In case you have never seen this

I have had this e-mail come to me a couple of times and this time I thought I would post it here. If I can't change your mind on supporting the U.S. at least support your troops.

"It is the soldier, not the reporter,
who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet,
who has given us freedom of speech.



It is the soldier, not the campus organizer,
who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier, not the lawyer,
who has given us the right to a fair trial.



It is the soldier,
who salutes the flag,
who serves under the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
who allows the protester to burn the flag."

Only thing about this is I dont know who to give credit to.

But it's the reporter that uses clever words like quagmire....


As long as I breathe I support our troops.

(and if my donation to the local cardinal does what he says, i'll support them long after I stop breathing)

"The military don't start wars. Politicians start wars."
-William Westmoreland

and a personal favorite of mine.

"I once felt all that kind of anger, which a man ought to feel, against the mean principles that are held by the Tories: a noted one, who kept a tavern at Amboy, was standing at his door, with as pretty a child in his hand, about eight or nine years old, as I ever saw, and after speaking his mind as freely as he thought was prudent, finished with this unfatherly expression, "Well! give me peace in my day." Not a man lives on the continent but fully believes that a separation must some time or other finally take place, and a generous parent should have said, "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace;" and this single reflection, well applied, is sufficient to awaken every man to duty.
~ Thomas Paine, a selection from The American Crisis (1780)

( yes i am directing that to any hippies out there who think we should just let things go thier own way. )
