toldailytopic: Memorial Day: why is it special to you?
TOL Topic of the Day - Chime In!Every day we will post a new topic and we want to get your comments on that topic. The topic could be about literally anything from the vague to the specific, important or trivial. The TOL membership can take that topic and run with it!
Is it freedom to have what you earn taken and given to someone else?
You have a screwed up view of freedom.
Now back to the regularly scheduled thread.
Praise God for the men and women who were brave enough and loved this country enough to sacrifice themselves for our freedom.
A further reply to your stupid remark above. If you have a problem with folks like me complaining about abuses of freedom here in America, then maybe you should go live in Saudi Arabia or Syria where such speech is not allowed. Maybe you'd feel better there.
Your idea of freedom amounts to free enterprise. That is totally screwed up. Freedom is not free enterprise, and money is a government program. Taxes you pay go to social programs that will benefit you and your friends if you should fall on hard times. That is freedom, not the screwy trickle-down economics that you believe in. That is freedom for the rich only.
A man will show his true colors in his actions defending that which he holds dear.
It is good that you would not endanger yourself in order any one else may enjoy freedom, many have sacrificed so that you may be able to set back and disrespect their actions.
Well done young American!
It is so much more respectful of soldiers to actively resist the policies that get them killed in stupid and unnecessary wars like those you and your Republican politicians support and create, than to support sending them off to those stupid wars. Not so well-done young man.
Well said. May God save us! This is an example of "entitlement sit-in and suck off of society" mentality.
American freedom has been a beacon around the world throughout history because our heroes have paid the price to maintain it.
Our heroes were sent into wars which were mostly about not maintaining it.
You have been sooo mistreated, I'm sure you'll enjoy your next home....if you can find one that will listen to your whining.
There are plenty of people here who will listen to his whining, and mine. That is the only thing that makes America, America. If you don't like the whining, go live in an authoritarian country, rather than trying like your Republican friends to make this country authoritarian.

You didnt read the thread title did you.
Memorial Day: why is it special to you?
Its not special to you in any way obviously so why are you here?
Oh thats right, extreme liberals believe everything is about them or should be. Either that or you are a complete moron who cant read or understand what they read. Take your pick.

And I thought the flower child movement died out years ago...San Jose California and a liberal...who would have thought!
Are you even old enough to remember that era?

I'm slicing and dicing the topic as I choose. The real heroes we most need to remember are the activists who worked for peace and freedom here in America.

There would be no America without those who fought and died to achieve liberty.

False. Liberty and a new nation could have been achieved more gradually without revolution. The South could have been allowed to secede. The threats of WWII were caused by our actions and others in WWI. Arguably, it was mostly about our allies' freedom and not ours. All the other wars were wars of conquest, not defenses of our freedom.

Well the keiser of WW1 was not much better than hitler lol. I think if we had not interveined we would have been forced into the war on our own soil after britian was taken over. Then the fight would be over malta, the azors and other islands to stage out of since all of our carriers were in the pacific.
