Response to freeper quote: "You wouldn't be able to protest in other

[noahmijo]

countries thank a soldier for that ect!"

I say "And if our forefathers took YOUR positions in 1773 there'd be no AMERICAN soldiers and you'd be speaking with an English accent and getting taxed to help susidize the tea industry"

Optional: Add the word BITCH! at the end of statement.

I also love to refer to these types as flat-earthers and torries.

1. Obviously the freeper doesn't get out much

In 2003 people from all over the world protested against the war. Various countries held their own protest's too including Britian. Doy. Those freepers don't get out much. Even Iraq is protesting us now.

6. Thank you.It goes to show, they do not know what they are saying

2. Freepers wouldn't get it. They don't know that much history. nt

3. Well America was only founded a 1000 years ago are you sure?

4. Freepers are now in a state of shock

They had 400 on their side, we had 100,000 on our side. No, freepers are not worldly. They smugly sit in their red zones and think the rest of the country/world thinks as they do. They got smacked this weekend with reality.

7. Reminds me of Rush's stint as a Football Analyst

He was quickly booted out because he didn't realize that his Racist diatribes wouldn't play well with the American public like it does with his beloved dittoheads.

8. Actually,

Our numbers were between 300,000 and 600,000.

5. Pathetic bromides from an uniformed nitwit bush supporter.

That probably buys all her goods from walmart made in that bastion of liberty, China.

9. Ok, I'll thank a soldier, then I'll protest.

What's the problem? :shrug:

10. A soldier has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in order to

secure those rights.

How do I know? Smedley Butler told me so.

" I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we'll fight. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag."

11. Hey Freeper, thank ME then, I was a soldier for 8 years.

So what's your point?

12. A better response: "War is a racket"

[kiki]

13. Yes indeed...

...the only time right-wingers mention the importance of freedom of speech is when they're trying to tell someone to shut up...

A good response (that I read in a DU post a while ago) when they say "You wouldn't be able to speak out if you lived in Nazi Germany or Saddam's Iraq", is to ask them what they would be doing if they lived under either of those regimes - presumably telling people not to speak out, judging by their behaviour within so-called "free" societies.

14. I like to remind them

that the Constitution guarantees my rights. Since they seem to have a problem with free speech, they can always move to a country that has none.

15. Great response! nt
