But I fail to see how people vandalizing Fox News provides any kind of substantiation for such a dubious claim such as "anti-American" or "anti-military". The point is, in 30 years of my political activity, I have seen/ directly observed the LEFT, the so-called Progressives, liberals, socialists, communists and anarchists (of course) causing mayhem and destruction to personal, corporate and public property... civil discourse and diplomacy, HA! They can't do it at home so how in the world could the do it abroad without signing away our national sovereignty!? In fact, I've seen many veterans (many of which veterans who have returned from Afghanistan or Iraq) involved in left-wing peace organizations, and they tend to be the most involved. In-Fact, those numbers are miniscule compared to the veterans and active duty who are FAR from center on the issues of the day concerning the battle in the Middle east and around the globe! AND I am one of the number... Since 1985 I have been in and out of the Middle East/North Africa and Central & Eastern Europe... tyranny, communism and socialism reign... thugs galore, gangs/mafia, human trafficing/slave trade, black market....
Calling ANSWER communist just shows your ignorance of the left. My ignorance of the LEFT... thats a bold statement when you know me not! I have pulled down their posters of so-called troop support from around our base perimeter at least 6-7 times in the last 18 months... and theirs was one among them which even had a LISTING at the bottom of supporting organizations... there must have been at least 10 communist/socialist/anarchy type Orgs on it!! You might get away with socialist, as many of their leaders and organizers are self-described socialists, but the general population of such protests generally constitute a broader microcosm of the American political scene, united only by the common interest of ending the war. The only major anti-war organizations that were primarily organized by communists that I know of is Not in Our Name and perhaps the more popular World Can't Wait. I've seen all three and marched along side all three (along with countless other groups, ranging from conservatives, to centrists, to anarchists) in Washington as a member of Military Families Speak Out. Not in Our Name and the World Can't Wait were organized mostly by members of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA (perhaps you're familiar with their more well-known youth organization the Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade?); but nonetheless, the people that I've talked with that were rallying with the World Can't Wait were far from communist. Far from Communists... probably true! The real problem is the willingly ignorant fall prey to the emotional trappings of their sentiment and failed premise of government is the answer and should be involved more and more in our daily lives from the New Deal to the Great Society to the present our citizens have been robbed daily to pay for failed government departments which still operate to this day... they have also fallen prey to the real propagandists, NBC, CBS, CNN, ABC, BBC, NPR and PBS!! If we had todays type of support and rhetoric back in 1942 - 45 Japan and Germany would be the reigning tyrannical empires they set out to be with Russia not far behind!!
Not that it should matter anyway. Even if they were, it is their right to be communist and voice their opinions, but I'm sure you knew that already. You're doggone right, its their right to act a fool... to express their IGNORANCE of what this nation is truly about! |
