Code Pink Leader Has Tantrum at Walter Reed - 01/27/06

January 27, 2006

[3D-JOY]

Your comments in post 252 are well stated and should be remembered. There is "history to the CodePinkos "vigil". Maybe we should re-tell it to the new followers of the threads.

I would like to NOT see their current signs in these posts...show the ones they used before they had to change them to meet the press pressure.

One picture showing them "still there" would do...then many-many more of the Freepers and their signs of thanks and love.

Now that would be a weekly, reading, celebration!

[3D-JOY]

Just read your #281.

BUMP with approval!!

It could be cold, warm, light, dark, wet, dry, snowy, icy, sunny, foggy, starlit, moonless, mosquito infested, etc. they would not attend.

There would always be an excuse for a person who wanted to just sit and watch others do the work of supporting the troops and celebrating freedom!

I think I reacted so violently because of the teacher angle.

Imagine thinking a display case was important? Would this be a way to "preach to the choir" or provide a place for others to display their opinions in graffiti?

That's my bet! They will have to provide security to stop CodePink types from removing or defacing it.

What is forgotten also is Code Pink is a well trained Socialist group. They live on donations from who ever will write them a check. One of the reasons they can't give up is that it is their job and their volunteers are helping them make money. Gael doesn't sail unless she can use someone else's money. Exposure of these people who change their attack for PR purpose has to continue. Lack of money will keep them home. None of these womyn will do this on their own dollar.

I get my stupid ideas about the conservative temperament from things like this from the Federalist Papers and this from Ronald Reagan.

Other than that first post, which I admitted was too harsh, I've been trying to discuss an honest question I've had for a long time about what it means to be a conservative and what happens if one gets addicted to militant tactics. Why would you attack someone for that? Sheesh . . .

But, when it gets right down to it I did get my question answered. F -er- thank you all, very much!

Thanks for you lists of Support the Troops 'accomplishments'. Sorry about getting back to you so late, but I have my business to run in addition to putting together a post to you.

Your "resume" seems to be very centered around the comfortable sphere of the university and preaching to the choir. This does nothing to let our troops know that people really do support them. Try getting into one of the many blogs that communicate with the troops and send them letters, candy, gift packages, anything that the troops can see or put their hands on.

So that you know the D.C. FReepers do not just "act like 7 year olds" in front of Walter Reed, here is a list that I've personally been involved in with the D.C. Chapter. The links do not even begin to tell about the numerous personal activities that our members do directly for the troops in WR and in the combat zones.

I suspect you'll find some of the links very educational and "above the fray". We are, by our counter protests, even shaping the antiwar protesters way of protesting, ie.: moving them away from their comfortable corners and making them change their signs and tactics. We are also showing the general public (not just fellow conservatives) that there is another voice out there. We kept the local newspaper as close to being non-biased as possible when reporting on the Onley Debate, see link to Gazette in debate thread.

Basically, we celebrate our accomplishments as anyone does but can still engage the antiwar groups in civil manner. It just depends on the circumstances. One has to be there to understand the moment.

Why would you attack someone for that? Sheesh . . .

For the same reason I'd punch a drunk in the face after he smashed a chair over my head.

[bmwcyle]

The facts he has collected have proved his theories. I repeat, theories.

Where did you learn to be so condescending? Believe me, your stuoid ideas are all yours.

Other than that first post, which I admitted was too harsh, I've been trying to discuss an honest question I've had for a long time about what it means to be a conservative and what happens if one gets addicted to militant tactics. Why would you attack someone for that? Sheesh . . .

When you make a really bad first impression, you have to live with the consequnces. BTW, where did you learn to be so condescending?

But, when it gets right down to it I did get my question answered.

Hey, that's our policy, an answer with every ass whipping. Did I forget to ask, "Where did you learn to be so condescending"?

F -er- thank you all, very much! You're welcome, come back again when you can't stay so long.

[trooprally]

.... F -er- thank you all, very much!

I guess by not saying what you are really thinking makes you more conservative and supportive of the troops. Actually, it seems to make you look like you have a lack of confidence in your beliefs. You would have been seen in a more positive light by our group if you stuck to your original statements and argued them, even if we disagreed with you. As an educator, you should have run rings around our side of the "debate".

[Mr] Trooprally

[freema]

The lesson to be learned from this exchange of ideas, dear teacher, is: answering your own questions is perfectly acceptable to get the answer you want to questions that have no basis in substance or fact.

If you really wanted to understand what it means to be a conservative and one who gets addicted to militant tactics, you're barking up the wrong tree with nothing more than another nothing comment and another insult.

Try being a tad conservative and being just a tad militant and bite me, and then maybe you'll have an answer to your question.

Or maybe you already have the answer, since you claim to be a conservative and you've waltzed in here slapping the DC FReepers with your esteemed rhetoric?

[TPartyType]

Thanks. And, just for the record, it wasn't me that accused you guys of acting like 4 year olds. That was someone else.

[TPartyType]

.... F -er- thank you all, very much!

That was a joke, in reply to concretebob's #217!

Dr. R, I tried to share the source of where I got the idea that conservatives believe in reasoned discourse and I'm condescending?

I tried to explain to people that I'm simply trying to discuss an honest question I've had for awhile and I'm condescending?

I tried to show people that I don't just sit on my ass at the computer (thereby REALLY exposing myself to abuse) and I'm condescending?

the BEST way to lose me as a friend is NOT to call me IMMEDIATELY upon arrival OR beforehand such that i can meet/greet/feed you.

I stand corrected, it was Joesbucks who spoke without saying anything. If someones says something without really saying anything, does any one hear it? NO!!

Some protest - looks like there's only 2 of them.

[3catsanadog]

In a fit of anger, Allison Yorra yelled at us, calling us a bunch of nobodies and that nobody reads our blogs.

And did she follow that up with "Neener, neener, neener."?

[bmwcyle]

[TPartyType]

I'd punch a drunk in the face after he smashed a chair over my head.

Okay, you did. You and all your buddies, and here we are.

So, why can't we just sit down over there in the corner and have a little talk, man to man?

I'm buyin' . . . :o)
