What page posted this?
I probably deserve a ban for the title. Speak freely.
Can someone enlighten me as to who "Elena Burns" is?
Please do not spam her facebook, we are better than that.
With freedom comes responsibility- you are accountable for what you say and do... Just pointing that out. Say something insidious and inflammatory like this, on a public social medium, reap the whirlwind. I won't say anything to her, but I cannot say for anyone else who sees what she posted.
The whole Dudley working more to bash the NRA instead of the combined effort we need right now. Fed up with the doom and gloom "The NRA isn't doing this and that" bullshit. That's why we're losing, because the dems can set aside some differences and unite against guns.
"...not just going on their stupid vacations around the world." [facepalm]
wow, just wow
Please keep your Facebook out of our COAR! If I wanted Facebook I would sign up for it.[fail]
Makes me mad when I read something like this.
I don't watch the Daily Show, but I remember a bit they did a few years back where they had all these code pink types protesting in front of a Marines recruiting center.
The interviewer was kind of gaining their trust, getting them to talk about having the right to free speech, and right to protest, and that those rights need be protected. And then he said, "Wouldn't it be great if there were an organization out there that defended those rights?" And of course they were like "Oh yeah, that would be fantastic! They should do that! (the government should create an organization that does that)"
If you can't stand behind our military, feel free to stand in front of it!
Gah. I don't like that word.
Posts like Elena's make me angry and offended. I looked at her Facebook; she's a college student in Georgia. Apparently a number of people have exercised their 1st Amendment rights and have bent her ear; she's closed up much of her account.
Aside from the noise pollution, I can't take much of what she says very seriously. Is it a shame that she's apparently drunk the kool-aid? Damn skippy. She's clearly privileged and is sheltered from the big bad world by being wholly indoctrinated in The Sims: College, instead of understanding what's really going on. I'm thinking she's never experienced hardship, strife, hard work, threats of war and so on. She's simply another high-spirited punk that swallows anything the media feeds her and is likely shocked that people don't agree with her.
I think I pity her, more than anything else. People that don't understand that the gift of freedom has been made to them through the sacrifices of others, are definitely poorer for it.
Shame on her. It's through shame and other attacks on the ego that this type of person learns; I hope that a veteran will be able to see if her words are as brave face-to-face as they are with the semi-anonymity of the net. Messages to her Facebook will only provide her validation and vindication.
Let her make as much noise as she likes. She's exercising her rights, and she will reap what she sows because of it. I expect there'll be some extreme mortification in her future. She is an annoying mosquito, and takes nothing away from our appreciation of our troops.
I understand how some will receive her spewing as a personal insult. She deserves your wrath IMHO, but I don't forget that she has the freedom to speak her ignorant filth and that she must be willing to stand behind her words and accept the repercussions of her actions, stance, words, etc.
I agree with you 100% Sawin, but she apparently doesn't realize that right is protected by the same people she bashes. I had a run in with a lady in front of the Whitehouse while I was on leave from Edgewood during AIT. She saw my dog tags and started calling us babykillers and poured her water bottle on one of my roommates, before I could even get a word out, he was in her face screaming and before he was done she started to cry so we pulled him away. I have no tolerance for that crap.
Just keep the snapshot of her rant and send it to any organization she is affiliated with or seeks employment with. All you have to say is, "are you affiliated with this person?"
HAHA [LOL] I'm surprised Jim hasn't stepped in yet
Yep out of the blue, she poured it on my roommate Hill while screaming baby killer. Everyone was staring at us, a couple people even applauded Hill after the fact
Says the one who called her a cunt. If you didn't have any intention of what you seek, you would have never posted in the first place.
I don't do face plant, never have, never will. Her actions / words are only made possible. WITH OUT RETRIBUTION [ by being dragged out of her home and stoned to death] because of those she condemns.
Well Hill mostly
