To Jane. Well said! I don’t know what the problem is, but we’ve seemed to have become a nation of instant gratification, and no guts for the unavoidable decisions we have to make to protect our people and our freedom. I seriously worry that our country can no longer come together as one in the face of danger, because certain elements can not see the danger. Maybe there is just too much so called information provided by a media dedicated only to ratings and money. Embedded journalists???? What kind of insanity is that??? Why don’t you just send the enemy an email, or make a phone call and tell them what our troops are doing? Maybe, just maybe, the media shares a majority of the blame for the length of this war. ?

I have always admired Sally Field. She is a very good actress. I have always thought she was good at her job.
I was sorely disappointed with her comment at the Emmy’s. I have never understood why our society listens to the actors/actresses when they expound about political ideas. These actors have a skewed vision of the world. They do not live in reality 80% of their lives. Why would we think that they have a grip on something that impacts us and is this important.
My son is in the Army, obviously by choice. I am very proud of him and all those who are serving at this time. The sentiment that has poured over this land that we should stop fighting because there have been enough casualties on our side. That’s what war is….. we lost 3,000 on 9.11 and were galvanized together at that time. Why have we lost our focus so much that we will let the fanatical islamics win????? Once one of our country men or soldiers have lost their lives, it should bring us all together and make us stronger than ever to WIN. We are the strongest, richest, most creative nation in the world. Why would you think we cannot win this battle. It was never going to be easy… it was never going to be quick. If you thought that, you were forgetting how these people work. They lay in wait for you to drop your guard and then strike. They do not value life – they martyr it.
Is that what you want to leave your children? A world dominated by these types of religious fanatics???? I certainly don’t. I pray every day for our troops safety but as each generation that went to war knows, we have to fight the devil where it stands. History has taught us that much.

Was Catherine the Great a mother?

Sally Fields should spend more time in history books to determine whether what she wants to say has merit, or not.

Regardless of whether or not I agree with her, she sounded as reality stupid as any of her ilk who disregard the facts about any number of issues.

In response to Sally Field, I point to…

Laura Bush (4/25/07): “And believe me, no one suffers more than their president and I do when we watch [the news about the war].”

Mothers, fathers, non-parents, whomever. That status has nothing to do with why wars, especially voluntary ones, begin. It has everything to do with callous individuals completely divorced from the real costs and sacrifices that their policies require.

To Teejate. My comment that we are all going to die has nothing to do with whether or not you or anyone else supports sending troops to Iraq. It is a simple fact. If someone dies in support of a cause they believe in, and that they knowingly volunteered for, imho, that’s not a bad way to go, and certainly is contrary to all the drama about the war being portrayed by the Hollywood liberals, and Cindy Sheenan, who’s son, by the way, believed in the war and enlisted. My point is, that since we are mortal, there are much worse ways of dying than dying in doing something you believe in. Any other questions?

I will no longer be supporting her in any way, that’s for sure. It’s ok to state your openion on things like the war, but the way she did it was not. She could have stated her openion in a much better and more classy way and she should have.
But, the fact that she came against the name of God is the reason I will no longer support her in any way. That is just something you don’t do! (of course that’s just my openion) I will not support anyone who comes against the name of God in any way wither it’s something they’ve said or done. It was wrong of her to do, especially on national television. I will certainly never be watching anything she’s in.
Say what you will, but that’s my openion and I’m sticking to it!

Sally had the courage to speak her mind, on the sixty seconds of broadcasted fame. When I read personal attacks in some replies here, it convinces me that she was right to grab the moment. Go and attack the messenger, because there is no way to argument the message.
As for FOX, fear is what I fear.

I always thought Sally Field was a classy lady, but she proved otherwise. Protests against the war don’t bother me. We are all different and have different views which we are all free to express in this country (God bless every soldier and vet who’s fought for that). But what a foul mouth Sally has. It would have been more beneficial for her and her cause to have made an intelligent argument instead of ranting like an insane incoherent lunatic. What a let-down for all her adoring fans. Sally’s second chance at fame, has left us with a bad taste in our mouths. …wish she’d stay (at the imposed)”retired.”
