I just heard on NPR that the organizers of the protests against Mr. Bush's war in Washington and around the country expect 100 buses from New York alone. Guilty confession: My immediate thought was, "Yeah, that'll convince the Bush administration to free up more federal aid to rebuild New York."
Actually, more power to the protesters. I didn't go down to the protest, because I'm not much for joining big groups and I think this White House is particularly tone-deaf to criticism from people that would never vote for Bush, ever. But I hold out the faint hope that maybe 100,000 people marching on the White House might do something positive. It will be interesting to see the estimate of the number of protesters from the cops, organizers, media, et al.
For those who can't make it to D.C., an anti-war solidarity rally has been reported to be set for 1 p.m. today at Union Square. For more news, check out www.dc.indymedia.com.
On March 6, 2003 when I went on the Internet the first thing that I saw on the homepage was a link that said, “Students Protest The War.” This act angered me.
These rich spoiled kids have no earthly idea what it is like to work for anything that they have. So, they will never know what it is like to work as a low paid computer assembler in NW Houston along side of war refugees who hate America. These rich kids will never know how it feels to see these refugees rejoice because the Towers came tumbling, because as the refugees remarked, “America needs to also feel pain.” They will never know how it feels for the daughter of a Korean Veteran http://www.angelfire.com/tx4/liberatedspirit/grandfather.htm to complain, only to be reprimanded by the supervisor. I was told that they have their rights, I guess to come here and hate on America. Don’t forget these refugees where brought here to be housed, fed, clothed, and educated by our government who listened to the U.N..
As I investigated further on why these students were protesting, I found this link on their website. http://www.yclusa.org/organize/bnb.html#public My question why are they calling themselves Young Communist League? Is being communist behind all this protesting? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/861911/posts http://www.whittierdailynews.com/Stories/0,1413,207~12026~1234836,00.html
This is really something to think about. The War Protestors are either with the True Patriotic Americans or they are with the Terrorists. Which is it?
Trying To Help
By Dennis Miller
All the rhetoric on whether or not we should go to war against Iraq has got my insane little brain spinning like a roulette wheel. I enjoy reading opinions from both sides, but I have detected a hint of confusion from some of you.
As I was reading the paper recently, I was reminded of the best advice someone ever gave me. He told me about the KISS method (“Keep it Simple, Stupid”). So, with this as a theme, I’d like to apply this theory for those who don’t quite get it. My hope is that we can simplify things a bit and recognize a few important facts.
Here are 10 things to consider when voicing an opinion on this important issue:
1) President Bush and Saddam Hussein…..Hussein is the bad guy.
2) If you have faith in the United Nations to do the right thing, keep this in mind. They have Libya heading the Committee on Human Rights and Iraq heading the Global Disarmament Committee. Do your own math here.
3) If you use Google Search and type in “French Military Victories,” your reply will be “Did you mean French Military Defeats?”
4) If your only anti-war slogan is “No war for oil,” sue your school district for allowing you to slip through the cracks and robbing you of the education you deserve.
5) Saddam and Bin Laden will not seek United Nations approval before they try to kill us.
6) Despite what some seem to believe, Martin Sheen is NOT the President. He plays one on T.V.
7) Even if you are anti-war, you are still an “Infidel” and Bin Laden wants you dead, too.
8) If you believe in a “vast right-wing conspiracy,” but you do not believe in the danger that Hussein poses, quit hanging out with the Dell computer dude.
9) We are not trying to liberate them.
10) Whether you are for military action, or against it, our young men and women overseas are fighting for us to defend our right to speak out. We all need to support them without reservation.
I hope this helps.
This is outstanding. This lady tells it like it is.
A short time ago, the Shelby County Alabama Legislative Delegation hosted a
“Stand Up for America Rally.” More than 1,200 people attended, including
featured speakers Chief Justice Roy Moore, Adjutant General Mark Bowen and
Alabama State Auditor Beth Chapman.
