I'd just love to know the % of those protesting who have been in military and / or have children in it.

I heard (a while back on Fox) that about 70% of dems/ liberals would not want/ encourage a family member to join our military...
the % for rep/conservatives was in the 20's...
(sorry, I don't remember the exact %'s - but I did remember how high
it was for the liberals for non military svc)

so these liberal protesters want the freedom to protest...just don't wanna
fight for it...

I'd like to ship all these protesters to Iraq where they could make a difference. They can protest the suicide bombers, kidnappers and insurgents. some of them would get beheaded, but so what?Razz
There they would realise that "free speech" is not free.
We must fight for "free speech" and some of "our best" died for "free speech".

I think it became extinct sometime in the mid to late 60's, shipmate, about the time some lowlifes began burning flags and draft cards and chanting "Hell, no, we won't go".

Tony; SOB's won't do Iraq any good.........
Load em up sinking in the Atlantic would be a better use of travel funds.

I agree - ship 'em over.... they can drive the lead vehicles...

they can be the 'feelers' for IEDs

and I still think they (the real wacko protestors ) should have big
red X's on the rooftops of their houses... Shocked

hey, they are chicken livers !

peace man, peace...let's smoke a pipe and the extremists Muslims will
loooove us.
