1. They've never seen combat...
Their experience of warfare is from John Wayne movies. (Another right wing pussy who used to beat up women.)

6. Even When Other FR People Try To Give Them First Hand Stories...
They just blow it off. This whole war is like a Reality TV Show for these assholes.

7. Oh dear god. Can people really be this willfully ignorant?
I quote directly:

"I SHOULD NOT OF READ THIS!

GODBLESS OUR VETERANS!"

In other words: fuck the truth and pass the All-American Patriot Kool-Aid (made in Taiwan).

9. Their Denial Is The Reason Why "Nightline...."
can't even simply read the names of the war dead without them screaming "propaganda." They live in deep, deep denial. You can't vote for GWB TWICE without having forsaken reality all together.

10. Conservatives hate life
As long as conservatives have something or someone to hate, they're happy. Communism, socialism, liberals, non-Christian religions, education, critical thinking, etc are all anti-American yet they fail to understand that a variety of groups helped get this nation to where it is now. Remove even one group, like Quakers, and our society would be different. They view things as one way and nothing else.

If they support veterns, why not enlist or donate to WoundedWarriorProject.org?

11. Vets! Take Note!
And the next time there's a bloody election..make sure you vote Democratic.

These assholes only care about you as cannon fodder!

That's tough to say but it happens to be true!

12. I'll never click on one of their links again.
In the way a civilian can, I've worked half time for homeless folks and for families dealing with mental illness that the culture just shrugs off for about ten years.

It never seems to come home, until it comes home.

If you can wrap it in a flag, it takes a little longer to ping.

My vote is to yank those flags off of real lives, and see what we've done.

Because I respect life, and because I respect the flag.

Denial and disrespect. Good going, Freepers. God help it not come to your door.

Beth

14. Stange brew over there
Don't they realize that underfunding medical and psychological care for our Vets leads to SERIOUS long term problems? Let them go to any VA hospital and spew that crap. I dare them.

15. Freeptards hate the living and worship death
Here is a perfect example!

To: randog
Logic 101 According to the Left: Columbus was a brutal rapist and murderer, so hence we should not celebrate Columbus Day; The tyrannical Puritans invaded North America, brought diseases like syphilis and dysentery and killed off the poor innocent Natives, therefore we should not celebrate Thanksgiving...it makes us all fat anyway.

...You see where this is going.

16. this proves that Freepers are nasty and want to hurt others
their arguments that they are for America are crap if they aren't at least helping vets - not to mention heading over to Iraq right now to relieve pressure on the troops.

then again, what can 100 stupid freepers accomplish anyway.

17. It seems the freepers have to keep being taught not to have empathy.
Otherwise how can they follow the leader and tribalize the nation?

So sad those freeper. Delusional - and really it is a choice to give up your empathy when you have not been attacked and nobody has taken away your 'plasmar' tv.

21. "PURPLE HEART BANDAIDS!" And you're surprised freepers are scum???
And they're not "strong on defense" either. That's another rightwingnut total myth and the facts are clear & plain for all to see. (links to these facts avail on request).

That's why freepers hate facts.

And they hate our troops and they'd hate God Himself if He dared speak publicly against bush.

For freepers it's PARTY UBER ALLES.
