Flashback from the past. Some Maine Teachers Traumatizing Students of Deployed Soldiers

The antiwar groups are always pushing the envelope as to acceptable behavior. Protests in Veterans Parks, outside of WRAMC, and demoralizing the children of our troops.

Please, everyone embarrass the state of Maine. Let them know how you feel about them.

You should be ashamed of your ignorant answer. We have an all volunteer military. I doubt if 1% of those who serve 'love war' - but every one that serves has to be prepared to make war since that is what they signed on to do. The same for those who support the war - recognize the responsibility and the necessisty to fight for and defend what we have. Craven cowards crowd and crow from their ostensible 'moral high ground' - depending upon others to protect them from the evil that prowls all the while denigrating them and crying crocodile tears while celebrating the deaths of the brave.

Bridges for Peace members are searching for common ground, and said this is an opportunity to open a dialogue in the community to discuss different viewpoints.

My idea of common ground is for the peace idiots to have a sit-in at the low tide marker during a full moon. And as for dialogue, I can drive 45mph in the fast lane if I want to hear that language.

"I think the veterans park is a sacred place," she said. "What do the white flags signify? They signify retreat."

No, lady, they do not signify retreat. They signify SURRENDER. It's my opinion that most of these dingbats in the pseudo peace movement are unaware of the facts, many not able to grasp the facts when presented, and simply being used as dupes by the commies who run the movement. No different than the "peace movement" on America's campuses during Vietnam.

This lady did not complain that her son was in a war.

She does not want his morale ruined by anti-war retards who display their crap in Veterans cemetaries, memorial parks, and who protest every Friday night at military hospitals where combat soldiers are trying to recuperate.People who attend the funerals of combat heroes who died fighting for their country and voice their protests during their funerals. People who give aid and comfort to our enemies.

Just called the number, yes I called them scum and then he said we will get you for harassment, if I were to call. I hung up!

Charming isn't it. Thank you so much for calling.

[kstewskis]

Moonbats are such disgusting evil liars.

There.

[dandelion]

I just verified this by calling the police dept. to ask. According to the very polite officer on the other end of the line, five veterans were arrested tonight. Call them and find out for yourself!

Be polite, but let them hear from you.

[DocJ69]

Scum is scum, I have a son serving in the Navy, spent my time with Marines in Vietnam. They are trying hard to make are men and women look bad.

Isn't it against FR rules to change the title of an article?

"their act is treason, as defined in the Constitution, Art. III Section 3:"

No it isn't, and stop trying to cheapen real treason by likening what these idiots are doing to the real thing. Real treason is blowing up Army bases and murdering American soldiers and government workers en masse. Real treason is leavying -WAR- against the United States; NOT putting insulting and degrading surrender flags in a park in Maine. I'm about sick and tired of people trying to stretch the treason clause in the US Constitution further than the Commerce Clause 'til it reaches the point that it was under Crown rule. The reason treason is the only crime defined in the US Constitution is because of the abuses of it under Crown rule suffered by the people who wrote the damn thing. Cheapening the meaning of treason as defined in our Constitution cheapens the death of every freedom-minded person punished and murdered by English royalty for centuries, and that's for damn sure a lot more disgusting than putting up flags in a park.

We may not like what these people are doing; most of us are plain angry about it. Turning back the clock to Crown rule or turning us into Communist China are NOT appropriate responses to that anger.

"Just because you join the military does not mean you stand for war , It means you wish to protect your loved ones from it."

You're absolutely right; we build our military might so that we don't have citizens forced into battling foreign troops in the streets of America. We have a volunteer fighting force which conservatives seek to keep strong and mighty in the hopes that no one will even attempt to challenge our dominance over our sovereign territory. This strong military force has kept this country safe from organized foreign military attacks on the homeland all but once since 1812. Our response to the attack by the Japanese has kept this homeland safe from further organized military transgressions since.

If you want peace, prepare for war.

[No Longer Free State]

How can this bunch of FING traitors believe that ANYONE, even the dumbest, mentally impaired, lefty will believe white flags are an honor to a soldier?

[No Longer Free State]

The only McLarnon listed on the Army's White Pages is a Ranger.

Insert punchline here.

[sgtbono2002]

Yopu must have written to the wrong poster friend. Either that or you cant read. Please point out where I am not four square behind our troops 100%.

Treason, as defined by the Constitution, includes giving "aid and comfort" to the enemy.

Either your ignorance of the Constitution or your inability to understand plain English, or both, are showing.

"Treason, as defined by the Constitution, includes giving "aid and comfort" to the enemy."

Feel free to make a citizens' arrest at any time; see how fast you wind up in jail for false arrest/kidnapping.

Your personal attacks aside, please read past the first ten words of my comment before replying.
