Now THIS pisses me off to no end. Be against Bush, be against Cheney, be against whatever. Just don't short change our guys and gals that are doing their job an need help. Nothing like a big middle finger to put the PTA in perspective.
A Seattle high school bars military solicitation, touching off debate over Iraq war and free speech.

That's just peachy, as if recruiters don't already have to work their asses off. I had a coworker that was a recruiter in NorCal, he constantly had threats of violence and death from idiotic liberal parents of kids he contacted. Good thing they are the kind and peaceful types, right?

Wait...I forget this is the same area as UW. Where students attacked and destroyed a recruiter's table..........

"Planned Parenthood, as far as I know, does not advocate or perform illegal acts. The US military does," Mr. Ludwig continued. I'm sorry.... WHAT?!?!?!?! You know....I'm not so sure Mr. Ludwig knows what he's talking about... I know that illegal things have been performed by military personnel before... I mean they are human after all... but as far as I can remember from my time of service, doing illegal things could land you in quite a bit more hot water IN the military than OUT of it... but what the hell do I know, I'm not an "educator". |

No, we are just convincing them that it is a heinous thing to want to do... I think Starship Troopers should be required reading in high school for parents and students... then maybe people will remember what patriotism is and how much better a country is when people believe in it |

F-##K Garfield High. Cut off their funding and tell them to shove it up their ass. I'm so sick of the moonbeam pricks of Seattle. Sorry, next time I won't SUGAR COAT what I really feel.

+1 I agree. Cut them off! It's just another sign of the sad times that we are living in! |

Ah the Berkley of Washington rears it's ugly head. Let's hope planned parenthood is next on the chopping block.

his,
On Thursday, Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colorado, was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful. They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. It needs to be heard by every parent, every teacher, every politician, every sociologist, every psychologist, and every so-called expert! These courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal. There is no doubt that God sent this man as a voice crying in the wilderness. The following is a portion of the transcript: "Since the dawn of creation there has been both good & evil in the hearts of men and women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence. The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must not be in vain. Their blood cries out for answers. "The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out in the field. The villain was not the club he used.. Neither was it the NCA, the National Club Association. The true killer was Cain, and the reason for the murder could only be found in Cain's heart. "In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a member of the NRA. I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here to represent or defend the NRA - because I don't believe that they are responsible for my daughter's death. Therefore I do not believe that they need to be defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel's murder I would be their strongest opponent. I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy-it was a spiritual event that should be forcing us to look at where the real blame lies! Much of the blame lies here in this room. Much of the blame lies behind the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves. "I wrote a poem just four nights ago that expresses my feelings best. This was written way before I knew I would be speaking here today: Your laws ignore our deepest needs, Your words are empty air. You've stripped away our heritage, You've outlawed simple prayer. Now gunshots fill our classrooms, And precious children die. You seek for answers everywhere, And ask the question "Why?" You regulate restrictive laws, Through legislative creed. And yet you fail to understand, That God is what we need! "Men and women are three-part beings. We all consist of body, soul, and spirit. When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our make-up, we create a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush in and reek havoc. Spiritual presences were present within our educational systems for most of our nation's history. Many of our major colleges began as theological seminaries. This is a historical fact. What has happened to us as a nation? We have refused to honor God, and in so doing, we open the doors to hatred and violence. And when something as terrible as Columbine's tragedy occurs -- politicians immediately look for a scapegoat such as the NRA. They immediately seek to pass more restrictive laws that contribute to erode away our personal and private liberties. We do not need more re strictive laws. "Eric and Dylan would not have been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun laws can stop someone who spends months planning this type of massacre. The real villain lies within our own hearts. "As my son Craig lay under that table in the school library and saw his two friends murdered before his very eyes-He did not hesitate to pray in school. I defy any law or politician to deny him that right! I challenge every young person in America, and around the world, to realize that on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School prayer was brought back to our schools. Do not let the many prayers offered by those students be in vain. Dare to move into the new millennium with a sacred disregard for legislation that violates your God-given right to communicate with Him. To those of you who would point your finger at the NRA - I give to you a sincere challenge. Dare to examine your own heart before casting the first stone! My daughter's death will not be in vain! The young people of this country will not allow that to happen!" Do what the media did not - - let the nation hear this man's speech.

