The Republicans Got Nothing on Noriega

Their desperation is showing. They keep trying but this is the best they can come up with:

From UrbanGrounds:
The Texas Progressive Alliance — is there nothing so sacred and respected by the military that the left isn’t willing to disgrace or desecrate? Maybe you could come up with some kind of heart-shaped, purple award for your alliance, too.

Rep. Noriega (who is also a Lt. Colonel in the Army National Guard) — you should know better. You should have politely declined the award, and used the opportunity to educate the Texas Progressive Alliance on what a Gold Star presentation really means.

Since it’s not likely that UrbanGrounds will post my reply, I’ll post it below:

Let’s take a look at others who “disgrace or desecrate” the Gold Star:

Elementary teachers all across the US.
FIRE DEPARTMENTS
The U.S. General Services Administration Gold Star Award for Excellence
Cygwin Gold Star award
UT at San Antonio
News Stations
Volunteers
Police Officers and Hwy Patrolmen
Software Companies

The list goes on and on and on… Ya got nothing.

I also know Gold Star families many of whom support Noriega.

Here’s a holiday message from Rick Noriega:

Let’s get Rick Noriega elected. Please make a contribution today.
