I think our country has gone mad and is divided. Half who still believe in freedom, another half of “Obama Hippies” hoping that lighting a candle and singing Kum By ya….that the Government will bail them out and make everything okay.

The problem is that those who have done without, sacrificed..and gone through wars know (whom are dying off) ….and what we are left with is a bunch of Gen X’s who seem to think they have some “entitlement” to be bailed out and freedom, unfortunatly because they have never seen real war..or sacrificed.

And yes, I am a Gen X’er……but I recognize the cost of those before me who have “paid” for our freedom.

There is no “free ride Kids”.

Ironic that the people who complain the loudest about the price of freedom are usually the ones who have paid the least.

“Also, to the “Anonymous” exaggerator. If you had a F-18 fly over your head unexpectedly you would immediately fear for your life as well.”

‘Anonymous’ here again. True, it may make me scared simply because it’s a couple of tons of jet fuel and metal that could turn me into a red paste in a heartbeat, but I’m not going to think it’s al Queda like an idiot. My point was that if there’s a boat or air show going on and a plane buzzes by your building (or even if there was nothing going on but an American F-18 flew by) I would NOT think that it was terrorists. I’m not that stupid, and if you do think that then you are in fact stupid. But hey, you guys keep living in your lovely panic-stricken world where Muhammad The Terrorist is around every corner.

More peace, what do you think is the sound of freedom? Personally, I look at the shot heard around the world. Today’s men and women in the military are a direct lineage from yesterdays militia men. The sound of the military that protects our rights as United States citizens should not be something that causes you to be uneasy.

telephoto lens people. Makes distant things look close. Note the panic attack by the resident.

This is what liberty looks like. Without this kind of equipment and skilled patriots to operate it our liberty would be taken away in a heart beat. Go live in South Korea for a while if your think I’m wrong.

Also, to the “Anonymous” exaggerator. If you had a F-18 fly over your head unexpectedly you would immediately fear for your life as well.

“if a fighter jet is ‘the sound of freedom and the image of liberty’ we are in big trouble’

If a fighter jet is “the sound of freedom and the image of liberty” we are in big trouble…
