IMHO, kids and attitudes like that...particularly when fostered and abetted by their parents and teachers...lead to THIS.

It was with the hope of avoiding such that I wrote it. What these kids and their professors and parents don't realize is that our enemies, particulalry the radical Islamics, would love to particularly "slaughter" them, and do it on TV, because they are tyranically against such the freedom to display and act out such depravity, while here in America they are free to do it precisely because of people like that Staff Sgt put their life on the line for their rights...themselves risking death at the hands of the monsters so these kids can live in safety here at home.

Again, how pathetic and ignorantly ungrateful that mob is.

Why do I even bother defending this country?

against all enemies, foreign and domestic ....

Looks like we've identified some of the "domestic" enemies.

"while here in America they are free to do it precisely because of people like that Staff Sgt put their life on the line for their rights...themselves risking death at the hands of the monsters so these kids can live in safety here at home."

I know, it is very disheartening to see a display like this. I grew up in the late 60's early 70's, in Boston of all places. I saw things of this nature time and time again. I was accepted to two ivy league schools, but turned them down for Boston College, which, at that time, had a "zero tolerance" policy for campus unrest. Now even BC has slipped into the abyss.

Best regards,
Tim

I am so disgusted that any learning institution would allow such thuggery, but not surprised.

My protest warrior leader monitors leftie web sites and found out they were trying to block recruiters at our local high schools, and planned to put flyers all over the students cars in the school parking lot. I called the principal of the high school in my daughter's school district and told him what was being planned. He was incensed and assured me that anyone caught near the students' cars would be arrested. He also said that he would not alter the forms about recruiting in any way, and that recruiters are WELCOME. But I urge people to check in with your local public learning institutions, especially at the high school level. The America-hating, military-hating left are trying to subvert recruiting at every level. Don't let the traitors do this in your town.

Hard to say. Logic would make me think that the new sheriff would at least make an attempt to be a hard nose like Reichert, female or not, but logic has no place in King County

I was just thinking the same thing! Please, if anyone knows how we can send some words of encouragement to Sgt. Due, please post it here, and ping me, please. I feel so bad for this brave man, who has to listen to the taunts and vile name calling of these jackals.

I called the President's office and spoke with the receptionist. I must have been her first call... they are not prepared for what is going to happen if a lot of us call.

I really hope some other people keep the pressure on them.

I want an apology from the students to the Army and sensitivity training for the students.

That's an interesting point. Unfortunately, whenever fascists get into power, innocent people tend to have their basic rights (life, liberty, pursuit of happiness) revoked; the same when communists get into power; they share that unhappy legacy (Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro--fascist or communist, they were all maniacal monsters).

I prefer the term patriot. It is more uniquely American, don't you think?

I want an apology to the Army-and some sensitivity training for those students

Every one of those young men and women who serve - to their credit - walked into the recruiter's office BY THEIR OWN CHOICE. Nobody forced them. Those protesters need to look at the fine people who defend this country, and do so proudly. Those same fine men and women afford them the luxury of protesting.

These protesters disgust me. They are not deserving of the freedoms they enjoy. They are so quick to whine and complain in their dissatisfaction with our President and our country - and they, in a sense, spit on those who make sure they have the right to voice that dissatisfaction.

Thanks. With the time difference between east coast and left coast, I should be able to get a few cranky calls placed.

Several hundred students walked out of classes at several Seattle colleges and universities to protest the inauguration of President Bush.

Note to self when teaching...next time a planned walkout is to occur, ensure a 50% final grade pop quiz is immediately administered, with a "no make up work" clause inserted in the syllabus.

My American Heritage dictionary doesn't say it's a dictatorship of the extreme right, but then again I have an old one, copyright 1982. I guess it was written before the PC police changed the definition. <;)

The rabble of today are NOT disciplined, precisely because a leader of the carisma of Hitler has not arisen. It may be that a leader like Adolph cannot arise in today's US because e are not in the dire and hopeless straits Germany was in at the time he gained power.
