A heartfelt suggestion for Free Republic Members
I know you're upset about Senator Durbin's comments about the treatment of prisoners in GTMO. If I had your moral compass and set of values I'd be outraged right along with you. However, if you want to make a solid case against the Senator, why don't some of you (all of you?) go to GTMO undercover as Terrorist insurgents and spend a year or two or three down there and then you can report back in a few years how great prisoners are being treated there. You know, a first person account.

The same applies about the war in Iraq. You and your kind seem to think that all is okay over there. Fine. Enlist. Today. Go There. And report back about how great things are there for our men and women in uniform. Its a little tougher than displaying a magnet.

You know I'm just a fooling you, because you know that I know you all are spineless constitution hating cowardly morons. Who would expect a FR member to do anything good for our country?

AGAINST ALL ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.

3. They can't make it in the military!
In fact, I doubt they could even make it through basic training. Despite the new kinder, gentler boot camp regimen.

7. Some letter from an ex-pow guy who is still fighting the Vietnam War
Edited on Thu Jun-16-05 01:19 PM by The_Casual_Observer
feigned outrage at Durbin, said he was in league with "Hanoi Jane".
It's as if the only value that this country has is in killing people because "the president" says so.

9. Thank you my fellow American
Conservative hate and ignorance has made me the wacky liberal I am today. And thanks to them I am no longer mildly apolitical, I keep up with current events and politics and will do anything I can to support and defend the constitution as I did for 24 years. Only this time, I have redefined the enemy of that great document.
