Has everyone forgotten:
[Read the article: Quote of the Day]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Has everyone forgotten? We are all severing as good consumers. As for the soldiers, you volunteered for this. If you don’t believe in it desert. Real heroes follow their beliefs not orders. I am so sick of this mindless bumbersticker support. Dudes, putting a magnet on your car is not supporting anyone, but Wal-Mart and China where the frickin’ things are made.
Mitt’s a waffling jerk that will probably be the next President. Why because Americans have forgotten how to think for themselves. Why, “because it’s too hard” or “I don’t have the time.” We are living the Chinese curse; may you live in interesting times. Behold, we are witnessing the fall of the USA. Why because the citizens are too lazy to save themselves from the corporate takeover of their Country and lives. Maybe Jesus will come to the rescue. After all he’s taken real good care of the lost tribes of Israel in the New World.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Dude will you stop making excesses. And what’s with this quote
“You can't necessarily expect former enlisted to rally to the cause of a former officer running for office. As far as many of them are concerned, officers had the "easy life" and are really not that far removed from civilians.”
If they trust them with their lives in war, Why wouldn’t they trust them to lead their Country. And are you telling me that the enlisted men and women, which happen to be the majority of people serving in the military as you state, hold the civilians in contempt? Well this is good starting point for a dialog.
Before anyone asks. I’d signup tomorrow if I thought it was a war worth fighting. But seeing I’m a college grad. (from a farming family) I’d probably be an officer and therefore not really serving my Country. By the way Captain, do you feel you had or have it easy?

Let's kill the Empire and save the Republic
[Read the article: American empire, going, going ...]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Many of the letters placed here are similar to what I get from friends and family. The left unhappy with Bush, bash any and everything American and the Right feeling they have to defend the President, just as the Dems did for Clinton, declare all dissenters are un-American. And Independents are treated like dumb blondes, good enough to F#*k but don't ask them their opinion.
No one who truly loves being an American and it's Constitution can be happy with where America is heading. So lets all get our heads out of our collective Asses and start talking with one another and stop all this school yard bullshit. Let Common Sense reign or lets just admit the great experiment is over and dissolve the Union.
A shout out to Rambling Rose 22, right-on.

reply to America is not an empire...
[Read the article: American empire, going, going ...]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hey aeschylus,
Did you make that definition up all by yourself. I suggest you get yourself a dictionary and read it. After you look up Empire, try Imperialism.
And what a historian...
"Since 1898, America has done none of these things."
Did you forget Iran, Vietnam, Chile, Guatemala, Nicaragua...etc. America has been forcing It's will on the weak for a long time, just ask a Native American.
Just remember this... "Pay backs a bitch"
Happy Thanksgiving

reply to Anonymous's "Some of you really do hate America."
[Read the article: American empire, going, going ...]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hey Anonymous
Why don't you read my other post before you question my loyalty to this country. Do you have a problem with "you reap what you sow", Do you have the faintest idea of history and it's hauntings. Go right ahead and make up your own realities just like Old "W".
As for glee in the death of America. You got to be kidding, you sound like some freakin' redneck ass spouting some BS like "If you don't like America then leave". Why don't you take on the my augment that America is an Empire?
And This...
"You are free enough to openly express sedition without government reprisal, something not true even in most of Europe."
Your confusing sedition with dissent, just as John Adams did 200 years ago. Did you ever hear of the Haymarket massacre, the Whole freakin' South for somethin' like 300 years, how about the '68 Democratic convention, 2004 RNC convention, do I need to name more? Yeah you we got freedom of speech, but your crazy to think you can use it.
And by the way I don't really think it makes a differance what your sexuality is, it won't change the fact your a hater and uninformed.
If this was a war worth fighting I would join in a hreatbeat just as my grandfathers before me, all the why back to the French and Indian war and before, when they handed out blanket to the Natives.
I got a good book for you Howard Zinn's "A People History of the United States" . Read it then tell me what rights we got.
BTW, I want a strong nation but with some humility and a respect for Law, not a Bully. Cool your jets before you fire off your next post.
Squanto say's "Happy Thanksgivin'", Peace.
