That's pretty much it, lol.

I looked into it and yes all procedes go to vets. Everything is legit. I encourage all of you to order away.

There is no reason for anyone with a myspace account not to take 5 seconds and post a bulletin with this info.

P.S. bump

I agree 100%. If you're bored, do something productive with your time and send a card.

That's one cool link. I'll be spreading the word about this.

Check out pinupsforvets.com when you get the chance. They are offering 2008 calendars for $22 a piece and posters for $18. This is to raise money for VA hospitals.

Everything looks legit, but I will be looking into how much of the $22 actually goes to the vets. I suggest you do the same. Christmas is round the corner and these would make great gifts.

You can also donate the calendars and posters to wounded vets and our guys overseas.

Don't just complain about the care of our vets, do something about it.

Edited: for grammer

I agree. Fox news is biased; as in NBC, CBS, and ABC. It all depends on whether you want a right-wing or left-wing slant to the information your getting.

I love hippies. They're natures punching bags.

But, seriously... I think I've already expressed that I'm in line with the thinking that they are a cult of selfish, hedonistic bums. As I am anti-drug use, anti-drum/poetry circles, pro-nationalistic, and pro-bathing, I am naturally going to view the hippy cult in a negative light.

That doesn't mean for you to draw your own lines of conclusion that I am pro-system, pro-foreign involvement, pro-finance capitalism, etc., etc.

The frustrating part is where I'm accused of being pro-foreign involvement when I believe my first post in this thread was favoring armed neutrality.

But anyways...

All you Ron Paul supporters need to go ahead and register republican so you can vote for him in the primaries. You don't have to be a supporter of the republican party to do so (honestly I think both parties are frauds), but you do have to be registered as a republican to vote in the primary.

The NC primary is May 6th, you'll have to check with your individual state.

As for Barrack, he’s pro-gun control. I can’t vote for anyone who doesn’t support the constitution in it’s entirety.

What’s all this ‘son’ crap? Talk down to me if you want, doesn’t hurt my feelings, but it seems a little childish.

Also I couldn’t give a d*mn less of what you think about the rebel flag in my picture.

A good friend of mine is a WWII vet and had me get him one after seeing the one hung up on my wall (the one in the picture). In return he got me a St. Andrews flag.

My great-uncle who lead a Marine recon unit in Nam’ carried a rebel flag with him during the war and used it to signal helicopters for pickup (some of the guys in his squad joked about Yankee pilots seeing the flag and flying off without them).

I know a guy in Iraq now who has a Confederate flag, an American Flag, and a Betsy Ross tattooed on his forearms (he had them before the cut on tattoos below short sleeves). He’s currently flying both the Stars and Bars and the Rebel Flag in his sleeping quarters over there.

There are just some quick examples.

I have other flags on display in the same room, but I won’t go through the trouble to make an itemized list as I have no intentions on impressing someone with an obviously ignorant and skewed version of history.

As far as some being spit upon and some not, the point I was making was that the bulk of the spitting was done by hippies and the few hippies that had factory jobs were the ones making faulty equipment costing our troops lives. This was to demonstrate that their opposition to the war was obviously not based on U.S. deaths.

I’m not going to argue with the justness of either Vietnam or Iraq, or the treatment of returning vets, because I never said that I supported either war. On the contrary I already made the point, in this very thread, that I was opposed to the war in Iraq, but you guys seem more comfortable making assumptions and jumping to conclusions than reading what I have to say.

Once again read what I have had to say on the issue and understand my position that hippies have never acted on the behalf of the combat troops or returning vets. You don’t have to agree, but try to understand that this is my position. The evidence for Vietnam I’ve already demonstrated, try and have a look over that again, if you would. Today the lefties who say they care so much about the troops make jokes about the condition of VA hospitals such as Walter Reed. The issue to them is more about an opportunity for bashing the system than caring for the welfare of American veterans. I have no problem with bashing a corrupt system and I do believe the present one is indeed corrupt, but I care more about fixing the problems produced by such a system and taking care of the people who I feel need to be taken care of.

Edit: By the way, I read Smedly Butler's 'War is a Racket' long ago and agree with him. Go back and read my support of American armed neutrality.

I rarely do Dittos, but what else can be said?

That's pretty gross there.

Hey, if anything I've stated is false then point it out.

You may not like the conclusions I've reached, but you can't deny the facts that I have used to support them (you do know how to differentiate between fact and opinion, right?).

Go for it if you want to, but don't hide behind a cloak of intellectual superiority when you won't attempt to refute specific statements I've made.

