see.

I guess you all are smart right? I imagine if you were there you could do a better job. It doesn't take brains to find fault. The man isn't perfect - but the job is hard, the complexities are unbelievable - and is it just possible that none of you have ever had anything as difficult to do? Heckling is so cheap, so easy, so "newsworthy." So is fault-finding. What are you doing, not saying, to make things better.

Eisenhower sent the first "advisers" into Vietnam. Look it up, if you can figure out how to use "THE GOOGLE".

leff2 You got it so right I'm proud of you for sure!!!.....I think this President took more heat from the cry baby liberals then any president ever did, but he works every day to keep us safe, no one looks at that but the Liberals act like they are zombies and are programed to hate him what Morons......I say this if by 20 your not a liberal you have no heart, if by 40 you are still liberal you automatically get a Doctorate in Stupidity!!!!!!

Thanks Clyde
Its amazing how aggressive and insulting liberals get when someone has a different opinion. This guy may need to attend some anger management classes or actually read a history book.

Kennedy is the one that got us in Vietnam that cost 60,000 American lives.

You were saying?

You may not be old enought to remember that Truman first got us involved in Indochina, and then Eisenhower continued our involvement, and it was actually a pet project of his VP, Nixon(as was the Bay of Pigs incursion). As the 50's wore on and we entered the 60's, our presence got larger & larger, both to attempt to win "hearts & minds" and to atttempt to stem the rising tide of insurgent war by the North Vietnamese, the Viet Minh, and by their neighbors, the Pathet Lao. As the decade "progressed", the flames rose higher: the flames of protesting Buddhist monks, the flames of continuing incursions by the North Vietnamese counterpointed by the flames of brutality fanned by Diem & Nhu. Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Westmoreland, McNamara, they all screwed up in SE Asia. For once the French had it right by bugging out, but of course, they had far more practice at it.

Hugh,it's nice that you learned how to Google.Now you should work on your reading.
Truman, sent the first advisers to Vietnam in 1950.The U.S. was also paying 80% of the French war cost as well as supplying them with weapons and equipment.
John F Kennedy sent the first combat troops.But you probably don't know the difference!
Advisers,advise-combat troops kill.

In Dec of 1961 first set of troops were sent in that were said to be "non-combat". Kennedy implemented air attacks and sent in green berets in 1961. Although, special forces were in Vietnam since 1950 to assist and advise. It was the Gulf of Tonkin resolution that allowed and started Johnson to increase military attacks in Vietnam. This resolution allowed him to do so without an actual declaration of war. The ground war as they called it didn't start until Johnson sent around 3500 marines(not sure of the exact number) into Vietnam in 1965.
From the chronology I have seen it depends on how you perceive which set of troops entering Vietnam was the start of the war. Most history books state that the US went to WAR from 1963 - 1969.
I'm not trying to correct anyone so nobody take offense. It just seems that different sources have different years and declarations of when the United States became involved in this war.

First Special Forces teams activated June,1952.

google timeline Viet Nam War and then you can quit arguing over things that are factual. There are somethings that are opinions, those can logically be discussed, but it is a waste of time to argue about facts

Katie-
We weren't arguing!
In your posts you were saying heckling is childish. Well there is a difference between direct and indirect.
You are no different because you are attempting to correct everyone! Calling people childish? So how is that any different?

Kennedy raised number of military personnel from 800 to 16000.It was his war.

Don't give me that BS. I took the test and I passed with a perfect score. The person who understands LEAST what this country stands for is the imbecile that got heckled, and rightly so, today. The person who lied us into an unprovoked attack against innocent Iraqis (and who is responsible for the death and injury of MILLIONS of same), the person who authorized TORTURE AS AMERICAN POLICY, the person who SHREDDED THE BILL OF RIGHTS, the person who ENDED HABEAS CORPUS, the person whose corrupt administration has sent our economy into a tailspin, the person who subverted the Justice Department to further his own destructive agenda, etc., etc., etc. The list goes on and on.

Don't tell me about what this country stands for. It's very easy to figure out. This country stands for anything and everything George W. Bush doesn't stand for.

