I would have defended myself "appropriately" and then had the little puke arrested!
If I see someone spit on a returning Vet ... that person WILL lose some teeth ... jail or no jail. I have 31 years of pent up rage from when that happened to me when I returned from Vietnam.
Party of Peace, aye.
They're not anti-war, just pro-the other side. Kerry meeting the VC in Paris, Jane Fonda in Hanoi, Sean Penn in Baghdad and Michael Moore's praise of the "freedom fighters" and "minutemen" desperately trying to stop the march of democracy in Iraq.
Kerry wants to relive Vietnam; we are only seeing the beginning if he should win.
I did not see where this person claimed to be a Christian.
If he did then he is a liar.
There are a lot of Christians that do support the war.
Anyone can claim to be a Christian but God says you know them" by the fruit they bear".
Spit on a cop sometime if anyone doubts me.
There is also something call Citizen Arrest. Incidents like should not just be let go. Silence is acceptance. The appropriate response is what people did after the Ann Coulter incident. Hold them for the Police (using only the minimum required amount of force + 5% for spite).
Perhaps the spitter has bigger and better plans. He may be planning to one day run for office based on his opposition to the Iraq war.
It reminds me of when my husband, who was a service man, and I lived in Germany in the late 60's, and when it was time to rotate back to the states, we were afraid of coming back here because of all the riots on college campuses and in the streets because of the hatred of servicemen. I don't want our country to ever have to be like that again, and I feel that a Kerry presidency(Barf!) would make it so! RE-ELECT GEORGE W. BUSH!!!!!!
While in Victoria, Canada, my son, in uniform (Navy, USS Lincoln) was enjoying a lunch, sitting on a park bench with some shipmates. A woman for some unknown reason turned, as she walked by, spit at them (did not hit them) and cursed profanities at them.
However, there are also good people in Canada, of course. Two people. both of whom witnessed it, came over to offer apologies and words of support.
But .. when undecideds (who have children in theatre) here how this military man was treated .. I don't think it will win any votes for Kerry.
One would ordinarily conclude that conservatism would become virtually extinct because of the overwhelming presence of liberalism in our schools. But I think what happens is half of the little liberals who have been given phoney self esteem by the liberal "teachers" (who themselves don't really know anything) get out into the real world and find they can't survive out there because they never learned anything useful in the liberal establishments. This reality smack-down causes them to turn to a life of crime, whereupon they then prey on the other half of their former liberal classmates. When these liberal classmates get mugged by their under achieving high-esteem fellows, the newly mugged victim becomes a conservative.
That was funny. A rather descriptive picture of "a conservative is a liberal who got mugged."
I'm sure some of it is quite true, but not very many people get mugged up here, at least not in my neck of the woods.
I suspect conservatism is kept alive (albeit ever so slightly) by diligent parents and THE AMOUNT OF MONEY IN THE BOX THAT SAYS "TAXES DEDUCTED".
I did love your explanation, though. Thank you.
Spitting is potentially dangerous and this should have been reported to police.
Kerry is trying to pull another VietNam disgrace on our current troops serving in the WOT. However, he's so stupid he seems to forget 9/11 when America was attacked. And our current military are fighting to save us from further terrorists. And I believe most Americans are aware of this. I work from home where I have a clear view of Route 5 in Central New York State. Sometimes I watch the traffic going by and there are very few cars that don't have a metallic, yellow "Support Our Troops" ribbon on them, including ours. God save America and God Bless our military and God Save America from Kerry.
"Well said! Bears repeating!
My friend just smiled at me and said, "Madison is a small island of Socialism surrounded by the rest of Wisconsin, where the adults live."
That said, the bravest man I have ever seen in my life was in Madison, WI. He was a young man walking down the streets this Summer carrying not 1 but 2 Bush signs. He got some nasty looks but he was smiling.
The saving grace about the kids in the schools, is that there is a high degree of inherent B.S. detection with kids these days, and they sniff out all the Liberal nonsense.
My son asked some really tough questions back in H.S. government class, for instance.
