Its the one toy collectible precisely cause it enrages the Left. G.I Joe Lives!
One of my favorite toys was a Dick Tracy machine gun. I haven't killed anyone, yet.
What a bunch of misguided idiots. I didn't know that toys could teach.
And as far as eliminating those who think differently, I believe Islam fits that bill quite nicely. Do I hear the 'Commies' for Peace Action criticizing Islam? (chirp....chirp....chirp)
G.I. Joe is driving a 300ZX and slides up to Barbie's house. Barbie looks at wussie Ken on the balcony with his little sweater tied around his shoulder and jumps in the car with G.I. Joe and they ride off together.
Used to LMAO every time I saw it.
Veterans for Peace organization claims its mission is "to restrain our government from intervening, overtly and covertly, in the internal affairs of other nations" and "to abolish war as an instrument of national policy."
I'm buying one today!
I suppose this is a mean spirited question, but are there any real veterans in this group?
Reply I received from the Twins regarding an email I sent them:
Dear *****,
On behalf of the entire Minnesota Twins organization, thank you for your
email supporting our Armed Forces Appreciation Night and corresponding G.I.
Joe action figure giveaway! We've been overwhelmed with positive notes
about our planned tribute to the real G.I. Joes and G.I. Janes who are
willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to protect and defend this country.
The Twins are proud of the young men and women of the Armed Services and our
giveaway will go ahead as planned. Below is the tribute that appears on the
G.I. Joe package:
"Minnesota Twins Armed Services Appreciation Day - Monday, July 5, 2004
This G.I. Joe action figure is a tribute to the brave men and women serving
the United States in the U.S. Armed Services. Thousands of Minnesotans are
supporting our nation as active or reserve members of the Army, Navy, Air
Force, Marines and National Guard. Many are civilian soldiers with families
and careers who may be deployed on a moment's notice to trouble spots around
the globe. Members of the National Guard are also available, at the
direction of the Governor, to serve Minnesotans during natural disasters and
other emergencies.
The Minnesota Twins salute these courageous men and women, past and present,
who put their lives on the line to defend our country and assist us in times
of need."
Your comments and support are greatly appreciated.
Warm regards,
Patrick Klinger
Vice-President, Marketing

"On its homepage, the national Veterans for Peace organization claims its mission is "to restrain our government from intervening, overtly and covertly, in the internal affairs of other nations" and "to abolish war as an instrument of national policy.""
Sorry boys, but war will always be an instrument of national policy.
Clearly it should only be used as a last resort, but it should ALWAYS be ready for use. It should also be kept razor sharp. There's nothing worse than using a dull razor as you wind up cutting yourself with it in ways you most certainly did not intend...."
This illustrates how the left picks their battles. They fight against a plastic toy, but they refuse to fight dictatorships or terrorists.
Of course, fulfilling this mission would require the end of all foriegn aid of any type to any country. I wonder if this is really what they want?
But it's okay for kids to learn about fisting and condoms in school.Most of the lefties that tell you how to raise kids don't have any of their own.If they do,they are some of the most poorly behaved children you'll ever run across.
My parents couldn't afford to buy the five of us plastic guns that wouldn't last out the summer, but necessity is the mother of invention. I give you the best all around weapon system in the field of toys ...
...the baseball bat. When used on top of your shoulder, it's a bazooka, ideal for knocking out Nazi tanks. When used at the shoulder, it's an M-1/Winchester rifle, great for picking off Nazis or Japanese troops or marauding Indians. When used below the shoulder, it was a tommy gun, the perfect weapon for gangsters and clearing out houses of defending enemy troops. Finally, when balanced on a rock or some other support, it's a 50-caliber machinegun, tailor-made for "street-sweeping" charging enemy troops.
And it was darned hard to break or lose when running through the woods like wild Indians during the summertime.
