Thanks for taking up for Cindy Sheehan. She is a Gold Star mother.

It is refreshing to see right wing republicans finally giving her the respect she deserves.

PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER uses Gold Stars TOO! — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 23:08:57 +0000

I was not aware that the star symbol was copyrighted by Robbie’s crusade against our next Senator Rick Noriega! Yay!!!

Well, perhaps that is one of the most thoughtful reasons republicans hoomskul their students. Come on Robbie, are you going to type a response, If so, your homework is: ” To prevent evil, devilish and irreverent commie public school teachers from disgracing the sacred symbolism of the Gold Star presentations.”

I have never heard this one but Robbie, let me ask, Did you took you pill today? Need to take you pills swettie.

Look, I understand that gold stars are given out to all sorts of people for all sorts of things that are completely unrelated to the Military.

I don’t expect that to change. Nor do I expect people who have never served to truly understand the significance of the Military Gold Stars.

I do expect Rep. Noriega to understand that difference.

When I was 5, I received gold stars too. No big deal. But, again, at this point in my life — I wouldn’t accept any other prize called “The Gold Star” award.

And I have stated my respect for Rep. Noriega several times on this blog:

Though I donâ€™t care a whole lot for his politics, I have a great deal of respect for Rep. Noriega (who is also a Lt. Colonel in the Army National Guard). If a Democrat is positioned to defeat Cornyn (doubtful here in Texas), Rep. Noriega is a decent and honest man â€” we could certainly do worse.

I dont get it. What are you complaining about?

That a group of bloggers gave out gold stars to some folks and you think it demeans the Gold Star families?

You are kidding, right? I mean lets get a bit serious. This is a pretty stupid stretch if you ask me.

Only an idiot would confuse the two.

You’re really reaching with this one Robbie.

This is really stretching things too far. Gold Stars are not exclusively associated with military families and even then many Gold Star families support Noriega with his heroic military service.

Instead of this silly partisan attack why didn’t you write about how Cornyn dishonors the Alamo and all Texans with his remark that “Civil liberties don’t matter if you are dead.”

A Patriotic Texan,

Wow. My kid’s elementary school teacher gives him gold stars. That commie B1TCH!

I hear she even gives gold stars to kids in military families. And they accept it! Shouldn’t they know better?

I hear the TPA gave out Silver Stars too. I bet that has some military meaning they clearly intended to desecrate as well.

Instead of, you know, meaning it as a general positive reinforcement like the rest of society means it.
