10 Reasons Why Republicans Seldom Serve in the Military

clippers remarks: Here are 10 reasons why so few Republicans show up at the military induction center.

1. World War Two was the last white war. A war fought with a large white participation. Korea saw a growth in minority participation, but by the time of Vietnam, class distinctions had grown, and war was mainly fought by a collection of white trash southern hillbillies, whites on the run from the law in the States, and blacks and Mexicans. War became a half-way house for those perceived as losers, while increasing numbers of whites decided to spend their time going to college on student deferments and amassing cash in lucrative careers.

2. Many white right-wingers, while they won?t admit it, don?t like blacks because they consider them to be lowly niggers. They don?t want to eat next to one in the mess hall, and certainly not sleep under one in a bunk bed.

3. Most right wing successful politicians and pundits got where they are because they focused on the prize, advancing themselves. The

One of the paradoxes of the last fifty years is that members of the Republican Party, the ultra right of which champions both morality and patriotism, almost never serve in the military. John McCain is a rare exception. Since criticizing others for lacking patriotism is a center pillar activity of the far right, why do the American people not fault the party for its almost total no-show in the military service?

Isn?t backing war when you yourself won?t serve in one, isn?t that a form of hypocrisy?

Democrats in Congress have out-served Republicans in the military almost two to one. Even little Teddy Kennedy with all his millions served in the Navy.


Rush Limbaugh and Romney and Newt and all the rest of them never served. Since patriotism is so important to them, why do they never serve? In fairness to Palin, she did hint that she had some front line experience because she lived in Alaska which is near Russia.

The biopic follows the life and career of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali (Will Smith) also known as ?The Greatest?. He was the only boxer to become the world?s heavyweight champion three times. He was born in 1942 and was called Cassius Clay. When in 1954 somebody stole his new bike, Ali couldn?t stand up for himself, so he went to a gym to learn how to fight. Ali trained six days a week and was soon really good at running, skipping and, of course, boxing. In 1964 Clay converted to Islam and changed his name to Muhammad Ali. The movie depicts his rise and fall in sports and politics, including forfeiture of his boxing license and championship title for his principled refusal to serve in the military during the Vietnam War and his comeback battles against Joe Frazier and George Foreman.
