Hey all!
First, I need to confess something. I was so angry after the confrontation last week. I was upset that we would yell at the parents of soldiers.
I gave this couple the courtesy to believe they were genuine. They might have sons serving, but they are using that fact to the advantage of their own agenda.
Prior to finding out there real agenda, I considered stop Freeping because I was so disgusted with how this couple were treated. I now understand I am the naive one, and they deserved the tongue-lashing they received.
Here is what happened from my perspective:
I saw a new couple talking on the SE corner. Since I am happy to welcome newcomers, I went over to meet them.
They were talking with a couple freepers, whom I don remember.
They made comments that were the standard moonbat talking points. Haliburton, bad water, blood for oil...and initially, they were exchanging conversation at a normal level. Then, things got heightened. Instead of conversing, it escalated to a shouting match.
Now, for the normal moonbat, I heartily welcome the verbal volleys at them, to shut them up. But, thinking these two were genuine concerned parents of soldiers, I felt it was out of line to be shouting.
Then, as the shouting began, not more than a minute later, the police officers showed up on cue, as the moonbat couple moved down toward the Pinkos. This raised my suspicions. As they moved down the street, I began calling them liars.
After the confrontation, after the police left, the "parents" crossed the street, and returned to our corner.
When they came back, they remained calm, and asked why we didn't believe them. I tried to speak reasonably with them. While we were speaking, his "son" called "from Iraq". The "man" offered to let anyone speak to his "son". Everyone refused, except, I love our soldiers, and figured if this were a geniune soldier, in a tent in Iraq, maybe I could offer a word of support to counter the negative filth that his "father" was feeding him. (I did this despite the suspicions of more experienced Freepers...like, why was his call timed perfectly to be where we were, even though it was 0530 in Iraq...why wasn't there a delay in the conversation? I had legitamite answers, including direct experience with international phone routing.)
So I spoke with the caller. I thanked him for his service, asked about his job, and acouple other questions that normally, only a soldier would know but I won't mention here so as to not give any pinko insight into our queries to identify liars. He made comments about being concerned by the lack of support here in the USA. I told him that he needs to not worry about what he hears on the news, because the news feeds are not showing the genuine support the majority of Americans have for our troops.
He mentioned having bad water, and I told him how it has always been part of the Army to have screw-ups happen, and to not get discouraged by it.
We spoke further about Army life whe I was in, and how it is now. But, I didn't want to make him waste his time with me when he could be talking to his "father". So, I gave him my email, spoken in phonetics, figuring if he were a fake, he might not understand what I was saying. He said he got it. I handed the phone back to his "father".
While I was on the phone, the bus came in, so I missed the bus.
Later, I saw the couple meeting a soldier from WR. He did not know them, but recognized the picture of his "son". They went and talked and I figured they should have time together, so I went home. This was when I felt they were legit, else I would have been up in his face, exposing him for the fake he is.
The way I found out this couple were fake is that I read their bragging on a post on a pinko sight.
Strangely, in their gloating of how badly they suffered at the hands of Freepers, they neglected to mention the nice treatment I gave them...hmm, I wonder why?
Not really. I KNOW why. Being treated with courtesy doesn't get them attaboys from their pinkos buddies.
From now on, I hereby declare that any such "parent" of a "soldier" who is actually a pinko shall be named "Borat".
"Borat" is a movie that is currently playing in theaters. It is made by a Jewish man named Sasha Cohen. It stars himself, as a guy from Khazakstan, named Borat. The movie shows his coming to America and taking advantage of the compassion and kindness of Americans to his own goals and designs.
Am I upset by being boratted? Not much. More so, I am disgusted that these people are so blinded by their bigotry that they do not see their own pre-concieved notions were wrong. I feel sorry for their children...not just this couple, but for every child of members of their misguided organization.
I feel sorry because I now get the feeling these "parents" are HOPING THEIR CHILDREN DIE SO THAT THEY CAN BE THE NEXT CINDY SHEEHAG!
They don't wear the fact their children are fighting for freedom as a badge of honor. They look forward to the day their child's death elevates them to a higher status. They view confrontations such as Friday as merit badges, but they really look forward to their promotion.
THAT MAKES ME SICK! THESE PEOPLE ARE SICK AND DEMENTED!
I need to stop now because the more I type, the angrier I get. Not for being decieved, but because these people are so ego-centric that they will sacrifice their own children for personal gain.
I need to point out, I was NOT talking about the Gold Star parents. They are incredibly honorable. They were not praying for their children to die for personal gain. I know the Gold Star parents would much rather have their children than the status that losing a child in a war gives them. I also know the Gold Star parents are proud of their children.
Wow, it is such a fine discrepancy between the Gold Star parents and the fakers I ranted on.
If my rant offended a Gold Star parent, please forginve me for allowing my emotions to limit my ability to express fully what I meant. Please know my rant is toward fakers, not Gold Star parents.
What did they say?
They acted like they were very much fradulant, so don't be too upset. If you were to script a dialogue for a phony to use, it would have been their words verbatium.
Sick Puppies. It's not surprising, these are the people who engage in grave robbing when they use the goodwill felt towrds the fallen in their boots/crosses/readind type protests.
