Clipmarks | Vietnam ClipsIs THAT What They Fought and Died For?clipped by: BartendingBearclippers remarks: Clear thinking. Remember, it?s not the fact that you were born here that makes America great. It?s the principles that America stands for, struggles with, and protects. this week you?ll be honoring those who have fought and died for America when you: * Use birth control * Download porn * Watch the Sopranos or South Park * Go to a raunchy comedy club or listen to a raunchy CD * Have non-intercourse sex * Get a lapdance at a neighborhood club * Read a gay magazine * Have sex with someone of a different race * Write a letter to the editor about same-sex marriage Every single one of these acts took a court decision to affirm its legality. Some will say that granddad or the local barber didn?t die in Flanders, Gettysburg, or Vietnam so that his neighbor could go see a stripper I say that that?s exactly why people died to defend America?a special country in which people have the extraordinary right to do, say, and think things of which their neighbors disapprove.

Obama Caves to Scaredy-Cat Nationclipped by: katsteevns
A paradox of the modern United States is that it wields unprecedented military power in the world yet its people are constantly kept frightened about unlikely foreign dangers. Its politics, too, are dominated by fear. The way this plays out most often is that Republicans (aided by the U.S. news media) exaggerate overseas threats and denounce the Democrats for being ?soft? on whatever the current ?threat? might be: the Reds, the yellow menace, Soviet ?beachheads? in Central America, or now Islamic terrorism. From the Vietnam War to today?s ?war on terror,? Democrats have reacted out of fear of getting blamed for not doing enough to ?protect? the nation, so they undertake misguided actions to look tough, as Lyndon Johnson did in escalating U.S. troop levels in Vietnam or as Democrats in Congress did in going along with George W. Bush?s invasion of Iraq. Iraq Vet: "How Many Nine-year Old Boys Have You Held in Your Arms, Crying for Their Father?"clipped by: JackieDelclippers remarks: How to create a terrorist: The terrible and tragic tale which begins in Vietnam and ends in Iraq. An Iraqi boy and his father were driving home in their pick-up after a days work harvesting watermelons. When US soldiers at a checkpoint ordered them to stop they didnt, so the soldiers machine- gunned the vehicle, killing the father and leaving his distraught son, who survived, to be "taken away" by the soldiers. It turned out that the truck couldnt stop because the brakes were faulty. Perhaps their day harvesting melons was to earn enough to get the brakes fixed? "That was over five years ago, making him a teenager by now. Maybe he will be driving a white Toyota pickup truck tomorrow, approaching a collation check point somewhere in Iraq. And I can damn sure bet you that he won?t be hauling watermelons." How about a boy clinging to his lifeless father that you just killed? I don?t remember how old I was when my father asked me this peculiar question, maybe sometime during my high school years. And I don?t know why he asked me or how it came up in conversation, but when it did, it hit me like a brick. ?How many dying boys have you held in your arms, crying for their mother?? To this day I have never held anyone dying in my arms, and no one crying for their mother. I don?t remember how I answered his question. I was dumb founded. My father fought in the Vietnam War. during the firefight, a soldier in the squad took a bullet to the lower stomach and was bleeding fast. All my father could do was hold his friend and provided what comfort he could as he died in his arms. So the answer to my dad is no But let me ask you this, Dad: How many nine year old boys have you held in your arms, crying for their father? How about a boy clinging to his lifeless father that you just killed? What about your MONEYclipped by: dwinbizclippers remarks: Something to think about................. In 1971, President Richard Nixon changed the rules of money: Without the approval of Congress, he severed the U.S. dollars relationship with gold. He made this unilateral decision during a quietly held two-day meeting on Minot Island in Maine, without consulting his State Department or the international monetary system.
