And God help the perpetrators, because they'd need it if I ever found them too. <br /><br />What sad pathetic people who would do such a thing. If you want to oppose the war fine. We'll debate it like rational people. But those who insult or attack our soldiers or their families are beyond the pale. <br /><br />Experience shows me that any organization that has "peace" in it's name is left wing almost by definition. Like you, I suspect, I can spot these leftie groups a mile away.Tom the Redhunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01989584196825992054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152221.post-1095853391346151002004-09-22T06:43:00.000-05:002004-09-22T06:43:00.000-05:00Kat, The disrespect of the fallen soldier's famil...Kat, The disrespect of the fallen soldier's family is a horrid story. I thought through Vietnam we had learned to protest the action of war while honoring those willing to fight for our country's policy. <br />I hate this war! My son spent 16 months there in a humvee. He also was decorated and brought all eight of his guys home. He'll probably go again after Jan 1. But he hates this war! He will fight it, but believes its pointless and is weakening the U.S. in the world. Disagreement with our government is our perogative, no OUR DUTY, as Americans. Patriotism is not determined by political party. Michael Moore's radical film does not represent all or even a majority, of democrats. I would not believe that a single Republican radical making nonsensical charges, such as Ann Coulter or Tucker Carlson, represents the entire party.<br />We should be able to disagree respectfully in America. Those of both parties serve. Those of both parties love our country and way of life. <br />BTW: As a lifelong Democrat, I would (and have) vote Republican, if a thoughtful, tolerant, moderate candidate appears...like a John McCain or Colin Powell. But four more years of lies like WMDs and imminent threats, followed by proclamations of false victory, rationalization and fear mongering, scares the hell out of me!<br />Peace to you<br />Peg<br />gartz-peg@att.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
