Or are we tax payers and citizens just so screwed now? Comment by Jimmy the Geek — May 28, 2007 @ 3:34 am See if that reasoning gets ya onto a military base. Terrorists who are living in the U.S. are paying taxes, too. Does that give them the right to have access to military installations? You don't want any form of national ID. Again, good for terrorists. How are you going to make sure terrorists aren't among your protestors? Wouldn't that just be a terrorist's dream to walk onto a military campus escorted by loonie liberal American protestors. How do ya think that would play on al Jazeera, bud? Protest all you want. People who have a reason for being there have to enter and exit the campus don't they? They'll still have to drive by your signs. You just won't be able to disrupt the graduation. Oddly enough, most folks wouldn't consider disrupting the graduation to be supporting the troops. And liberals have done a fair job so far of claiming to support the troops. Why would ya want to risk losing that kind of advantage by putting anti-war loons right next to West Point grads? That's just asking to have the loon's true colors shine through. ;) How about the fact that the event was paid for with tax dollars, the institution itself is paid for with tax dollars and all the people there are paid salaries by the tax payer… does that make it into a public event?

The phrase "dungaree liberty", for example, is one that only an ex swabby or jarhead is likely to use. What surprises me is that you didn't make a career of it. Weren't you invited to "ship over" when your enlistment was up? Or did your "shipmates" throw a blanket party for you, to encourage your return to civilian life? Can't wait to hear more about it...
