Wow never heard that one from the left yet, lol.

How about 9/11

Is that a catastrophe? No disrespect to any Military families but if you want to throw bombs use some real numbers. Figure up the dead from WWII, figure the dead in the concentration camps, figure the dead in the Civil War, I mean while this Iraq War is taking lives I don't think it compares to some other wars.

Now if your talking money then you got a point!

While that is a VERY important statistic, and I'm saddened by every loss, please DON'T discount the deaths caused by Islamo-Nazi TERRORISTS......

This is the BEST single source I've found

We FIGHT to protect our way of LIFE.......Islamic TERRORISTS want to eliminate our way of life.

Don't try to disrespect the ones that protect you. They are the reason that you don't have to worry about ied's when you drive to work. The did their job proudly, and they did it well! They went without question in harms way to protect your right to have your opinion voiced freely!

This is meant as no disrespect to anyone who lost loved one's in 9-11 or the war on terror, which is a neccessary evil. This is only meant to lighten the mood, but I think something that should be on the list is Steve Kragthorpe!

Nice joke Tim. Did you see the paper today. Ol' Steve missed a meeting with some high school coaches. The article said the message did not get relayed that he could not attend. Sounds fishy to me.
