Sigh — don’t call them unpatriotic, or question their “I support the troops but not the war” lies.
Just a few incidents from just the last few days:
- U.S. Solider burned in effigy in Portland —Â Charles at LGF has the disgusting images. The “Fuck the Troops” banner was a nice touch, too (in case anybody tried to spin the symbolism of their effigy burning). And note the “peace” activists defacing the statue of Abe Lincoln — because we all know that the “freedom of speech” includes the right to vandalism.
- Another U.S. Army Recruitment Station vandalized — I’ve written about the vandalization of Recruiting Stations several times in the past. Because my little brother commands a U.S. Army Recruiting Station, this one is especially close to me. I’ve also written that, when Recruiting Stations and the Soldiers who are posted there come under attack, they should be allowed to defend themselves and the property of the U.S. Government:
And I stand by that statement in regards to these ingrates at UCSC — the moment that rock hit the military SUV, they [the Soldiers inside the SUV] should have stopped and engaged the enemy. You might think this extreme — I don’t. We’re at war, and these kids have chosen to become domestic enemies of the US military.
And this has nothing — NOTHING — to do with their First Amendment rights, either. They don’t have the right to attack military personnel. They don’t have the right to destroy and steal military property.
And this bears repeating:
The Army recruiters should simply post a man 24/7 inside the front window, and he should be allowed to use any weapon for which he is qualified (9mm pistol, M-16 rifle, M203 grenade launcher, M2 .50 Cal rifle, etc.) to defend his post against these latte-fueled, sense-of entitlement, ungrateful idiots from further attacks on US Military property and personnel.
Yes. I am advocating the defensive shooting of college students (or other professional protestors) who engage in acts of vandalism and physical attacks against US Military property and personnel as a “justifiable†and “reasonable†form of dissent or protest.
And fuck yes I’m questioning their patriotism.
These “peace activists” (has there ever been a more inappropriately named movement) are the worst kinds of cowards. And I hope they get hit by a bus on their way to their next “rally”.
The ONLY good thing I have to say about this is that it appears that it is not the mainstream. Of course, it could become so. I sincerely hope it doesn’t.
As an aside, it must be frustrating to post topic after topic and when the left can’t find a reasonable argument (or even an acknowledgment that things such as the above are wrong) there is DEAD SILENCE.
