"Joining the effort are a dozen peace and justice groups including the Ella Baker Center, ACORN, Code Pink, Peace Action, American Friends Service Committee, Latinos for Peace and Veterans for Peace."

Boy does this article cause the blood to boil.

All of the above groups and it's members are sucking up vital oxygen needed by patriotic Americans to sustain life.

What a squirrelly bunch of anti-American groups calling themselves left wing democrats and just plain wackos.

My nephew is an Army recruiter and has had to deal with the nuts from Code Pinko.

There isn't a bigger bunch of horses asses (code pinko) on the face of the earth unless it is the democratic party leadership of HowWeird Deaniac, Nancy Papalousi, Hairy Reed, Babbling Boxero, Murdering Teddy Kennedy, Little Dickey Turd-bin, Johnny Frenchie Kerry, Congressional Black Congress, ACLU, FemiNazi's and of course that ignorant Shelia Jessie Jackson Lee.

Yes, it can. Your namings of the "squirrelly" was amusing. However, on the brightside? Altho your blood may be boiling.. I hear the Lib-Dems in meltdown. In some wierd metaphysic way, I wonder if that's why there are a zillion newer stories about PitBull attacks. Toto just doesn't like being told where to go.

"No National Guard to fight forest fires"

That's it! Surrender now! Bring the boys home.


The forests are a quagmire. We should let them burn. /sarc

Israel mandates 4 years for Men, 2 years for Women, than the 1 weekend a month, 2 weeks a year (like the Guard) until they are 45 years old

Moms tell recruiters "Leave my child alone. I want him to become a limp-wristed pansy instead of a man."

So it's your view that any male who doesn't serve is a limp-wristed pansy? If so, most of President Bush's top guys and a fair number of Freepers are limp-writsed pansies.

"The usual run of anti-American snivelers."

I thought we were supposed to have freedom here in these United States. If mom's don't want recruiters sniffing around their kids that's their business. The common thread on FR seems to be that the State owns your children and you should be happy to let them serve. Our founding fathers seemed to think that a "standing army" was a threat to freedom for some reason. It's not anti-American to oppose war.

I volunteered for the Navy in 1968 but that was my personal decision. I could have waited to be drafted but that isn't the culture of my family who dutifully march off to war whenever one occurs.

It's my view that any boy who lets his momma stand in front of him to ward off the recruiters is a limp-wristed pansy.

"It's my view that any boy who lets his momma stand in front of him to ward off the recruiters is a limp-wristed pansy.:

When that happened to me I'd just smack my momma around. That showed her what a man I was.

I can tell you that if recruiters tried to entice our son six years from now, my wife would fight with every ounce of her strength to persuade him not to go. And I'd be there with her. We've already lost one child (not to war) and it would destroy us to lose another.

Libraries forced to close. No National Guard to fight forest fires. They can’t find $8.5 billion of the funds we sent to Iraq.


Huh?? My town just built a brand new huge library. Call me confused.

Yes, that's what I said, and that's what I meant. Look at the article in detail; these folks are organized Communists.

First let me say I did two tours in NAM. This is a rant about what's wrong with our government and asks is this what our troops should be fighting for.

The Muslim religion is today still considered the "Religion of Peace" by our President. Is his head screwed on too tight?

President Bush said outgoing Justice Sandra Day O'Connor was a "great American" deserving of a hug! Hello? Maybe his head is on too loose.

The Bush administration is talking about amnesty for undocumented Mexicans living in this country, as well as an expanded guest-worker program. The President should have been speaking in Spanish when he told us about the No Child Left Behind Act.

Our crime levels are rising, jobs are disappearing and our wage levels are dropping because of the administrations open border policy.

The Bush administration is pushing for CAFTA to pass which will erase our borders between Canada and Mexico, open the borders further to immigrants. Numerous other bilateral and regional agreements are pending.

The New America is sending our American jobs overseas. The professionals who invested in education and thought they had secure futures in the tech and service industries have had a rude awakening. They have been getting pink slips and joining the unemployment lines, along with auto workers, steel workers, assembly-line workers, loggers, and other low-tech workers. They are being replaced by low-wage workers on computer terminals working from India, Pakistan, and China.

On May 6th, President Bush signed the Singapore Free Trade Agreement, which (if approved by Congress) would allow an unlimited number of "temporary" workers from Singapore to enter the United States. The new Singapore FTA states: "A party shall not: (a) as a condition for temporary entry [of intra-company transferees] require labor certification tests or other procedures of similar effect; or (b) impose or maintain any numerical restriction relating to temporary entry."

The General Agreement on Trade in Services will affect virtually all service industries and service jobs, which means virtually all American businesses and jobs. The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, which takes the lead in negotiating trade agreements, provides this answer to its own question, "What are services?":

Services are what most Americans do for a living. Service industries account for nearly 80 percent of U.S. employment and GDP. U.S. exports of commercial services (i.e., excluding military and government) were $246 billion in 1998, supporting over 4 million services and manufacturing jobs in the United States.

The European Union show that the EU is angling to have the Bush administration force the state governments in the U.S. to eliminate those laws that the Europeans consider to be unacceptably "discriminatory." Remember how the 'seat belt law was passed? Not much force was used, just withhold the Federal dollars and the States will come around!

The proposed closings of many military bases is not an indication that this administration is intending on expanding our military forces for the defense of America. We have troops in 135 countries today. We are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan with National Guard troops, extending their tours of duty repeatedly and causing extreme hardships on their families.

We know how the Democrats think about these issues but Republicans, who claim to be guardians of the Constitution, are not doing a very good job. Republicans once favored a small, limited government but those days are behind us.


Yet FReeper Republicans criticize anyone who doesn't want to fight and die for the erasure of our national borders, the collapse of our native workforce, the voluntary forfeiting of our sovereignty and the crushing of our US Constitution.

Supporting our troops and supporting a false democratic government, which we now have, are two very distinct and different issues. Tell me which politician that you know is fully committed to their Oath of Office. American legislators only, please. Then include which part of their Oath mentions furthering socialism and a One World government.

I personally have advised my children not to consider joining our military services UNTIL we have a 180 degree change of direction in Washington DC. I have asked them to consider running for a local office. Neither of them would consider it because they are too forward. Just like me, they say what they are thinking. Not the proper trait of a successful politician.



The definition of “compassionate conservative:” a person who campaigns as a conservative, then sells out key conservative principles!

"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it."
- Mark Twain

If you want to make people angry, lie to them. If you want to make them absolutely livid, then tell 'em the truth.

I hope this post has made everyone reading it absolutely livid.
