Oh come on. If you read some bleeding heart liberal publication that was making a big deal about how some Republican Senator was being hard-nosed with a man that was doing coastal restoration service that helped the environment, would you be crying about how that GOP Senator didn’t thank the man for his coastal restoration work that helped the environment?
She was conducting a hearing of a man with the Corp of Engineers regarding his service of leading
coastal restoration here in the USA, she’s not questioning a man regarding his service of leading our troops that are fighting (and dying for our country) over in Iraq or Afghanistan.
But yes, if she were questioning a man regarding his service of leading our troops that are fighting (and dying for our country) over in Iraq or Afghanistan, it would be nice if she started off with a “thank you for your service,” like all these Democratic Senators did during their hearings of Gen. Petraeus:
US Senator Barack Obama saying “thank you for your service” to Gen. Petraeus

US Senator Hillary Clinton saying “thank you for you service” to Gen. Petraeus

etc
And yes, for bleeding heart liberals that don’t like people in a position of authority being hard-nosed and not respecting someone for the coastal restoration work they do, the work with the environment they do, the work as a CEO of a car company that they do, or whatever work they do… yeah, Christ wants us to be polite and respectful to everybody for the work they do. It would be nice if we lived in a world we everybody went around thanking all the hard workers on this planet for the honest, hard work they do.
