Your post 209: Very easily said by someone who never had to use a boat to reach freedom and has never had to live under the threat of death from a a brutal dictator.

I'm an American veteran, no need to use a boat to find freedom, I fought for American freedom, like many other American's who did the same.

I suggest the millions of others that want freedom to do the same, instead of fleeing tyranny and jumping on a boat, or waiting for American's to spill their blood to make your country right. Stand and fight, and make your own countries right.

I know it's not the easy way out, but it's the right thing to do.

"I suggest the millions of others that want freedom to do the same, instead of fleeing tyranny and jumping on a boat."

When you're right, you're right Joe.

Americans took on the British Army rather than running away, stood their ground and fought them on the beaches, they fought them on the landing grounds, they fought them in the fields and in the streets, they fought them in the hills; they never surrendered, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, they thought they couldn't defend their Island...

Crap, they had left that Island and fled here on boats...hadn't they?

Never mind...
