Do you know about the massive War Protest in L.A. on March 17??

Question

According to Donald Rumsfield, the failure to support illegal, immoral and unnecessary wars defines one as a terrorist. Let me be clear about where I stand: I know who the real terrorists are, and can name each one of them... Bush among the rest.

Everywhere you go in America you see the slogan, “Support our troops.” You see it on bumper stickers, flags and banners, yellow ribbons . But what does it mean to support our troops? Is it to send them into harm’s way; to invade and occupy sovereign nations in illegal wars for empire? Is it to ask them to commit heinous crimes, to insult, and to humiliate people who have done us no harm? Is it to steal the natural wealth & resources that belongs to other nations and turn it over to American corporations?

If that is what it means, then I cannot support our troops. I cannot wish them well if their purpose is to conquer other people, and plunder the wealth of other countries that have done us no harm. That would require me to endorse crimes against humanity conducted under the guise of national security and patriotism. I cannot do that...I will not. It is simply wrong.

Neither should we confuse supporting our troops with supporting the President, or wrongful and immoral policies of corrupt government. The president and his ilk do not support our troops or he would not use them as pawns; he would take care of them when they come home broken and torn with psychic scars. He does not care about them...they are only a means to an end.

The best way to support our troops is to take a principled stand; to hold the moral high ground to bring them home alive and whole. A government must not be allowed to require any of its citizens to engage in immoral or criminal behavior on its behalf. When a government behaves like a crime syndicate it does not mean that the people should follow its example. They must provide a better alternative, and refuse their allegiance to it.

So if the failure to support a government’s wrongful policies makes me a terrorist so be it. If speaking truth to power makes one a terrorist sign me up! If exposing the lies and corruption makes me a terrorist... I will proudly wear the crown and bear the cost.

Answer 1

I am a pro-gun Catholic extremely conservative Pro-Life military injured veteran being treated by the VA. yes God-Fearing conservatives such myself hate nazi dictator bush jr worse than bin laden because he lied about the nuclear threat and outed a cia agent. nazi dictator bush jr murdered over 655,000 innocent iraqies and over 3500 of my fellow soldiers. yes conservatives hate nazis. we stood against nazis before and we stand against them now. bush jr let bin laden go bush jr personally profited from bin laden's family via his oil company arbusto spanish for bush jr lies. God Please Bless America and get rid of our 1st nazi dictator bush jr and all his satan worshipping minions. anybody that could possibly support bush jr laden needs to get their soul cleansed with the blood of Jesus Christ NOW! ex-repugnican. Of course bush jr lied and he will continue to lie. Iran has the 3rd largest oil reserve in the world Darfur, Sudan does not. Will jr stop the genocide or get Iran's oil? Of course he can be impeached but the major media is afraid that if they tell the entire truth about bush jr that they will lose money and their reputation. Congress needs the media to tell the truth. They are starting to in small does. I have met Cindy Sheehan. She is simply a wonderful and brave American. God Bless her.

Answer 2

Do you have an actual question or is this just another one of your ill informed rants about a subject you only think you know about. And yes you are entitled to your opinion...even your attack that President Bush is a terrorist. Do you realize that it is a federal crime to make false statements against the President? That makes YOU a terrorist in my book. You use all the tired slogans of the far let and failed political regimes. You sound like some kid that has no experience living in the real world...only spouting what some liberal teacher has spoon fed you in school.

And you are one off those lame a$$ people that claims to support the troops but only if the troops meet with your approval. Perhaps when you grow up, have served your country and have actually been to Iraq and have seen the dedication our troops have to their country...which you sorely lack...you'll actually be capable of forming your own opinions and not be just another lemming following others. And as for your willingness to be labeled a terrorist....add traitor to your resume and life goals.

And to answer your alleged question regarding a war protest in LA... how can you possibly know it is going to be "massive"? Are you psychic? Or are you just trying to convince yourself that your view point has any legitimacy?

Answer 3

Boy are you long winded. Why do you live here if you are so unhappy. I fought in 2 wars (was wounded in 1 at 18) but if I had the choose of serving again I would do it in a heart beat.So you say BUSH is a terrorist. HOW do you come by that. Is it because he is fighting them there instead of Boston , New York or LA? as A soldier of combat i went where I was told & did what I was told to do. This is not like private industrie, you cant quiet & go some where else that you like better. This is a volunteer military & each one knew when they signed on the dotted line it meant going to wAR. i am proud of each one of them. This is the greatest country on the faced of the earth& it is those same troops you chose not to support that make it that way.

Answer 4

Bush is a terrorists? fairly? he isn't the only that flew planes into our homes, or bombed our embassies, or bombed our united statesCole. he isn't the only that chops off peoples heads. Our troops volunteered to bypass whilst, and the place called. it fairly is their interest, and President Bush is their Commader In chief. unlawful conflict? fairly? it fairly is breaking information to me. Bush hasn't been mentioned on any quotes, and scores of Dems voted for this conflict, so as meaning the conflict became completely criminal. Sovereign united states? fairly? Saddam raped, tortured, and murdered his human beings, and dumped them like canine in mass graves! Giving them the main appropriate to vote for their own government is humilating them? And what became Saddam doing whilst the raped, tortured, and murdered them? i assume you think of he became a actual arise guy? Stealing their organic materials? LOL, do you surely think of Saddam gave them something, or enable them to earnings from the oil? on no account. particularly, he enable them to starve whilst he lived in mansions throughout Iraq. No. you do not help our troops. you're calling them stupid once you assert that they have got not any strategies of their own. once you call them terrorists, nicely, it fairly is plan to work out which you despise them. Our purpose because of the fact the wonderful united states interior the international is to maintain it that way by potential of preserving the voters risk-free! that's what the interest of the President is, and he's finished an stunning interest at it. he's a hero in my e book. With all due appreciate, your reason makes no in view that in any respect. You despise the troops, call them stupid, call them terrorists, yet uphold an evil guy like Saddam. you will call our President a terrorist, yet fail to be outraged on the brutal, previous brutal atrocities Saddam thrust upon his own human beings.
