War Protesters Whine "Nobody Cares"

They call those of us in America that aren't like them, those who believe that we are at war with Radical Islam and need the current conflict to eliminate as many of these terrorists and their ilk that the military possibly can "apathetic", and usually a lot worse than that, even directing their hatred to the very protectors of the country and our often taken for granted freedoms like the nuts below.

I call them often times "crazy" and "subversives" along with other non printable adjectives, so to each his own I say, as it's a free country and we are all free to make our feelings known to the world, in legal and peaceful manner, which the left often doesn't accomplish as the above photo shows as I do daily through the use of this blog.

But to spend one's life as many of these protesters often do traveling around the country carrying sings and complaining about this or that during a time of war shows the enemy exactly what they play to and I would never choose to be on the side that's against the interests of the United States which in this case I believe the present war to be for the basic reason stated above.

I don't exactly agree with the way it's been fought, in my opinion we've been too passive in sending the message that terrorism will not be tolerated to any degree in this country and any other hiding place in the world, period and have gone out of our way to placate those on the left thus prolonging the current war unnecessarily.

Somebody in this world has to do the heavy lifting and dirty work, a job Americans have often in their history been called upon to both fund which we taxpayers do and to fight which our brave soldiers do in the name of freedom and liberty around the world.

If we don't do it who will?

What history has shown us is no one.

War protesters frustrated by apathy:

Post Gazette.com "Three protesters, a half-dozen signs and a missing petition.

'People walk past and say, 'I'm glad you're doing something,' ' said Marty O'Malley, a Forest Hills council member who has attended more than 100 anti-Iraq war events, as he stood in front of Democratic U.S. Rep. Mike Doyle's Downtown office last week with the small gathering of activists.

'I want to shake them and say, 'Why aren't you doing something!?' '

After $500 billion in spending and 4,000 military deaths, this was supposed to be an election year dominated by the war."

Both Democratic presidential candidates, Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, support a withdrawal, while Sen. John McCain, a Republican, argues that the U.S. risks losing Iraq to terrorist groups and Iranian influence if troops leave before the country is stable.

In Washington, D.C., Congress is preparing to consider President Bush's latest emergency funding package for the fighting, with a price tag of $108 billion.

But a worsening economy has easily overtaken Iraq as the top concern for voters, according to a New York Times/CBS poll released last week. Only 17 percent of respondents picked the war as the "one issue" they'd like to hear the candidates discuss more.

Americans still have strong feelings about the conflict: 62 percent want the next president to pull out of Iraq within a year or two of taking office, the poll said. Yet war opponents and supporters are having trouble getting the publics -- and the media's -- attention.

A March survey from the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press discovered that just 28 percent of Americans knew the approximate number of U.S. deaths in the war.

"Obviously, I wish that the American people were more engaged in understanding what's at stake in Iraq," said Pete Hegseth, who served there with the 101st Airborne Division and is now executive director of Vets for Freedom. "I think it's unfortunate that here on the homefront we're not interested in what's going on overseas." continued here

Many of us are sir, and appreciate all that our veterans have done in this war and all the others they have fought in our names both here and mostly abroad.
