Another way to SUPPORT THE TROOPS!(TM)

Because you know the soldiers in Iraq have all the free time in the world to call their families, right?

  3. I have to put the TM so I don't get in trouble for infringing on the right's copyright. You know, the one with the yellow ribbon that goes on the back of the SUV?

  4. P.S. Yeah, you're right. I want my friends in Iraq dead, right? I haven't done anything like write to Congressmen or write letters to the editor to get them armor or to get the stop-loss removed.

    Keep waving your flag. When the troops finally get to come home (if?), they will be thanking people who tried to get them armor and who tried to get them home rather than those who put a ribbon on the back of the vehicle that is the reason they are there in the first place. And they will understand better than any of the flagwavers what it is to be an American. They already do.

  5. since you have not been there you can not possibly understand how wrong you are.

  6. wrong about what? that they flagwavers don't enlist their sons or daughters? i'm talking about what's going on in the US, not Iraq. and i am IN the US.

    if you are saying that i am wrong about the troops better understanding what it is to be an american when they are over there in misery right now, you are wrong, and you are not a patriot. keep waving your flag.

  7. funny, the vast majority of troops are eager to return. maybe they know something you who have sat here in the US do not know.

    i would rather be a flagwaver than a flagburner....

  9. where did i ever say they wanted to be in iraq? you are a fool.

    note to troops- i call you patriots, and this rightwinger disputes that. must be because you want to come home.

    schools are locally run. the same dumbasses that suspend students for talking to their mothers in iraq would be equally idiotic running some private school, only the students don't have the protection of the gov in private schools.

  10. p.s. you can take your "sit here in the US" comment and shove it up $@*&. yep, that's hate right there, but it is personal, not "leftist". it was the army's choice to not use my services, not mine.

  11. i believe the Army is wrong to not be using your services. the comment was to leftists in general, not you specifically. i know you would go if you could. you are the leftist exception which proves the rule!!

  12. thanks. i get so sick of hearing that "why aren't you there" b.s. from righties. but it is not true about the exception. my friends are the same way. i think the right is confusing the backlash against troops in vietnam from today.

  14. yeah, an Islam=religion of death isn't hate. it's just the motto of that moldy footballs site

  15. it isn't hate, it is an ill-formed opinion based on circumstances which can lead one to believe that.

    the majority of Muslims rarely do anything to dispel the notion in light of what is going on "in their name."

  16. right. you haven't been paying attention. i guess you've been reading too much from moldy footballs. i have to cut the grass now, but i'll post more on the alexandria declaration and the muslim intellectual movement going on now. and don't worry, i won't post any juan cole.

  17. Grass is cut. It looks quite nice. I wish I had taken photos of how bare my little patch of yard was, because the grass looks beautiful now. And my spinach is looking awesome. I actually ate a spinach salad the other day. Something keeps eating my strawberries, though. How lucky I am to have grown up in America, where I can grow a little garden without worrying about people coming and bombing it. My yard is my favorite room in the house. I grill the best hamburgers on the planet. Nothing better than sitting out here grilling hamburgers and drinking beer. I wish my friends and acquaintances in Iraq could be here to enjoy it with me. Because although I may be sitting here, barefoot and enjoying a Sam Adams and the nice weather, the fact that Americans are risking their lives to give me that privelege never leaves the back of my mind. Sometimes it is in the front of my mind, like today. For some reason, today, I have been unable to forget about them. They are probably roasting under the May sun already, while I sit here enjoying a pleasant Saturday afternoon, drinking a beer, grilling hamburgers, and watching baseball over the internet. The grass feels lovely on my feet, much more comfortable than those combat boots on hot sand are. Maybe I feel a bit guilty for being allowed to sit here in enjoyment. Maybe I feel helpless for not being able to stop it. Maybe I am afraid that it is just going to get worse. Maybe it is all of the above, plus some.

    I promise I'll post the Muslim stuff, but later. I'm always a big fan of religious enlightenment. I'm not, after all, an atheist.
