Orwell clearly had neither patience for such follies, nor any doubts of the need for democracies to be prepared to use force in their defense, pre-emptive or not. "Civilization," he said, ‘rests ultimately on coercion. What holds society together is not the policeman but the goodwill of common men, and yet that goodwill is powerless unless the policeman is there to back it up. . . . Since pacifists have more freedom of action in countries where traces of democracy survive, pacifism can act more effectively against democracy than for it.’"

That statement pretty much sums it up! I haven't even finished reading the thread and I had to comment on that!

Pacifists are truely parasits on democracy!

I'd humbly suggest one thing: To the sign saying "Must Americans Die for You to Learn?" I'd add "More."

"Must MORE Americans Die for You to Learn?"

Just my $ 0.02... ;-)

It's not that sweet mug they find intimidating. It is dogrobber's insistent use of logic, fact and reason. You go, guys.

The weather here in the St. Louis area today was dreary, but those signs glowed brightly with so much TRUTH that Columbia must have seemed sunny indeed! We must NEVER FORGET how precious our FReedom really is. Thank you FReeper Patriots for FReeping yet again today!! God bless you all and God bless our Armed Forces!

Good job MO FReepers. Way to stay in the peaceniks faces. I think you are right in that they will never understand logic, but keep annoying them.

Peaceniks take for granted that all Muslims want a dictator to rule their countries and lives. We have argued to no effect that America not only fights for our own freedom, but the freedom of others. It is immoral to condemn Iraqis (and others who wish freedom) to life under a mad man, by our inaction or fear of warfare. We argue that Saddam is the Hitler of our age. Maybe the Iraqi voices will convince the peacemongers!

. It took Free Republic to help give the Iraqi people a platform and a voice ...

It is a necessity that free people oppose those who destroy freedom. One cannot savor freedom in comfort while others stoop under the yoke of slavery. If not out of the obligation we owe to one another, then out of the personal interest that comes from insuring that the slave taker will not come for us.

"Sadam's a Killer, he must go."

"Sadam's a Facist, he must go."

"Death, Death, Death to Sadam."

Out of the mouths of those who know him best, his own people. Out of the mouths of those who know that his end will cost their own families and friends and are willing to stand that cost. Out of the mouths of those who have already suffered his oppression and murder. If only we would hear their cries for freedom. When CNN, FOX, and CBS have these people on their nightly fare, will we know the message is out.

Another beautifully written essay Bluesagewoman.
One thing that strikes me about your peaceniks in particular, is that they always seem to have signs and slogans that I just can't make sense of. All of them do, but some of the ones you face seem to be a little more obscure than others I have seen.
Maybe they are just too intellectual for me huh? If that is the case, I prefer to be stupid! :-)
Great job freepers in MO!

“Good morning, warmongers.” DogRobber responded with, “Good morning, peacenik idiot.”

I'm glad Dogrobber was there to respond. I would have used one of my intelligent comments like "I know you are but what am I?". lol
