That said, perhaps some readers will understand why my friends and I rip yellow ribbon "support the troops" magnets off of cars or wherever people have affixed them.

Please, please do that to my car in front of me.

"I look into the cars of people with "support the troops" ribbons as I speed past, trying to find some trace of recognition on their face, recognition of their guilt and the fact that they have given up. I usually see nothing; just a mouth moving robotically"

Sociopath!

"It must feel good to believe without question"

You'd know--I guess all the examination of the plight of the Afghan and Iraqi people, and how both countries were cauldrons of terrorism which would sweep into our nation if left to boil over must have gotten cut from your lil' school paper screech session. There isn't a hint of reflection or hesitation in your selfrighteous rant. But since you've seen so much of the world and have such enormous experience I guess you have the right to stomp on people's freedom of expression. After all, you're an angry young college kid, you know it all!

I'm glad these idiots are openly speaking this way.

This idiot doesn't even know the signifigance of the yellow ribbon. More proof that liberalism is all about feelings and nothing about logic or intelligence.

Don't blame all of us here--we get all the out of state students you guys get rid of. Unfortunately they sometimes stay.

What a POS.

Sometimes I wonder if jerks like this aren't actually jealous of the very brave and respected soldiers who serve our country.

Someone stole my magnets. I just figured somebody wanted them but I wonder if it was some anti American idiot.

I will never say, "support the troops." I don't believe in the validity of that statement. People say, "I don't support the war, I support the troops" as though you can actually separate the two. You cannot

I'll have to agree with him on that point. I never understood Democrats who said that.

THe good Thomas Naughton, needs to go through basic training, be issued a weapon and go down range for a stretch.

He might then have a clue as to the difference between supporting the troops vs. supporting the war.

Tommy-boy,

what you cowardly he-asses should do, at the very least, is cease damaging and stealing the private property of others.

I mean: if you have no respect for the private property of those with whom you disagree, you can hardly complain if those folks - grown tired of your antics - burn you out of house and home, now can you?

You remain free to speak the idiotic contents of your narrow little feeble mind, but DO cease your attempts to squelch the sociopolitical voices of others: It is rude and shall eventually lead to reprisals you are ill equipped to survive.

"No Yellow Ribbons Here"

Just a damn wide yellow stripe down a back of Marx Red.

My guess it's leftover feelings from the way soldiers were treated when they returned home from Vietnam. They don't mind being associated with the anti-war stuff, but do mind being associated with people who throw garbage at individuals.