Hugh Cantell....Do your parents know your on the computer, you should be studying not writing!!! Hugh think of this while your studying...If by 20 your not liberal you have no heart, if by 40 you are still Liberal you get a Doctorate in Stupidity....Get It??

Hugh....are you talking about the same innocent Iraqis that used chemical agents on women and children, or the innocent dictator that killed and tortured hundreds of thousands of his own people? Oh ya! I forgot about those poor fellas that be-headed those nasty Americans
BTW I hadn't seen the American policy on torture can you google that for me.
I believe when you grow up you'll make a fine fiction writer...maybe you can write your own history book!!

Clyde, both of my parents have passed on. I wish I could say the same for Bush and you. :)

Left2, I'm talking about the innocent Iraqi civilians who have been bombed, incinerated, tortured, murdered, etc. by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the other scumbags that scumbags like you support.

I hope you all rot in hell with Jesse Helms. Have a Happy Fourth! :)

Hugh: Don't write that book about your self, or any other book, they wont sell.

You need to get your history straight before calling someone out.
TRUMAN sent the first equipment and advisers in 1950.
EISENHOWER sent billions of dollars worth of equipment and a few hundred advisers but refused to send combat troops or even provide air support.
KENNEDY sent the first combat forces
In 1962 the US had 11,300 troops operating in South Vietnam. The only thing certain about Kennedy's role in Vietnam before he died was that he had escalated America's military, political, and maybe psychological commitment to Vietnam.
Grab a granola bar and go look it up.
Once you put boots on the ground it changes everything.

Left2 You are so right. And does anyone know why Kennedy put in the troops to combat communism? Because he made such a mess with the Bay of Pigs, and the Cuban Missle Crisis. He told the Cubans he would help them get back into Cuba to fight Castro who had just taken over. They went by boat. They were supposed to have U.S. troops and air cover, bu NO ONE showed up because Kennedy pulled them. Do you know how many were who were trying to fight Castro were killed and/or put in jail? And why Cuba is a communist country now? Thanks to Kennedy. So he tried to make up for it in Vietnam.

RJ Your statements are correct. You also might add that J.F. Kennedy and his brother Bobby (et al) spent their entire personal and political careers helping the middle class, the working man and the lower-income population of this country. Jack and Bobby initiated the Civil Rights Movement which later was enacted as law by LBJ.
Pres. Bush legislation and terms have benefited the elite and corporate America while squeezing out the middle class.

Most Americans did not want to get into WW II either. I sure wish someone had the foresight to launch a preemptive war against Hitler. Because that didn't happen it cost the world over 40 million lives. It today's terms that might be close to 100 million.

To call for a preemptive strike against a sovereign country is to ask the same for America. Why shouldn't other countries preemptively strike America because they fear our power? Your manner of thinking is moronic.

America is all about human rights and freedom. However, America does not have the legal or moral right to impose such standards on other countries.

My heart bleeds for citizens of other countries who are tortured and otherwise abused. That being said, it is up to the people of those countries to solve their problems.

Careful Mr. cement mason. Your heart may bleed for others, and that may be a noble thing, but I belive your approach is a little contrary to the teachings of a man whose palms once bled for you.

What does your comment have to do with International law and the right of sovereign countries to be free from preemptive attacks?

We're not talking crucifixion or religion here. We're talking International law and the right of sovereign nations.

And holds a PHD in nuclear physics.

On the same level as conservatism.

Joe, you are one bubble off of being level.

No, you are if you think your ideals are more valuable or more important than those of others who disagree with you.

You would fit nicely in a one-party country where your views and your views only are the correct ones.

Freedom of speech should only be valid when you agree with me, right, Joe? Come to think of it, there's a movie I haven't seen in a while: "Joe" with Peter Boyle

Steven100. You didn't do your home work. The $1800 is not subject to income taxes. You didn't read the whole story. You will know when you get your check, IF you get one.

No it isn't.

Joe, heckling is not free speech, it is slanderous and degrading. Read the history of the Constitution and you will know what "Free Speech is).

Heckling is indeed free speech. I know all about the history of the Constitution and what the founding fathers intended it to be.

The fact that you disagree with it does not make it slanderous and/or degrading.
