About A Soldier Part II

Imagine havng a son or daughter killed in war, to die a hero's death against unimaginable odds and be awarded the second highest medal in the U.S. Navy. Imagine the sense of pride when the town wants to honor him with a staatue in the center of town, a small, yet powerful token of appreciation for the sacrific that he made. Now imagine having that statue protested and the dipiction of your son compared to the numerous school shooters over the last decade or so. Well, that's exactly what happened to the parents of Danny Dietz, one of the soldiers that was killed in the battle that was the subject of my previous post.
"It broke our hearts," said Dan Dietz, who still lives in the area. "My son was fighting for her freedom to do exactly what she is doing. She put my son in the same category as Columbine. How does she have the audacity to do that?"

Apparently, the protesters were mad about the rifle Danny is holding in the statue.

I say if tie die t-shirts could protect us better than an automatic rifle we'll put one on him. Until then, the rifle stays.

Hippies Go Home.

On July 4th his statue was dedicated.

The ACLU is at it again...

Go ahead and roll your eyes before you read any further and get it out of your system.
They are suing the White House charging that they excluded protesters and opponents of the current administration from certain events that President Bush was speaking at. Now think about it. Say you're having a block party in your cul-de-sac, serving hot dogs and hamburgers, and some crazy vegans come to protest that you are eating meat. What is the likelyhood of an altercation? They have the same right to be on public proprty as you, but at what point does it cause such a disruption that there has to be some intervention? Basicly, it comes down to to security. Bush is certainly not the most popular fella on the block these days and there are many people, mainly on the left, that would do close to anything to cause disruptions and possible harm to the administration. It's just plain elementary.
I equivilate it to this, for those of you who know who I am speaking of... imagine One People's Project suing Bill White because they can't march down a public street with them. Yeah, this lawsuit is THAT retarded.
