great post TLC its about defending freedom....... >I should mention all the rest of the people that have died in military operations, or as a direct result of military operations, defending the United States.< YITZHAK RABIN Born: 1 Mar. 1922 Died: 4 Nov. 1995 Age: 73 'For Israel, there is no path that is without pain. But the path of peace is preferable to the path of war. I say this to you as one who was a military man, someone who is today Minister of Defense and sees the pain of the families of the IDF soldiers. For them, for our children, in my case for our grandchildren, I want this Government to exhaust every opening, every possibility, to promote and achieve a comprehensive peace.' -- Yitzhak Rabin

"One last thing - stop calling this country "Amerkia". I'll send the next one to the FBI and let them run the lead down." Good one, so much for freedom of speech. I had relatives living in one of the Soviet republics, and they told me that passing the "lead" on was a very popular thing to do there for many people like yourself.

I have often wanted to tell him what a cowardly goatf*^king POS he is, but just couldn't seem to come up with the right words. Thank you very much for your eloquence. The fact that I was in the military to defend some POS's right to be a traitor is offensive to me to say the least. Thank you again.

Here ya go Herr Huhn... "God Bless Amerika" And here's the URL so you can "report" me... fbi.gov Nice stories Chicky. Maybe I should relate my mom's stories about leaving Berlin in '38 or her friends escape after losing both parents in '39. Believe me, for many years I've heard the warnings, but I never quite believed the stories about how Nazi Germany began and how the same thing can happen here. Guess what Chicken? Mom's right. Mom is 100% right The experience of Nazi Germany can indeed spring up right here in the ol' US of A. And it's starting right here, right now with clowns, albeit dangerous clowns, like just like yourself. Keep waving that flag! You, after all, represent THE TRUE PATRIOTS! The FREEDOM FIGHTERS! THE GOOD AMERIKANS! Search out those who do not BELONG! CLEANSE the NATION of those WHO DO NOT SHARE YOUR VIEWS! YOU ARE THE RIGHTEOUS ONE! "God Bless Amerika" Here's the address if you missed it the first time... fbi.gov "What you don't have the right to do is contribute to the enemy. When wars happen, that kind of stuff turns illegal." "Decide right now whose side of this you are on" "God Bless Amerika" "If you fail to understand why, you'll find out shortly after your body stops breathing regularly for about a half an hour, and you can take that to the friggin' bank, bud. No lie." "You're just a damned coward and you don't know it." "God Bless Amerika" Kinda fits right in there this time, doesn't it Chicken?

Americans ponder true meaning of patriotism WAVING THE FLAG: Since the terrorist strikes on Sept. 11, many Americans have been unashamedly nationalistic and those who don't play along may face an angry backlash. AP WASHINGTON Uneasy with America's flag-waving fervor? Button up or risk being ostracized. Expressions of patriotism are so fervent since the terrorist attacks that citizens who do or say anything against the tide risk suffering a public backlash. After getting an earful from angry residents, school superintendent Louis Ripatrazone in Roxbury, New Jersey, rescinded his order to remove "God Bless America" from school signs. He thought a religious reference might be offensive at school. University of Texas professor Robert Jensen received unfriendly e-mails and calls after writing an editorial suggesting that the attacks were "no more despicable than the massive acts of terrorism" committed by the US. University president Larry Faulkner dismissed suggestions that Jensen be fired, but called his views a "fountain of undiluted foolishness." Peace activists in Buffalo, New York, say they were labeled "un-American" and "crazy communists" by hecklers. Since thousands died in the Sept. 11 suicide crashes in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania, some Americans have been pondering what it means to be patriotic. Is it unpatriotic to sell stocks? Is it wrong to flip the channel when God Bless America, not Take Me Out to the Ballgame, is sung in the seventh-inning stretch? Is it un-American to criticize US President George W. Bush? When it comes to being patriotic, "a lot of people are willing to talk the talk," says sociology professor Charles Moskos of Northwestern University. "But if you really want to walk the walk, then donate blood or enlist in the military." On the other hand, Moskos says it's not unpatriotic to openly disagree with the president, refrain from flying the flag or sell stocks in a down market. If I sold the stocks and sent the money out of the country, that would be unpatriotic," he adds. And switching TV channels? "What's patriotic about watching flag-waving while God Bless America is being sung?" Moskos asks. "A lot of this is make-believe patriotism -- patriotism on the cheap." Some have chosen to see the attacks on a more global level. At a mosque on Chicago's northwest side, Jews, Muslims and Christians prayed together and sang for peace. Some carried handwritten signs of unity, including one that read "Shalom, Salaam, Peace." But the American flag was nowhere to be found. "This was not just an assault on Americans -- but an assault on the whole world," says Amanda Klonsky, a community organizer with the Jewish Council on Urban Affairs. The group is helping organize "prayer circles" in and outside Chicago area mosques. "We need to start thinking of ourselves as an international family," Klonsky said.

"My guess is that you want to make some sort of analogy between the United States and Nazi Germany - so permit me to answer to that as well." Herr Hun, you didn't answer it, you re-enforced it.
