Fighting for our freedoms in Iraq

by Soldier's Mother

July 24, 2007
 PERMANENT LINK 
I am the Mother of a young Man who is fighting for our freedoms in Iraq and for our great nation's uniform. On my son's behalv and that of all the brave soldjers, sailors and Marines who are willing to do more than you ever would to risk their own lives and health to give freedom to ungreatful people like you can live in the best country the world has ever seen. To all you un-American hatefilled mockers of George Bush and America I ask only, have you no shame? God bless America.

Soldier's Mother   

You imagine that your son is fighting for our freedoms in Iraq. That's absurd. Our freedoms are endangered here, not in Iraq. Iraq has never posed any plausible threat to America's freedoms.

Your son is fighting for his life, a fight I hope he wins. And as you say, he's fighting for his frickin' uniform. To me if not to you, your son's life is worth more than his uniform.

Helen & Harry
  Dear Soldier's Mother:

Sigh. OK, let me break it down, I doubt that you possess the intellect or willingness to remove your bovine blinders, but perhaps someone else will.

1.  Soldiers take pay to kill innocents. That is reality.

2.  They do not make us free, they make others dead.

3.  Your soddin’ adherence to an antiquated brain-fucked belief system is what keeps the meat grinder going.

4.  If you had done your job as a mother, your kid would have joined the mafia, or became a telemarketing scam artist, or something more respectable than killing for a government that holds him in complete and utter contempt.

5.  You are a (no doubt unwitting) hypocrite, criticizing us for daring to use the freedom your son is “fighting” for.

6.  You are deceiving yourself, but not me. Grow up and take responsibility for you and your son’s ignorance and participation in this grand boondoggle. Without the great hordes of deluded sheeple like you, the war game would’ve died long ago.

7.  If you want to write, have something to say.

Cruel? Fuck that. These words will not shed one drop of blood, deprive one baby of her parents, rape one pre-teen Iraqi, devastate one villages crops, poison one hectare of soil with radioactive death, or dig one more friggin grave.

Cruel is the continued self-enslaved mindset of people like "Soldier's Mother," who are relying on “God” to bless America. God helps those who help themselves. I wonder what He thinks of the wholesale murder of His Iraqi children to steal their oil?

I know it hurts, people, but THINK FOR YOURSELVES!

Our front page is free from nudity and profanity, but interior pages and external links may not be safe for work, and you may be shocked, offended, or in trouble with your boss. A link doesn't imply that we agree with every sentence and every sentiment on every site we link to. We use our noggins, and suggest you use yours.

Unknown News is more fun and more informative with your participation, so please don't be shy. Consider yourself invited to speak your mind.

Because we respect peoples' privacy, we do not keep records of friends' and contributors' contact information. This means we can't forward private communications between readers and writers, but we always welcome dialogue for publication.

When we publish incoming emails, we usually edit out the sender's last name, email address, or anything else that would tend to uniquely identify the author (if we slip up, please let us know). But if your email is unambiguously intended only to annoy, insult, or threaten us, we'll publish all the details, and leave it on-line forever.

 We're especially interested in hearing and considering different perspectives. All we ask is that you conduct yourself sanely and civilly. For the most productive dialogue, it helps if you'll cite a specific article or concept we've gotten wrong.

You can contact Helen & Harry at <newsuneed at yahoo.com>. If that address ever fails, our back-up email address is <unknownnews at inbox.com>.

But please, don't email us unless you're really and truly, honestly, actually trying to send the publishers of News a communication you're not sending to anyone or everyone else.

Please don't send attachments or other cr*p we don't want.

If you're trying to reach us but getting no reply, it's probably because you've sent us cr*p we don't want, so we're filtering your emails into the trash, unopened and unread.

If you'd like to have your email address unblocked, simply send a sincere apology (from an un-blocked email address).
