Pappy Yokum Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 I can't believe that you just called every service organization and members of AFSA, The Legion, M.O.A.A., (see the full list below) unpatriotic. Politics, (in red) regardless of how you think your agenda is universal, is prohibited here. Calling vets unpatriotic for holding the line is claptrap. http://www.yourdictionary.com/claptrap Kirk, Since you can only speak for you, and can't resist politicizing any veteran's thread, I will answer your very disturbing political post with no politics. Your pious attacking other vets if they do not agree with your politics is uncalled for. Reading your "we" third person, changed to I, and me, since you only can speak for you, and would certainly not be intentionally pushing a political agenda, and doing that by calling other vets unpatriotic for holding the line on vet benefits retiree or no, changes it somewhat does it not? So rereading your post as first person, instead of the "royal we" you use a lot, I am sorry that: (Corrected quote to first person) "Sometimes I think that most of us I have lost sight of what real patriotism is. Even different dictionaries have differing definitions of the term but as individuals we seem to I get hung up on demonstrating it and to forget what it really is. We I get caught up in the trappings of patriotism in much the same way that many of us I do with my religious belief. Just as many of us I will state that I am Christian & attend church while ignoring I ignore practices that demonstrate our my beliefs, we I like to state that we are I am patriotic by standing for the anthem and yet are I am unwilling to actually sacrifice anything for the betterment of my country. We seem to I believe that having worn our countries my country's uniform makes me patriotic." There, now your words speak only for yourself. I do hope the admins remove only the political posts. I would not presume to comment on your patriotism or religious practices, that is none of my business. And commenting on the state of the worlds hypocrites and political patriotism is in appropriate here. Since you post as if you are an arbiter of what is allowed here, you already know that." end corrected quote to first person. I do not come here to read incitements and pious claptrap intended to elicit claps, thus the word clap+trap. I come here for the friendships and camaraderie of the RVrs in Escapees and on the road.
