Retake the phase: "Support our Troops"
Edited on Sun May-16-04 11:43 PM by JohnLocke
If you type in "Support the Troops" and "president" into Google, one of the first things that appears is a Free Republic post: "Support our Troops." By this, of course, they meant "support Bush." This perverse connection of citizen, patriotism, and politics is nothing new to conservatives. And yet I see some here that are ready to accept this. To them I say this: No. We shall not let them capture another word. That have already captured the word "liberal." They have already wrapped each disgusting, propagandistic, political message in the flag, in their never-ended attempt to get people to vote against their best interest. Now is the time for action. Proudly say that you support the troops, but not what Bush would do with them.

2. Pete Seeger said it best almost 40 years ago . . .
"If you love your Uncle Sam,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home,
Support our boys in Vietnam,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home."

same thing applies today . . .

Support our troops! Bring 'em home!!!
