War Protesters

The thing that none of you so called “Anti-War” people realize, is that we “Pro-War” people (as you call us) as well as everyone in the military, are all anti – war, do you think that we want war! Do you think that we want our fathers, sons, and daughters to go over there and fight and die! No, we don’t! The difference between us and you is the fact that we know that it does not take two men to start a war, only one. And we know that sometimes you have to go and fight and die so that others may live in a free country. My family knows this all to well, we have had at least one family member from every generation fight for this country in every war this country has been in, from the Revolutionary war on up to the war on terrorism and the war in Iraq, and my father is over there right now fighting so you people can call him a baby killer and his superiors Nazis. You all take this for granite, and you need to be more appreciative of the freedoms that you have and more thankful to those who have given them to you. So before you go and call someone a Nazi, think about all those Marines, Soldiers, Seamen, and Airmen who have died to give you the right to say that.

I went to my first war protest today, and it was nothing like I expected it to be.

First, the overwhelming majority of Pickaway County, OH (bible belt) supported us.

Secondly, the ones who gave us the bird showed legendary resolve and bravery, and only did it after the light had turned green, and they didn't have to face those that they insulted. [inflammatory statment alert!] I am noticing a connection here between Cletus and Lulabelle and the biggest mouthpieces for the war, the Bush Cabinet, Fox News staff, and conservative talk radio show hosts who are all, to the man, draft dodgers. So there must be a connection between uber-patriotism, conservatism, and cowardice.

Thirdly, a soldier who had just returned from Iraq, still in uniform came out. He says that everywhere he went, there was no electricity, and in his judgement the country was in need of about twice the soldiers that we have on the ground today. Sure, he was a specialist, but he did just come from Baghdad.

As for the "babykiller" reference, you two smitty"s need to review your past postings...and I quote...."But our entire nation calls little dead children in Iraq "collateral damage." Are our little white American fetuses more precious than little brown Iraqi ones?" veiled referance but the point is American servicemen still intentionally kill "little dead children". And another true anti-war or anti-violence statement from our resident leftists,"Woot! Getting ready for the March 19 protests! I even have a few extra days off in case I get arrested. I hope I get to do a pre-emptive strike on those Protest Warrior fools if they show up." I think he was saying that the same "fundamentalist" Christians that got Bush elected for some reason don't shed a tear for the 100k Iraqis dead from misplaced bombs and mistaken intelligence. The reason bibles today put Jesus quotes in red is so Christians can ignore what he said easier.

And where was all the rightious indignation while the Democratic hero Mr Clinton was bombing "aspirin factories", "babyfood plants" and even a real honest to god "Chinese Embasy" with real Chinese inside, and all the deaths of innocent Serb children killed by the bombings, oh we were too worried on the vast right wing conspiricy while Mr Clinton was getting ......skys.....

At least be consistant folks......protest all wars, acts of aggression, attrocities, not the ones the DNC decides may get them back into power again. That is your problem in a nutshell, you have to be all for something or against it. Here's how it works: Vietnam, bad idea. WWII, good idea. Desert Storm good idea. Operation Iraqi [insert latest justification], bad idea. See how I pick and choose what to protest, and my brain didn't melt or anything!

And maybe, just maybe if these protestors actually did some true investigating instead of hoping on the popular bandwagon, many of these DNC talking points may be questioned, but by their agenda, they prefere not to for the true point of the exercise is as usual an attack on President Bush, and his administration....no true Democratic ideas to spout other than Bush is wrong. Dear God, how many times do I have to justify why I think this war is wrong? Why do you keep repeating the same Rush Limbaugh garbage over and over?

Ask the Danes, Belgians, Norwegians, French how they were told Herr Hitler was no threat and their will be "Peace in our Time", and until the end there were French protestors to a "criminal" war, right up until the French Surrender in May 1940.

Not revisionist history, just history in its cycle of repeating itself again....65 years later....Radical Islam and its individual and or nation state supporters are no threat to the west..........
Now we are about to repeat Vietnam, where a bunch of soldiers wind up dead, and we lose. I read history too.