Attached is a copy of Mrs. Chapman’s speech, which resulted in five standing
ovations, tremendous applause and an encore. It’s a short read and well
worth it.
I hope you enjoy it as we continue to “Stand up for America!”
Stand Up for America Rally Speech By: Beth Chapman
I’m here tonight because men and women of the United States military have
given their lives for my freedom. I am not here tonight because Sheryl
Crowe, Rosie O’Donnell, Martin Sheen, George Clooney, Jane Fonda or Phil
Donahue, sacrificed their lives for me.
If my memory serves me correctly, it was not movie stars or musicians, but
the United States Military who fought on the shores of Iwo Jima, the jungles
of Vietnam, and the beaches of Normandy. Tonight, I say we should support
the President of the United States and the U.S. Military and tell the
liberal, tree-hugging, Birkenstock-wearing, hippy, tie-dyed liberals to go
make their movies and music and whine somewhere else.
After all, if they lived in Iraq, they wouldn’t be allowed the freedom of
speech they’re being given here today. Ironically, they would be put to
death at the hands of Sadam Husssein or Osama Bin Laden. I want to know how
the very people who are against war because of the loss of life, can
possibly be the same people who are for abortion?
They are the same people who are for animal rights but against the rights of
the unborn. The movie stars say they want to go to Iraq and serve as “human
shields” for the Iraqis. I say let them buy a one-way ticket and go.
No one likes war. I hate war! But the one thing I hate more is the fact that
this country has been forced into war-innocent people have lost their lives
husband, or even worse my own son.
On December 7, 1941, there are no records of movie stars treading the
blazing waters of Pearl Harbor.
On September 11, 2001; there are no photos of movie stars standing as “human
shields” against the debris and falling bodies descending from the World
Trade Center. There were only policemen and firemen - -underpaid civil
servants who gave their all with nothing expected in return.
When the USS Cole was bombed, there were no movie stars guarding the ship -
If America’s movie stars want to be human shields, let them shield the
gang-ridden streets of Los Angeles, or New York City, let them shield the
lives of the children of North Birmingham whose mothers lay them down to
sleep on the floor each night to shelter them from stray bullets.
If they want to be human shields, I say let them shield the men and women of
honesty and integrity that epitomize courage and embody the spirit of
freedom by wearing the proud uniforms of the United States Military. Those
are the people who have earned and deserve shielding!
Throughout the course of history, this country has remained free, not
because of movie stars and liberal activists, but because of brave men and
women who hated war too. However, they lay down their lives so that we all
may live in freedom. After all - “What greater love hath no man, that he lay
down his life for his friend,” or in this case a country.
We should give our military honor and acknowledgement and not let their
lives be in vain. If you want to see true human shields, walk through
Arlington Cemetery. There lie human shields, heroes, and the BRAVE Americans
who didn’t get on television and talk about being a human shield - they were
human shields.
I thank God tonight for freedom - - those who bought and paid for it with
their lives in the past - - those who will protect it in the present and
defend it in the future.
America has remained silent too long! God-fearing people have remained
silent too long!
We must lift our voices united in a humble prayer to God for guidance and
the strength and courage to sustain us throughout whatever the future may
hold.
After the tragic events of Sept. 11th, my then eleven -year-old son said
terrorism is a war between them and us and if you’re not one of us, then
you’re one of them.
So in closing tonight, let us be of one accord, let us stand proud, and let
us be the human shields of prayer, encouragement and support for the
President, our troops and their families and our country.
May God bless America, the land of the free, the home of the brave and the
greatest country on the face of this earth
GOD BLESS AMERICA

I Am Proud to be An American
By Elaine Brady
Using the title of Lee Greenwood’s song, Proud to Be an American, I am taken in with so vivid an emotion that all I have are tears to express my heart and words seem to elude my voice. Woven in the intricacy of my tears are deep feelings of awe and pride, privilege and candor, and an emotionally compelling sense of satisfaction and deep respect that overtakes my soul. These feelings seem to have opened in a fervent cavern of impassioned feeling of my pride in being an American. This impassioned feeling is my right and my privilege to express my views and ideas freely. Thus, I write regarding my feelings for this country, the flag, the war and my respect for a president I love as being my president.
