Posted on July 5, 2011 at 2:53amOur military isn’t fighting for our freedom. I’m so tired of the cliches. It’s nothing but politically correct patriotic propaganda. Wake up sheeple. Wake up soldiers! You’re being used as cannon fodder for the NWO.
Our most pressing threat to our freedoms is our own self serving government. Our charitable, benevolent, holy government IS NOT going to simultaneously protect our freedoms over seas while trashing them here on our own soil.
The military fights terrorists in Afghanistan while supporting them in Libya. Does that make any freaking sense at all!!! Sane thinking soldiers need to defect the military so they can fight for their own country.
THE FOUNDING FATHERS FOUGHT THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT AND THE TORIES LOYAL TO THAT GOVERNMENT. Do you Tea Partiers realize this? Please wake up and stop repeating the broken record cliches.

But the conservative sheeple will want to call you a liberal. All because you don’t swallow the politically correct patriotic propaganda put forth by the nwo elites.

Posted on July 4, 2011 at 11:06pmIts about time to exit the cat-litter box known as the middle east and let those ungrateful bastards kill each other. If we are not going to allow are military to do what they do best, kill bad guys and blow stuff up, and we want to fight a “kinder, gentler war” we are truly lost as a nation. I will gladly pay 10$ a gallon for gasoline if not another dime goes to that part of the world from these United States. We have our own resources. Bring them all home now and close the borders. One more American life isnt worth it.

Posted on July 4, 2011 at 6:40pmI love our troops. I just wish that for a change they would fight for US here in the USA, you know us AMERICANS that live here in North America? They are always out fighting for somebody else’s freedom while we back home go down the drain. We have enemies right here that need to be defeated. If they don’t wake up soon and realize who the real enemy is, they will have nothing to come home to.

Posted on July 4, 2011 at 4:36pmWe have lost the war in Afghanistan not because the Taliban is better but because the US soldiers have to follow rules and regulations formulated by lawyers here in the US. We could easily have won that war if those soldiers did not have to obey “the seven rules of engagement”.
Report Post »Considering the fact that the US has the most advanced weaponry system, including military satellites etc. that war would have ended years ago. Wasted money and wasted souls for a wasted course.

Posted on July 4, 2011 at 2:04pmWhat exactly are we fighting and dying for in Afganistan? To protect a corrupt group of Afgan politicians who stole billions of our tax payer money for their own use. Hamid Karzi has already purchased a million dollar house in London so he can flee the country when the US finally pulls out. Where did he get that kind of money? Again, why are fighting and dying for in Afganistan? War without end.

Posted on July 4, 2011 at 11:24amWhere I reside, it is 10:30am, 4 July 2011. When I played this video, standing at attention facing the flag that is displayed in my home, I wept that it was the first and only time I’d heard our anthem played so far today. What an utter disgrace that the television and radio stations are not playing patriotic songs “into the ground”, just the way they do during that so-called holiday in December when people spend their last dime to buy presents for others — you can’t go anywhere a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving without hearing Christmas songs. Anyone out there remember the way the fascist leaders in Europe during WWII used their countries’ patriotic songs 24 hours a day?
