  •  Contemptible, contemptible cowards (4.00 / 42)

    Sooner, I'm not pleased you told them where to go.  I'm angry they were talking that trash in the first place.  

    And I'm angry that you can't yet report them to a recruiting office under the terms of the "Walk The Talk Recruiting Act 2009", which says that any civilians caught bloviating in public about what big war-winning troop-supporting patriots they are can be drafted without delay and sent to the front.

    •  I think (4.00 / 23)

      I'm going to start carrying cards with contact info for the local recruiting office.  "Here you go, call this number right here."

      •  Recruiting office cards & SUV magnets (4.00 / 18)

        That is a great idea, I'm going to do the same, and start putting the recruiting office cards under the windshield wiper of every SUV with a "Support our Troops" magnet.

        Let's see how many of these rich repugs want to go to Iraq and get shot for Bush's cronies to be able to make a fortune on the war and suck up Iraq's oil.

        Call the cowards out!

        •  If you find a Honda Pilot (4.00 / 4)

          With a yellow ribbon bellow the blue star flag and the John Kerry for President bumper sticker that would be mine.

          So don't bother with the flyer, we are already giving.

          Interestingly the yellow ribbon for those who don't remember,  was brought to current popular culture when the Iranians took the hostages. The song was popular and a woman,  Penne Laingen, wife of Acting Ambassador Bruce Laingen (democrat) who was taken hostage with 52 embassy staff members, tied a yellow ribbon around the tree in front of her house near DC. When the current iteration came around she was given a couple of the magnets by her husband. She decided not to put them on as the political climate was such that she felt it was a "pro-Bush message. She kept the ribbons around her trees going and said she was happy with that. Also she added that it means,  "Come Home, We Still Love You." That ribbon was donated to the Library of Congress July 2, 1991.

    •  Contemptible... (4.00 / 5)

      The highlight of the Senate debate yesterday for me (what I saw on CSPAN rerun, anyway), was Patrick Leahy hissing contemptible... CONTEMPTIBLE... talking about the Republican senators.

      The moment was right up there with Joseph Welch.

      I can't expect to live in a democracy if I'm not prepared to do the work of being a citizen.
