I would elaborate, but you obviously don't have the capacity to listen to any rational thought without first assigning a category of "us" or "them" to the speaker...

You jumped into the thread, wagging your finger at me for writing about people who willingly march with communists, socialists, marxists, anarchists and all-around terrorist supportering America-hating fools; and now you're offended?

Excuse me for laughing at you.

People who march with the likes of those I have already described either do not possess faculties capable of critical thinking, or they just plain approve of the lying, murderous, anti-pacifist history of said groups.

By offering support, marching with the leftists, the "pacifists" you are defending are aligning themselves with those who support the murder of our own troops. Have you even bothered to read anything about these groups who your Quaker friends are supporting? Go to their websites and read their own words.

If you were truly a friend of the Friends, you would learn these things and discourage a group that believes in pacifism from marching with those who wish death and violence on Americans and other freedom-loving peoples, soldier and civilian.

But I don't believe that is your reason for stopping by FR last night.

I suppose I hoped to find some mature discussion here.

Wrong again.

You never did answer any of my questions. If you are having trouble with the questions, perhaps you can ask your Friend friends how they can say they are pacifists, but march with so many groups with such bloody histories, and who continue with their bloody actions to this day?

No you didn't sweetie. You hoped to make a hit-and-run attack, to stroke your own misplaced self-esteem. And you expected that you could make your own sweeping accusations without anyone calling BS on you.

It seems that since you called me "sweetie", you are either assuming I'm female, or just simple minded, or perhaps both. Re-evaluate your assumptions, please. Oh, and don't call me "sweetie".

If this were a "hit and run attack" would I have responded, or even cared what your response was? Would I have tried to explain the original posting, which actually, if you read it, there is not much contrversial about. I simply wanted to remind all freedom loving people that there are folks who disagree with them, who don't deserve to be slandered. Free speech isn't any good unless everyone can use it.

I'm not sure what you wanted me to say, other than my last post that those are atrocities, indeed, and I would never condone them. Do you want me to go through each one.... "nothing was moral about...." give me a break. I'm not a moron, and I understand the point that there was indeed nothing moral about the atrocities commited by various regimes you listed. To pretend like I have to answer each one of your "questions" is just silly. I've made it clear that I totally find those actions and atrocities repugnant, as would any thinking person.

You want me to ask my Quaker friends why they still march with groups who are associated with bloody and deadly groups, perhaps I will. But I won't pretend to speak for them when I haven't discussed it with them yet. My point originally was just that my friends are good people, and yes, I was offended at the ranting on this board. Every group has it's nuts, and every side can find pictures that support their view of a "debate". People on this board (not necessarily you) have painted all anti-war folks as hatefule and anti-american, but when I look around at my fellow conservatives in this forum, most of what I'm seeing is hate toward other citizens. Citizens of America. If I were seeing informed debate, it would be wonderful, but there isn't much beyond hateful rhetoric and stereotyping here.

I don't know if I can bother with this forum anymore. You might point to that and claim this was a hit and run, but the truth is otherwise, and people who bother to read the whole thread will see the truth.

I understand why most true conservatives have left the halls of the Free Republic. I'm about to join them. I hope I find a place where discussion is more cerebral and less gonadal. I'm glad you have a forum for your type of 'discussion', but it's not what I was looking for. Good luck to you.
