All it was was a way of saying we are locked and loaded and ready for bear.
*sheesh*
Actually my "?" was about something else altogether. ;-P
I was leaving for Florida on Friday. I am trying to re-schedule and meet you there on Saturday.
I had planned to go to my husbands grave there at Arlington this afternoon...I may wait and go Saturday before my trip home to the hurricane battered Melbourne!
I hope you're able to reschedule. It'd be good to see you again.
Thanks for the pings!
According to their ghoulish protest, they claim to speak for dead American soldiers, and others.
Can they tell us what those who are buried at Arlington National Cemetary say as well?...
What do the approximately 30 Union soldiers buried in Gen. Lee's front yard have to say? How about the U.S.S. Maine victims?...the rows and rows of Civil War dead, both Union and Confederate?...What say the UNKNOWNS?...John F. Kennedy and his wife? What do the Columbia astronauts say? World Wars I and II soldiers and Marines buried there? Korean War dead?....Vietnam War?...Grenada?..First Gulf War?..Second Gulf War?...Afganistan?...Iraq?
Do they purport to speak on behalf of the U.S. Marine Corps Memorial?
And, finally, if they truly speak for the dead, what do 40 million aborted American children say?
No sweat, glad to do it. Freep those bastards extra for me, and for my friend Pudgeless, who is now back from Iraq and says his unit got mortared every day as a direct result of the Left's use of Abu Ghraib.He was at the prison and the shelling started as soon as the pictures hit the media.
The story was out there in January and was being addressed by the Pentagon, but the media had to inflame the situation. They knew what they were doing and what would happen. They didn't care.
They'll be hearing from us again on Saturday that they NEVER protested against Osama or Saddam--only against America.
Kerry supporters rejoice at the news of every American death, and they cry crocodile tears in front of the news cameras - but by their words and their deeds they are directly responsible for the deaths of American soldiers.
The Islamists are feeding off the words of Kerry, Kennedy, Lockhart, Rather, Matthews, Sharpton, and they are feeding off the demonstrations of the so-called "peace protesters."
These bastards are coming to Arlington National Cemetery on Saturday, to mock American values, to degrade American soldiers, and to desecrate the sacred ground where 200+ years of American heroes are buried.
If you are anywhere near DC on Saturday, please consider coming to defend the honor of our country's war dead and defend our country's honor against the anti-American blood dancers.
Pray for rain...nothing like the smell of wet cardboard.
Bears repeating: "anti-American blood dancers"
