"I went past the courthouse in West Chester on Aug. 13 and there were people protesting the war. Good, that is their right. But what gave them that right? The answer is war. We sure didn't negotiate with the British to gain our independence. A lot of good men died to give us the country we now call the United States of America and the freedom of speech we enjoy.

Also, a lot of good men died in many wars to keep our freedom and protect our rights. These people are heroes protecting the USA and our way of life as Americans.

Yes, we are protesting a very unpopular war, but we were attacked first without warning. Like an insect invasion on your house, we are being invaded and attacked. What do you do? You squash the bug. Well if you don't put your foot down all the way, the bug gets away and tells the other little bugs how he got over and they all unite.

You now have a world war on your hands. If you had put your foot down and squashed the bug, all the other little bugs go hide in the woodwork scared and confused.

So, let's squash one bug at a time and finish the job or we may end up in a world war we don't want to be in.

1. That is one confused individual. I guess he still believes Iraq was connected to 9-11

[RC]

2. This sounds like something from

rightwingnutzjob.com or some such. War is never a good thing. It is a breakdown of civilization.
BTY, we were not attack first on 9/11. It was blow back, even planed blow back by our wonderful neocons criminals. That and all of our meddling in the internal affairs of other countries. No way were we attacked first.

3. I squished a centipede in my kitchen yesterday. Fortunately,

my action did not result in the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent civilians and thousands of US soldiers.

Someone should ask Harold how many Iraqis were among the 9-11 hijackers and just how the country of Iraq was planning to take away the free speech of Americans? Harold could save himself the effort of writing a LTTE and just get "I AM STUPID" tattooed across his forehead.

4. Fear Fear Fear...Just Like A Scared Elephant....

...trying to squash fire ants. These sheeple have been been fed an endless stream of hatred...xenophobia, racism, elitism and total bullshit...much of it from their hate radio that they see the world as black and white (literally). They need absolutes...the prime ingredient in the fascist world they've been conditioned to like little children and it's easier to deal with simple answers to complex questions.

These people disdain education as they've been conditioned (like animals) to view critical thinking and free will as something to be feared. They prefer to be blissfully ignorant (which the power elite is glad to cater to)...vieweing those who are educated and enlightened as a threat. My bets many of these losers were C students or less in school and grew up resenting the "cool" kids.

It's a lot easier to believe in simple answers and to do as told...it also absolves them of any personal responsibility...totally trusting of those who use them...and they're blissfully ignorant in ever questioning. Above all, it's an indictment of a society that has grown to view education as a liability...and used by the elite as pawns to maintain their power.

5. The Revolution wasn't fought to give 'Americans' the right to protest. The Bill of Rights came

into being many years later through the ideas of enlightened men like Thomas Jefferson.

6. "The answer is war."

Sounds like the McSame constituency.

[radfringe]

7. Iraq must be a big bug... after 5 years we still haven't squished it...

[The Stranger]

8. No goverment -- and no government's army -- can ever give you rights -- only take them away.

Harold E. Bell, Jr. is an imbecile.

[Swede]

9. Perhaps he'd enjoy another nice refreshing huge glass of koolaid.

Or kookaid.

[denverbill]

10. OK. But why are we running around the woods squishing bugs instead of protecting our house then?

If we've got bugs in our house, is probably because we were wandering around killing trying to kill every bug in the forest and some latched onto us and got carried back into our house.


It's much easier to just guard your own house against bugs than it is to try to wander around the entire world rooting out and killing every insect you find.
