***POLITICAL DAILY THREAD--RED STATE EDITION***

Remember Jessica Lynch? U.S. POW for 8 or 9 days back in the beginning of Iraq War. She was blasted by the press for fabricating or embellishing her story. Trouble was, she never said these things,-- that she fought like Rambo. I opened up the story just to see what she was now doing.

I'm glad I revisited her story. I believe she was tossed into this by the Pentagon, anxious to have a great heroine story during an unpopular war. How could she stop it? Her parents or even her immediate superiors didn't have near the power to stop the Pentagon spin machine. She might have even enjoyed her new found noteriety a bit too much.  At this time, and actually to this day, her focus was/is recovering from horrible wounds and a horrible ordeal. To this day, she receives hate mail, as if she started any of it.

This story is by CNN. I don't trust CNN much, so if someone finds new evidence that she was an active participant in all this--post a link!  Otherwise, she might not be the first female Rambo, but she gives me another reason to be proud of being American.

Thanks for posting this WV. I had forgotten about Jessica Lynch. She is an American hero to me.

This is what I remember about her story. She injured badly. Some doctor let some American soldiers where they were hiding Lyuch and they came in at night time, recued her and carrier to a field hospital.

Lynch was taken there after her supply convoy took a wrong turn and was ambushed on March 23, 2003.

In a harrowing firefight, 11 fellow soldiers were killed and others wounded, captured, and taken to a separate location from Lynch.

Lynch suffered a concussion and crushing injuries to her left leg. She could barely move.

I think President O'Bama is one and done. The only problem is, he is our Commander-in-Chief and as a veteran I have to respect his office. I hope the Republicans don't harm themselves so bad nobody votes for them. God Bless America! RTR!

Today is the 39th anniversary of Roe vs Wade.

Very controversial issue. I am Pro Life. I will leave it at that.

I did not know that. I just looked it up and she is very vocal for Pro Life, NOW.

I don't think Newt has it won yet but it just became a two horse race. Romney is not dead but he is chasing Newt now.

She has been pro life for a long time now.

Someone posted this on my Facebook page yesterday. I believe most everyone on her will appreciate this:

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan". All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A.... (substituting grades for dollars - something closer to home and more readily understood by all).
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.

The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. It could not be any simpler than that.
Remember, there IS a test coming up. The 2012 elections.

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Dems hauling out Gabby Gifford every chance they get. Opportunist. DWS now calls her, "my best friend". LOL

Everyone talking about how great she looks. A little better than what I'd expect for someone that had been shot in the face. She does seem a little smarter now.
