BURNET, Texas (Oct. 7) – Despite all their patriotic proclamations of “support the troops,” the current crop of Republicans seeking their party’s presidential nomination really don’t support all of our troops, especially if the soldier doesn’t fit their moral configuration.

I join my fellow Texans and my fellow Americans in being satisfied that a man responsible for mass murder has received his due. I congratulate those who brought about this day for their bravery and skill.
