2. Liberals kill people?
Gimme a break! :eyes:

How does that jibe with "pro-military", BTW?

I'm trying to think of revenge plans, but frankly, that's not the liberal way!:D

The best revenge is to work hard and help bring a Kerry victory. That's the best I can do...:shrug:

4. What -- still a civilian?
I think you should get in touch with your local Army recruiter and give them your friend's address and phone number.

5. Ask her why it's important to save babies but anyone of military age
is indespensable. Do Pubs want to save babies so they can fight their war. Why hasn't * put a stop to Roe v wade? Is war OK no matter what? Where is Osama?

11. saving babies? whoa....be careful with your language
are you suggesting that liberals are for killing babies?

the liberal stand on the abortion issue says a woman should have a right to choose to terminate a pregnancy up to a certain point in the development of the fetus. when the courts ruled on roe v wade, i'm sure that medical experts (and quite possibly clergy) were involved in the decision to ensure that the point up to which abortion will be made legal will be at a time when the fetus is NOT a baby.

be careful or you will invite all sorts of trouble from the right who will parse your words.

12. as above i'd be careful with the language....
your statement makes it sound like abortion is the killing of children. a freeper would see this and call you an admitted baby killer (or at least someone who condones killing babies). i know that you aren't, but we have to be careful with the language, even when joking around. the whole reason the religious fanatics vote for repubs is because of the abortion issue. they say it's murder, roe v wade says it's not.

13. How about a shirt that says...

Guns don't kill people.
They kill statistics.
Just ask the 10,000 American families each year who will grieve a beloved statistic.

OR

Guns don't kill people. Bullets kill people.



By the way, no offense to you, but your co-worker sounds like a disgusting human being.

15. Tell your co-worker
some people say Bush made his girlfriend to have an abortion. Is he really pro-choice and does he practice what he preaches?

19. Here
A liberal didn't send over a thousand troops to die in Iraq.
George Bush did. How is that pro-life.

When did George ever say he was going to fight Roe vs. Wade. When did he ever do anything but give lip-service to pro-life issues.

How is George Bush pro-military. A liberal didn't send the troops to Iraq without proper equipment.
A liberal didn't send the troops in insufficient numbers to get the job done.
A liberal isn't cutting veteran's benefits.
A liberal didn't gut the military by stretching it so thin.
George Bush did.

"Support the Troops" means more than yellow ribbons and American flags. Anyone can wave a damn flag. What EXACTLY did George Bush for America aside from flappin' his lips about patriotism.

Well, enough of that. Let's see some action.

23. Stick to the "Military" and "American" topic areas
Guns and abortions are no-gray-area, hot-button, with-us/against-us subjects.

But it's not being anti-military or anti-American to take a real, serious and objective look at just how well The Shrub has been leading that military. Some of the articles I've seen, lately, on
www.commondreams.org and www.antiwar.com have been pretty devastating.

Another good source would be hackworth.com and "soldiers for the truth" (I think it's www.sftt.org), run by America's most decorated combat veteran, ever, David Hackworth. (He ran off to fight in WWII as an underage 15 year old, and then literally wrote the book on how to fight in Vietnam. He shows up from time to time on CNN and MSNBC as a talking head, so you've maybe seen him.) His 2 websites have actual military e-mailing in on their experiences, from Iraq and Afghanistan, and are also pretty eye-opening.

Maybe even eye-opening enough for a twit like the t-shirt maker.
I'm sure he (or she) is as well-intentioned and patriotic as the next person, but few people really know how badly the war in Iraq is going, or how poorly planned and executed it's been. That's not leadership...

25. Give that fella a military enlistment form. . .
and tell him if he wants to fight, he can either sign up or shut up.

Make him put his money and his balls where his mouth is.
