George,
How is my attack Cowardly? I’m not hiding. I will make that statement to anyone’s face. Just show up.
It isn’t sacrifice to be so stupid, that you kill innocents abroad just because someone in DC tells you to. You have a brain, use it. Just say no to murder.
Nazi’s used the same argument,” they told me to do it”,” I was just following orders”.
Well you better hope we don’t lose one, because that is the reason the nazi’s were imprisoned after Nuremberg. Bush and Cheney are still being referred to as war criminals all over the world- they can’t visit Spain for fear of arrest.
The only turd bomb here is falling from your lips.

Thank you Joe. I know this is a coin blog, but it just boils my blood when someone throws out a turd-bomb like “Why glorify murder”, when speaking of our armed forces, and then has the audacity to say: “Hey, I didn’t start this little rabble rousing” when we naturally take exception to such a cowardly attack against our veterans. Coin blog, or no coin blog, I WILL take up for our veterans wherever I see them insulted.
Hey Ronnie; what do you think about gold values falling? I still have my Lucy Hayes UNC, and am wondering if I should sell or hold?

It all depends if the woodchuck actually loves his country enough to appreciate the sacrifices made by those who fought to plant the trees, save the forest from destruction by fire & axe, and help him transport the fruits of his efforts along the road to market.

Shawn, To find happiness in life:
Buy your own Island. Live by your ideals.

Run your shorts up the flag pole (we will all salute).

But watch out for pirates. You may need US protection.

George Washington was the largest landowner and richest man in America. His beef with George III was simple: the King had signed into law a guarantee that all land west of the appalachins belonged to the Native Americans.
Washington made his money through land speculation and this would have stopped him cold, especially with his investments in the Ohio Valley.
Most of the convention members wanted Washington to be KIng, especially Ben Franklin, who preferred a king. Granted, he declined, but mainly for economic reasons, to pursue his investments in land development at the expense of the native americans.
Try to keep it in perspective and please read some history people.
George, Freedom isn’t free, nor is it paid in the blood of innocents, conned into two world wars we had no need to enter , the Spanish American war to steal the resources of the Phillipines, Nicaragua and more.
Now, I didn’t start this little rabble rousing, but if you’re going to bleed red, white and blue, do it on your own rug. I’m just not that insipid.

Washington…”the common, received opinion, which under proper limitations is certainly true, that Standing Armies are dangerous to a state”.
“It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world”.
“The Jealousies of a standing Army, and the Evils to be apprehended from one, are remote; and, in my judgment, situated and circumstanced as we are, not at all to be dreaded; but the consequence of wanting one, according to my Ideas, formed from the present view of things, is certain, and inevitable Ruin; for if I was called upon to declare upon Oath, whether the Militia have been most serviceable or hurtful upon the whole; I should subscribe to the latter.”
And from James Madison, 4th president…”A standing army is one of the greatest mischief that can possibly happen.”
