Stop thanking the troops for me: No, they don’t “protect our freedoms!”

Why is pro sports constantly jamming military fervor down our throats? Their claims are wrong in more ways than one

I’ll end the suspense now: I’m not moving out of the country. I appreciate the advice, though.

3/3 Americans do not owe their freedom to the military. It’s been over a century since the freedom of Americans has been threatened.”

Wait until the troops are depleted to the point where they can’t protect those liberals’ freedoms. Then they’ll be so choked up with surprise and shock that they won’t be able to eat their words.

Of course, ultimately, it’s God that protects a nation’s freedom. If lefties like Doolittle are saying such things about the military, how much worse will their invective against the Author of true freedom be?

Thanks, warmongers! “Idealism” is now a meaningless concept

If hawks like George Bush, Paul Wolfowitz and Susan Rice are called “idealists,” what are Bradley Manning and MLK?

God bless all of our veterans...both passed and alive. I send this blessing on behalf of all Americans—both Marxist and not.

Why do we care about some petty little kid? He’s a brainwashed liberal, nothing more.

It is a father’s duty to beat such silliness out of a kid very early-on. I’m gonna take a wild swing and guess that Justin has two mommies?

I’m sure he believes that if only the United States weren’t so militant, everyone else in the world would love us and leave us alone...

His Twitter profile description: Freelance - Salon, Truthout, Common Dreams, CounterPunch, Antiwar, other outlets. Trying to make it on talent and hard work, just like Luke Russert did.

“How come all the frat guys who don’t have receding hairlines get all the chicks? It’s not fair”

I’m surprised he isn’t complaining about the law of gravity.

Check out his hairline. He’s so ugly, his hair is trying to get away from his face.

Tell him that Obama is thankful for his support and plans to dedicate the next drone strike to him.
