wordinistaI was on my way home from taking the dogs on their morning walk over the causeway, and found myself flipping through radio stations, like one often does while driving. I stopped at one of my two favorite stations (classic rock, mostly) in time to hear a caller ripping the morning DJ a new one for "apologizing." I stopped and listened a little while, and it turned out that on or around Veterans' Day, the DJ made a comment that was something to the effect of, "I am sorry for all that the POWs had to endure" or thereabouts. Okay, fine. No big deal.
This caller then said the following: "The problem with Republicans is that they always want to give POWs a free pass on everything."

A free pass? I... wait. What? What? Hello, are you completely, entirely void of anything even remotely resembling basic human empathy?
A free pass. Because, you know, that's the whole reason why people become POWs in the first place. Because they get all sorts of preferential treatment for it.

Stay classy, anonymous asshole.
