“Go Enlist!” “Bite Me!”
Some twit named "scott" wrote on Baldilocks’s blog:
For all you people who think Cindy Sheehan is such a piece of trash, why don’t you call up your local recruiter and join up? How about putting your keypads where your mouths
are?I’ve been there and done that and Cindy Sheehan has lost a child and has all the right in the world to do what she is doing. What has any of your sacrificing been? Slapping a magnetic YELLOW ribbon on your SUV I bet.
And I just love it when you rightwingers use civil rights to make your points, when it is clear how you really feel by your actions.
Sorry, that should have been "pathetic twit named ‘scott’." He’s just re-hashing the same old rejoinder, without a true original thought. He’s no Camille Pgalia, that’s for sure.
He just doesn’t know anything about me, does he? He doesn’t know that I tried to enlist in 1992, but was turned down because of my medical history. He also doesn’t know that my father and grandfather are both veterans, two friends are veterans, one is an Army Ranger, and one of my veteran friends has a son gearing up for Iraq and another about to enlist.
Neither does he know that I don’t have an SUV, or a yellow ribbon magnet. But I do have my Constitutional rights, the same rights we’re trying to bring to Iraq and Afghanistan, and I have given support to the soldiers who are fighting in ways I’m not allowed to. I am grateful to the soldiers, in ways Cindy Sheehan right now finds impossible. She’s still an ungrateful cowardly broad, and she proves it every time she opens her mouth or types on a keyboard.
Bite me, "scott."

Thanks for the link!
Like me, my grandfather (step-dad’s dad) is retired Air Force. My step-dad served a Vietnam-era hitch in the AF and my brother-in-law is NM Air National Guard, currently on Active Duty and still prone to seeing a tour in Iraq/Afghanistan.
I get these “go enlist” exhortations all the time. However, whenever I tell them that they can see my DD Form 214 if they ask nicely, I never get a request. Imagine that! I even have one prepared for such an occasion–with my SSN and my parent’s address blocked out. Ah, well. :-)
Just out of curiosity, what is it that makes her “cowardly”?
Go to http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=05/06/29/1434216 and search for “run over him”.
What kind of *brave* mother would threaten her adult son with assault with a deadly weapon?
She’s a coward, because she would prefer to live in slavery, than to risk death for freedom. It’s that simple.
Consider also that she is using her freedom to oppose bringing that same freedom of dissent to others. In the case of Iraq, it’s not just opposing freedom, it’s supporting death. If she had her way, how many more Iraqis would be dying, every day/week/month, in Saddam’s torture machinery?
