Yeh it's amazing how so called intellectuals can be so PETTY and DUMB.
Would you really want these people governing us?
Would they be making wise decisions OR flying off the handle and putting US in concentration camps when we don't agree with THEM?
They don't seem to be able to accept the fact that freedom of speech doesn't mean we HAVE to agree with them.

This poem was in a letter from a marine in Kuwait dated 9 March 2003. The marines were hearing about the anti-war protests and they were upset. That's all the letter talked about. This Marine enclosed a poem he and his buddies wrote.
"Wish You Were Here"
For all the free people that still protest.
You're welcome. We protect you and you are protected by the best.
Your voice is strong and loud,
but who will fight for you? No one standing in your crowd.
We are your fathers, brothers, and sons,
wearing the boots and carrying guns.
We are the ones that leave all we own,
to make sure your future is carved in stone.
We are the ones who fight and die,
We might not be able to save the world, Well, at least we try.
We walked the paths to where we are at
and we want no choice other than that.
so when you rally your group to complain,
take a look in the back of your brain.
In order for that flag you love to fly
wars must be fought and young men must die.
We came here to fight for the ones we hold dear.
If that's not respected, we would rather stay here.
So please stop yelling, put down your signs,
and pray for those behind enemy lines.
When the conflict is over and all is well,
be thankful that we chose to go through hell.

This was forwarded to me from my best friend in the Marines. He is on ship in the Persian Gulf.
Marines, I wrote this several weeks ago in reaction to the movie stars and entertainers and activists protesting our mission here. I had not expected so much interest in it, but seems each day someone hears about it and asks if they can read it. So.....I send it to you for your reading.

"THE STAND"
I read in the news, how you made a stand,
you marched in the streets of our country's land,
trying to say who is wrong or right,
telling our country they should not fight;
Marching against Marines, like me, here,
defending the rights you hold so dear,
assuming I love to kill and maim,
acting like this is some sort of game;
You call yourselves experts on what we should do,
on September eleventh, where were you,
while thousands of Americans suffered and died,
are you trying to say this is something you can abide?
Were you at the funerals as they lowered the caskets,
maybe you should remove your rose colored glasses?
I so, want to feel the comforts of my home,
where recently I left my family alone,
yet I'll do my duty in this far off land,
so you can march on Washington and make your stand;
Do not despise me for what I do,
because truth be known, I do it for you,
to hopefully free you from terror's arm,
so you can have your freedoms, free from harm;
What is the price, for the life you live?
What is the payment you have to give?
Is it starring in a movie, or singing a good song,
that has kept you free for all this long?
It is men like me, and others too,
doing what our country calls us to do,
sailing the seas to this far off land,
while you stay at home and make your stand;
I am not bitter, this is the life I choose,
So the rights you express so freely, you will not lose,
You may not support me for what I do,
But you need to know, I do it for you;
When this is over, when we are through,
I would rather you just say, thank you,
for giving you, the time you had,
to march in our streets and make your stand.

IT MAKES ME SICK TO SEE THESE PROTESTORS IN THE STREETS.
IF THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE WAY OF LIFE GET THE F*** OUT. ONE OF MY BEST FREINDS HAS BEEN OVER THERE ONCE AFTER 9-11 AND NOW JUST GOT SENT BACK TO PAVE THE WAY TO BAHGDAD.
THESE MEN AND WOMEN ARE THERE TO PROTECT US AGAINST FUTURE ATTACKS, IVE HEARD PEOPLE SAY THE WAR IS ABOUT OIL
THIS IS TO KEEP US FREE AND LIVE THE WAY OF LIFE THAT WE CHOOSE NOT THE WAY SOMEBODY TELLS US TO LIVE.
LET FREEDOM RING....
LEFTY THAT WAS AWESOME
