Ron Dardis Is A Democratic Party Tool Who Supports Abuse Of The Flag For Political Purposes

From Radio Iowa:

The leader of the Iowa National Guard says the Guard is "quite possibly the strongest" it's been in generations. Iowa National Guard Adjutant General Ron Dardis delivered the annual "Condition of the Guard" address this morning at the statehouse. Dardis told lawmakers the Iowa Guard is setting recruiting records, but Dardis warned soldiers are worried the public's support for the military may wane as the war continues...

...Dardis also thanked Governor Chet Culver for ordering, just after he took office in January, that flags be flown at half-staff on the day of funerals for Iowa soldiers who are killed on active duty. Dardis began his speech with a moment of silence for the latest Iowa soldier to die in the war.

Even though Ron Dardis doesn't apparently have a party affiliation, he's been appointed to all sorts of positions by the Vilsack administration: Adjutant General of the Iowa National Guard in 1999, the head of Homeland Security and Emergency Management and the Military, the Information Technical Council, and was on the search committee to find a new executive director of the Iowa Communications Network. As we all know, Vilsack was hyperpartisan to the core, stacking the deck with Democrats as hated and awful as Michael Gartner at every chance he could. And if you wanted a seat on the Iowa Supreme Court, all you had to do was be a Democrat and pay for it. So it's pretty safe to deduce that Ron Dardis is a Democrat, or at least a willing tool of the Democrats.

Chet Culver and the Democrats are abusing the flag for political purposes. Ron "The Tool" Dardis supports the flag continuing to be be abused in such a manner.

Oh, I can hear the clicking of keyboards of all the anti-war lefty bloogers right now. They'll be upset with such comments because "their man" is being criticized and he just so happens to be in a uniform. They're the usual bunch of "we support the troops, but not the war" types.

But as former Marine Warrant Officer Dan Abolins said at a John McCain rally in Iowa City: "These people saying they actually support the troops is crap."

"Honoring" fallen troops by lowering the flag to half staff in their home state or adopted home state or childhood home state or some relative's home state is bullshit. It's a political statement. It's a continuation of the "bring the troops home today before the job is done" surrender/loser/French/I-Hate-America mentality.

Put the fucking flag back at the top of the pole, you Democrats, or we're going to shove that flagpole up your asses in the next election.
