Jane Fonda at it again

[eagl]

Pardon the language but this traitorous ***** (Jane Fonda) does NOT speak for me, my peers, or represent my best interests.  That she and her group claims to have the interests of the military and nation at heart is propaganda bull**** at it's worst, and a grave insult to everyone who has ever served in the military.

She and her ilk are traitors to the core but right now their voices are the loudest because it's popular and cool to oppose the President.  People she has offended against need to raise their voices and be heard.  Her agenda is not now, and never has been, for the good of the nation or it's defenders.  She claimed to be misled last time, but she has no such excuse now.

There are legitimate arguments for ending the Iraq war, but her mere presence is an insult and it eliminates the legitimacy of any effort that enlists her aid.  She has proven her true value and staunch support of the enemy time and again, and this time is no different.

this nation has a long history of accomodating dissenters.  allowing all ideas to be presented is the very cornerstone of our civil rights.  remember that it's the first amendment in the bill of rights. every person's opinion on any topic is valid, including their stance on the current conflict in iraq and afghanistan.  

fonda, sarandon and all the hollywood nutjobs are well within their rights.  if you really want to make your (and my) view of their stance known and felt, boycott their support base, the product they rely on for income, don't pay to see their movies. write letters to their studios and television sponsors.

that drives the point home far better than any other form of protest, vote with your wallet and let them know why you are choosing to do so.

one of the reasons why we became involved in the amway business is because of the amway corporation's support of traditional american family values, the us military and the cause of american free enterprise.

see who sponsors any of the shows that they appear on, write the sponsors a letter explaining that you will be purchasing products from your local amway distributor because of their support for xxxxx show and see the response you will receive.  then you may call amway and ask for the contact info for your friendly and service oriented patriotic amway distributor and purchase your basics household and personal hygiene products from them.  believe me you'll be glad you did.

or not but that's one way to show your dis-approval that actually has teeth.

I agree with Eagl 100%.

Storch, I agree with on the point of actually writing in to sponsors and such to express displeasure that an idiot entertainer has to try and skew public opinion on a political agenda that they have no clue on.  As for Amway, well, I think that is one of the better pyramid schemes I have heard of.  I do stress the word scheme though.

Storch will be waiting for that cold day in hell when I order my Amway products from anyone, let alone him.

Does that right include aiding and abetting the enemy at times of war?  I always get confused about that one.

[Irwink!]

I am by no means a pacifist, however I did not support the war in Southeast Asia. I definitely do not support the present war or the administration that bought it to us.

That said, Jane Fonda is a treasonous ***** (insert: female cur) that should have gone to prison and STILL BE THERE. A few years earlier and she might have been executed. I wouldn't have lost any sleep over that either.

"one is known by the company they keep"

she is just the latest mouth piece for the dumbarsecrats and their turn tale and run tactic for Iraq..

[Yeager]

I'd hit it. Figuratively first then literally.

Seriously: It is vital to the nation that dissent be promoted and protected.  Look at it (Fonda, Sarandon, Penn) like the bacteria in our digestive tract....smells like **** but is essential for our survival.  I do not agree with what they say but I must respect it and at a minimum give it consideration.  It is my duty as a citizen.

the second part of the post was intended as humor bodhi.  I'm glad you managed to get a chuckle anyways.

Sometimes the bacteria in your stomach kills you. When does it become treason which is detrimental to our survival? It still amazes me after all these years Jane never had a statistically believeable accident......  I know a few vets who still grind their teeth when you mention her name or they see her on television. Used to shoot with one who had targets printed by the 1000 gross with her face on them. His only response was "I fought for her to. But sometimes dreams come true".

It's a dam shame that the downfall of America (if it ever happens) will come from within.

Our own freedoms that we cherish so dearly will be used to bring about this nations darkest hour.

With that said I can still say I proudly defend their right to say what they want to say.

[skernsk]

I'm an outsider looking in.  In other words a non-American.

I have alot of friends and family in the states and they all have differing opinions in the President and the war.  One thing that always amazed me as a non-American is how proud you all are of your country.  At least you used to be.

Seeing what I am seeing I am scared that the Terrorists see what I think I see.  WEAKNESS, DISSENSION, OPPORTUNITY.  I remember 9-11 and how all here were unified that something needed to be done.  So, what did you expect?  A few stealth bombers and a couple cruise missles would take care of it?

I aint a movie goer, so, I guess I have been supporting the troops for a while already.

i was in country when jane was and have no problem with it. dont care for her but will fight to the death  for her right to say it. eagle yours to

If the Dems. make us leave Iraq, I bet in one year after that they will say BRING HOME OUR TROOPS FROM AFGANISTAN! I can just see it. There are those that support every thing the U.S government does, then theres those who just want to bash every thing the U.S government does. Not to be mean, but I bet 90% of those people there don't even know whats going on in Iraq (even me) But I'm not going to listen to the media, as it could be all wrong information for just a little more profit. The only people that really know, and can really tell you the truth whats going on in Iraq are the soldiers. I support the war in Iraq for one reason, the freedom that others should have as we have it. I don't care if we didn't find any WMD, I'm just glad Saddam is out of power, and I am glad we are trying to help the Iraqis get freedom from another Dictator ship. If we leave Iraq, I see another dictator ship forming there that will be 10 times worse than Saddam. The only way Iraq will win is if the people of Iraq stand up to the terroists, and insurgents and their warlords, and say NO! to their BS. The only way the people of Iraq can do that is the help of the Coalition Forces. You can't just send an army free the people and say okay you guys form your own government and laws and we well seat back and watch you tear yourself from the inside out. I truly believe if we had left Iraq after we caught Saddam, Iraq would be like Samalia. Run by Warlords, Druglords, and terroists. I truly think our present in Iraq and Afganistan has saved millions of Americans lives here in the U.S. because the only place the terroists can kill americans and westerners is in Iraq and Afganistan. We we leave now, they will have one place to come and that is America.

Every time we fight for another country to have the right of freedom like us, the people of this great nation bash about that war. What would happen if the countries that supported us during our Revolutionary War stopped and say, I don't want to support this new country. Would we have freedom today? Would we be this great nation? Would we even have this nation, I don't think so. Americans these days are to arrogant. "Oh will yea we had help during our Revolution and probably couldn't win without the help of other nations, but why should I support this nation, that happend like 300 years ago." We don't look at our past to make our decisions today that we know is right. "Oh gees that girl saved my life 10 years ago and I promised her I'd be there for her no matter what, but now shes dating my ex and shes getting her butt kicked by a ***** that I can take. Hmm I don't think I'll help her." I truly think these people that protest this war don't really see what matters. Thats the freedom for the Iraqi people. All that we protest about is "Wheres those WMD President Bush, OH thats right theres none. HAHAHA! I got you good Mr. Bush" "I hate Bush cuz, hes a wanna be Texan". Americans are to arrogant to see what really matters. We had people die for our freedom, why can't we repay that for others.

To paraphrase LBJ...

"We shouldn't send American boys nine or ten thousand miles away from home to do what Middle Eastern boys ought to be doing for themselves."

You get the government you deserve.
