Patriots on Veterans Day
Posted by Dave Blount at November 12, 2005 10:46 AM
Some holidays don't mean much more than a day off for the mailman, but Veterans Day has profound significance to anyone with even the vaguest notion of how lucky we are to live in this country, and the debt we owe to those who have fought to keep it free. Yesterday some honored the day actively, by attempting to remove a desecration from a veterans cemetery in New England. Five patriots were arrested for their efforts.
Moonbats had planted 2,000 white flags — the international symbol of surrender — at the edge of the Veterans Memorial Park in Waterville, Maine to wring propaganda out of the 2,000th death of American soldiers in Iraq. The flags were accompanied by signs reading ''War Is Not the Answer," ''2000 Soldiers Killed in Iraq How Many More?" and ''100,000 Iraqis Died as a Result of This War How Many More?" The third of these was taken down due to citizens' outrage, but the others remain.
Obscenely, disrespectful kooks belonging to the Waterville Area Bridges for Peace and Justice were granted a permit to insult the memories of those who lay in the cemetery. Their little flags went up on October 30, and are to stay until the first heavy snow. The annual Veterans Day parade had to be rerouted, since it normally ends at the cemetery. Instead, the parade yesterday ended in a parking lot.
The fifth-columnists who placed the flags responded to the controversy by pretending that white flags represent "truth."
