Sign on I-5 overpass today: Winners: Our Troops; Losers: Leftist Scum!
Oh man! The freepers went way overboard in their 'Support the Troops' Nuremberg rally. The flags, I applaude; the yellow ribbons, I cheer; the naked hatred of those who would not have sent them to their deaths in the first place, I despise. These cowardly war-mongers just don't get it. Driving over the overpass on the way to Madigan Army hospital to visit my grandfather, I remarked to my brother, quoting Sean Connery in 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade': "Well, we're pilgrims in an unholy land."

3. I would have been torn to pieces before I ever got there.
Ever see the febrile, crazed look of the audience at a WWF match? Sensed the bloodlust of an NRA rally? A cloud of hatred hung like a pall over the whole area. It was scary.

the I-90 interchange heading into Seattle. I think it was Friday morning if I'm not mistaken...I honked and waved to them!

4. Seen on a 405 overpass last Wednesday
Bush Lied
Impeach Now!

Seemed to cause a traffic commotion...speed picked up after one passed that spot.

It was the day after the primaries, and the Chimpster was in town for a fundraising.

Why, the number of grand finalists now is over 550!

No number of dead is too great if it discomfits the leftists!

7. Don't forget
Kellog Brown & Root, Carlyle Group, and a host of other war profiteers. Although, I guess KB&R is part of Halliburton.

8. There have been some seriously scary signs right there
But I think this one may top them all! I remember the woman who was attacking anti-war protesters who "dared" to show up there last year. We're living in interesting times, that's for sure.

9. I saw a car with signs saying "Impeach Bush"
I was annoyed with the car in traffic, but when I saw the signs I cut him some slack. :-)

11. That's about as stupid and nothing saying as I'd expect
Edited on Sun Mar-07-04 09:08 PM by Kamika
I mean just what the f*ck does that mean?


Winners our troops?

what the hell did they win? some war against a country with weapons from the 70s?


And just what the hell did we lose? They think we wanted Saddam to win?


Here's how it should look.

Winners : Corporate america, Al Quaida

Losers : About 600 Us troops, about 10000 Iraqis

12. You should find out who put that banner up and
give them enlistment forms for themselves or for their children/grandchildren if they're too old.
