The nun in the 8th picture is from a left-wing Catholic organization.

Ping!

[AUH2OY2K]

Wagering the she is a Maryknoll type.

[we_will_prevail]

What an idiot! Yeah, it's Bush's fault, honey -- you wouldn't dare blame the terrorists who beheaded the very person you're allegedly upset about. Pathetic.

I tried to post this today but for some reason I can't post today. Anyway, below is an email I received from my very good friend, Joon in Seoul, who now works for the Korean Govt. I met her while she was attending college here, where she graduated first in her class. She is brilliant by my estimation, and so i was very interested to know her reaction last week to the slaughter. Here is an expert of her email to me, and I have reason to believe more Koreans than not, share her view:


"...Yes, we, Korean got shocked because my fellow countryman was killed in
Iraq.
I feel so sorry for him and his family members who lost their love one.
He was from Pusan, which is my hometown. But, I don't know him
personally.
Is it fortune or unfortune???

Today, I read an article that an American soldier has been killed in
Iraq
again.
Before these tragedies happened, I didn't support Korean government to
dispatch our troops in Iraq. Because I thought Korea didn't need to
intervene the war. However, now I've a bit changed
my mind. Bad Iraqi people!!!!! They even don't have any mercy for human
being. Of course, not everyone in Iraq, but some of bad guys."

Re #5

I agree. Thanks for sharing her e-mail with us.:)

How about rooting for the terrorists to leave the earth? Oh, wait, I guess that doesn't fit your agenda...

Piss off liberals worldwide--vote for Bush!

[meanie monster]

Thank you very much, we must never forget. Good post!

[sarasota]

That represents the twisted logic of America's liberals.

[AmericanInTokyo]

There need to be MORE FREEPS in the US where we very publically show courage, (like some of those in Seoul) and burn the photos of terrorists like Zarkawi and Bin Ladin, rip the crap out of them and burn them, and get as much TV coverage as we can. Sad to say, about 80% of Americans have gone back to their pre-911 slumber, though. Idiots. They are as naive as hell as many of the Korean libs and anti-Americans.

[Billthedrill]

...get as much TV coverage as we can.

Aye, there's the rub. Any such activity will be deliberately and systematically ignored by media so insanely partisan at the moment that I don't think even most of their critics recognize the fact. It isn't that they're for the terrorists, or unsympathetic to people being killed by them, it's simply that the one and only important thing in their cramped little world is defeating Bush, and everything they broadcast or print is measured strictly by that yardstick.

It is really scary. We have four long months of this shrieking to endure and heaven help us when Bush wins.

Bush - Leave your base, belong to us.

[Embedded Freeper]

Cleaver.
Bush, leave our boys our of International Court.
All your Soldiers belong to us, make your time. And soon.
