CHRISTMAS FOR OUR TROOPS AND VETERANS http://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd76.htm

November11, 2004

There has never been any question I believe Bush's invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq is unconstitutional and an improper use of our military http://snipurl.com/akf1 . However, being married to a retired U.S. Army Colonel who spent 27 years in service, I fully understand that our active duty military are owned by the government 24/7 during their time in service. They go where they're told whether they want to or not. That's the reality of the situation.

Having said all that, Christmas is coming and our active duty freedom fighters are spread all over the world. Many are being kept in service longer than they were supposed to and won't see their families this Thanksgiving or Christmas. Our National Guard are suffering huge financial hardships from extended tours for Bush and his masters. So many of our veterans of foreign wars are still having a rough time of it, having seen horrors that no human should have to endure.

We are coming upon the time of the year that is particularly difficult for our deployed troops (all branches) and those in old soldiers homes who have no one, but we can let them know we care. Even those doing service here in these united States of America don't always have the money to even take a bus from one coast to another to see their family for Christmas or can't get leave because of the mission.

While our family doesn't do the present thing, we do celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and we have a wonderful, sit down family dinner. This year I have asked my family to join me in giving a gift from all of us to one organization for active duty and one organization for veterans.

I know everyone groans when they think about the "holiday hoopla," which is one reason our family doesn't do it, but because the post office has specific cut off dates, I wanted to let Americans know that if they would like to do a little something for those who voluntarily enlisted to protect us if necessary with their lives, now is the time to make your plans. I do thank you from the bottom of my heart and I know our troops and veterans will very much appreciate your card or gift.

The most requested items are: AA batteries Baby powder Baby wipes Books and magazines (gift certificates) Cassette tapes (blank) CDs (blank) Clothes pins Cotton swabs Cough drops Dental floss Deodorant Disposable Camera Duct tape Envelopes Fly swatters Fly traps Foot powder Hand sanitizer Heating pads Lip balm Liquid soap Note pads Pens Phone cards Playing cards Puzzles Razors Shampoo Shaving Cream Soap Socks Stamps Sun block Sunglasses Tissues Toilet paper Tooth brushes Toothpaste T-shirts (white) Under shorts Writing paper Beef jerky Canned meat Cookies (in tins) Crackers Dried fruit Drink mix Energy bars Gum Hard candy Homemade candy (in tins)

Check with your local post office for mailing requirements and cut off dates.

I wrote her an email and called her an idiot... I said anyone that doesnt support our Commander in Chief and pretends to support the troops AFTER a dissing of the President is nothing but a liberal moron... I didnt add my Daddy was an Army Col who loathed people like her, Kerry and Fonda ... look what she wrote me back about our President.....she is a NUT....PLEASE email her your "thoughts" hahaahhha

******************************** Don't you people know anything besides nasty?

My husband is a retired U.S. Army Colonel who spent 27 years in service:

http://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd76.htm

Only a fool would follow a president without asking questions whether what he is doing is right nor not. America's blind loyalty to the Republican or Democrat party is killing this Republic. I belong to no party because I refuse to get down on my knees and worship people who do NOT have the best interests of America at heart. Real Americans aren't sheep.

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does NOT mean to stand by the President or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country." --Theodore Roosevelt

Now, having said that, won't you please do some real homework on Mr. Bush and his global plan so that you understand he is not what you think?

I will tolerate one nasty e-mail, but kindly don't contact me again.

Thank you.

[Huck]

[JanetteS]

Do a google search on this nutcase and then back slooowly away!

[ArmyBratCutie]

BUT I want some of ya'll to email her your "thoughts" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[anniegetyourgun]

Me too, Huck. I can't take seriously anyone with the name of Devvy.

[ArmyBratCutie]

HAHAHAHA
well, you dont know what you're missing not reading her "reply" to me HHAHAHHAHA

[ArmyBratCutie]

AMEN hahahahahahaha

[Huck]

Sometimes you click on one of these, and right away it's just so dumb, you go "aw, what's the point?" Know what I mean?

[JanetteS]

My grandmother told me it is impossible to win an argument with an insane person.

I doubt anywone has won an argument with Devvy in a very long time.

But I encourage you to have fun and keep us posted! ;)

[pkp1184]

That's the reality of the situation. I don't think these people understand what "reality" is. They obviously don't live in a world of reality.

[ArmyBratCutie]

oh well, sorry.....I just thought ya'll would love to email her like I did.....I cant help but despise and respond :)
sorry it offended you......

[Huck]

I didn't mean any offense to you. It's a gametime decision which idiotic libs I feel like suffering, and which I don't. I apologize if I hurt your feelings. It has nothing to do with you :-)

[AirForceMom]

Good for you............this woman however is a bonifide nut job. You won't get any where with the likes of her.
On the other hand, seems like you're p*ssing her off!!

[bigfootbob]

I learned long ago to NEVER ARGUE WITH AN IDIOT THEY DRAG YOU DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL AND BEAT YOU WITH EXPERIENCE!

[ArmyBratCutie]

you saw where I emailed her back after she "kindly" requested me not too HAHAHAHAHAHHA sounds like she must have a wussy for a husband if he goes along with her mean hateful rants against the President who is the Commander and Chief..
I loved it!!

