My Post to "America Supports You"

I submitted a post to "America Supports You" website, a Department of Defense site that allows you to send messages to the troops. Since they tell you,

"Thank you for contributing to America Supports You! We will make every effort to include your comments on our site. Due to a tremendous public response, however, it may not be possible to include all messages on our pages. We appreciate your support, and thanks again for visiting America Supports You!"

I am not hopeful of seeing mine posted. So to make certain the message gets out, here is what I wrote:

All Americans, conservative, liberial and in between hope and pray for your safety and thank you for your duty protecting us. We here at home are doing everything we can to replace the current commander-in-chief who has shown contempt for your safety and the safety of us all. We seek someone who has the experience and wisdom to use your efforts more wisely. We seek someone who honors America as your actions show you do.


We recognize that your job is to follow the orders given; this is
true despite the deceptions used by the commander-in-chief. We did not expect him to lie to us all and now find ourselves in a situation which you are doing your best to clean up for us all. Thank you again for your loyality to America and Americans.

A response to a conservative....

I've had a person putting comments on one of my other blogs (Why Do Conservatives Hate America? ) and I checked out his website. I found that I had to comment and here's a copy of what I wrote:



You clearly demonstrate what is wrong when people choose to pledge their loyalty to a person (President Bush) rather than the country. We the American people support our Armed Forces and country but cannot support a man who works hard at destroying America. It is clear this week with the hurricane and flood response that President Bush has made the country less safe. Our National Guard, that's right OUR -- all of us, has been reduced to the point that each sovereign state cannot uphold its responsibility to its citizenry. I fear that any national disaster, natural or man-made, will cost additional lives as this one has due to the current state of disarray in our emergency preparedness programs.


When we question the government or a President (and my guess is that you did so when Mr. Clinton was President), we are not unpatriotic but instead show our respect for America and the freedoms upon which it was founded. If you cannot respect that American Ideals (life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness) belong to us as human beings and are not granted by the government then you must reeducate yourself in these ideals. It destroys America a little every time you tell others in this great country that they are not welcome.


GO ARMY, MARINE CORP, AIR FORCE, AND NAVY and do your duty. We respect that you follow the commander-in-chief even in the face of his actions showing disrespect for you and your commanders. We respect that you will do your duty despite the changing rationales given by our President for your sacrifices in Iraq and here at home. You protect us all by doing your duty. And we free Americans will continue to insist that you not be given duties that contradict our sacred American Ideals and Mores. We call for your safe return home to support our country against the true dangers we face instead of invented ones.


It is not disrespectful to disagree and I want you to note in this comment that I use an honorific title for those with whom I disagree as well as those with whom I agree. Name calling, as you do in this post, simply demonstrates a lack of credible evidence to support for your conservative opinions.