Living in this country I am afforded a wealth of opportunity that is available no where else on this earth and in no other country. I deeply respect the fact that my freedom came at a high cost. Freedom is never free. I will always know that my freedom came at the expense of my forefathers sacrificing their lives to give me this precious gift of freedom. I must always remember that my freedom is a gift to me to love and cherish. My freedom is not a gratuity that is mine because I did anything to deserve it. My great grandfather, grandfather, dad, brothers, uncles, cousins, etc. fought to give me the privileges that I have today. I must not ever take them for granted. I must respect all they have done for all I have at my disposal to use in this country.
I am proud to be an American, living in a country that allows me the license to express my feelings openly. This country allows me the independence to be me and to walk with my head held high because I am a citizen of one of the most miraculous places on earth to live. I am a woman and as such, in many parts of the world, looked on as a second place or lower citizen. I am part of a nation that approves of many different and diverse ways of thinking. I am part of a nation who believes in giving me a freedom to choose to better my life. Is there any other country in the world that can and will give to its citizens what this country gives to its inhabitants, both naturalized and born entities? No there is not!!! Look around you at the world abroad and what you see is not the freedom to do much.
I think there is not another country in this world that gives to its citizens what this country does. Democracy is not present everywhere. Look at China, its human rights violations and what happened at Tienemen Square. Look at how women are treated in the Arab and Palestinian countries. What about countries like North Korea and how many human rights violations there are? How about Iraq and its dictator and the regime it has that treats its inhabitants horribly? Would protesting the war in any of those other countries be allowed as freely as it is here in America? It is emphatically not allowed in any of the countries that hold a dictator and don’t allow freedom of expression or anything else for that matter.
Because of the lives of many before me, I can protest if I choose (that is unless what I am choosing to protect what is not politically correct, such as the prolife movement, being a born again Christian, believing in morals and values set by a God I love with all of my heart, etc.) and have my views heard. We are entitled to the privilege to protest because the foundation was laid for this to happen years ago when this New World began to take shape as our founding forefathers decided to start a new way of thinking. We are allowed to air our views publicly and on talk shows, totally demeaning the human spirit with out a thought of retribution. We expect that our right to freedom of speech entitles us to forget that being politically correct or incorrect means that my right and freedom of free speech is robbed from me because I choose to think differently than what is being dictated to me to think.
With the new way of thinking given to me from those that forged ahead with conquering a New World, came the subduing and conquering of many that lived here as we landed in the New World. The bloodshed that commenced to give me the right to say whatever it is that I think is stained with the blood of many in the wars that have gone on before today. It is not that war is a pleasurable experience. It is not. It is more that in order to have what we have today, it is necessary to use war to pave the road to make sure that we continue to live in a country that is free. To have the peace that we so desire, sometimes war is the only alternative to gain that peace. It is more what comes after the war that is important to help heal the wounds and help make sure peace is paramount to the way of life.
Freedom comes at a high cost. Would you ask any of those who went before us to not go to war and be without the freedom and peace we have in this wonderful country we live in today? Although I am allowed to express views that are contrary to what the leaders of this country feel are necessary ways of handling situations, I need to hold my tongue on occasion and reflect back to why I am allowed this privilege. I need to support a president who has access to more and better information about what is happening in this world than I have access to in day-to-day living. Would this president really sacrifice the lives of our military on a whim? No, emphatically no, he would not do that. Would he choose war over peace if there were an alternative to net the people of the world the freedom of weapons of mass destruction and total annihilation of our way of life? No, he would not do that. And these same people who are protesting the war, would be the first to berate and ostracize this president if he did nothing and another tragedy like 9-11 happened to take out lives and monuments. Have we really forgotten how we felt that morning when we watched planes pirated by suicide hijackers fly into buildings?
