Comments on: The NY Times Once Again Denigrates our Military http://urbangrounds.com/2007/01/ssg-hector-leija/ Off-the-cuff commentary on the day's events Sat, 20 Mar 2010 20:36:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Bev http://urbangrounds.com/2007/01/ssg-hector-leija/#comment-40271 Bev Fri, 02 Feb 2007 02:58:41 +0000 http://urbangrounds.com/2007/01/31/ssg-hector-leija/#comment-40271 Looks again like the Liberals are looking to "excuse" the vile behavior of their beloved NY Times. I think it is now time for we "the silent majority" to do all that we can to ensure the newspaper loses as many subscribes as we can. It's time for the silent majority (who know and understand we are in danger) start letting OUR voices be heard. SUPPORT OUR TROOPS ! All of you left wing socialist progressives who always "blame America first" should move to the Mid-East and see how long you live if you simply try to express your opinions there. They will cut your tongues out ! This is a free society and we DO have free speech. However; you folks should also remember your voices are heard by our enemies and only serve to embolden them. Hence; we lose even more of our brave soldiers. Give it a break and be glad you are blessed to live in the United States.

Hundred of thousands are dying because of Islamofascist terrorists, not because of our elected officials. </em> Well, there is a civil war between Sunnis and Shia- which side are the Islamofascist terrorists again? In addition to that violence the US has dropped thousands and thousands of bombs. I think an estimate of one accidental civilian death per 500 lb. bomb is pretty conservative. To be clear, I don't want to see dead Americans or dead Iraqis on my television. But I want this to happen by <strong>not having dead Americans </strong>not by simply put our hands over our eyes.

There is no moment more personal to a family and their disgusting behavior cannot be excused.

I want those reporters kicked out of Iraq. NYT reporters should no longer be allowed to be embedded. The only "uninformed citizenry" are those who rely on the NYT as a news source.

We have the most uninformed citizenry in the world when it comes to what our nation does abroad.

That’s an insane remark. Hundred of thousands are dying because of Islamofascist terrorists, not because of our elected officials.

Hundreds of thousands are dying because of our elected officials yet the electorate will never see what is done in their names. We have the most uninformed citizenry in the world when it comes to what our nation does abroad. Remember, of course, this rule was never applied to the endless video loop of an airline crashing into the South Tower of the World Trade Center, instantly ending the lives of a hundred and leading to the death of a thousand more.
