I just thought freepers would like to know what the enemy is up to. (And remember -- the left supports the troops!)

Their site was down yesterday, but looks to be up at the moment. I've saved a screen shot of this page just in case.

"the community here has the right and responsibility to say that there is no place in our city for centers whose sole purpose is the recruiting of people to kill."

These people are insane.

Yeah, I zeroed in on that "recruiting of people to kill" line also. They say that like it's a bad thing!

[Sterco]

Shut down all student loans
Shut down all government aid for colleges who's campuses
do not allow recruiting

[2nd amendment mama]

These are the very same people who would bitch the loudest if our government/military didn't protect us from the terrorists. I've totally lost my patience with these scum! If I said what I'm really thinking right now, Jim Rob, would banish me for 6 lifetimes.

I find it ironic that the anti-military "pogs" are congregating in front of a dinosaur.

[darkwing104]

They are full of themselves aren't they...

[massgopguy]

So there going to shut down the Mosques?

[Kokojmudd]

Wish I could be there to help counter these creeps and get a Primanti Bros sandwich.

Yeah, I got a chuckle out of that part too!

United States Constitution, Article 3, Section 3, Clause 1 reads:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

POG states: We support a diversity of tactics for this day of action. By this we mean we encourage and support any and all non-violent actions (whether symbolic, direct, passive, confrontational, etc) taken to expose, confront, and disrupt the war machine and military recruitment in Pittsburgh.

Sounds to me like POG is definitely adhering unto our enemies and providing aid and comfort to them by activiely seeking to "disrupt" the U.S. "war machine" and military recruitment. Why then does the U.S. government repeatedly let them get away with it????? (rhetorical question while pulling my hair out!)

"Donations to the bail fund, legal expenses..."

Guess they know where they are going to end up!

[billnaz]

When is our government going to grow some stones and start prosecuting those who are giving aid and comfort to the enemy?

When Hanoi Jane was not prosecuted for her treasonous acts during the Vietnam War I predicted then that the failure to prosecute would come back to haunt us. It has.

Thanks. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..........

"Educational campaigns, while making progress in shifting general opinions on the war,"

In your dreams, hippies. You only think so because old media is faking polls with 49% dems and 35% Republicans. We're as determined as ever, and there are more of us.

From another thread...The Big question: What do BAMN, Sheehan Vigilantes, and "anti-military recruitment groups" have in common?

"The BAMN PRINCIPLES: BAMN PRINCIPLES, MALCOLM X And then this: Defending Affirmative Action: Tips for Teen Organizers PLUS "Leave My Child Alone: Click here to OPT OUT: Does the Pentagon Have your Number?

Hmm... lessee.. Cindy Sheehan, BAMN in Michigan in re MCRI, and the anti-military RECRUITMENT efforts. How about the **same** ideology.

I'm not so sure. There aren't many of these POG misfits, even in the bluest of blue areas. Unless they assault someone or destroy government property, mockery and disdain are probably more potent weapons than courts and jail.
