[AmericanPatriot333]

Usually in war killing is involved. Its just the way it is. Ever since man was created until now! WAR= Killing, its unfortunate but thats what happens!

[R3APERRANGER]

I think if they got the drum and bugel corps out there that would be neat

[cplwoodsusmc]

Dammit, and just when I thought berkley was beyond salvation.

Michellesfchick: I am a drag queen who picks on those who pick on our soldiers - namely haters from Westboro. I know I don't have all the rights that I ought to have, and I know that many straights treat drag queens nicer than gays do, but I AM grateful for the rights I do have. I make videos that support our country. I support PGR and the troops. I gain no friends in the gay world by being patriotic, but honey, my dad flew for the Aussies in WWII, so I have no choice!

michellesfchick: There would be no social programs w/out the military protecting you and all of us. I guess it was just a fluke that Pearl Harbor was bombed and the attack of 9/11 and other attacks at US Embassy. Go live on an island somewhere if you don't like the military.

Great job protesters! Guess the pinko maggots scurried away. They were real tough trying to keep people out of the center when they outnumbered potential recruits 10 to 1. The only brave haters there were a couple of rotting, stringy haired humans, sex unknown, who could barely mouth a coherent sentence. Good work. Thanks.

[michellesfchick]

pro troop protest or not, most Americans oppose the war.

[StoogeWatcher]

But SMART American oppose those who slander the military.

[michellesfchick]

I oppose the entire military, i want it abolished, i don't want people to kill in my name. And the money we spend on the military should be spent on social programs.

[StoogeWatcher]

I could only envision whose side you would have been on during WWII.

[paulgeneral]

Si have you wriiten to your congressman to amend the Constitution so that Congress will no longer be REQUIRED to fund the military, like they are now?

On the other hand, if you hate America so much, you can always move to cuba!

[StoogeWatcher]

Don't like the military, hippie? Then the next time there's an earthquake or flood in Berkeley or San Francisco, don't ask the National Guard to help your city out! You would have defended Hitler During WWII!

[claton95]

@StoogeWatcher exactly

[michellesfchick]

I oppose the entire military, i want it abolished, i don't want people to kill in my name, i don't give them a license to kill innocent civilians in my name. I want to spend the money on social programs and not on the military.

[paulgeneral]

And your CONSTITUTIONAL basis for welfare is?

[blogegog]

That's no longer true. Much like at the beginning of the war, most Americans now support us staying there until the job is done and the Iraqis can live in a peaceful democracy.

[michellesfchick]

wrong, most americans think the war was wrong, and that it is not wortj is, was on a CNN poll

[blogegog]

Agreed, most now think the war WAS wrong. Hindsight 20/20 I guess. But most also now think we should stay there until peace can be ensured there. The majority of Americans is once again supportive of the troops completing their mission. Also from a CNN poll.

[KafirAlalazoo]

Most Americans also think we found no WMD in Iraq, but they are wrong about that, too.

Perhaps you need to turn off CNN, stop putting so much stock in polls, and learn what's really going on in the world.

According to you, you like social programs, yet you refuse to defend the nation that provides them (or have it defended "in your name").

There is a word for this:

Parasite.

[Glyvxx]

The war is wrong in my opinion.

However, the military is a job and if your truely a liberal you will know that they could easily turn around and start protesting Pegasus books or somewhere in Berkeley for selling porno.

Its a reminder that liberty goes both ways...People should be allowed to join the military if they choose.

But I am with the Vets here..My uncle died in Nam, while the hippies(now boomer piece of shits) fucked up society.

Think about that.

[paulgeneral]

So glix, if wars are so bad, then WHERE was your oputrage when your draft-dodging, pot-smoking, womanizing bddy cliton sent troops to fight wars to couyntries that NEVER attacked up, like Bosnia and Somalia?

[paulgeneral]

Amen to that!

[paulgeneral]

Really????

Then WHY do I get thanked on a regular basis for my service in Iraq?