I have not forgotten that feeling I had as I watched the 2nd plane fly in the world trade center south tower. I have not forgotten what it felt like that morning when I heard that the plane had flown into the Pentagon. I will never forget the courage of Flight 93 that day that downed the plane to keep it from flying and hurting any more people. I remember the pride I felt in all the people that gave up those lives in those planes that day. I also remember the feeling of void and feeling of empty at knowing that war had been declared on us from terrorists that hate us for our way of life. It is these same terrorists and that frame of mind that our makes our President decide to take out a dictator and regime that would help terrorists again do the same exact thing and take away our freedom, our sense of security and our way of life.
Today…the world is in a state of unrest. The threat of war is looming near. The homefront is uneasy. The troops are being sent abroad. We are in the midst of chaos. As I sit, I reflect on my role in all of this. I ponder on what all of this means. Then I stop to think of September 11, 2001, and my perspective begins to open wide my heart and the nucleus of my feeling. How much more disrespectful can a people be than to protest a war that will ultimately free a world of a tyrant while our troops sit day after day, away from loved ones to defend this freedom we cherish so much? Peace is important but respecting our president is equally important as is respecting his authority. Peace comes at a price as does our freedom comes at a price. Neither peace nor freedom is free. It comes with the dedication of many lives in our military.
Instead of undermining what our president and his counsel is engaging in the prospect of war and freeing the world of weapons of mass destruction, I need to think about that fact that if he is not doing what he is doing what is the alternative. If the United States had stayed out of World War II, and allowed Hitler to go on, how many more Jews would have been annihilated? How many more people would have died? How much worse would the world be if someone had not gone to war to protect the lives of people? Would a whole race of people been exterminated if we had not made the choice to protect their lives? Would it have been better to have stayed out of the war and allowed the travesties of the Holocaust to continue? No it would not.
I love my country. I love what this country means. I love being a citizen in the greatest country in the world. I am so sad and distraught that because we have freedom in the country and the liberty to think anything we want to think, that we abuse that right by choosing to not hold our tongues when strategically it would be advantageous to do just that. How much more disrespectful can we be than to try to undermine a president who loves this country more than life itself. Every soldier, every troop, every military person already in place for war or getting ready to go to war from here, deserves our respect of his or her sacrifice. Each solider enlisted to protect this country and all we have here at the homeland. Each soldier, each troop member is there to fight for our country. Each soldier is behind our president 100%. Why is it necessary for those who have never fought in a war or ever defended our country to malign the efforts of the courageous men and women of our country.
When I see our flag waving in the dawn’s early light, I know that it represents something that is worth more than the angry protests of people. These people would rather push his or her philosophy on others than to pay respect to a president who has the best interest of this country in his heart. When I hear our national anthem play, the tears flow down my face because of the emotion I feel from the pride I have knowing that I am a citizen of the greatest country on this earth. I am proud to be an American. It hurts me so much to know that so many others feel a need to belittle our president and choose to demean his worth because he or she does not agree. Hollywood alone, shouts with a liberal penchant that tells a world of its protest without realizing that Hollywood would not exist if it was not for the fact that someone a long time ago had fought for the right for that profession to exist.
It is okay to not agree. It is okay to have an opinion. It is okay to believe in a diverse and diametrically different position that our leaders have. It is not okay to not respect the presidency and the leaders of this country. For each protestor that is out there voicing an opinion, there is a solider, a troop member, a brother, a dad, a uncle, a cousin, a military person that is putting his or her life on the life to ensure that I have the right to protest. Out of respect for our military, it might behoove us here at home to hold our tongues and let those who are fighting for our freedom, our country and our safety know that we love them and be thankful we have a military that can protect us.