[ArmyBratCutie]

I email Maureen Dowd and Helen Thomas at least once a day.....and post at The New York Times message boards for Dowd and those other losers editorial morons....just for fun.....I emailed Sidney Blumenthall every single day from his articles on The Guardian....he removed his email address after President Bush won HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[AirForceMom]

However, being married to a retired U.S. Army Colonel who spent 27 years in service, I fully understand that our active duty military are owned by the government 24/7 during their time in service. They go where they're told whether they want to or not. That's the reality of the situation.
Please don't make it sound as if our military does not know this fact going in. My son is being deployed to Baghdad December 21st. He and 41 other brave men from his base VOLUNTEERED knowing they would miss Christmas with thier families. My son will also be missing our granddaughters 4th birthday.
This Thanksgiving we will be most thankful to the 59 million people in this great country who re-elected George Bush to a second term. While I will worry about our son and every other service person in harms way, I am relieved that the traitor J.Kerry will NOT be being sworn in in January.

My email to her.

[El Oviedo]

What a loser! How can an Army wife for 27 years say such a thing? As a colonel's wife, maybe they have a home up in the "hill" like Teresa, their own driver, first to ride in the airplane - very special. There was no complain then. After retirement, then comes reality. Adjust lady!

[ArmyBratCutie]

oh AirForceMom that is so moving!!
I didnt know your child was fixing to go to Baghdad.. please keep my nic and keep me informed on him...freep mail me or email me one...I'd like to send him a card etc now and again....I dont have anyone in my family members over there, nor in the military now, since my Daddy passed away...

[rockabyebaby]

devvy = twit

[AirForceMom]

Thats very sweet of you. :)
You know I was so glad to find FR, my family is mostly liberals ( two sisters have sons in the service too- go figure) and they drove me crazy with the anti-Bush BS. One friend won't speak to me know after I told her to cut the sh*t, she was still sending me junk AFTER the election.

[AirForceMom]

know-now.

[ArmyBratCutie]

hehehe my mothers whole family, on her side, are Democrats HAHAHAHHAHHAHA as you can IMAGINE I am NOT popular when we start discussing politics....but it tickles me...last family reunion I was well enuff to attend, I wore a sweatshirt I got from the SPCA that said "Mean People Suck" and I had Clintons picture pinned on under that HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Free Republic was a life saver for me too during this election period, the last few months.....I mostly ranted by myself on message boards, but was so happy to find others :)

[ArmyBratCutie]

I tend to think shes a nutcase now too El Oviedo.. but it was fun mocking her hahahahahahha

[drt1]

You know, the postings calling this thing a MORON really miss the mark. This thing is involved in all sorts of scams that use peoples ignorance, prejudice and hate as a means for her personal enrichment. The scams run the gamut from "Gold Coins" (To protect against the coming apocalypse), Tax scams (The age old scam that tax laws are unconstitutional), conspiracy theories ranging from 9-11 on through to Masons dominating the world and on and on. The one common thread in all of these diverse positions is the someone send her money to find out more. Simply put, she is a scammer and from her perspective the current confusion, uncertainty and divisiveness are merely vehicles to be used to ply her illicit trade.

[ArmyBratCutie]

yep you're right about that too drt1...she is outrageous...I had never heard of her before I read this article, sent to me by a kind pal that thought it was by someone "good" .. since they know I love to know about things going on to help the troops etc.....

[ArmyBratCutie]

hehehehe yep!

[JanetteS]

What's really disturbing is that several of her columns have been published on World Net Daily. I don't read everything on their site, and I always skip the "special offers", so I had no idea they endorsed this kind of crap. I may have to give them up if this is reflective of their journalistic "standards."

[TheWyzzyrd]

Here's my email:

First, let me commend you on your cause to help our troops and veterans. Speaking as a veteran, I would like to thank you for that. However, I think it is a shame that you had to include your personal views in the same breath. You obviously don't think the victims of 9/11 deserve our country's response, and that saddens me. Our country, and the world, are in peril from terrorist threats, and I, for one, am glad someone is doing something about it. How about you take out the references to your personal opinions and re-post the article? I think you would more likely get more positive results if you did. Just a thought.

[ArmyBratCutie]

seeeeeeeeeeee!! a nice reply...Im so hyper I always rant like a crazy person HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA
that was excellent and thank you for emailing her :)

[ArmyBratCutie]

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww I had no idea World Net would post such trash as she writes....its disgusting.....

[TheWyzzyrd]

My pleasure! ;^)

[TheWyzzyrd]

I find it's easier to swat flies when you tempt them with honey... LOL! Oh, and she hasn't replied yet... she either stopped replying or is swamped from this post!!!

[JanetteS]

Clarification: If you do a search on WorldNetDaily's site you get 22 "hits" on her name. She's written only one column for them, about how a vote for President Bush is a vote for the lesser of two evils. The rest of the columns seem to quote her as an "expert" on various issues: the Oklahoma City bombing, 9/11 conspiracies and nullifying income taxes. Her opinions on WorldNetDaily seem to be toned down in comparison with what you find when you do a google search.

I stand by my opinion that she's a nutcase and I will reserve judgment on WorldNetDaily.
