From another thread about desecrating the nations Capitol...
"Excuse me while I chuckle at all of the outrage on this thread. NONE OF YOU WERE THERE WITH US YESTERDAY WHEN THESE LEFTIES MARCHED ON THE CAPITOL. Why should the Capitol Police put their necks on the line when so few people bother to show up in support of America. There were tens of thousands of lefties against forty of us--including wounded warriors who left their hospital beds to support their country yet again. WHERE WERE YOU?"
And now frowns more on this thread because folks did not show up to counter a leftist rally. Call me what you want.
I know Kristinn has done more organizing than anyone else. Kudos for this. But don't use the fact that soldiers were spit on, to inflict guilt in people for not attending. I respect any man in uniform, but the soldiers should not have been there. Has the Vietnam days taught us NOTHING!!?? Do you think that this is going to make the morning papers??
All this did was piss a few people off, humiliated a few others, and created happiness among the left. Why the hell do you folks give the enemy bullets, and then piss and moan when you get shot at?
I admire the people (I'm one of them) who get out there and do something, and yes, anyone within driving distance who could have attended should have been there. Inflicting guilt is perfectly appropriate.
Are you Olympia Snowe or Chuck Hagel?
Your homepage says you're gone, so ..... ? You're still posting....?
I respect our wounded troops and I believe they are mature adults who can make their own choices as to what they do or do not do. I saw a photo of Joshua Sparling at the event, relaxed and smiling. It did not look like anyone had forced him to be there.
Personally, it has been way too long since I was part of a troop rally and I plan to remedy that this year, although I do support them other ways, mainly with mail.
Would you like to share your troop support with the rest of us?
an encounter involving Joshua Sparling, 25, who was on crutches...
I am stunned! Who are YOU to tell our troops where they can go? UnFReepingBelievable!
Has the Vietnam days taught us NOTHING!!??
Yes, they taught SOME of us something. Those days taught us that the troops need to stand up for themselves, because no one else will.
They taught SOME of us we can no longer sit back and laugh at the idiots in the street or shake our heads in disgust.
SOME of us learned being the "silent majority" is synonymous with being the stupid majority.
SOME of us learned if not confronted the commies will win and send our country into a downhill spiral of darkness. We cannot afford another 35 years of communist legislation and tyrannical rulings from a court.
It taught me that I should have stuck up for those vets back then. They got a raw deal they did not earn nor deserve. And if I have anything to do with it, history won't repeat itself no matter how hard the hippie freaks try.
