"We "gave peace a chance" in Vietnam, and three million people died."

Profound commentary!!! Part of the reason, I feel, is that these so-called "Americans" can no longer tell the difference between Pol Pot and smoking Pot!!!

The photo of the moon in the background, the candle, and the rose--such romantic imagery! The circle of the moon is reinforced with the circular peace sign. The candle and the rose are symbols of life! All this touchy feely tug at the heartstrings stuff is stomped into the mud with the words across her breast: "I blame the Joooos!"

Now that rose becomes the symbol of the Socialist International, the candle is the symbol of witchcraft, candle magick, and the invocation of the Goddess Hecate (the Greek lunar goddess of the crossroads). Hecate is also called the Halloween Goddess and is the witch of the underworld and all that is demonic. She is a goddess of three forms: Luna (in the heavens), Diana (on earth), and Hecate (of the underworld--hell). She is the goddess of lies. We need to be prayerful that the evil that this image represents does not cast its power over the hearts of those who want true freedom.

What am I seeing? Has the man next to Sheehan pee'd his pants?

Brother have you noticied how many Viet Nam Vets have been "driven away" from FR since the 2004 election ended?

Yes. Zero.

I haven't seen a single veteran "driven away" from FR. Anyone who leaves here does so by choice (and IMHO a very poor choice).

Just look on FR today, vs just before the Nov 2004 election.

Then you'll notice how many Viet Nam vets are no longer here.

I catch a lot of flack because I refuse to be quiet about Hanoi Kerry.

It's the "Move On" FReepers that I really irate. LOL

Then you'll notice how many Viet Nam vets are no longer here.

Which means nothing. Nobody drove them away. They pulled chocks and departed of their own free will. If they left because some people have differing opinions, then I'd say those veterans are pretty weak.

I might also add that more than a few were likely here because of how receptive FR was to the Swift Boat Veterans (and rightly so).
