Answer 1

I've been hearing more soldiers than not speaking of the war as if it's going better than politicians are led to believe.

God bless the man.

Answer 2

I particularly liked the heroic music. You can always spot propoganda by the music.

No, the mission was not clearly defined.

The most fascist, un-American thing I see on the landscape is the accusations by Conservatives that anti-war people are traitors. HOW IN THE F*CK CAN YOU CALL US A FREE DEMOCRACY IF EXERCISING YOUR FREE SPEECH EQUATES TO BEING A TRAITOR? I personally think that many of the anti-war people are a little extreme, but so are the pro-war people. It is not traitorous to want to stop a war, it is not traitorous call a president an idiot, and it is not traitorous to say that the govenment is screwing up. The Constitution anticipated that presidents will be idiots and has impeachment for just such cases. How do you think that you can impeach a president if you aren't allowed to publicly disagree with him?

Do you really think you can trust Bush that much? Good God, the freedoms he's violating are ultimately just as important to the rabid conservative as they are to the rabid liberal. It's incredibly short-sighted and self-serving of the Cons to go along with a restriction of our freedoms just because it supports their cause TODAY.

Answer 3

Yes it's gut wrenching for our military.I have never said our military has failed.THEY have not failed.They have done there job and done it well.Our GOVERNMENT has failed our troops.From placing them in this situatiion to not taking care of them on their return.Our GOVERNMENT is the one who failed to have a plan for Iraq that was viable for the Iraqi whose country it is.Our entire country is to blame for this mess.We have placed our military in a situation that IS gut wrenching.Why do you think so many have problems upon return?It's the radicals on both sides of the fence.The ones who say stay the course and the ones who say our military has failed.Our miltary have done their job they can't do anymore and this is what they need to know.They served with dignity and they WON their battle.Now what happens in Iraq is up to the Iraqi.Don't you think they will really feel like losers if we leave them in for another 5 or 6 years fighting a civil war they have no control over and THEN bring them home?THEY have shed blood THEY have watched their friends and brothers die.I know first hand how military feels about the garbage going on.I have 2 sons have, and are serving there.I see how torn they are.I see how this war has affected them.I see how they are getting the impression they have failed when there is no way to WIN this current civil war.They ARE winners.Time to come home to victory rather than wait for more to die and feel they've come home to defeat.

Answer 4

Do you want a serious answer? All right. They are not for real, meaning that they live in a fantasy world. But, and this is the serious part, they are scary and very dangerous and mean you no good.
After many years of trying to understand what they say and do, I have given up. They cannot be understood.

Answer 5

I notice your "unbiased sources". Jingoists seem to think the way you do. Here is a couple of quotes from some people you and your kind seem to worship:

Hermann Goering, second in command of the Third Reich and key founder of the Nazi party, said; “Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger”.

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic, and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the state to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
__Josef Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda

Finally lets see what others, reaL heroes, have to say about patriotism.

“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government — lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.” — Patrick Henry

Quotes regarding Patriotism
"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else"
- Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States

Ben Franklin quote
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

The death of democracy is not likely to be an assassination from ambush. It will be a slow extinction from apathy, indifference, and undernourishment.
Robert Hutchins - Great Books, 1954

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)

Edward Abbey, Patriotism quotes:
A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.

Declaration of Independence, Patriotism quotes:
But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.

Dwight D. Eisenhower, Patriotism quotes:
Here in America we are descended in spirit from revolutionaries and rebels -- men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine.

Thomas Jefferson, Patriotism quotes:
God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ... And what country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.

Sidney Hook, Patriotism quotes:
To silence criticism is to silence freedom.
