1. I knew what this was before I clicked the link.

God bless the men and women who gave their lives for this lie. Their blood is on George Bush's hands, and he will have to explain to his maker for each and every one of them.

He'll have lots of friends in hell to socialize with.

2. I state for all to see: You'll forget him by the end.

This post will not draw many comments because, most Americans don't care (most DUers do) or don't knopw what to do in the face of this monstrous Regime and everyone wants to comment about Ann Coulter. Which is exactly what the Regime wants.

Don't focus on the caskets and limbless guys coming back, get Coulter out there to say something absoultely ridiculous. (Men who have sexual encounters with women are latent homosexuals)??? And it will take focus off Iraq and Afghanistan.

No one really cares about the troops...

4. April 18th 2006- the number was 2377

That's the day I did a group sit in in my congressman's
office. We were arrested. Soon after he invited us
to his office for some 'face time' only to try to
appease us. He told us it was hard to do anything in
the republican controlled legislature. I begged him
to ask members to chain themselves to desks in their
chambers.

3 months later, 200 more soldiers have died, as well
as countless tens of thousands innocent Iraqi's.
The majority of Americans want our troops home now!
But not one thing has happened in congress to show
they understand what the people want. They as
a body are useless.

The number of avoidable tragedies from firearms is a global tragedy, gun violence, military
aggression and gun crime is even worse when you consider the vast majorty will die stateside
uncelebrated, with no flag draped coffin, just another one shot dead.
