Moonbats Honor Their Protectors
From yesterday's Anchorage Daily News:
Vandals dumped a bucket of red paint on a downtown veterans memorial this morning, the fifth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, in what police suspect was a symbolic act of protest. Passers-by spotted the blood-toned paint on the Anchorage Veterans Memorial, in the Delaney Park Strip off I Street, during the morning commute and reported it to police. The soldier's helmet was blood red, with the paint dripping down to the ground below. […]
The statue was cleaned off by early afternoon, with only a hint of a reddish hue staining the greening copper shaped into a soldier holding a carbine. The blood-colored paint stained the snow beneath a placard that is part of the monument: "To those Alaska veterans whose eyes have seen what the protected will never know."
Another one to file under "But They Support the Troops."
Hat tip: Free Republic, on a tip from Cheetah.

"To those Alaska veterans whose eyes have seen what the protected will never know."
ironic...don't ya think?
I saw a History Channel show about the Alaska natives who spearheaded the way to kick the Japanese out of the Aleutians in WWII (the only time the Japanese set foot on US soil). Truely an inspirational story. I wonder if these vandals know anything about that part of Alaska history?

Oil for the taking. Except Cuba will get it first.

Enough is enough.
Its time to start kicking ass.
We need to stand up for the veterans on this one and dish out some justice on the fucking cowards who attacked a damn monument.

It was always a thin veneer, this "We support the troops!" charade. Behind it, is the same sickening childish narcissism, and inability either to sacrifice or honor others' sacrifice, that started with the Summer Of Love hippies and is now continuing with their kids...and their kids

Right before New Years, a South American street gang vandalized the Viet Nam Veteran's memorial, in New Haven, CT, with red spray paint. This is the sort of thing that should make law enforcement want to make it open season on these vandals! If they got a but full of rock salt doing this crap, they would think twice before they did it again. It is a disgrace!

Good! Very, very good!

Thankfully, no one in this country will ever raise a monument to anti-American protesters.

Hoosiermom,
My cats leave a monument to the trolls everyday in their litterbox.

They're like children who've never been disclipined. They want their way all the time and when they don't get it, they throw a hissy fit. They don't like the rules, so they whine, "Its not fair!". If the parents of most of these brats had played a drum solo on their rear ends when they were younger, things might be better.
