In Actual Practice However, Dissent IS Un-American

Banner Slogan: Dissent Is Not Un-American

I received this photo from a friend of mine along with the message:

I saw this and told myself, "Self, a picture does speak a thousand words" The single biggest source of anger and sadness for me is that the great majority of folks out there confuse dissent with patriotism; they are not mutually exclusive.

The problem with that theory is that the dissenters are always doing stuff like this:

Burining A US Soldier and Flag In Effigy

And this from Milwaukee last night:

Police have arrested four people and are questioning about 20 more in connection with vandalism that took place at an east side Army recruiting office Monday night.

Officers were called to the 3100 block of Oakland Ave. around 8 p.m., where Iraq War protesters clad in black, carrying torches and wearing ski masks were reportedly setting off smoke bombs and throwing paint as they approached an Army recruiting center on the block, said Sgt. Eric Pfeiffer, of the Milwaukee Police Department.

Someone threw an object through the recruitment center's window and spread what appears to be human waste inside before running off, Pfeiffer said.

No, the majority of folks are not confused at all. The know exactly what's going on.

These people are not anti-war; They are fully engaged in their war.
