This kind of media produces people who don't care. They pimp their facade of the war of what the president does or doesn't do. They fill time with useless information. Some people on the other side of the divide believe what is being pimped to them. Lets take for instant this person:
City Council joins with Sheehan, Fonda
The politically motivated City Council finally joined the likes of Jane Fonda and Cindy Sheehan siding with America's enemies, because they believe war is taking too much money from their liberal programs ("City Council to voice opposition to war," Feb. 13).
We should support our men and women who have volunteered to put their lives on the line to fight the war on terror. Let's rely on military leaders to decide what it takes to bring this war to a successful conclusion, rather than a bunch of amateurs. The council's actions do nothing but give aid and comfort to and embolden the enemy, and demoralize the troops. People voting for this kooky resolution will have blood of our military on their hands.
I often think about and wonder how many of those killed in my unit would be alive today, if America had supported the war in Vietnam instead of the enemy. Some things are far worse than war and City Council doesn't have a clue what it is. I hope David Crowley's and Mark Mallory's trip to Washington to provide anti-war support to our enemy was paid for by personal funds, rather than the taxpayer.
Arthur Smith, Loveland
I shake my head and think we have to live with people like this. At least there aren't many of them that think this way. First of all, why all the name calling- and who made liberal a bad name? Fonda and Sheehan do not side with this persons enemies. The actions of the past administrations have sided more with their enemy then these two people. Who sells this persons enemies the bombs that blow up our military? Rumsfeld maybe?You know if Alex Arredondo only had more bullets, had the same helmets our police use at the peace rallies maybe he would still be alive today. So much death because the choices people make...The bad choices people make. Choices that have reactions to us all.
We SHOULD SUPPORT our all volunteer military by stop killing them. Stop doing stupid things with their life for the love of money and power. Both wars the person speaks of were wrong wars. Both wars they used fear to control people like Mr Smith. There is no war on terror just like there is no war on drugs. This is something that is pimped by the media to control people like this. "Some things are far worse than war and City Council doesn't have a clue what it is." Said Mr Smith. He lives in fear that exist in his brain while the real person who can do some damage to him is the people in power who make really bad choices. The people who have blood on their hands are those who use the military to invade another country when they, themselves won't go to a wrong war of their time. The people who support "the decider" have the blood on their hands, not the people trying to save military lives by bringing them home from a place they should have never been sent in the first place
You do good, you get good. You do bad, you get bad. Your actions have reactions on yourself and others. Whats your choice on how to be in this life?
May peace be inside all of us,
Cindy