If the terrorists had their way, the right to protest would be taken from us. If the terrorists had their way, our way of life would be taken from us. If the terrorists had their way, we would have one religion, one way of believing, one way of thinking and we would no longer have the luxury of living our lives freely. Our right to think freely would be torn from our lives. Our way of freely living would be stolen from our existence. We discovered that war was declared on this country and its citizens, one quiet, balmy day on September 11, 2001, when suicide terrorists planned and executed the attack upon thousands of unsuspecting people. We watched Osama Bin Laden joyfully talk of how the damage was more than he could have even dreamed of happening. That day the tragedy of the World Trade Center towers toppled, the pentagon was severely wounded and a plane of courageous men and women was landed in a desolate area of Pennsylvania. The world was horrified at the unprecedented volatile example of war. War was declared on the United States that day and we are simply answering the call that was screamed at us when we were attacked. We are also letting Saddam Hussein know that we have waited 12 years for him to disarm, and diplomacy has never worked with him in any way shape or form. Do we really want to wait more to allow him to make sure that the terrorists take out a country he does not hesitate to hate or talk about hating and calling us the evil empire.
The protestors forget that day the World Trade Center Towers were attacked as they protest against the war that was started that balmy day in September. The lives that were lost on that day were lost to less than peaceful measures. They were lost to the jubilation of the architects of those terrorist attacks that stole our feeling of safety and security and brought about rejoicing that the attack netted more for them than they had imagined could have happened. Would the protestors like another attack to happen?
As the glitz of Hollywood once again bears its liberal head, we are once again criticized for not being liberal. What a travesty was accomplished when the Dixie Chicks decided to disrespect our president. I am sure Hollywood stood there and gave a standing ovation. Hollywood and its liberal values are what create a country that has no values at all or at least the values it purports are ones that cultivate a society that has no respect for human life, has no respect for authority and has no respect for the human condition. Instead, we are ostracized if we do not agree with the liberal leaders of Hollywood. What person in Hollywood would be willing to give up his or her lives for anyone else? There is not one that would come out and say, “I will sacrifice my life to save someone else.” Rarely do we hear of a Hollywood that goes out of its way to give back to its country what our military does. Our military does not do for the money, but for the pride in this country. I am appalled in the voice of Hollywood and am ashamed that they are part of the reason that so many countries in the world don’t like us and abhor our values. The values that are on television and on the big screen are ones that have no respect for life at all. The movie Pay It Forward was one of those rare Hollywood films that actually had unselfish giving in it and had morals that would have been welcomed in any part of the world.
When I hear about movie actors, the musicians, the liberal democrats, the Tom Daschles, the Al Gore’s, the Susan Sarandons, the Martin Sheens and the rest shout that President Bush is not doing his job, I just tune them out because they are not worth the time that it takes to listen to them. When I hear Tom Daschele say that President Bush failed on the diplomatic front, I find that I lose faith in anything he has to say. How much more time is everyone expecting to give to Saddam Hussein to disarm? It seems to me that 12 years is long enough. It also appears to me that our strategy to war and our weapons are so sophisticated that there is going to be very few civilians even hurt with all of this. Yes, I am sure there will be life lost, but in the end there would be more life lost if we don’t pursue war and end the tyranny of a dictator that does not value human life.
Sheryl Crowe, Rosie O’Donnell, Martin Sheen, Sean Penn, Ron Kovic, Susan Sarandon, Rob Reiner, Danny Glover, Ossie Davis, Christine Lahti, Tyne Daly, James Cromwel, Tim Robbins, Jessica Lange, Mike Farrell, Ethan Hawke George Clooney, Jane Fonda or Phil Donahue are nothing compared to the military that has pride in this country and is out there fighting every day to make sure that we still have a country to live in today. Has the world that is protesting not figured out yet that diplomacy with Saddam Hussein is not realistic simply because he does not work with diplomacy. He instead works with an Osama Bin Laden to help terrorists take out Americans all over the world. Dixie Chick, Natalie Maines after her verbal slap at George W. Bush at a concert in England showed a world that voicing an opinion might be okay but it is suicide to a career when it is unnecessary. She actually said what most of the liberal people of this country would want said but had enough class for the most part, excluding Hollywood and Musicians, had the decency to not say it at all. Not one of these people who are so mouthy and disrespectful, have real information to back up what they are saying. Are they instead saying our President is a liar? I know he is not. He is an honorable man, with honorable values and honorable beliefs. He is a good leader and one that would have rather had diplomacy work but realized that it was never going to work for Saddam Hussein would never disarm or he would have already done that.
