"It" being any one or all of the following: reality, truth, common sense, discretion, decency, discernment, wisdom.
It's a shame that Reggie Rivers gets to call himself a former Denver Bronco, since I do like this team so. A less-than-average running back with an higher-than-average-work ethic demonstrates a much-lower-than-average intelligence by calling our much-better-and-and-braver-than-average soldiers "slaves."
It is also a shame that he exacerbates his ignorance despite it being cloaked in the emperor's robes of pseudo-intellect by trying to prove himself in a series of dialogical emails with a complaintant (the right minded Brad at Pool of Thought), rather than just leaving well enough alone and letting us just think he's completely missing the point. Rivers runs dry with this latest effort at liberal rhetoric that demeans US Troops while at the same time offering hollow platitudes of support. Damning with faint praise, indeed.
To read his propaganda on Memorial day is offensive to me on so many levels...as a US citizen, as a true supporter of the servicemen's sacrifices, and as a child, grandchild, and greatgrandchild of veterans of wars.
At least he has taken any ambiguity out of the question about whether or not he has any clue whatsoever about the high price paid to afford him the right to babble inanely without insight on this matter.
