Anti-war grandmas gain records, but lose no money

Grannies with way too much time on their hands.

[Graybeard58]

Ping.

[Lurker]

They need a good old fashioned hippy beat down.

[SJSAMPLE]

Yep.
Normally, the thought of violence on a “person of age” makes me ill.

However, the thought of a boot stomping this granny makes me kind of tingly. She’s actively aiding the enemy. I hope the boot has spikes.

"It's hard to know what to do next," said Wilson, whose four grandchildren called Tuesday morning to say they are proud of her. "There's always tax resistance."

Good luck with that. I bet you don't walk away from that.

"It's hard to know what to do next," said Wilson, whose four grandchildren called Tuesday morning to say they are proud of her. "There's always tax resistance."

Please, God, let here try this one. Tax protestors almost always end up in the middle of a burning building.

They need a good old fashioned hippy beat down.

I saw these wackos on CNN this morning and I thought that they all looked like hippies that never outgrew it. They were yelling that we had to get out of Iraq because we were murdering civilians. The civilian death toll is going to look like it did after we left Vietnam if we leave now. Anyone who had anything to do with the US is going to get slaughtered by Al Queda and Syria and Iran will come in and fight over the scraps.

>>>”This is not about serving your country,” 68-year-old Hattie Nestel said when asked if she respects those who enlist. “This is serving the war machine.” <<<

Tell that to the Iraqi people, you hag!!

A worthwhile cause. However, do you all believe your liberal friends in Congress will tolerate that protest?

Try this ...

The amazing thing is that no group is more anti-war than the military. Only they truly know the consequences of war. They have experienced the horror first hand, they have lost friends and comrades and their lives are on the line.

Our military doesn't start wars, they stand in harms way brave, resolute and honorable. They also understand there can be no peace without strength and that on occasion our enemies will test that strength. These are our sons and daughters instilled with American values and American blood. Every one a hero.

Funny how these grannies want to stop that Eeeeeeeeeeevil "War Machine" from accepting volunteers. If they weren't so damned hypocritical, they should be:

1) Visiting each and every resident within the U.S. to convince all adults that serving our Country offends them personally, and

2) Visiting each and every Islamic Imam that has declared war on us and our way of life and attacked US to show them that "Peace is the only way."

But of course, I know I'm asking too much of pacifist-dhimmis...

[Stepan12]

Tell that to the Iraqi people, you hag!!

It's not as if the Raging Grannies are strangers to activism. When they were much younger they protested for the Rosenbergs' freedom. I only read about that in National Review.

[MCCRon58]

Actually, “Granny’s” like this are probably the greatest argument AGAINST the 19th amendment.

[JohnnyZ]

There’s an 80-year-old granny at my church who can and would kick all their asses.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Are these the same chicks who were burning their bras in 1969?

[swmobuffalo]

Well, I see age doesn’t always bring wisdom. And I’m wondering just how they thought they were going to get the recruiter to just “quit”.

[toomuchcoffee]

Well dang! Wish I lived near there. My daughter was a navy recruiter for a few years. I’d love to go cookie to cookie with those hags.

[CheyennePress]

We’re not killing civilians. That would be the Islamist nutcases. These third-rate protestors don’t take the time to make that distinction.

And yes, you’re right. If the terrorists put down their guns, the fighting would end today. If the Coalition puts down its guns, the fighting has only begun.

These myopic dimwits haven’t figured that out, yet.

[goodwithagun]

The islamofascists would not allow these women to be out in public, let alone collect Social Security or use Medicare. Since these hags don’t like what our country is doing, they should move somewhere else. Oh, wait a minute. They would not get SS or Medicare somewhere else.
