During one conversation I had, the anti-war groups were mentioned, and some Viet Nam vets made mention that the VN war kept going because of the anti-war protests going on at that time, and that the same thing is happening now.

Another thing they mentioned was that the anti-war groups weren’t really “anti” war, they were anti-America. This is true and can easily be seen by those who attend the anti-war rallies. Communists, PLO and Hamas supporters, etc. This is something that I have seen as well, but am glad others have noticed it too.

Wish I could make it to the GoE in DC, but have to go help my in-laws move into their new place. I’ll be there in spirit though.

Though the bicycling bomber’s motive remains unknown, many of the protesters assumed the blast was an anti-war message.

A bad habit of conservative bloggers: if you don’t know, assume. If you don’t like what they say, they hate America. Opposing the war in Iraq is the same as blowing up recruiting centers.

And a bad habit of liberal bloggers is: if you don’t know, blame Bush. When that fails, use yelling and ad hominem attacks in a lame attempt to put your opponent on the defensive. When that fails, have a riot and call it “dissent.” When all else fails, get in a drive by bicycle and drop off a bomb at the site that offends your seditious sensibilities.

As for “assumption,” do the terms “death pimps,” “assassins,” and an almost automatic willingness to believe (dare I say assume?) that all American soldiers are out to kill Iraqis, shoot babies and run over helpless dogs?

Seriously, if hatred of the honorable military was not the reason for the bombing, what could be? Did the bomber miss the pizza shop he (excuse me, he or she. Don’t want to assume anything, now do we?) really meant to hit? The loud music from within the recruiting office? Or perhaps feelings of inferiority induced in liberals when confronted by real heroes?

Should I assume that you won’t answer as usual? LOL!

You’re a clueless wonder as always, lgm. I love the subtle nuance liberals put on Iraq support these days. The “I support the troops but not the war” garbage has gotten old, especially for military spouses like me.

Opposing the war does nothing for our men and women in uniform but make things more difficult for them. You can live in your academic tower of blithful ignorance and still never understand why people go into the military in the first place.

It’s nice to see you exercising your troll and dash routine again here, lgm. Send our regards to the Troll Liberation Front, okay?

I know I’m not alone and even though I may be one of the “few” who still support the Iraq War, I’m glad that there are those who can speak out for the military. Thank you Eagles!

i am going to go up to DC this Saturday, the wife and i will be taking the kids like last sept, we plan on staying overnight this time to get in more museum time.

NYC: GREAT AMERICANS SUPPORT TROOPS!

Teaming rain, thick soupy fog, miserable weather ………. Gathering of Eagles descended on Times Square and it was great! 100 strong came out to the bombed recruiting station at Times…

Yesterday in the rain, just feet from the Military Recruiting Station in Times Square where someone exploded a bomb early Thursday morning, a Gathering of Eagles took place.

Danny Maloney tells of another …

i would have been there if i could have been, my wife had to work so i had to watch my 3 kids

i gave them a honk and thumbs up but unfortunately i didn’t have the time to stop

One thing you can do, if you can’t afford to make it(I live in MN) or don’t have time for the concentrated gatherings, stop by your local recruiting station with some gift certificates for coffee or lunch. Tell them straight up you appreciate the job they’re doing and that the stuff going on in Berkeley and New York is BS. Sometimes a little one to one is just as good as a big show.