This same Hollywood, politicians, musicians and people who protest a war, are those same people who believe in a holocaust of unborn children. They believe that abortion is a peaceful means to allowing a woman a right to choose. A woman has a right to choose to murder an innocent life. As Mother Theresa said, “But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself.
And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion?
As always, we must persuade her with love and we remind ourselves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts.” Mother Theresa further said, “It is a poverty to decide that an unborn child must die so that you may live as you like.” And Hollywood, the musicians, the liberal politicians are condoning a war against innocent children yet screaming about the war in Iraq. How ironic I think it is to realize that the double standard they all live by is one that I never intend to live with in my life.
I for one, knowing I am a minority, will support my president proudly. I will cultivate the feelings of pride I have for this country. I don’t mind being in a minority for being who and what I am because I know in the end right will prevail. I will trust that my president would never put lives in danger and start to fight a war that was a necessary measure to make sure this country is safe. He would not go to war if he did not have the information he needed to do what he has to do to preserve my freedom here at home and to make sure I am safe and secure living here. I know that he would never jeopardize lives without knowing that it is necessary to make sure that peace ultimately is what the world will have.
As I said in the beginning, I am proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free. I know that I live in a land that is precious and that my leaders have my vote of confidence in their actions. I may not understand all that is happening, but I do have confidence in his wisdom and knowledge. Because I have the right to protest, does not mean I need to act out on that right. Maybe a little restraint in this country might be something that would help to make us a stronger nation. I know that I will always be proud to be an American, won’t you?
Hello. I was listening to the news tonight and heard a protestor say, that our president is handling this war like a father handles a child it is abusing. He equated this war to the harm of child abuse. I was appalled by his comments and I sat here and cried for an hour.
I am proud of my president and am honored to be a part of the country who has the God fearing president we have. I am proud to be an American. I can be an American because so many before me, my dad, my brother, my uncle, my cousin, my daughter, my son-in-law, etc have all gone at one time or another to protect and fight for this wonderful country of ours.
I know for sure that our president would never put in harms way any of our troops if he did not have credible information to warrant doing this. I also know that after 12 years of trying diplomacy, and the fact that Saddam Hussein is so defiant and arrogant with his power and such a terrible man, that diplomacy is not going to work. It is not ever going to work or it would have work a long time ago.
the mentality of men who are like Saddam are truly holding the mentality of those who abuse children because he is a violent man who would not hesitate to use children as human shields or destroy families or use force to terrorize men. I heard today about one of his torturous ways of handling any one that does not agree with him by putting the person in a vat of acid so it eats the skin away and kills the person slowly and with a lot of pain.
How is it that peace protestors think it is okay to endorse his methods of torture by protesting a war that will eliminate that. There is no way that Saddam is approachable or that he ever feels bad for all he did.
And I know for sure that he would be more than happy to annihilate this country and harm innocent people. Are we supposed to sit around with our hands beneath are lap and not do a thing to insure our world is safe for others. Yes peace is always the ultimate goal, but in order to insure peace in this instance the war was the only alternative.
I am appalled at the lack of patriotism that our protestors, Hollywood, muscians have. They have no regard for life. IF they are so peace and wanting peace, then why were they protesting keeping people for being law abiding and using violence? There is not one of them that is an example of peace. I am ashamed to know that I share a country with such infidels.