Yes rather than refute any of my arguments, make a jibe at my age. Real convincing .

1. They only promoted the ideas of love and peace to their dirty hippy brethren. As stated before they had no qualms with sabotaging American war equipment (at the cost of American lives), spiting on vets, or (as I haven't yet mentioned) throwing rocks at firefighters who tried to put out a campus structure fire that they, the hippies, had started.

2. They promoted freedom from all responsibility. Not something really note worthy. Even if they are responsible for today’s fashion choices, that's a bit of a small contribution in the scheme of things. But oh no, greasers and bikers already had challenged societies norms.

3. Yep LSD, pills, and smoking dope make for a healthy lifestyle. But not nearly as much as not bathing (as well all know soap is a cancer forming agent).

4. That's something that had never been done before by anyone else in the history of the United States .

5. Only because their college profs. told them too. They weren't the driving forces behind either movement.

6. No their professors and hippy peers decided that for them.

7. I don't really refute this. Though your rank and file hippy didn't really contribute to any of these movements.

8. You skipped eight.

9. Only if they cater to a left-wing agenda.

10. I don't really see pervert-rights as a good thing.

11. Only if you're talking about the right religions and the right cultures.

12. Maybe folk rock and acid rock, but Heavy metal? Please. Your stretching it now. Heavy metal has more to do with rock and roll and classical music than anything else.

Try and pay attention.

I was referring to flag burners. People who burn the symbol of this country obviously do not love it. And if you are so opposed to this country then it only makes sense that you wouldn't want to stick around. I don't know how to make it any simpler than that.

What I think is disgusting is people who want to have their cake and eat it too. People who talk about what an evil nation this is, but enjoy the benefits of living here.

I know many a combat veteran who are opposed to flag burning. As a matter of fact, of all the combat vets I know none are in favor of it. But, by all means, please put your words into their mouths.

I never denied anyone the right to criticize any wrongs. I myself am no fan of the current administration. If you spent any time with me as an individual, or even just reading my posts on this forum, I'm a far cry from holding popular opinion.

Moving on.

I think it's fair to call self-professed Marxists or those who believe in the social tenants of Marxism, commies. I mean, that's what they are plain and simple.

Also if you were paying attention the only people I actually referred to as reds or commies were Ernesto 'Che' Guevara and the Viet Cong. Please by all means correct me if these people were not, infact, communists.

The fact is most war protesters of the Vietnam era were communist sympathizers. You can't deny that returning vets were spit upon and criminalized as baby killers. Nor can you deny that, as I stated earlier, lefty factory workers purposely sabotaged equipment. Neither can you gloss over Jane Fonda posing next to VC anti-aircraft guns. Guns whose purpose was to shoot American pilots dead.

Other than flag burning, I don't think I really had anything to say against freedom of speech. And I didn't even really deny them the right to do so, I was just making a comment on their character. As I said earlier, if you don't like America emigrate to somewhere else.

Don't you think it's a little childish to burn the symbol of a nation, while simultaneously claiming and expecting protection under that nation's laws?

Poisoning yourself and others could be considered a form of protest, but it's a stretch. Not really something worthy of being called 'the greatest thing to happen to America since the revolution' by any means.

Hippies have never thought for themselves. They are just another herd of people, albeit moving in a different direction. Their actions did nothing to improve this country, but rather the contrary. Like spider said, it was a cult of hedonism and selfishness. Change and progress are not synonymous.

I say:

Because drugs existed loooonngggg before the hippie movement, that excuses their use? Murderers existed long before Ted Bundy, Timothy McVeigh, and Pol Pot, but don't you think the world would have been a better place without them?

The hippies didn't give a damn about any U.S. soldiers, sailors, airmen, or Marines. They spit on them coming home. Lefty factory workers produced dud grenades and shells to give the commies an upper hand at the expense of American lives. Many American soldiers died because of the actions of self-identifying hippies. Their hearts were with the reds and that is why they protested, not because they cared about U.S. soldiers dying.

It's December 7th, so lets all take a few moments to remember the lives that were lost as a result of this underhanded attack on the naval base at Pearl Harbor.

Yep the hippie counter-culture truly was a step forward for America. Flag burning, smoking pot, aversion to soap, promiscuous sex without regard to gender; all great contributions of the hippie movement.

Woodstock itself really accomplished a lot. A festival celebrating crappy music and drug use really got a lot done in terms of positive social change.

Oh and what exactly did JFK or RFK do for the common man?
