I wonder if anyone even reads this crap I post? At least when I post the funny, some of my loyal readers comment....lol I'll take that as a lesson to stop posting political rantings. (Not really, but it crossed my mind)

I have been arrested in my life. Three times specifically. There are several times I could have been arrested along with these, and just lucked out.
Found this surfing the web, thought I would share. Oh, and please add to it, as I think it is sort of outdated.
They have the nerve to call draft-dodging cowards courageous. Courageous. I feel like this at least should make some people on the left feel a little ashamed, but it won't.
"Historians, and critics of American policy", aren't those the same thing once you leave our borders? Oh, and while I'm fuming here, what the hell does CURRENT foreign policy have to do with a war that ended over twenty years ago?
One more thing before I go.
Since when is "war resister" synonymous with running like a girl for the border?
Draft-dodger memorial to be built in B.C.
Last Updated Wed, 08 Sep 2004 11:27:18 EDT
NELSON, B.C. - B.C. activists plan to erect a bronze sculpture honouring
draft dodgers, four decades after Americans opposed to the Vietnam War sought
refuge in Canada.
The memorial, created by artists in Nelson, B.C., ties
into a two-day celebration planned for July 2006 that pays tribute to as many as
125,000 Americans who fled to Canada between 1964 and 1977."This will mark the courageous legacy of
Vietnam War resisters and the Canadians who helped them resettle in this country
during that tumultuous era," Isaac Romano, the director of the Our Way Home
festival told a news conference in Nelson Tuesday.
The event will honour
people who came to Canada and resisted war efforts, from burning their draft
cards during the Vietnam War to leaving the army to protest the war in Iraq,
Romano said.
Musicians many of who participated in the anti-war movement
will play at the festival, scheduled for July 8-9, 2006. Historians and critics
of U.S. foreign policy will speak and a documentary about American war resisters
by director Michelle Mason will be screened.
Estimates of the number of
Americans who came to Canada because they opposed the Vietnam War range from
50,000 to 125,000.
They sought refuge in Canada between 1964 and 1977 in one
of the biggest political exoduses in U.S. history.
The first wave of Vietnam
era immigrants, called "draft dodgers," was largely middle class and educated.
Deserters from the army came later, mostly with little education or money.
Many of the war resisters settled in British Columbia, especially in the
Gulf Islands, the Sunshine Coast and the West Kootenay, the B.C. Interior region
where Nelson is located.
Thousands returned south after President Jimmy
Carter granted them amnesty in 1977, but the 1986 census indicated that half
stayed in Canada.
Fact, it seems so simple does it not? A fact is something that irrefutibly happened.
However, I have noticed that certain people, mainly left-wing authors, and news casters are redefining fact. I will now attempt to lay out the two definitions.
Fact, definition one:
Anything you hear that sounds like it might make someone you don't like or approve of sound bad.
Some little-known lefty facts:
Definition Two:
Something that happened.
..........the counterattacks on Bush.
Convention "Con Games"
I got up at 5 today, no particular reason, it's a holiday for god's sake. Anyway, I logged onto the old City of Heroes games, and played a few hours, waiting for a decnt time to wake up Patti and get out of the house. We made very vague plans to do SOMETHING today.
A whole lot of these are undeniably bullshit. Some are true, and some are sort of true. I leave it to you to figure it all out, I am tired. I have had a busy day.
Kerry's showing he just can't take the heat
Reread those last two sentences. Really think about that. I know how I felt when I watched on live television the second plane crashing into the World Trade Center. I knew it was no accident after the first plane. After the second, I knew someone was going to pay for this. When the Pentagon was hit, I was ready for nuclear warfare. I don't believe in taking the victim stance when bad things happen. I believe you do something to change your situation, or you suffer in silence.
I can't stand the whining, bitching, and ineffective talk from the left. When someone from the Democratic party actually brings up 9-11, it sickens me. They hold such contempt for Bush using it in his speeches, yet they feel it's perfectly fine to do so themselves. All I have to say to that is.
Were you president when the worst attack on American soil took place?
I didn't think so. If the president wants to talk about 9-11, have at it man. Tell me again how pissed you are. Tell me we aren't going to stop until the world is truly safe again. (As safe as it can be of course) Tell me that you won't forgive or forget the transgressions of these camel-fucking sand eating towel-head motherfuckers.
