Dead Americans in Iraq make free republic members happy

[BOSSHOG]

There is no other way to state it. They are rallying around bush and his policies. The only policy bush has is get American kids killed. We are not fighting terrorism in Iraq. Conservatives in America are enabling bush to not say he is wrong. Meanwhile more American kids are dying and free republic members, with their flags and magnets are happy.

I got 24 years in uniform under my belt and bush, supported by conservatives, is fucking our military, destroying it and doing one helluva fine job of crippling our economy.

I consider conservatives the number one domestic enemy of our constitution.

Their ignorance begats their arrogance and their pride makes them blind to reality. Meanwhile more American kids are dying and free republic members are happy. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO STATE IT.

2. It Makes Them Feel in Control of Something and ...

somebody. They feel they are essentially running this war, but in essence they are just cheerleaders. This makes them feel important.

Ever see how engaded some sports fans are! However are they daring enough to get involved? Nope!


CHICKENHAWKS!

3. The dying soldiers

means, to them, that THEY are safe. They are not likely to volunteer for the military- they just want you to take care of things. They are inherently selfish and seem to think they should be entitled to having everyone sacrifice-except them.

BTW, thank you for your service to your country.

4. You are very welcome Teammate!

The memories of my time in uniform are a great source of pride to me. I was given the opportunity and privilege to serve and lived through it. I do not like bringing it up but conservatives have forced my hand. I find myself often using the VET card and not regretting it. I've been called a coward one too many times. On two occasions I was told to "go join the Army and fight for the country you obviously hate." The retirees id card and my tour of duty in a combat zone is nothing I like to publicize but when chatting with a conservative they are bricks of gold.

8. they see the troops in Iraq as bait, keeping war far away.

The freepers say, "Hey, terrorists, why come to america to attack us freepers when there's a war right in your neighborhood? Go get em! And to make it easier, they are too few of them!"

5. I think instead of anti-war

protests we should have save the soldier protests.Use the repug tactic and just change the name.

6. Freeps Have Been Reduced To Mere Apologists

I wonder if they'd have ever thought that someday the role they'd have to play in the so-called conservative revolution would be as apologists for the many grim failures of the endlessly profligate Kennebunkport Cowboy.

And now Bush has set aside 5 days to make speeches defending his criminally negligent actions in Iraq? Touching that he actually thinks people will still believe him.

Wait'll he discovers that those days are now in the past.
