I suppose your next culprits will be the Dixie Chicks, Willie Nelson, Ben Affleck, etc.
FoxNews reports that even Toby Keith has problems with the War On Iraq. Wait a minute,,,,,,,,even Toby Keith reports that he has a problem with the War On Iraq. Strike that.
I repeat, I don't know of a single Hollywood type or any even regional entertainer that does not support our troops. The implication that not supporting the War On Iraq is tantamount to non-support of the troops is dishonest at best and a damned lie for purely political purposes or somewhere in the middle. Even I shudder at the thought of what I would consider the worst in that scenario. Believe me, martin, I don't have much for anyone that would place a single American troop in harms way when they weren't willing to place themselves in the same line of fire for the good they hope to achieve from the death of that American soldier.
Im spefically talking about entertainers who put their money where their mouth is so to speak, denzel washington, gary senise, they give money to the troops.
We need more entertainers to go over to iraq and afghanistan and entertain the troops, words are meaningless.
Even mark cuban, donates money to the troops, but time is even more important
I like toby keith, and robin williams, i have no problem with their views on iraq.
Rosie o donell and sean penn, have said things that are untrue, and have potential to hurt our troops, they are entitled to be against the war, but if they lie, or distort the truth, then i have a problem, simplying disagreeing is not a criminal act
not agreeing with the war does NOT mean, hating/not supporting the troops
my bottom line: i think those with celebrity owe it to their country to go to iraq and afghanistan and entertain the troops. Give back to the country that made you what you are.
thats all.
in conclusion I think we agree, and furthermore I find that the questioning of people's patriotism simply for god forbid, thinking for themselves, and not being blind sheep, un-american, and borderline fascist.
I used to believe you had to support the mission to support the troops, and gladly raise my hand for the dunce cap.
I think we basically agree here no?

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."
Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)

The invasion of Afghanistan, although too long delayed after 9/11, was justified as the Taliban actively supported and harbored Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda. It was an action against an enemy which had struck America and killed her citizens.
The invasion of Iraq, on the other hand, was nothing more than Chimpy McPresident working off his chubby for Saddam, under the flimsiest of pretexts.
Fascism has come to America, wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross. His name is Trump.
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. - George Orwell...The New GOP motto.
I thought those who hijacked the airplanes were Saudi nationals? Are you implying it's ok to invade foreign nations where suspected terrorists are, where said nations had nothing to do with the attacks on 9/11, in order to seek out and kill or capture the terrorists? Should the UN governing body vote on this and give explicit permission to invade?
