7. Come on

Marines with their stupid tribal codes of "honour" and barbarous bloodlust is about the dumbest shit I can imagine, but they are humans too, even if remotely. Most of all, wishing ill for others is not good for your own mental health - been there, done that.

Before Tuesday I felt a light at the end of this dark tunnel. The warmongering Amerikan taliban has snuffed it out.

JFK should have never wasted his breath with these morons. They WANT to go and die for *. Let them

[FredZarguna]

DUers are close cousins of the Islamic Extremists.

Right-o. Check this out: Unholy Alliance : Radical Islam and the American Left by David Horowitz. Like all of DH's stuff, it's excellent.

Effem!

DU's love darkness and hate the light; For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light. John 3:19, 20

[Mr. Keys]

This will be seared...seared into my memory for any personal encounters with this kind of scum.

[RandallFlagg]

I am SO glad we have infiltrators posting their treachery here for all to see.

This is history. A great reminder that the enemy isn't always in another country.

[timpad]

You know, I was going to post the message on my profile page over there, in an attempt to make a change. Last evening, I would have taken you up on your offer.

Now, I realize that none of my fellow Americans are left in that sunken ship, and tapping on the hull is a waste of time. I commend them to their fate.

[FredZarguna]

See #21. There is a continuous thread between American Leftists now supporting radical Islamists, the 60's radicals, and the Reds, "Progressives" and fellow travelers from the 1930's going forward. The nexus of hatred is America. The goal is its destruction. The plan is to fool stupid people into thinking they share our values.

They would rather see our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines dead than support them. The troops they support once belonged to the Soviet Union and its proxies, now they belong to Mohamed.

[Shortstop7]

Unbelieveable how stupid those people are in that cesspit.

You can't get any more evil than this...

[JusticeTalion]

God bless our troops wherever they may be.

[Arrowhead1952]

I wish these id-ji-ots would realize they wouldn't be able to talk like this, if it weren't for the military. Screw DU.

[holden]

I still keep "loathing" as a belief or an opinion, which should never be punished in our society. Wanting our troops dead is beyond that. It's traitorous if not seditious.

[Nova Reservist]

This is beyond belief, really. I can understand their sadness at losing the election, but to take glee that Americans Marines are wounded is unbelievable.

I have not been this incensed since 9-11. And for some other idiots to claim losing the election is worse than 9-11 is unconscionable. Please send this link to every Marine you know.

The thoughts and prayers of all REAL Americans go the troops and their loved ones.

[Cogadh na Sith]

Disgusting....

but not surprising.

Please don't anyone say anything like this within earshot of me--it'll get ugly.

[spinestein]

Whenever someone tells me that this war in Afghanistan to remove the Taliban or the war in Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein is wrong I always ask them what they think of the war in Kosovo to remove Slobodon Melosevic. I get two answers.
1)That war was OK because it was justified.
2)That war was also wrong.

The hypocrisy of the first answer is obvious to all except the one giving this explanation.
The second answer is also hypocritical but only indirectly. (not an improvement) I always ask the follow-up question: Where were you and your Pacifism As A Policy friends during the war in Kosovo? I didn't see anyone protesting Bill Clinton's refusal to go along with the UN policies. I didn't see anyone claim that our allies were irrelevant or bought off. I also didn't hear anyone say that the war was wrong because of the thousands of innocent civilians killed or the failure to find the tens of thousands of bodies in mass graves or anyone claiming that Clinton had an ulterior motive in conducting the war.

Personally, I accept at face value that it is desirable for the United States to take an active part in removing brutal dictators from power, regardless of what party our commander in chief belongs to. I just wish the Michael Moore followers would remember that the worldwide availability of freedom should not be a partisan issue.

[Long Cut]

This shouldn't surprise a soul. Cowards, slackers, and those with worthless lives will almost ALWAYS feel this way towards their betters.

The fact that those Marines posessed honor, courage, and commitment far beyond any that those on DU will ever even aspire to, and that they were, above all, AMERICANS and MEN to boot, drives the girly-men to craziness. The only way they can salvage a shred of masculinity is to denigrate true heroes. It's a version of "Dog In The Manger".

It might, however, be of some use to forward this to your favorite Serviceman or vet, to show them what ALMOST got control of the country.

[Mfkmmof4]

I used to read these forums right after the 2000 election and gave up as I got really depressed. I do think if welfare was ever repealed I think these people would be lost since they thinking having jobs is for everyone other then them.

[go-dubya-04]

The difference between libs(DU) and conservatives (FR) is perfectly highlighted in their reaction to this news versus the compassion and prayers sent forth by Freepers when Mrs Edwards was diagnosed with breast cancer. It made me proud that our humanity is so much greater than our politics. Same cannot be said for these reptiles.

[normy]

I am ready for an old fashioned rumble. No weapons, skin on skin, Outsider style to settle this.
