How Mike Moran feels about it.

I'm a Veet-nam vet. Any other vet I know agrees with me: Kerry is a sellout and a traitor. He gave comfort to the enemy just a surely as did Hanoi Jane.

http://www.insignificantthoughts.com/index.php?p=31 has group behind the flak over the ads, also noticing who bankrolls them, is it any surprise?

I hate group identification. I'm a veteran, but don't have identical views as all vets. I mentioned my views of this here if you are interested. Diversity does not relate to skin color! Unions don't grasp the concept.

I am a professional fire fighter, a card carrying, dues paying member of the IAFF.
After reading about the comments made by the union president, Harold Shitburger, er...Schaitberger, I have never been so ashamed to be a member. I would also like to point out that no one ever asked me. About what I thought of Bush's ad or about supporting Kerry. Bush has every right to use images of 9/11 in his campaign. He was president at the time and his leadership since that day has been outstanding.
I can also tell you that most of the guys on my platoon support the war in Iraq. I don't agree with all of Bush's domestic policies, but he's doing the right thing by taking the fight to our enemies, instead of waiting for them to bring it to us, again. Kerry would have us sit on our asses and wait for another 9/11. And then what? He'd arrest them? Of course that won't help the people who die in the next attack. A defensive war cannot be won. As Patton once said "If the mountains and oceans can be overcome, then anything built by man can be overcome."
Whether Saddam had WMD's is irrelevant. Iraq is an object lesson to all those who would thumb their noses at us by attacking us or supporting those that do. I liken Iraq to a giant bug zapper we put in the neighbor's yard. Every jihady and would be martyr is flocking there to get a shot the "evil American Army". And while they're doing that they are not here in the states hijacking planes and detonating car bombs.
I lost 343 of my brothers on 9/11, along with 3000 civilians. In my opinion, we don't see those images enough.
NEVER FORGIVE, NEVER FORGET!

I've been a professional firefighter for ten years. Prior to that I spent eight years in the Army. Firefighters across the nation are disgusted with Harold Shaitberger and the union management. As connected as we are to the union, we are leaving it in record numbers. Many are staying and trying to make a statement from within. We will not tolerate a union that puts political and economic interests before our liberty.

We have recieved more funding under the current administration than any that have come before it. 400% more than in Clintons last term.

This is an argument we use against the union's rhetoric but it isn't the essence of why we support President Bush. This is a time for us to unite in our war on terror. This is a time for us to ask what we can do to help our communities and our country. This is not a time to use 9-11 for political and economic leverage. We support the war on terror waged in response to the loss of over 2000 civilians and our 343 brothers and sisters on 9-11. We are not under any false illusion of the realities of war or the fact that we are in this for the long hall. Firefighters are no stranger to tragedy, death, and service to country. We support our President and are proud of his leadership in this war on terror. If you think this is some propaganda letter read the upwards of 1000 post in the guest book at firefightersforbush.com
It's a pleasure and an honor to serve!!!
