my own ‘last paragraph’ to the remarks of Michael Thomas, of Kentucky.

MY son is fighting today, risking HIS life…and some are dying…for your right to assist our enemies. That must make you very proud.

To think for a second that you have served this country in combat is laughable. You’re too busy munching a croissant and pretending to have some clue about what makes this country ‘America’. Easy for you to sit and flap your fingers or look pretty in front of a camera while ‘someone else’ puts his/her life on the line for your privelege; typical elitist. You spend hours denegrating our current president, who didn’t create the mess in Baghdad or North Korea, and exactly zero time questioning the ones who did; typical elitist.

My son is currently in Iraq…somewhere. Air Force Special Ops., Sgt. We haven’t heard from him in a while…and we pray. We pray for his safety…and we pray for our country. We also pray that critics such as you will someday grow a brain and become a productive piece of this incredible country; instead of spending all your time in the red…throwing rocks at those who make your life possible.

Mark Tedrow
