I love it. Another way to drive liberals crazy.

Heh, I saw one of those the other day.

I want to get it for my sister's kid. Aforementioned sister is a bleeding heart public skool teacher who freaks out of the word gun is mentioned.

A thousand, hell a hundred years ago people gloried in the exploits of the soldier, now they go to pieces over plastic ones.

[The Hon. Galahad Threepwood]

The Easter warriors are embedded with the legions of more traditional - Winnie-the-Pooh and Barbie-themed baskets - that line the shelves of local Wal-Marts and Kmarts.

I fail to see why Winnie-the-Pooh and Barbie are considered "more traditional" than toy soldiers.

I am continually amazed by the falsities that journalists just toss off as if they were the most obvious things in the world.

Onward Christian soldiers!!

"I think it's very deplorable to try to sanitize the ugly face of war," said Hal French, professor emeritus of religious studies at University of South Carolina.

Yep, Hal FRENCH was looking for the surrender basket.

I hate those plastic gun Easter baskets, too. They never come with enough ammo.

[templar]

I love it too. Anyone know where i can get a bunch of little, egg sized, toy grenades to dye?

[DWPittelli]

Gun toys for Easter? Why not! As far as I'm concerned, a real gun might be a timely Easter gift for a child's first season of rabbits. Would the Prince of Peace approve? Maybe not. But consider Matthew 10:34

"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."

Hal, take your pc thoughts and stuff them. GI Joe and Peter Cottentail will probably get along great. In fact, GI Joe is probably protecting Peter Cottentail right now.

"I think it's very deplorable to try to sanitize the ugly face of war," said Hal French, professor emeritus of religious studies at University of South Carolina. And to essentially associate it with Easter, something that speaks about life and resurrection .‘.‘. it's a tragic association."

I consider it shocking that a so-called professor of religion did not refer to the scripture where Jesus heals the soldier's servant because his belief was so strong, a Roman no less! Warriors are a part of the world and thus part of His plan.
