I've never agreed with right wingers. I may have misplaced my comment. I meant I could never have that guy as a friend.

Would agree with this traitorist bullshit?

All that's missing is the confederate flag.

and thought, yeah that's right: if they really were fighting for my freedom it would be a war defending our country instead of attacking a country like Iraq that posed no threat to us. But then I realized it was just anti-Obama crap.

that your friend seems to think are not worth fighting.

Obama ended the Iraq war and is trying to wind down the Afghanistan war.

So tell your friend that in reality his picture is an attack against Bush policies.

supported the Bush administration? Maybe his friend is one of those really right wing people that doesn't support the Obama build up in Afghanistan or the Patriot and other Obama admin adopted policies libertarian type Republicans hate. No where in the pic did it say the white house being attacked was Obama's white house.

The picture is just a starting point.

It's always worthwhile to dig deeper and see what the person posting means by it. Oftentimes RWers don't necesarily think too deeply about the memes they post.
