Marines NOT Welcome- COMPLETELY WRONG!

I must vent about this...

Marines are not welcome

This is absolutely horrendous. I cannot believe that our government is standing for this. This is a complete outrage. I believe that any city that stands for dishonouring our government, military (including our servicemen), or our laws should be federally reprimanded including and up to being cut off from federal funding. Anyone that swears into a governmental office at a local or state level and openly stands against anything that is instituted and/or endorsed by the federal government should be removed from office and given severely punished with a prison stint or (in my opinion) executed for treason. Yes, I do mean that. It is absolutely wrong that a state, city, or person in office can commit such crimes, yes, crimes.

My personal viewpoint on the Iraq war, as most of you know, is not one that would usually be associated with the above comments. I do, however, support and appreciate all our troops do. They are not only doing their job, they are protecting that which was built by those who came before them. Anyone who walks into a recruiting office knows the dangers that may lay ahead. It does not matter what war we are fighting. They are obeying the orders of their Commander-in-Chief and a war that was approved by the House and Senate- therefore, approved by the people. If you come out in public and picket the war, the troops, or the government then you should be either placed in custody and sit in a jail for a while or be hanged or shot on the spot. Being unpatriotic is, in my eyes, is the same as treason. That said, being unpatriotic (not supporting your country) should land you in jail, prison, or on the gallows.
