Freedom of (Whose) Speech?

Got in an argument with some clowns on YouTube. It's okay for them to attack our soldiers, our beliefs, but if I say something in defense, they get nasty. We paid for your right to speak!! Grrrrrrrrr


Poem Artwork

... stepped on toes, I see.  Well, you
stomped mine first:  still hurts.  Got a
little too close to your comfort zone,
so you throw up a defensive pen and

gun accusations, spraying your vitriol
of hatred like bullets.  All I did was
watch a video on YouTube and read
your comment, they deserved to die

because they shouldn't be there in
the first place. 
All I did was stand
up for my brothers and sisters who
died in the war.  All I said was that

the enemy uses their own as incendiary
devices while our soldiers are getting
charged.  You cut them down again
with, ... learn a few things about

imperialism before preaching your
right wing horseshit. 
Oh, really:
wrote back, we did it for you so you
wouldn't have to.  Have a nice day.

Your response?  ...don't get all
arrogant on me now like i owe you
something. 
Actually, you do:  we gave
you the right to speak.  Thank you?!?

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (11/12)

What they say about wearing someone's shoes in order to see their point of view is true. They didn't wear the shawl of responsibility like you did, Karla, so don't let their opinions weigh you down. Love and Hugs,
Sheila

Oh, Karla... That is just too sad! You are right...you, and so many like you, DID give of yourself for them and for their rights. Kudos to you. Someday maybe they will understand what that right really means to them.

Those are the brats too coward to defend their homes and less to defend their country.
They have became a generation of gimme-gimme-gimme without giving nothing in return. Takers, no givers, and many of our brothers ans sisters died so that kind of vermin could live?

I had hoped the end of the election would bring that to an end - but I guess it's something that will always be with us.

KARLA - GOOD ON YOU GAL! PHOQ 'EM !

If I have learned anything, at age 68, it is:

You can't argue with a DRUNK!
You can't argue with an IDIOT!
You can't argue with a MAL-CONTENT!

NOW - Smooth out and settle your Feathers - take a DeeeeeeeeP Breath - and then -
SCREAM OUT AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS - PHOQ 'EM !!!

Then, you'll feel better - GAR-AN-TEED ! Cayjun ? TK.

Give him hell, Karla. I and a lot of others are with you.
I hate war as much (or more) than the next guy, but I also
love our freedom of speech and thought. Love, gene.

Clowns like that have absolutely no brains, or any respect, for what our brave military men and women have paid for with their sacrifices! I love how you said, "we did it so you wouldn't have to". Very well penned; brava! *SALUTE*

And thank YOU for serving!! You have my utmost gratitude! :)

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :)

Brava Karla! You surely have the right to defend yourself and fought for that right while your opponent selfishly decided he was the only one who had rights,and took them for granted without doing anything but complaining! Glad you said what you did and sorry you had to be offended by the jerks who want everything for nothing,and do nothing to deserve anything!

Love,
Eileen

Wow, Karla. You have responded very clearly to someone whose doesn't seem to understand the whole idea of two sides to every issue. I think you've written very well, as always. Eileen
