I Earned The Coast Guard Medal!

NUGGETS FOR THE NOGGIN

I EARNED THE COAST GUARD MEDAL

By Jim “Gymbeaux” Brown, June 28, 2012 

Just thought everyone would like to know that I earned the prestigious Coast Guard Medal.  I spent 20 years in the U. S. Coast Guard serving our country and I am so proud.  By the way did I not tell you that I also was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor?  Yep, sure was.  That ought to look good on my resume wouldn’t you say? 

But of course it is a lie, I won neither one.  Can I be punished for saying I did?  Not according to the questionable judges on the U. S. Supreme Court.  Today, June 28, 2012, a day of infamy to quote a famous president, our U. S. Supreme Court ruled 6 to 3 that anyone can claim they have earned a military award and there is nothing anyone can do about it under, are you ready for this, FREEDOM OF SPEECH! 

Words simply fail me at a time like this and sometimes vulgarity just can’t be replaced with civility.  At least 6 of the 9 judges have their heads so far up their asses they will never see the light of day.  How many military people gave their lives so that these 6 people, I use the term with reservations, can say it is okay to lie about receiving awards reserved for only the select few who demonstrated courage under the worst of conditions; conditions I might at that these 6 probably have never see in their lifetime. 

Freedom of Speech has just been lowered to authorize anyone to say whatever they want regardless of whether it is a lie or not; go figure.  By the way, did I tell you I was elected to the Congress of the United States?  Under their definition of Freedom of Speech, I did nothing wrong by stating so even though it is not true.  I wonder if that means someone can say they are a police officer or an FBI agent because of course they have Freedom of Speech.  According to these justices freedom of speech has just become a right to lie with immunity. 

Is this a great country or what? 

I was awarded several military honors during my 20 years.  As of June 28, 2012 they are meaningless!  Thank you very much!  I paid my price to our country and I have a right to be pissed I can only hope people who read this are as well. 

Oh by the way, did I tell you that I won the Super Bowl back in 1995?  I did you know.
