these vermin would probably prefer a Karl Marx doll giveaway.
Glad I was a kid in the 80's instead of today with all the pansies ruining everything.
(I guess this is sort of RI-related, as G.I. Joe is made at Hasbro)
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent Rhode Island ping list.
I don't remember anyone bitching about ball teams giving away Beanie Babies. I guess they were politically correct mushy plush toys.
Hey it better than BAT night.
Bwaaahaha!!!
Ooooh that's a goody :-)
Mary Beaudoin, a leader of Women Against Military Madness, Minneapolis, said she's "appalled'' by the giveaway.
"This is hideous … a bad message to send kids,'' she said. "Kids need to be raised with the values of life, not killing.''
I would asume then that Ms. Beaudoin is a member of the Pro-Life movement then. You wanna bet?
BTTT
Hmmmm. Am I missing something here, or do the opinions and words of these liberal nutjobs directly contradict their “we support the troops” spiel?
I'm suprised they don't spell it "Womyn".
I work in Minneapolis and live in St Paul, yesterday i rode bike to work like i normally do and on the way home i crossed the mississippi and ran into a mini anti-bush rally. as i was coming over the bridge i was getting thumbs up from the pseudo-hippies that obviously thought i was riding bike because i care about the environment thus making me a democrat. i had to stop after seeing the "Stop Bush" signs and the "bring the troops home" I like to bite my tongue with strangers but i just didnt have the will power. I asked a 30 something lady with the Stop Bush sign who should I vote for then, she replied "um um, I dont know" Then I told her I was going to vote for Nader and some guy next to us went ballistic on a rant about how a vote for Nader is a vote for Bush. I smiled and told him that I sure hope so.
A few protestors further in the "Bring the Troops Home" camp I asked which troops do you want brought home? a guy said all of them, which suprised me since he obviously meant those in Afghanistan, and Italy and Alabama, I told him that we have already brought troops home from these foreign places including Alabama. He didnt believe me, evidently when a soldier, sailor or marine goes over there they never get to come back...ever. He actually said with conviction that none of our troops have came back from Iraq. I responded by asking him if that was true, why was i here since a year ago i was in the gulf. he had no responce obviously.
sorry for the rant, but at least understand the rhetoric that you are spewing people!!
When will these so-called "peace activists" realize it's not always about them? I'm not holding my breath.
I always try to find a G.I. Joe doll to include in my annual Toys for Tots donation. Little boys love them!
Cool! Collectors Item!!
It's not like the Joe team didn't have babes also (Scarlet and Cover Girl).
Alabama is a foreign place!!?? Maybe you meant Albania or the Balkans in general.
I went to their website and told them I supported their giveaway.
I guess even Phillies fans can get it right sometimes!;-)
Cheers!
