Please remove me from this ping list. I only get frustrated when I read these silly threads. What a hollow victory. Look at what losers these Code Pinkos are! And DC FReepers think it's such a huge victory and such great fun to go out and aggravate them (and thereby feed their twisted, martyr-complex-ego needs in the process.)

Sure, supporting the troops is important, but don't conservatives believe in taking the high road anymore?

I think conservatives should expend their energies engaging in reasoned discourse in the marketplace of ideas, not engaging in a bazaar of 60's-style street theatre of the absurd and militant tactics . . . against big, fat, old, irrelevant losers. Conservatives should stand for ideas, values and principles, (like the annual March for Life,) not against this or that puny, insignificant group of radicals. Why? Because, over time, developing an addiction to such fringe behavior, and being negatively motivated (embarrass the other; make them look bad; shout them down; intimidate them; stay on the street corner 10 minutes longer than they do, Friday night after Friday night, etc.) warps the individual.

You're only affirming them by reacting to them, and feeding their need to be noticed. In the process, you may become like them.

FRegards,

You are entitled to your own opinion.

I have one ping list that covers all topics.

I'll remove you from my overall ping list.

Get a grip. I went down the street, by myself, so as not to give the PinkOs a reason to start a ruckus.

One question for you: Do you ever wonder how many IEDs can be bought and built (in Iraq) with $650,000 (US)?

Probably not a puny or insignificant amount. I have met guys at WRAMC who were recipients of Code Pink's "insignificant" contribution to the Iraqi insurgency.

I, for one, am getting sick and tired of people like you who have the nerve to sit behind their computers and criticize people who are actually doing something. We are there to support the troops, who have by the way come out just about every Friday night and thanked us for being there. Just this Friday night several gentlemen stopped there cars and got out and shook our hands and thanked us for supporting them. Last week, a young man and his wife stopped on their way to stay at a hotel for the weekend. The young man couldn't speak well because he'd had throat surgery after being in Iraq. His wife spoke for him. She told us he wanted to thank us for coming out and supporting him. He had tears running down his face. We have young men, come out in their wheelchairs to stand by us.

Now maybe it doesn't matter to you if all these young men were to see would be the Pinkos protesting them, just like when our young men and women came back from Vietnam. To me, whose son served in Iraq, it matters.

Aggravating the Pinkos is just an added bonus.

It's know skin off my nose if you don't want to read our "silly" threads. Leave the real work to the adults.

Please remove me too from the overall pings You are in charge of. I can now find my way around well enough to read and comment on things of my choosing. And the automatic pings bring in a few items I don't wish to be part of my list of reads. Code Pink mostly is one I don't want to keep track of. Thank you.

[Sisku Hanne]

The only people whose opinions I care about are our men & women at WR. The rest of your post reads like a load of bubblegum pop psych.

[Doctor Raoul]

You have no clue, it's obvious from your post.

I only get frustrated when I read these silly threads. What a hollow victory.

Actually, it's not. Why do you see only the hard core moonbats now and hardly any young people? Because the opposition made them think...and not come back.

You never know when you plant a seed in a liberal's mind if they begin to realize how goofy and/or Marxist leaning their leaders are, but you can see the results plainly in reduced numbers. And conservatives passing by are encouraged to battle liberals in their own way. And wishy washy middle of the roaders sometimes make their choice right there.

Furthermore, the troops do notice and it lets them know that America loves them. Yesterday we were at the Davis Monthan Air Force Base where moonbats go every Monday (and are counter protested!) and just had flags and support signs. It was not much really, but the troops loved it because they get so little public accolades. These men and women deserve all the support and counter-protesting we can give them.

Furthermore, the Pro Life protesters have been standing in public with signs and handing out leaflets ever since Roe vs. Wade. Years later, they are getting close to winning. What if they had just given up? How much more would the population have been reduced over the years?

It would be great if we could all stand around in the library drinking tea and discussing weighty matters with the most logical argument winning but the world doesn't work that way.

Sure, this type of protesting may be too frustrating for you. It's not for everybody. And I appreciate every reasoned letter to the editor or government official you write, and every other step you take to resist liberals and bring sanity back to America. But as you leave the ping list, please don't denigrate what you don't understand.

That is the most ill thought out post I have seen in a long time. You are, of course, entitled to your own opinion but what you are suggesting is to ignore Code Pink slamming our soldiers.

That didn't work so well for our Viet Nam vets, now did it?

NEVER AGAIN!

"I think conservatives should expend their energies engaging in reasoned discourse in the marketplace of ideas, not engaging in a bazaar of 60's-style street theatre of the absurd and militant tactics . . . against big, fat, old, irrelevant losers."

I suppose you are part of the so called "elite",
hardcore GOP members, on Free Republic,
who actually believe that hanoi kerry is entitled to remain in the US Senate and that there is nothing wrong with this.

For those who "forgot" what Hanoi Kerry
did in the past read on and learn the truth.

Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen

http://ice.he.net/~freepnet/kerry/index.php?topic=Documents

hanoi kerry went before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations in 1971
to accuse the United States military
of committing massive numbers of war crimes in Vietnam.

hanoi kerry 1971 TESTIMONY

http://www.c-span.org/vote2004/jkerrytestimony.asp

Why is Kerry still in the US Senate?
This is in violation of
U.S. Constitution Amendment 14 Sec 3 (1868)

Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress,
or elector of President and Vice President,
or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States,
or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath,
as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States,
or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer
of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States,
shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same,

or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

warps the individual

I was already WARPED before I started standing on the East side of Gerogia Ave and I definitely became enraged and indignant at the sight of faux sympathy from a bunch of Marxists who give money to terrorists, expose the wounded and their families to the sight of flag-draped coffins, call our brave soldiers killers, and then pretend to care about their well-being.
Instead of commenting on what you perceive is a waste of time, how about donating some of that time and energy to getting some goodies together and sending a box to the wounded.
You could spend the same amount of time writing a Thank You note to include in the box of goodies.
That way, you could stay off this thread, not be bothered with having to respond to our comments about our VICTORY in removing the oinkos from the Main Gate of an Army Medical Center, and everyone will be happy.

Conservatives should stand for ideas, values and principles...

We stand for our wounded troops and their families who arrive to see their wounded family member and had to pass a gauntlet of ghouls. Sometimes, through the windows of the very ambulances who bring the wounded to be healed, those morons were visible.

No.

We are there to say, "Welcome home, heroes; you are appreciated, honored and loved. We are grateful. Thank you from our hearts."

Love is the world's ultimate conservative idea, value and principle.

"Sure, supporting the troops is important, but don't conservatives believe in taking the high road anymore?"

That sounds like something I would write.

But I would not apply it to this case. If people who oppose the war choose to protest together with people carrying anti-American and/or pro-terrorist signs it should be documented and the good people who honestly 9but foolishly) believe we should leave Iraq suddenly need to distance themselves or they correctly belong together in the same picture.

As a contrast, consider Kristinn removing the obnoxious sign wielder from among the Freeper in Texas or what the moderators would do here if White Supremacists started signing up at free Republic.

Even President Bartlett on The West Wing criticized the environmental lobby for not distancing themselves from terrorism.

So I think you are off base here even though I agree with your basic sentiment.