Now that is embarrassing.
Wish I could'a been there. I have yet to have a anti-war liberal explain a lucid alternative to this war. They suggest we should have quit after Afghanistan. When I ask them if they think the attacks would stop if we had, they mumble and try to aviod the question. Some suggest we should pull out and stop being the police of the world. When asked if that would halt the reign of terror around the world, they mumble and try to avoid the question. What happened to the US in the last 60 years? If this was 1945 rather than 2005, Iraq would be considered a great strategic victory. We are in a fight over values, and we have taken our values to the heart of the enemy. The criminal clerics don't fear death, but they fear freedom. Freedom for women's educatation and equality is a dagger in their dark hearts. Now two countries once exporting evil have begun to break the shackles of these oppressive leaders. Anyone doubting the effectiveness of this policy need only look at the extremes the criminal clerics are going to to stop this movement towards freedom in Iraq. Sunnis are bombing Shiite mosques. Foreign fanatics pour across the border to kill fellow muslims. Barbers are killed for trimming beards. Peaceful workers from around the world are being slaughtered. They are desperate to stop this drive to democracy. We need only to keep our nerve and finish the job. Until some of these weak willed America hating liberals come up with a better plan to avenge our dead and win this war against criminal clerics, they should sit down and shut up. The loss of power in the 2000/4 elections is not a reason to invite nucular terrorism on our soil. It's shameful. |

+1 Starship troopers is the only SF book I could ever get my Dad to read. He approved of my reading it whole heartedly. Its a real pity that it is now impossible to be a Democrat and a patriot. Real pity is all the kids who believe this bullshit and are helping send this country down the shitter. We have something very special in this country, and it needs to be guarded and protected carefully since everyone else seems to want to see us fail. My vote certainly took on a new meaning after my first deployment. Martial law in the PI was a real eye opener. As Spyda says , the clerics of islam are vehemently opposed to freedom erupting in their midst. True freedom would and will destroy their control of people. And their fear of this knows no bounds. Witness Zarqwi's recent claim that the killing of innocent people is justified since to avoid doing so would interfere with jihad. Where is the outrage from the rulers of the "Religion of Peace"? Anyone with half a brain can see the world of 5 years ago is gone. There is no safe place anywhere when the target is everything and everyone. And its only a matter of time before the first bombs go off here. Wonder what will happen to the liberal attitude then? But then its always the government at fault isn't it? |

If that were to have happened I for one would not be here raising two children. Both my parents are bleeding heart liberals. Their explanations of things only make sense if you have a feverent desire to be on the dole. I don't bother anymore trying to talk to them about any of this crap since it is like talking to a brick. Funny how this happens though, my parents parents were as conservative as you can get and they all turned out to be hippies. Then my brother and I grow up and are nothing like them politically, ah the cycle of life.... The one thing I do have going though is the attemp to get them to think none of this is worth voting over and how the man is screwing us all. I know I have accomplished something if I can keep them from the voting booth. |

They're just frustrated, because they sold out to the system. Its things like this that makes me embarrassed to tell people I'm from Seattle when I'm out of state. How many of you can remember the victory parade we had for the troops from Desert Storm? -Frnak |
|
|
+1 U gotta remember, they probably voted for your governor also! Isn't that just nice? |

"They're spending $4 billion a month in Iraq, but we have to cut our race relations class, which costs $12,500," Ms. Hagopian pointed out. "That's an important class for our kids."
The kids cant read but we are spending money on this shit? |
|
I saw that Saico,
His expression was priceless. It said, "God I wish you were in Iraq to learn what freedom really means." I'd love to ask her if there was anything she felt that was worth fighting for. |
|
Spyda, I'm sure she's getting plenty of "fan" mail from her notoriety; Washington State's Hanoi Jane. |

I got as far as "A Seattle..." and didn't need to read any further. IIRC this isn't the first time a HS in Seattle has doen this since the WoT began. F*ck'em.

Oddly enough, I started out as lefty as it gets. In 68, I campaigned for Eldridge Cleaver and Cal Winslow! I figured things out about 1 week into boot camp. I don't know exactly why I enlisted, but I'm sure glad I did. I'm grateful for all that I learned in the service. Nowdays I'm about as conservative as they come. I used to own a book that proudly proclaimed Ronald Reagan on their list of 101 worst things. I cried watching his funeral. Open season on liberals: 1 in the bag, 1 in your sights.

How do our efforts in Iraq make us safer from nuclear terrorism? We should be more concerned about N. Korea and perhaps Iran in that respect. True that Iraq gives us a strategic base of operations right next door to Iran. Last time I checked though it was N. Korea who is sabre rattling about actually testing a nuke. We need to keep our eye on the ball. Fred |
|
|
I assume he was referring to potential use of a dirty nuke by al-queda/hezbollah/other similar vermin. anyway great expression on that Marine's face Was there some moratorium or something on Army recruiting? I heard the tail end of just a snippet from a press conference on TV, I think it was yesterday morning. |

Didn't hear anything other than a one dayer to discuss recruiting eithics. |
