Kudos to Obama re: the booing of a soldier at GOP debate.
"We don't believe in standing silent when that happens."

There are so many things NOT to agree with from the GOP and recently the right wingnuts have been abhorrently showing their true colors.
There's nothing commendable or debatably "right" about booing any soldier who has put his life on the line, nor have I ever witnessed progressives
or liberals wanting or wishing to just idly standby to let someone die. Incredible they fancy liberals as godless. Apparently these are their "christian values".

Silence is agreement, silence is the way of the coward. I don't see one GOP candidate that is worthy of even attempting to hold the office of the presidency for this nation.

Thank you to President Obama for calling this out! May it be continued until the ignorant are educated.

1. I also like that. Many things more he should be saying, but this is
good, because the Republican's disgusting and unpatriotic displays of venom serve to help define not just the Republicans, but also Democrats as they look at the true nature of this bigotry and say 'we don't believe in standing silent'. That is the thinking that leads to change. Not standing silent.
