Well said. And how are freepers helping to turn this problem around? We're not. Because most of them are in a state of denial. So we're not being activists like we usually are.
"how are freepers helping to turn this problem around?"
1) freeping with terrific support the troops posters
2) calling in to tv and radio shows with facts and opinions
3) educating and informing others of what is at stake
4) contributing to packages & letters for the troops
I know you are worried and frustrated that support for the war is in a slump and especially that the troops see and hear and fear that means that they are not supported. I think it does tremendous good for them to hear GWB tell them that we won't cut and run on his watch. I hope they heard Cheney's words that he & GWB can't do anything about politicians who "lose their backbone" and I trust the American people too. It was just a year ago that we re-elected this administration! It seems like much longer.....probably because our good news about the war is snatched from us so quickly and replaced by negative stories.
I saw a book review on c-spann with a marine captain author....his book is about his time in Iraq, it's called "One Bullet Away". He had some thought provoking ideas....I'm ordering it. As these guys & gals come back and write and speak out, we will learn more....especially since most of the media are too afraid to report from the dangerous areas over there.
We are not because we are so busy screaming at our own side and acting as the echo chamber for the DNC's spin lies. Still looking for the Ollie North link. Remeber where about you posted it?
