I thought this was pretty interesting. (http://www.rowboatvets.com)

That was funny.

Q: Is it true that each member of Rowboat Vets for Truth received, as payment from Duke Rove, a parcel of land in rich Virginia tobacco country, as well as 20 slaves?
A: Why do you hate freedom?


LMAO!

interesting how the open minded Echo2 sees this funny but sees a similar ad about footbalfans for truth stupid and ridiculous becuase it happens to be anti kerry, they are both jokes. ya, your mind works best when open, whatever psycho

I noticed that too, Trav.

Patriotism needs to be truthfully defined. Throughout this election, there have been some respectable, distinguished Vietnam War veterans who have criticized Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry’s actions after his four months of military service. The issue at stake is not whether John Kerry spoke out against the very war he served in, accused others of committing atrocities, or met with North Vietnamese officials in Paris; he did. But, first, is it treasonous to meet with enemy officials in order to negotiate the release of fellow Americans? Certainly not if the American prisoners were freed and the terms of agreement were fair, it is not. The spin from Kerry’s enemies only goes to show that they would try anything to link Kerry to Jane Fonda, whose methods I would not approve of.
Secondly, one cannot say that he had no right to bring to light the actions of a few perverted, conceited people who in no way represented the United States military as a whole. War is hell; it can turn a few smart, intelligent minds into overambitious ones. It can stir never before suffered emotions in a soldier. Sometimes, the emotional effects of war can climb its way up the line of duty. The Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal is a perfect example of how war transforms people for the worse.
Finally, one can also not say that John Kerry had no right, even as an American soldier, to question the validity of the war he fought in for the sake of bringing fellow troops back to safety. For if we do, then that means no one has the right to speak his or her mind and that the government’s authority must never be questioned. And if the authority of governments is considered infallible, then that nullifies our justification of declaring independence from the British monarch, King George III, back in 1776. The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are free to speak their minds about John Kerry’s record, but the American people do not want to sit down and hear anyone vilify the founding principles of the United States of America.
Likewise, it is not unpatriotic to call for reforms in the Patriot Act in order to ensure that civil liberties are still held to the highest degree. It is also not un-American to oppose the means of going to war in Iraq. (We all agreed that Saddam Hussein should go, but how to do so is the issue.) If you cannot arrest a murderer with charges of connections to the mafia without the evidence to back the claims, then how can we convict Saddam Hussein on charges of orchestrating the attacks of September 11th without the proof? President Bush went to war with a faulty arrest warrant. If our country’s arrest warrant is faulty, then how can we be viewed as a credible leader to the world—not just to “Old Europe”, but to the people of “New Europe”, the people of East Asia, the people of the Muslim world, the people of the world? Governments might sway world opinion, but the governed are the ones who actually define it.
Senator Kerry has real solutions: a tax plan that helps the middle and working classes, a health care plan that helps those in need, and a foreign policy plan that can improve the situation in Iraq, reconcile with the people of the world, and win the war against the terrorists. John Kerry is a proven patriot. Patriotism should not be restricted to supporting a current government or its policies; it should go beyond the scope of government and politics.

I thought it was pretty funny too.
