on soldiers.

It's the opposite now as it was the opposite a quarter of a century ago.

What convoluted logic can take a protest designed to take our soldiers out of harm's way and convert it into an anti soldier stand?

Why do so many feel that the concept of NOT killing others is unpatriotic?

Why is it that no one in the media or government can put together the fact that the Iraqis might be a little pissed at America when we have killed roughly 12,000 men women and children whose only crime was to have lived in Iraq?

I just watched Skip Barker who saw John Kerry catch a wound in his thigh on the swift boat fess up that he voted for Shrub, but it was a bad mistake. Why are so many Americans of the set that once we have commited to a "war" we must see it through to the end no matter what that end may be and no matter the fact that we were lied to to start the damned thing in the first place?

Life is sacred. American life, Iraqi life... These people profess to be Christians and Jews. What is it about Thou shalt not kill that they don't understand?


(end questioning rant).

DOUBLE POST PLS DELETE THIS ONE... What's going on? Are we seeing a freep attack? The board is crawling.
