MoveOn Launches 'Cost of War' Campaign

Written by Nathan Burchfiel, CNSNews.com Staff Writer

The anti-war group MoveOn launched a campaign on Thursday to highlight the cost of the Iraq war for individual congressional districts. MoveOn hopes the plan will motivate the districts' residents to petition their representatives to vote for a troop withdrawal.

"We've already spent $456 BILLION on the war so far," the group said in an e-mail encouraging members to attend one of the 150 planned rallies around the country. "We've learned that when we remind voters of the costs of the Iraq war -- and all the important priorities that we can't afford because of it -- they're more likely to push Congress to end the war quickly."

The group of liberal activists is encouraging its members to lobby their senators and representatives to pledge support for a troop withdrawal before they return to Washington, D.C., in September after the August recess.

My rebuttal to the MoveOn.org campaign is simple ..... "Liberal Nation" repeatedly dishonors the fallen hero's of this war by reducing their loss to monetary figures! How "shallow" and "common" you all are - you should all be ashamed!!

What you should be asking is, How much less would the cost of the war have been, and how much faster would we have pulverized the Islamo-fascists ..... had you let the United States military fight the war unrestrained, without criticism, and without your daily harassment and condemnation of everything we are trying to do?

To MoveOn.org and all "Liberal Nation" supporters .... there's a reason this is called a free society; because brave people continue to fight and died for your right to criticize it. Freedom is never free, and if you're not willing to fight for your own freedom, don't condemn those of us who are. Remember too, in this country, you & your ilk and Mr. Soros have the absolute right to exercise your opposition to America's policies - by leaving it. Time for you to "Beat Feet!" As the great Ernie Capadino once said, "No skin off my ashtabula!"

I'll even help you pack and drive you to the border! Don't let "Old Glory" slap you across the ass on the way out!

Dum Spiro Spero!
