		<description>Hey this has been educational folks.

Thank you Sadly No readers: You have proven to me, once again by the tone of the comments here, that I made the right choice by changing my politics. I used to be just like you all. Rightfully I changed my mindset when I saw too many people taking advantage of your liberal views; too many government programs enabling the able to not take care of their own.

I am so content I am no longer a Democrat. But I am totally ashamed at how you all just come over and attack like this- but alas, you&#039;re Democrats and thats what they do. Attack. Accuse. Make assumptions. And nothing else.

You&#039;re all losers as far as I&#039;m concerned and I am proud to no longer be politically associated with your lot.</description>

		<description>Seth is Raven&#039;s brother who fought in the war of 1812. Like Raven, he calls bullshit on all war vets who lost only one limb and/or have PTSD as losing a limb is no-big-deal-get-over-it and PTSD-aka-Shell-Shock-doesn&#039;t-exist. 

Like Raven, Seth has never enlisted and will never enlist and if a draft ever came to pass would shit his pants.

He may or may not be &quot;horny for jarheads&quot; like Raven but could never admit it because Raven hates teh gay even more than she hates vets who cry when they lose limbs.</description>

		<description>Raven is entitled to her opinion; this is a prime example of nazi-like leftist or should I say stormtrooper-like shouting down of someone who dare asks &quot;is this fake&quot;?  

Dare not to call journalists for what they are; leftists who lie...do not question the religion of moral relativism and the lovers of socialist policies.

This is why my son was &#039;advised&#039; to go on meds; for Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome; it&#039;s something that people have made up in order to collect benefits; which is what lefties love so much; government bennies.

It&#039;s not like they could consider WORKING...WORK is a word that is foreign to them...but who is it that pays those government benefits?

People like Raven and I, who WORK....

My son is not on his meds anymore and he is working his way back out from under his dining room table on the 4th of July when cretins like you are out there partying like the grasshopper with no thoughts about the morrow...

Too funny...I&#039;m not sure if commenting here is going to help; lefties don&#039;t know anything about debate or making a point, just insults.

Ask &lt;a href=&quot;http://freedomfolks.com&quot;&gt;Jake and Michelle&lt;/a&gt;...they&#039;ve not only been yelled at, but their cameras thrown onto the ground, their tires slashed, and they&#039;ve been physically assaulted in the streets; for having a different opinion than the International ANSWER crowd.

And that is what this country has come to - shouting down Minutemen and calling them the Minuteklan.

And trolling blogs hurling insults because you have nothing better to do than sit behind a computer screen in your underwear acting tough.

I&#039;ve noticed, though, that people like you don&#039;t act so tough in person...</description>

		<description>Hey, Raven, it&#039;s really neat that you&#039;ve got such extensive experience in this area that you can say that the &quot;man written about in the WAPO article just doesn’t fit my experiences...something isn’t right.&quot; Oddly enough, though, the description of Troy&#039;s PTSD symptoms do seem to dovetail with the clinical description of the disorder, found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Perhaps you&#039;ve heard of it, being all sorts of an expert and so compassionate and all?

&quot;The essential feature of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is the development of characteristic symptoms following exposure to an extreme traumatic stressor involving direct personal experience of an event that involves actual or threatened death or serious injury, or other threat to one&#039;s physical integrity; or witnessing an event that involves death, injury, or a threat to the physical integrity of another person; or learning about unexpected or violent death, serious harm, or threat of death or injury experienced by a family member or other close associate (Criterion A1). The person&#039;s response to the event must involve intense fear, helplessness, or horror (or in children, the response must involve disorganized or agitated behavior) (Criterion A2). The characteristic symptoms resulting from the exposure to the extreme trauma include persistent reexperiencing of the traumatic event (Criterion B), persistent avoidance of stimuli associated with the trauma and numbing of general responsiveness (Criterion C), and persistent symptoms of increased arousal (Criterion D). The full symptom picture must be present for more than 1 month (Criterion E), and the disturbance must cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning (Criterion F).</description>

		<description>Two things to add here.

1) I&#039;ve been visiting Raven&#039;s blog for about two years, and have read numerous posts herein on medical issues. From this and from correspondence, I know her to be a highly compassionate person.

2) What I see here is a typical lefty attack formation. One person sees a post he/she thinks would make a good target, then goes back to whatever liberal blog he/she lives at and says, &quot;Hey, Raven left herself vulnerable to a lefty attack! Lets all go over to her blog and gang-bang it!&quot;

Next thing you know, a whole armada of &quot;progressives&quot; arrives to smother her comment section. Lovely.

What&#039;s worse is that folks like yourselves  only &quot;support&quot; the troops when it&#039;s politically expedient to do so, as in some of the above comments.

Finally, liberals have a nasty habit of being abusive, as is also evidenced above. When the left gathers for a demonstration, for example, even a peace demonstration,it is usually anything but peaceful. Property, both public and private, gets vandalized or trashed, groups of people loudly  chant obscenities, bags of feces are thrown, etc.

I would say something like, &quot;You should be ashamed of yourselves&quot;, but that would be dumb, because in order to be ashamed of onesself, one has to possess a sense of shame, and there is little or none of that on the left.</description>
