I'll tell you exactly what shit is!

From Braxton, on Sat, 07 Jun 1997 18:37:00 GMT (in response to: WELCOME HOME!)

    I must say to the writer of "Welcome Home" that 
your posting was simple and wise.  To all former 
hippies who set aside compassion for their own to let 
themselves frolic in a pool of mock-intellectual 
feces, more concerned with their "cool-guy" image and 
"peace and love" philosophy than with "welcoming 
home" brothers, friends and neighbors from a long and 
bloody war, I have one question.  How is it that you 
could have been so completely stupid?  I mean, did 
you really think that the returning infantry soldier 
you spat on had initiated the war or had in any way 
been responsible for the creation of it?  A lot of 
those guys had a very "chevy and apple pie" view of 
the government and came from very patriotic small 
towns with roots of service going back generations.  
You who claimed to be so educated and enlightened 
didn't even have the basic good sense enough to show 
a little respect for the war weary.  No, you were so 
caught up in yourselves and your "God, it's so tough 
to be such a guru of life" mentality that you 
actually thought YOU were the victims.  Any shit-bag 
ex-hippie who has the gall to say "we were all 
victims" should have his jaw wired shut.  I'm so sick 
of hearing that.  "It was a tough time for us all," 
you say.  Well, I disagree, home-boy!  While good men 
walked daily in death's Disney World, the only thing 
you had to fear was getting busted with your dope!  
How in the fuck do you make that connection?  If you 
were as smart as you thought you were you would have 
known that the real culprits of war were and are a 
group of international bankers who finance both sides 
of a given conflict.  War is a money machine for 
these men and they are indeed the eye of the octopus 
of government.  WW1, WW2, the stock market crash, 
VNam, you name it... they are behnd it.  I'll bet you 
didn't know that international bankers in the United 
States financed Hitlers war machine in WW2, did you?  
What, you don't believe it's true?  No, I didn't 
think you would.  It was far easier for you to kick 
some shell-shocked G.I. in the nuts than to actually 
have to think... strange thing, coming from the 
"enlightened" crowd.  Well, thank God that society 
looks back on your movement and laughs.  It is now 
nothing more than good material for comedy skits and 
"long hair" jokes. Your mistake was a big one and you 
were as wrong as any group of people has ever been so 
don't even try to downplay it like you were misled by 
the evil bastard Nixon or who ever else you might 
look to to shoulder some of your much deserved blame.
Shame on you for making up excuses upon excuses about 
your victimization and never just finding the balls 
to say "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
