Message | What the machine said. |
Date | 03:30:51, August 11, 2007 CET | From | Capitalist Working Families | To | Debating the Military Enforcement Act |
Message | (1) We along with a grand coalition of the Militarist and Neo-Whigs ousted the Socialist Party out of POWER; the people have spoken that they prefer CAPITALISM; (2) Any attempt by the Gov't to draft CIVILIANS---[not prisoners serving Life Imprisonment]---into the military amounts to Governmental SLAVERY and we are opposed. Besides, FORCED service only hinders the MORALE of the Military. I trust the advice of the Generals in "mud n' boots" before the Chicken Hawks like General Colin Polin of the U.S. Army and then-Captain of the Navy, John McCain. (3) Are you SERIOUS or just delusional??? We support Free Trade but arms just simply CANNOT be sold to Osama Bin Laden by profiteers. |
