The laws might allow for dissent, but it needs to be met with suitable opposition that says "No, this is the way we want it".
As in the days of the Vietnam campaign, which was solely in support of the Vietnamese in there efforts to not live under communism, we are now seeing efforts to force an abandonment of Iraq. How long before infiltration breaks down command?
Unlike wars previous to Vietnam, apparently we now must learn how to fight wars on two fronts. One on the field of battle, and the other is here on our own soil, against people who foolishly believe that the United States can exist without protecting its interests. Although the armed forces can handle one front, it takes non-military to control the other front.
The rebellious being entirely within their rights to protest, they are at liberty to demonstrate all they want without fear of retaliation by the government. So who is responsible for keeping these people from having any influence? It is you and me, my friends.
I hear a faint voice out there saying it is time to show support, but without action that voice will soon fade away, and the pot-heads and free-lovers of the 1960's will have soon won their second campaign.
Where are the people who showed dismay when a healthy person was starved to death in order to appease an unfaithful spouse? Why were there no demonstrations taking place in every corner of this country in opposition to this court-supported ruling of such monumental significance?
Where were those people who shook there heads in disbelief as the courts changed our rights to property ownership and dissolved the guarantee that nobody, not even the government, has the right to take it away from us? Where were the protesters then?
Well, there weren't any. And these protesters who are indeed supporting the spread of terrorism, may well get there way again if allowed to continue, and it's a real shame that the memory of Casey and all the other fine American soldiers who have died during this campaign, now risk the possibly of being merely forgotten, as if victims of another cause that lost all support.
When the cats get fat, the mice will play.
It's time to lose some weight.
Many people do not blindly believe that the U.S. government is correct in itÂ’s policies, right or wrong. You just happen to be in the other 50%.
Since the Korean War was a bust, the U.S. was in Vietnam to create a strategic foothold to influence politics in China. Iraq, like Korea and Vietnam is an unnecessary and costly political blunder.
Why is political dissent contrary to what you believe “war”? These are your countrymen adding their voice to make their vision for our country known. No one had spoken against protecting our interests, however, many people are beginning to speak out against the foolhardy and wanton waste of our resources in a war which will not render any substantial benefit the U.S.
Is it your preference that the government retaliate aganst these people for engaging their rights? Is that the country you want to live in? YouÂ’d be well advised that government force is a double edged sword and cuts two ways. Why would you wish to see any American deprived of his right to participate in civil discourse?
Another voice on the wind says that government has become too powerful, and has turned away from the values and virtues that made this country great, onto a path of international aggression and civil oppression. The government no longer obeys either Constitutional mandate or its own laws.
Where are the people who showed dismay when a healthy person was starved to death in order to appease an unfaithful spouse? Why were there no demonstrations taking place in every corner of this country in opposition to this court-supported ruling of such monumental significance?
There are people in court every single day fighting the deliberate and incremental attack by government, ultra-right, and ultra-left organizations to infringe, erode and eliminate the rights of the free people of the United States.
No American supports the spread of terrorism except for perhaps that small portion who truly are the enemy rather than the loyal opposition.
You donÂ’t have to agree with the woman. She has a right to have her say whether you like it or not. If you find it so disturbing, turn your head.
It is the effort to silence Americans from making their voices heard by their fellow countrymen and or the government which should be looked down upon and discouraged.
Give to every other human being every right that you claim for yourself.
