A foreign exchange
Yesterday I took a few of the international students to Walmart and FoodMaxx. In the parking lot at FoodMaxx while we were loading up my trunk with a hundred dollars worth of groceries I suddenly remembered the "Support the Troops" static sticker Paul gave me last week and climbed in the back seat so I could display it in the rear window. Since the people next to us were backing out I closed the door as I tried to make sure the sticker was centered. The international students were still behind the car loading the groceries in and I guess they thought I couldn't hear them because one of the Europeans said to another, "I could never put a political sticker on my car." I was a bit taken aback because I'm so used to the American left at least pretending to support the troops. But I must say, the honesty was refreshing. UPDATE: Well, they would pretend to support our troops if they could just figure out who they are. UPDATE II: Hm, LGF has evidence that the DNC was aware of the fact that they weren't actually posting a picture of an American soldier (or at least whoever photoshopped the picture was). I guess they just can't bear the thought of actually supporting our troops. Which goes back to my original point...at least the Europeans are honest. UPDATE III: LGF has another update saying that the DNC may not have realized that the photo was photoshopped because a previously photoshopped version is available at istockphoto.com. Either way, it is still embarrassing for the DNC that apparently no one there is aware of what an actual US military uniform looks like. And also, in the keywords describing the photo at istock "canadian" is listed as the third one down. It makes a lot more sense to me that whoever created the DNC page is just ignorant and doesn't know (or particularly care) what an American soldier looks like. I was having a hard time figuring out why they'd actually purposely use a Canadian soldier.
