Its funny, but ccarlos’s rant has been removed… wonder how/why?

Picking on cc? If you could read what he wrote, I think I gave a measured response.

Anyway, I’ll gonna "pick on" anyone who promotes war in the name of patriotism or other bs.

Please don’t pick on ccarlos, socean.  You should be grateful that ccarlos is criticising so many pathetic things with the US military and the US Government, and making intelligent observations that a lot of people would be grateful to be told.  Thanks mate.

After thinking about it, I also want to ask anyone who wants to wrap themselves in a flag:

Are you brave enough to fight prostate cancer without insurance? How about facing your family as they watch helplessly while you rot from the groin up? And I’m just one of 47 MILLION citizens of the richest country on earch without health insurance. I’m sure there are other people suffering even more than I am; how about parents who have to watch their children die needlessly?

And we’re the lucky ones. Elsewhere in the world, 25,000 people a DAY die from simple malnutrition.

Meanwhile, we piss away $15 Billion Dollars a month to bring ruin and mayhem to another country.  Shock and Awe? I was Appalled and Disgusted. Mission Accomplished? What mission? What accomplishment? War on Terror? Is there anything more terrible than war?

"Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel." Truer words were never spoken. Come out from hiding under your flag. The world is in trouble, we need real heros, not knuckelheads prancing around an aircraft carrier in a codpiece.

If you’re so brave, so patriotic, so committed, dedicate your life to peace.  Risk your neck actually helping someone. Endure living in a slum while you give comfort and aid. Give your last drops of strength to the downtrodden.

Any dope can put on a uniform and shoot a gun.

 Would you have joined the military if you had to pay for your own meals, buy your own gear, pay for your training, find your own housing, transportation, health care, etc, etc. like the people who actually WORK for a living instead of sucking off the federal tit their entire life? So you joined the military, so what? I’t does’t make you more patriotic than anyone else.

You’re not defending MY country buddy, you’re defending the military industrial complex and the warmongers who run it.

ccarlosramos .. here is a tip for you.

USMC General Smedley Butler "WAR IS A RACKET"

what did you fight for in Vietnam? Gulf of tokin was faked.

former head of the Va Jim Nicholson Knight of Malta former ambassador to the Holy see. look into him and head of immigration Knight of Malta too. this is a very old war.

let history be your guide not the propaganda you learned in your indoctrinated schools and TV/ after all we went to war over CGI’s.

see september clues series. read editors notes.

Good for the people to stand up to tyranny.

this is not our fathers country. it has been stolen while you were sleeping.

Supporting the troops DOES NOT have to include supporting the war in Iraq, strawman.

Excellent! This is exactly what is needed. The citizens need to take back control.

The Bush administration is never going to listen. Not only should they be impeached, they should all be put on trial as war criminals. If nothing else, their actions have been treasonous. They have squandered lives and resources, bankrupted our country, and besmirched America’s name in the world community while oil companies and the other war profiteers they truly represent post record profits.

Go Union workers!
