Thats a fine father there We have a great future generation if we make it that far

Does anyone else find this a little twisted?
Quoted from Article:
Bush supporter Michael Cassidy of Meridian, Texas, dressed his son Danny in fatigues and gave him a plastic M-16.
"He wants to be a Marine," Cassidy said of his 7-year-old son, who was holding a sign that read "We are not Afraid."
I guess your never to young to be indoctrinated to join the ranks of America's cannon fodder.
Well I guess some one has to fight the future wars this guy starts but won't fight.

You deliberately avoid these facts, why don't you try confronting the truth for once?

I don't believe in nobility, righteousness, good, justice, etc to the same degree that most people do. They are ideals. They are not perfectly attainable. They are partially obtainable, and it's adiviseable to obtain as much of them as you can, AFTER providing for your survival. "

What would you do to me if i tricked your son into killing a person and he ends up paying for that mistake with his life? I told him that this person was going to kill his dad. He kills the guy, gets caught and is sentenced to death all because of a lie. It turns out that this guy was my business partner and i had a fat insurance policy on him and i made a lot of money and got away free. Are you telling me you would pat me on the back and say "Nice one dude"?
Originally posted by TruthWithinMy point is that she has a right to be there and she feels betrayed. Is that OK for someone to sort their anguish out in the best way they know how, or will you sit and hide behind your facade of a$$ kicker extrodanaire and call people tulip walkers if they disagree with you?
Originally posted by cargo But I am in no position to judge this woman who lost her son to a war. Are you?

And just becuase someone doesnt agree with me, do they become a tulipwalker, its when they meet these criteria that they get the title!
tulipwalker
A single grouping of leftist, liberal, communist, pinko, enviro-nazi tree hugging, anti-American peace nicks.
"Those tulipwalkers are at it again, protesting the war, even at the cost of more hatred, putting American lives at greater risk."
If the label fits, plant a tree!
Originally posted by NinjaCodeMonkeyVagabond's remarks support everything i said, our government had other reasons for invading Iraq. We can argue all day about the sense of these reasons but you cannot deny that the invasion was based on lies.
