GOP's big tent

~blahg-guy here to temporarily take over posting duties....~

One would think that the Bushies would be quick to welcome troops returning from abroad to Bush's events. Shedding of blood and serving the country and all that, especially in the name of a policy and worldview that has been proven a failure.

But not for this soldier:

"The president was visiting Mankato and Tim Walz wanted to see him. A teacher who has 23 years of service in the National Guard and who recently returned home from overseas, Walz wanted to hear his commander-in-chief.

He did.

But only after being threatened with arrest and subjected to a political interrogation. Welcome home, good and faithful soldier. You may see the president.

But keep your mouth shut."

Read the rest. It's appalling, yet not in the least surprising.
