Sure they have the right to protest.
Did anyone protest "the war" a week after Pearl Harbor? I didn't think so.
So when it comes time that they get their draft notices next year, will you support their "right" to "protest" by running to Canada?
Or will you ultimately agree that "freedom is not free"?
Or do you believe that parasites and leeches should enjoy freedom protected only by the blood of fellow countrymen, but never their own?
To: Vox66 Travis McGee
.....let's not criticize people when they actually exercise those freedoms. Why the hell not, pray tell? If it's okay for them to run down our country, our flag, the President, our way of life, giving aid and comfort to our enemies in doing so - why isn't it okay for patriotic Americans to exrcise our right to free speech and criticize them? Reminds me of an old Merle Haggard song:
Fightin' Side of Me
I hear people talking bad about
the way they have to live here in this country.
Harpin' on the wars we fight,
gripin' 'bout the way things ought to be.
Now I don't mind them switchin' sides
and standin' up for things that they believe in,
But when they're runnin' down our country man,
They're walkin' on The Fightin' Fide Of Me.
Chorus
They're walkin' on The Fightin' Side Of Me.
Runnin' down a way of life our fightin' men
have fought and died to keep.
If you don't love it, leave it,
Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin',
When you're runnin' down our country man -
You're walkin' on The Fightin' Side Of Me.
Verse 2 I read about some squirrely guy
Who claims that he just don't believe in fightin',
And I wonder just how long
the rest of us can count on bein' free.
They love our milk and honey
but they preach about some other way of livin',
When they're runnin' down our country man
They're walkin' on The Fightin' Side Of Me.

Triage is correct, Vox66. You are wrong. You are enabling these traitors and they are assisting the Taliban. These assholes are giving aid and comfort to the enemy. What the hell are you doing at this forum, anyway?

I think you had better read the profile of the poster you just lectured. Then I am sure your sanctimonious "died for" bull sh&t will stop.

Losers. Screw them and forgiveness.
To: Vox66
If you want to throw people in jail merely for exercising their Constitutional rights, you spit on the Constitution itself. There is a bright constitutional line drawn when "free speech" crosses over to aid and comfort of the enemy. We lost track of that principle during the Viet Nam war and it cost several thousand US soldier's lives. I hope to hell we do not do it again.
To: ppaul , 68-69 Tonkin Yatch Gulf Club, ALOHA RONNIE,Nam Vet,
Thank God for Lee Tuimanu'a and what he said and for serving this nation and helping to keep me free.<>p> Man I hate this so much , anti-war protestors. It feels like the 60's starting all over again and I am not a happy camper about this one bit.
NOT ONE PROTESTOR GAVE ME MY FREEDOM BACK THEN NOR NOW !!!! It was paid for with a very high price of those who have served this nation in every war.
I say Welcome Home Vets and a big (((((( HUG ))))) and thank you. These protestors can go to hell and let Jane Fonda drive them there.
