This is not a question of Right v. Left, but Right v. Wrong

The Mission Statement on the Hilton Web site is:
To be the first choice of the world's travelers.

Our Mission Statement needs to be equally clear:
To show Hilton that bad choices have bad consequences.

I'd just about completed my musings on an issue that I'd had with the President's State of the Union speech, when I stumbled across an op-ed piece in the Minnesota Daily which began:

I am a soldier in the U.S. Army Reserves. I enlisted because I support Operation Iraqi Freedom and wanted to do my part to help. I am sick and tired of anti-war liberals who are outspoken against the war, but also claim they support the troops. That is really starting to piss me off.

My diary was to open with the following words:

The President and his party continue to do it. They tell us to Support the Troops, proclaiming that their way of supporting the troops is superior and unimpeachable. But one look at the actions that follow their words exposes a hollow, self-serving, and dangerous type of support. Their empty rhetoric and insipid deeds do little to concretely help our returning veterans and their families - and they do even less to tangibly support those still wearing the uniform in combat.
