Since the Iraq protesters are much like the Vietnam Protesters....

By -
A Vietnam Veteran friend of mine was mentioning to me today that the war protesting he's seeing today are exectly like the Vietnam protests were for him way back then. In some occasions, such as Jane Fonda, they are the exact same people protesting.

So, for this friend, I'm going old school tonight and dipping in my button collection to bring a blast from the Vietnam Era past - McGovern Pins (as well as a Kit Bond pin)

My dad found researching one of his books that there were 57 different McGovern for President pins authorized by the campaign. Very, very few collectors can claim more than a handful, as far as I've ever seen.

Yes, the protesters are exactly the same, even down to the exact same people, like me, who, 40 years ago, did not believe that a country could make people stop being communists by dropping hot exploding things on them from the air.

I also believe that a country can make people stop being Muslims by dropping hot exploding things on them. Muslims, however, might be able to make a country stop meddling in their day-to-day lives by putting hot exploding things in its soldiers beds as they sleep in the houses they have stolen from the Muslims.

gene:line 1, paragraph 2: don't you mean "can't make"? Also, do you really mean US soldiers steal houses from Muslims? Do you advocate killing US soldiers?

Yes, I meant "can't make".

US forces usurp whatever facilities they think they need. In most cases they probably pay for houses they annex.

My opinion is irrelevant, as is yours. The killing is ongoing.

(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on...
