Hollywierd always has contempt for soldiers. They really belive people join the service because they couldn't get a job elsewhere, as though acting is a skill only for a PhD.
At Least Law & Order's Fred Thompson is still on board with the War.
Incredible. What a horrific slam on our troops!
My son was smart enough to know not to believe anything a leftist says at the age of 18 when he got his deployment orders. And he's smart enough to know it now that it's been 3 years since he went to Iraq.
This is disgusting, mystery. What a blatant attack on your husband and son, and my son. Disgusting!
How low can these bottom dwellers sink, anyway?
That's right, Belzer. This is the first war in our history where our soldiers have been fired upon. The British didn't do that in the Revolutionary War, or the Germans or Japanese in WWII. Just this one.
Idiot.
Something I couldn't resist transcribing from last night's Boston Legal. Alan Shore is defending a woman for evading $400.00 in federal income taxes.
Alan Shore:
“When that ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction’ thing turned out not to be true, I expected the American people to rise up. Hah. They didn’t.” Then, when the Abu Ghrab torture thing surfaced and it was revealed that our government participated in ‘rendition,’ a practice where we kidnap people and turn them over to regimes who specialize in torture…I was sure, then, the American people would be heard from. We stood mute. Then came the news that we jailed thousands of so-called ‘terrorist suspects,’ locked them up without the right to a trial or even the right to confront their accusers. Certainly we would never stand for that. We did.”
“And now it’s been discovered that the Executive Branch has been conducting massive, illegal, domestic surveillance on its own citizens. You and me. And I at least consoled myself that finally, finally the American people will have had enough.”
“Evidently we haven’t.”
“In fact, if the people of this country have spoken, the message is: We’re okay with it all.”
“Torture, warrantless search and seizures, illegal wiretapping, prison without a fair trial--or any trial, war on false pretenses…We as a citizenry are apparently not offended. There are no demonstrations on college campuses. In fact, there‘s no clear indication that young people even seem to notice. Well. Melissa Hughs noticed. Now, you might think instead of withholding her taxes she could have protested the old fashioned way: Made a placard and demonstrated at a presidential or vice-presidential appearance but we’ve lost the right to that as well. The Secret Service can now declare ‘free speech zones’ to contain, control and, in effect, criminalize protest.”
“Stop for a second and try to fathom that. At a presidential rally, parade or appearance, if you have on a supportive t-shirt, you can be there. If you’re wearing or carrying something in protest, you can be removed.”
“This in the United States of America. This in the United States of America. This in the United States of America.”
“Is Melissa Hughs the only one embarrassed?”
Aside to judge: “Long speeches make me so tired. Actually, I’m sick and tired. And what I’m most sick and tired of is how ever time somebody disagrees with how the government is running things, he or she is labeled ‘Unamerican.’
Interrupted by the DA: “Evidently it’s speech time.”
“And speech in this country is free, you hack. Free for me, free for you, free for Melissa Hughs to stand up to her government and say, “stick it.’”
Interrupted by the DA: “Objection.”
“I object to government abusing its power to squash the Constitutional freedoms of its citizenry. And God forbid anybody challenge it, they’re smeared as being a heretic.”
“Melissa Hughs is an American. Melissa Hughs is an American. Melissa Hughs is an American.”
“Last night I went to bed with a book. Not as much fun as a 29-year old but the book contained a speech by Adelai Stevenson, the year was 1952. He said,
‘The tragedy of our day is the climate of fear in which we live. And fear breeds repression. Too often sinister threats to the Bill of Rights, to freedom of the mind are concealed under the patriotic cloak of anti-Communism.’
“Today it’s the cloak of anti-terrorism. Stevenson also remarked, “It’s far easier to fight for principles than to live up to them.” I know we are all afraid. But the Bill of Rights… we have to live up to that. We simply must.”
And many Freepers still watch the liberal spew from the 'Law and Order' shows
I watch ony to see Marika's Hagitty's sweater puppies
"...they don't read twenty newspapers a day.""
Dear Richard,
Are there that many different comic strips in the print media?
Love,
Opus
Stop!
This is making us look like idiots!
Screw this idiot. Not one more word about him.
No, Richard. They're smart enough to know that of the 20 newspapers they might read, 19 of them are saying the same thing, and ALL OF THEM ARE LYING ABOUT IRAQ!!!!
There. Now I feel better. :)
Seems as though many of them don't know when to shut up.
LOL!
First off I was not speaking of Belzer allthough he is also a boob
"Beneath contempt". Perfect way to express what I feel....
He and Hillary have the same name.......
After 35 years in the military, I hate to say I've seen this kind of treatment before of our brave military....I was hoping I'd never see it again, but alas, I'm once again wrong.....
That explains a lot. He's seems to be projecting his own education, job and military experience on every person who joins the service; which makes his patronizing remark almost laughable. He actually thinks reading twenty newspapers a day makes one smart? How does reading the same left-leaning "reporting" over and over again accomplish any sort of scholarly pursuit?
And what does it tell one when even leftist-crazed Bill Maher disagrees with such drivel?
Why is it that libbies insist on characterizing our soldiers as "children". It sounds as if we have sent a herd of babies over there to fight a war. My 15 year old son has more knowledge and moral fortitude than any hollwood fool whose only means of support is to mouth other people's words and playact all day, omg.
