What does "bump" indicate?

[Gordian Blade]

Welcome to Free Republic. We like to hear well-informed opinions that are not delivered by condescending, self-righteous people.

[Mister Baredog]

When he attempted, through the media, to inform the Australian public of the monstrosities he had fled from, his words somehow filtered back to Iraq

It is impossible to square this story with all the "useful idiot" peaceniks pukes that are really anarchists hiding behind peace activism. You only have to think back before 9/11. They were disrupting every international trade conference, they were fighting against that boogieman "globalization".

"The American people need to hear this. "

Fox has had some interviews with people from Iraq who have vividly described some of the atrocities that go on there, and there have been articles published as well.

The problem is that, when confronted with these truths, the rabid left ascribe them to government propaganda and/or the vast oil conspiracy. The fact is that reason and proof are ineffective on people who have no reason.

Apologies.
I was attempting to illustrate the widespread interpretation of the US actions in the Middle East. I meant no offense.

I recently sent this letter to one of our news papers "Public Opinion":

What Took You So Long?

As our troops moved towards the towns in Iraq, crowds of citizens who lived under a cruel regime swarmed our vehicles, thanking our troops for saving them from torture and death from Saddam. Many screamed, "What took you so long"?

Let's see, what did take us so long? The UN, France, liberal Democrat Senators, Code Pink, L.A. City council, Michael Moore and all of the other Hollywood wierdos just to name a few...the list goes on.

Really?

I do not support "this type of ruler". However I do support other countries’ sovereign right to determine their own destiny without condescending, self-righteous outside influence.

I retract all statements made here today. I did not understand the purpose of this forum when I posted as I did. Semantics are not an interesting basis for discussion, in my opinion. I like to read your opinions from time to time. Some very valid points are made here.
This time I thought I might register and participate. Eek. I will return to lurk mode.

IRAQI SOLDIER CAPTURED WITH ANTHRAX & INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO KILL COALITION SOLDIERS

[Porterville]

Come on man, most liberals can only read at the 3rd grade level, newspapers are written at the 6th grade level. Also, liberals are usually hung-over or high, so their attention would be lost after the first two sentences even if they were literate. So, buy a liberal some beer or drugs and maybe they'll just go away.

You'd learn a lot about yourself and the rest of the world if you stayed and participated. If what you said really reflects what you believe, then defend it.

If you can't defend it, and still believe it, then maybe you have some serious questions to ask yourself.

[God is good]

I say let them speak,let the Iraqi people speak out about what Iraq is like. Talk shows should devote entire shows to have these people call in and tell their horror stories.

No you don't support people's sovereign, God-given rights. YOU SUPPORT A DICTATOR!! AND I AM VERY CLOSE TO CALLING YOU A ELITIST FASCIST ALSO!! LOOK AT LEARN AT THE IRAQI PEOPLE!! IRAQ BELONGS TO THE IRAQI PEOPLE!!! NOT TO SOME DICTATOR THAT YOU WANT TO KEEP IN CONTROL OF PEOPLE'S LIVES!! IF YOU LOVE YOUR DICTATORS SO MUCH, GET OUT OF THIS COUNTRY AND LIVE UNDER A DICTATORSHIP!!

[Mister Baredog]

Apologies.

I think you must be meaning to apologize to someone else, check your posts. No offense taken, welcome to FR, I'm pretty new myself.

"...its too bad everyy "war protester" cant read this. "

The liberal press is complicit in the war protests. The press doesn't do real journalism and show the protestors who they are protesting for. By playing up the protests and advertising upcoming protests they fuel easy stories for their own monetary gain. Nevermind that it gives support to the terrorists.

[LiteKeeper]

Add to my database of Iraqi-atrocities that are not understood, or ignored, by the anti-war/America protestors.

[freeperfromnj]

But, of course, the RATS in the street hate Bush more than Hussein. They are vile, despicable peace pukes.

And they are just as insignificant as the UN. No one that matters is even listening to them. Most of these protesters are from the "blue" cities -- they don't count.

[stands2reason]

They are coming out of the woodwork now... they're not afraid to talk anymore, and they want their voices heard!!!

[stands2reason]

Eek. I will return to lurk mode.

Hey, wait, don't go! We're not so bad, once you get to know us! ;-)

BTTT!
