Besides pissing people off, losing a wonderful contributor and showing contempt not for politics but for the military as a whole..... I really don't see what was accomplished by the radical anti war crowd here.
I see that a Mod himself added fuel to the fire and could have moved this thread so that the true meaning (wishing the men and women in the military far from their homes a Happy Holiday season) could be achieved without the flamers and idiocy that was shown here.
Hey Zeus Freaking Crisp.... we have enough anti war threads, why couldn't we just have one ESPECIALLY this time of year to appreciate and send our thanks and love to those who have chosen to protect our rights.
Some of you have truly made me ashamed to be a Democrat by showing your pathetic, egotistical pettiness and self righteous, holier and smarter than thou bravado. How truly sad you cannot find enough peace within yourselves to just wish our men and women in uniform a safe and merry Christmas. You talk of peace, love and how criminal the war is yet you are too blind to see your own hatred, prejudice and contempt.
I also love the way that anyone who points this out is compared to Nazis, told that we are infringing upon freedoms, talked down to, told to accept that "this is politics" ..... love that excuse.... "I can't wish the military men and women a Merry Christmas in this thread because it's in the Politics category and thus I must make my politics known (even tho I've done so in every anti war thread.... If I wish the men and women in uniform a Merry Christmas and not say something contrite and amusing (to show my intelligence) my Radical friends here may think I'm not as anti war as them and they may not give me kudos and warm fuzzies and instead say I'm getting soft on the war."
Fuck that bullshit.... but I better never see one of you talk about how you "hate the war but support the troops" I'm sure if I don't pop up this thread and show your quotes of how you truly feel about and support the troops, USTwo or some NeoCon or even moderate Righty will.
One can be anti war, not believe in the reasons and dislike Bush but still have enough class, honor and respect to wish those men and women a safe and Merry Christmas.
What a bunch of selfish, ignorant, self serving assholes. I'd rather converse with a 1,000 USTwos (no offense) and Limbaughs than be associated with your type. At least with the NeoCons and Far Right I know what to expect. With you Radical Leftists you'll backstab anyone if you think it'll get you brownie points or show how "great" you are (only in your own mind though).

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
