So again, repeat after me, I am just like Mr Wright
"No, NO, NO, God D@m America and God
D@m Americans who voted for Bush."
or you can repeat after me, "No No No, GOD D@m people who won't fight for freedom, and
GOD D@m those who suck the nipple off the
government while bashing it for protecting them."
Yeah, I said that one hehehehehe

I don't like democracy.
Nonetheless, yes, Americans that vote for Bush twice, have favorable opinions to Bill Clinton and just continue to elect these idiot politicans to Congress and the Presidency, yes they are morons.

now how dangerous is that? I guess thats why
we call it the home of the brave.

I don't care what you or anyone else thinks. I don't care about PC. I don't care about giving constructive criticism of this country or the occupants of it.

They volunteered to go into insanity... I say that this makes them something SPECIAL and that means I TREAT THEM AS SPECIAL PEOPLE! If I see one out at dinner, I pick up the tab, if I see one pumping gas... I wash his windshield and check his oil... because THAT IS THE VERY FREAKING LEAST I CAN DO, TO SHOW HIM THAT I UNDERSTAND WHAT HE DID AND DOES AND THAT I FREAKING APPRECIATE IT!
Worship? No sport I don't worship them, but I dayum well know that what they're doing goes WELL above the call that most people accept and that doing so make cost them everything... which, again... MAKES THEM SPECIAL.
And if you can't handle it, that THEY ARE MORE SPECIAL THAN YOU... then I suggest you grab the phone book and find a Military recruiter and let them suit you up sport. Then you can be special too and you'll get a first hand look at why you're special... and yes, if you do... give me a call and we'll get together down here in Naples and I buy ya some chow, top off that oil and put a shine on that windshield the likes of which you've probably never seen before... and it will be my honor to do so...
They're special because they do things that are unique among their peers...

I don't think they are special.

Youre right tho,they dont have to fight-they sign up for it.They sign up for it even today surpassing all the enlistment quotas accross the board,knowing all about the dangers many of them will face.Thats why theres an undefinable aura about the soldier in this country.Put fear,family,personal freedom aside for a higher calling is remarkable.

No. It is the opinion of my neighbor three doors down.
Of course it is my opinion or else I wouldn't state it. Your opinion is that it isn't incorrect, but instead correct, correct?
Not to me. It isn't honorable in the least.

As much as I don't like this war, I'm glad we have people who are willing to fight it.
I know it seems strange since the war itself is not a worthy cause... but their willingness to fight it is how I know we can be safe when a worthy cause comes up.

When a worthy cause does come it, the line for those wanting to go over to a foreign land and die will be longer than the one for Iraq I am sure.
Putting convictions ahead of duty to the state is far more admirable to me.

It is ironic to me that those who value so much their freedom to be a naysayer, do not support or respect those who actually made the sacrifices neccessary for their freedom to be a naysayer to exist!
I cannot have respect for these naysayer people, who are unwilling to put themselves in harm's way for any other human being!!!

They aren't protecting my freedom.
I can't respect someone that willingly puts themselves in harms way for an idiotic purpose.
