BUT, only people that have served, the hawks, should be able to use the chickenhawk slur. Note, however, the slur would die quickly if that were the only application. We are a pragmatic bunch. We understand the “sacrifice the few for the many” statement and, face it, we volunteered to be “the few.”

Oh, and only those serving in a current operation can use it as well. We will call that the “Kerry Clause.”

Please disseminate.

Who knows, maybe the son joined up to get away from Mom.

I’ve always suspected that was true of Jihad Cindy Sheehan’s son. Which may be one of the root causes of her nuttiness, she feels she drove him into the military and he got killed, so the guilt has metastasized into this “it’s Bush’s fault!” mental illness she suffers from.

But this is a voluntary military, no one dragged anyone off the back porch and shipped him or her to boot camp.

We are in Iraq to fight terrorists and help stabilize a strategic country vital to our national security. And as far as people trying to kill our men, it seems to me that most of the victims are innocent civilians who Harto wants us to abandon to genocide.

So much for moral authority. I am childless, but I have had relatives join and serve in Iraq.

IUD – inter-uterine device, a form of birth control Harto’s mom wishes she used.

I was gonna ask if anyone knew why “Harto” was referring to an intrauterine device.

Sev that probably isn’t true, otherwise she wouldn’t have this wonderful Grandchild that she can be so proud of. Who’s heart is to help the people of Iraq become a free people.

True, you’re right, sometimes a parent has to take the long view on things like this.

Often I despair about the “youth” of today when I see or read about the incredible, immature slackers we seem to be producing. Then I either read, or interact with at work, the young men and women who make up our Armed Forces, and they restore that hope and make me proud. For as bad as the slackers are, the young people I meet in the services are such dedicated professionals, so sharp, so polite, so dedicated to their cause, that they make you have hope for the future. It amazes me we can still produce people like this, our future depends on it. That’s why, despite the whining of folks like Harto, who seem to think that only they care about troop casualties, I and people like me deeply feel the loss of each and every one of our noble troops. They represent the best of us, sacrificing so that liberal slackers can sit in their local Starbucks whining about everything this country does. The left only cares about their losses as a means to an end, the right cares deeply about the people themselves, but also realizes there are things worth the sacrifice, no matter how hard it is.

Our Founding Fathers Never would have used such guilt to shut up their opposition. Many of them sacrificed all and more so that we could be a free people. Millions upon Millions of people have come here to this country so that they too might be free. Many went back to their homelands to export the ideas of this Republic of our Founding Fathers. I thank God everyday for their sacrifice, and I thank God everyday for the Men and Women with the Honor, and Courage to Sacrifice all for the Free People of Iraq. Lord We just ask You to Bless them. – Lorica

Props to GWR.

By the way, does anyone know whether this Harto actually has a son in the service?

Why, are you implying that a moonbat like Harto would actually lie?!?! Heaven forbid the thought!

If he/she/it does, their son must be ashamed of them, and must have enlisted just to get the hell away from their moonbat parents. Hence the conflicted love/hate relationship where Harto insists that an idiot posting that his/her/its son is a war criminal must be accurate.

A couple of years ago I Had to leave my mailbox door open, or open it with a long pole. Why? Some sicko with an agenda was planting bombs in our mailboxes. A route carrier and a couple of civilians were hurt when the bombs planted in their mailboxes went off when they opened the mailbox door.

The perp was a college kid who went off the deep end, but he was spouting the same crap as Harto and a number of the leftwing visitors here. Who says AlQaeda couldn’t do the same?

It’s clear you have absolutely no conception of who or what we’re fighting. Try this on: we’re in a war against a cult of fanatics with a 7th-century mentality who will not be satisfied until their ideal of a caliphate is realized. Anyone who isn’t on board with that dream is to be killed. Try wrapping your brain around that: they don’t just want me, or ST, or Ryan, or Bak, or CZ, or Steve dead. They want YOU dead. They don’t care if you voted for Kerry, helped ACORN file fake voter registrations, drive a Prius, or donate to PETA. Or even if you’re gay. They want you DEAD. Especially if you’re gay, I might add.

So the question is, what part of all that is so hard for you to understand? Because clearly you can’t grasp it.

All of which means that right now the only thing keeping the head-choppers away from me and you are a few thousand young Americans of tremendous courage, skill and professionalism. They’re engaging that enemy in a barren environment where they can get shot at any time, while people like you don’t even want them to return fire without checking with a lawyer first. Worse, you’re happy to see lies like the garbage TNR published, lies that defame them. Gotta wonder why that is.

Do you really think there’s nothing here worth preserving? Is that why you’re willing to concede this war?
Whether it’s that, or just pure hysterical hatred, that cause people like you and Beauchamp to spew your poison, I don’t know, and I don’t care.

You don’t wish to fight against this? No sweat. Better men than you are willing to fight for your right to be craven in the face of threats.

But in one very real sense, all of us are on the front lines in this war. AQ knows that their only chance to win this conflict is for us to give up. That’s our potential weak point. They can’t match us economically, militarily, or socially. Their only chance is to convince us to commit suicide. And you’re more than happy to do it – my guess is that you’ll do it just for some fleeting taste of power for your party. Pathetic.
