The GOE stained sacred ground? You gotta be @#$&in me right..!!??
Nor did the organizers fulfill their vaunted mission, which, according to the group's Web site, is "to stand silent guard" over the memorials, in a manner that is "non-violent and non-confrontational."
Given this puke's anal onsession, he full of it.
His side vandalized a number of things just six weeks prior and then spit and threatened a wounded soldier. And then they called for their side to meet at The Wall.
Sorry Girlie Man Editor, but we're not going to let that happen and we'll be back.
Seventeen years later, I have yet to see evidence to the contrary in the current conflict overseas. Kerns you stupid bastard, go to YouTube and watch that "peace marcher" tell an ampute from Walter Reed that he was goimng to get a gun an shoot him.
May Kerns’ bathtub overflow with a spring bounty of brown trout...
"...I have no problem with flag-waving, chest-pounding, bird-flipping passion, but as the letter and story made evident, many were spoiling for a fight..."
You obviously DO have a problem with it, you pussy. And yeah, they WERE spoiling for a fight.
"...The flames were sparked and stoked by an Internet campaign that shamelessly played on reverence for our nation's memorials...."
Oh, you mean "reverence" like THIS you liberal TURD?:
"...It is sacrilege to politicize the nation's monuments, to belligerently claim ownership of that which belongs to all Americans. And while there may be a nut or two at any protest, the authorities are well equipped to deal with them. ..."
Yeah. Like the picture above states, sure you hypocritical ass. And the people who spray painted the steps of the capitol building were watched by well equipped authorities who did nothing.
"...This nation's been at war far too long, and far too long at war with itself. The counter demonstration of March 17 was bitter fruit the politics of division...."
The politics of division?????? From the side of our country that routinely implies the blood of our troops has been shed so Bush and Cheney could line their pockets profiteering from the war???? THAT kind of "Politics of Division" you sanctimonious sack of shit? Or perhaps THIS kind of "politics of division"????
BURNING the flag, DEFECATING on the flag? The FLAG I served under, my father served under and was buried under in Arlington? THAT "politics of division"?
"...I'm left to wonder as to March 17, had I marched with others opposed to the war. What would have been my welcome, had I left those ranks and approached The Wall, just beyond the wall of anger surrounding it?..."
Your welcome would likely not have been the one you richly deserve.
"...It was the signature lesson of the Vietnam War, embraced by Americans across the wide political divide in testament to the sacrifice embodied by those 58,249 names on polished black granite: Never again would the warrior be blamed for the war...."
Oh, this is too rich. You, who side with the people who emasculated our military in Vietnam, who sided with the people who prolonged the war, who openly engaged in treason, who sold the South Vietnamese up the river, whose hands are covered in the blood of the untold numbers who were butchered, imprisioned and repressed because YOU and people like YOU accepted no responsibility for your actions in abandoning them! And YOU have the unmitigated GALL to mention in breathless tones the 58,249 who died there? YOUR PRESENCE AT THE WALL WOULD HAVE BEEN AN OBSCENITY AND A DESECRATION! How DARE you?
"...We must indeed stake out and defend those few remaining DMZs upon America's charred political landscape, where countrymen all can unite around shared ideals, shared history, shared sacrifice...."
I got news for you, bucko. There was NOBODY on the side of the vets who has anything in common with you. There is no "shared ideals". You presume a lot If you think a single person on the other side would share any ideal with a moronic, self-centered jerk like you. Ther is no "shared history". You and your liberal bretheren have written your own blood stained history, going all the way back to your support of Communism in the early Twentieth Century, and extending all the way to Code Pink collecting money for terrorists in Iraq. That is your history.
And you do not know a thing about sacrifice, so stuff your pie-hole with a dirty jockstrap and do the rest of us a favor by not displaying your stupidity and arrogance so openly.
This guy should go pick lettuce and stop staining the Internet.
Sounds to me like the man is trying to rationalize decades of inner guilt.
As long as your hands were empty and you were respectful, not a thing would have happened except for maybe a few Vets welcoming you and helping you locate that young man's name on the wall, YOU EFFING LIBERAL MORON!!!!!!!!!!
Lady J...Great catch on this...Great Post..
Nothing could be further from the truth. This Dip$hit writer evidently missed the signs and flags held by the “peace activists” advocating communism and anarchy !

Al Qaeda Relying on ‘Peace’ Movements
By Center for Security Policy
CenterForSecurityPolicy.org | April 20, 2004
Borrowing a page from North Vietnamese General Vo Nguyen Giap, Osama bin Laden is making the US and European “peace” movement an instrument of his strategy.
The al Qaeda leader’s most recent tape, aired on Al Jazeera April 15, “appeared to mark a new strategy of trying to manipulate antiwar sentiment in Europe to bring pressure on governments that support the United States,” according to the Washington Post.
Spanish voters’ election of an anti-American socialist in the days following the March train bombings in Madrid encouraged al Qaeda. In his tape, the Post reports, “Bin Laden refers to demonstrations in Europe as ‘positive interaction’ and mentions ‘opinion polls, which indicate that most European peoples want peace.’”
Bin Laden is openly trying to exploit politicial divisions in Europe and the US in the way that General Giap counted on the American “peace” movement to weaken the American people’s resolve even though they were winning the war. Former North Vietnamese General Staff officer Bui Tin once said that the “peace” movement was “essential to our strategy.”
The open support of Hanoi by Jane Fonda, former Attorney General Ramsey Clark (now head of International ANSWER, which coordinates the largest protests) and others “gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses,” Bui Tin said. “Through dissent and protest,” the US “lost the ability to mobilize a will to win.”
Bill Clinton stained that now? And I thought the White House sink was bad.
I didn’t know metaphors could rally, let alone riot.
” We must indeed stake out and defend those few remaining DMZs upon America’s charred political landscape, where countrymen all can unite around shared ideals, shared history, shared sacrifice. “
First, Mr.Kerns has no understanding of what a “DMZ”
really is since he speaks of it as a townhall meeting or a village green, that is certainly not any DMZ I ever saw.
Second, if it is such shared space, why would he want to stake it out and “defend” it, and from whom?
Baaaah, liberals, it would almost be worth it to watch the
jihadists exterminate them.
