OUCH!

I wish I could find the quote, By James A. Garfield I believe. That said something to the effect Every Man who talks down his country, Every Man who Fled to Canada To Avoid the Draft - Is a Democrat

You can never be sure anyone ever actually prevented a war.

The so-called "anti-war" left are full of it. They aren't really anti-war. They're just anti-American military victories. They've never met a bloody leftist uprising they didn't support. They worship mass murderers like Mao tse Tung. They are anything but pacifists.

The communist already have a day of celebration, it is called “May Day!”

We need a “make a commie disappear day” to celebrate so that Americans can finally rid this great Country of the liberal socialist who are destroying this Nation!

Nope. We honor those who fight the wars because there are too many countries out there more than willing to start a war and we must deter against that.

"Every Rebel guerrilla and jayhawker, every man who ran to Canada to avoid the draft, every bounty-hunter, every deserter, every cowardly sneak that ran from danger and disgraced his flag, every man who loves slavery and hates liberty,... and every villain, of whatever name or crime, who loves power more than justice, slavery more than freedom, is a Democrat."
--James A. Garfield, 1866

All they do is extend wars far beyond their natural lifespan.

What is ashame is Aint Fonda and Mashed potatoe face are rich. The college Tards still have to make their fortune and well, living in the basement of Mom and dad is not a good place to start. The Socialists encourage failure.

Shoot at that age I could not wait to be on my own. It was not easy but could not wait to get out.

Why? Because Mom and Dad set the example of hard work. They did not have to say a word about it.

Neville Chamberlain Day, right? I think the Brits already have a holiday with that name.

Of course not everyone who is against war communists. But the leaders and organizers of the “anti-war” movement certainly are. In fact, both major “peace” coalitions is organized by a communist org. United for Peace and Justice, Communist Party USA. ANSWER/Party for Socialism and Liberation, Workers World Party. CPUSA actually supported Stalin. WWP, North Korea, and Iraq under Saddam Hussein. Most of the people who participate in these events are ‘useful idiot’ mindless dupes, too dumb and naive to know that they are being used.

They aren’t anti-war at all, they just believed we were fighting on the wrong side.

Most of the young and naive participants probably are. ie, the ones being used by the communist organizers to advance their anti-American, anti-Capitalist agenda.

The greatest peace makers in the history of the world have been the American GI’s - wherever they are deployed, peace follows.

That is until Obama came along.

I never thought I would see the day where someone would call for a national holiday to honor the people, who, when called upon by their country would respond by declaring their cowardice publicly.
