Understood. Our parents, our brothers and sisters, and (for the youngest Freepers) our grandparents - were all busy with their jobs and raising families, and they didn't take to the streets to counter-protest the leftists who were marching and rioting during Vietnam. We can't let that mistake happen again.
Every time the leftists march, protest, have a "die-in" at a recruiting center - in Washington, DC, New York City or Podunk, Iowa - we have to counter them. The media will fall all over themselves to lovingly cover their protests; and they will be forced to cover our counter-protests. If we are there. And then other regular folks like us will see that somebody else is fighting against the lies of the leftists; and some of them will join us. Some of them will also fight back with letters in their newspapers, and to their elected representatives.
If we are not there, then we run the very real risk of losing the battle in Iraq, against the radical Islamists, and against the radical leftists in our midst in the USA.
Fighting back, and counter-protesting the leftists, and writing letters to local papers takes a lot of work. But the internet is our friend (thank you, AlGore), and we can find the proof we need to convince the "regular working folk" that these groups are, in fact, enemies of our government, our soldiers, and us, and that they don't mourn American deaths - they rejoice in them.
The lies that the media and the far left will place before the American people will be many and will depict us as losing and killing only civilians who just want to live a life of their own. (Which was a lie then and is a much bigger lie now)
Like I said, it takes work to prove their lies; but the internet is a great resource. And Free Republic is a great resource, too; with lots of folks here already doing the research work for us, and finding links to the traitorous statements and deeds of the "anti-war" leaders.
We can win this. We have to.
