Rangel really is a jerk

On the radio a bit earlier I heard part of his blowing on some Sunday political show. Basically repeated the crap that 'mainly minorities with no choices join the military', and then said- this is paraphrasing, I can't remember the exact wording- that 'people who go to Yale or Harvard have choices, and won't join the military, so his national servitude draft bill will force them to join, which will prevent war because none of the politicians will a: want their kids( who ALL go to Ivy League universities, right?) to be involved and b: they won't want to take heat from the parents whose kids go to said Ivy League universities.

This just pisses me off beyond belief. Only people who go to 'real' colleges have 'choices', all politicians and parents of people going to 'real' colleges are assholes who won't support this country in time of need, and the people going to the 'real' colleges would ever think of joining the military.

Which must be a big suprise to all those people who left said colleges, or have degrees from said colleges, and signed up anyway.

And let us not forget that interesting piece from Rangel about taking lots of money back to New York City where it 'belongs', that places like Mississippi get more than their share, etc.

I must correct myself: Rangel isn't a jerk, he's an asshole.
