46. We are all murderers because we pay for it and we don't stop it.
If you assist a murderer in any way then you are equally guilty!

28. That it is. I had heard the wording before and even used it on an inter-office posting.
I was quietly asked to remove it, which I did. This man's courage is wonderful. He is truly a Patriot.

Edited on Sat Aug-18-07 08:52 AM by defendandprotect
Unbelievable loss of innocent lives and the torturing of our troops --
the breaking of our military.

And, an American public evidently still suffering "shock and awe" -- unable to stop Bush -- ????

And a brave, brave young soldier --

56. Bush is a mass murderer and a madman
and he's totally out of control. The Democrats horrify me. They are complicit. They were voted in to stop him and they are aiding and abetting.

62. Agree. Internet is invaluable tool, but question ALL the energy going to posting responses . . ..
though it is our new opportunity to understand fellow Americans and I can feel the need for it.
What to do . . . . the constant question.
Continue to try to wake up other citizens.
But, I was wondering about getting back to the idea of a shadow government;
perhaps private citizens sponsoring hearings/legal discussions on impeachment ahead of
Conyers/Pelosi -- enlisting the aid of investigative reporters/lawyers, etc???

Locally, citizens are very quick to come out when their financial interests are being harmed by Town Councils, etc . . . but very slow to connect local politics to what eventually happens in DC.

I'm fearing totally understanding what Germany citizens may have gone thru in waiting too long to try to stop fascism --

52. remember that quote at the next sporting event where they
haul out those obscene ginormous flags. went to a baseball game on the 4th of july, and that was all i could think of as the paraded the sailors, and other service members and their families around the field and then dragged out a flag that almost covered the field. :puke:

Maybe it's the courageous/disgusted look in the soldier's face.

BTW, is there something wrong with his left leg???
