Thank God these people weren't around during WW2.
You know......I read these threads almost daily, and I am convinced that there is a totally alien mindset at work with these people. I guess that there have always been "pacifists" for one reason or another, but I'm completely convinced that these folks would be cheering and throwing rose pedals in the path of an invading army marching down the streets in this country.......
I would be remiss if I did not take the opportunity to convey.....to all of the members of this board that are currently serving, or have served, my sincere thanks, and offer my heartfelt support for you. There is no higher calling for an American, and you folks embody the true spirit that makes this country the wonderful land of opportunity that it is. You will always be in our prayers.
I am coming to the conclusion that these DUmmies clearly have become blinded by their ideology to the extent that they are unable to appreciate any contribution to our society that does not support their political worldview. In the grand scheme of things, to a sane American, politics is an interesting diversion, but it certainly does not become the driving force in our daily lives. Since I was born during the last months on Franklin Roosevelt's administration, I have seen presidents come and go........some good, some bad, and some mediocre. I have never really felt that the election of one candidate over another would dramatically effect my life and wellbeing one way or another, because in this country one can truly be the master of ones own fate.
I would'nt know, but it must be truly painful for a person's life to be so devoid of meaning that the success or failure of a political candidate determines whether or not they lead a happy, fulfilled existance. Further to become so obsessed that in order to feel fulfilled they must denegrate the fellow citizens that through their dedication keep them safe, is truly despicable.