When we were attacked on September 11, 2001, there was no warning. War was declared. We lost 1,000’s of lives that day. We had no way of knowing that the terrorists were living amongst us. The peace protestors that stopped all traffic today and hurt people and were arrested are really no different than the terrorist mentality. They try to hold hostage the president, the troops and all that goes with it by their beliefs.
They are entitled to their opinions, but why is it that I have to experience their disdain and their terrorism of my beliefs.
Our troops and our president need our respect, our support and our love. They need our positive thoughts and our prayers. They don’t need a bunch of spoiled brats running around and being any less than peaceful. They are truly alarming.
I am so glad that God will know what they are doing and He will never bless them. I know that He is so sad at their behavior right now. I know that in time He will have His way with this world. I know that my God endorses the president and his leadership as something that needs to happen.
I pity the protestors. I really do.
War protestors should be ashame of them selves, when Our troops need 100% of support they go out and mentaly spit on them.. What you as a protestor do npot know, the why’s and what fores of anything, but just want to protest. You are doing nothing but betraying those who gave you the right to protest. It’s a proven fact you do not save lives but cost many more… I hope you can live with their blood on YOUR hands… In Vietnam War our troops were pulled out cause of the Protestors, and cause the death of our servicemen and women to go in vien. Not to mention cost the many incent lives of Vietnamese of the south in which we were defending. After the US pull out, they were killed, put in prison or forces to flee their country.. So sad when a small group of betraying punks can cause so much needless death…. Down with all protestors AND GO USA
I completely agree with the non-protestors.How can we as Americans protest the war when it is Americans who are fighting and dying for us.In protest, those soilders are being protested, those soilders being family, friends, and loved ones.And saying what there doing is wrong. How dare anyone to say this!There serving to protect all you protestors,so you can walk those streets, so you can say what you want to say, so you can choose and be what you want and they are fighting for the freedom of the Iraqies. Why would anyone not want another human to be free as we the American people are? And in protesting the war your saying Sadam is right and Bush is wrong. So it is right to allow someone to die rather than live! So it is right to torture another human being than be kind! So it is human to kill at your own will than to love!When one protest the war why do you not think of what it is like to be tortured or killed or your family threatend to be killed. Then tell me it is wrong to go to war! Or tell me that is was right for our hard working men and women to die in the trade towers or at the pentagon or on those planes. How would like it if it was your family? You wouldn’t!!!! So SHAME ON YOU!!!! One should support our Americans and do all that we can do to help our soliders and our President. Because if you were in his place would you just sit back and watch innocent people die. Our soliders are fighting for a noble cause.But as one protest you are being selfish and inconsiderate.Get your heads out of your own butts and start praying for the safety of our troops and praying for our President to have strength and wisdom, do something affective!!!!
The American Consumer
The American Consumer is outraged about the desecration of US soldier headstones in France with verbiage as follows: “take back your (US soldier bodies) garbage - it’s littering our soil”.
In memory of my father and all US fathers that fought against the Nazi occupation in France, I, my family, friends and business will never, ever purchase any products from France, Germany and Belgium. This action if implemented by the 78% of Americans that support the US position, will force US retailers to get the French “garbage” off US soil, restaurants and retailers.
i think we will win the war with iraq and all are soilders will be home soon
GOD BLESS THE USA
GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE US SOILDERS FIGHTING IN THE WAR WE LOVE AND APPRECIATE ALL FIGHTING IN IRAQ
Excuse me! There were movie stars in World War II. However, they were in a different “Class” than those of today. They were movie stars we were proud of, bragged on, TRUE to Their Country movie stars. Here is a list of some of them.
God Bless President Bush and all the men and women who are so bravely fighting for our freedom. I am so proud of my country and what we stand for. I am glad the majority of this country do not feel the same way as those “movie stars” in Hollywood. Just as they are not supporting our country and its troops, I and my family will no longer be supporting their pocket books by not viewing any of their works.
Thank you for this opportunity to speak my mind.
USA sucks balls and many other cocks mostly bush he sucks his wifes cock everyday 24/7
