I don't have to tell anyone on this forum the significance of this holiday weekend. While there are those who see it as little more than the gateway to their summer season, I have uncovered something even more repulsive: several Chapter Presidents of The Council on American-Islamic Relations have called the propriety of Memorial Day into question this week, openly asking whether Fallen U.S. Troops, who in their view died in an illegal and oppressive invasion on the behalf of a nation ultimately founded upon violence, white supremacy, and racial inequality, truly merit commemoration and remembrance.

What say you, RP Nation? If given the opportunity, what would you say to these individuals in response to their questioning? Please keep it clean and respectful, but be honest!

I won't delete them. This is mind-blowing. Can't we please send these pissheads to whatever "good nation" they choose if they are so unhappy here?

To CAIR: please leave the United States as soon as possible. If you can't understand American history and society, we don't need your sorry butt polluting our nation. I'm sure ISIS will be happy to use you as a human shield.

From the Declaration of Independence, though not a legal document per se, but still one of our most powerful and well known:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"

"All men are created equal"

Not sure where White Supremacy comes in to that. Sounds to me like Thomas Jefferson said all men were created equal. As a matter of fact, I believe that is a near direct quote (tense adjusted).

As for Memorial Day, and its supposed ties to specific wars. CAIR seems not to understand that soldiers are not politicians. We do not choose our wars, in the traditional way. They erupt, and honoring a fallen solider is about their sacrifice for their nation, not for their political view, or where they served. A great many of us dislike political climate(s), but that doesn't mean we can choose not to do what needs to be done. Those who came before did just that, some paying the ultimate price.

They deserve honor because they sacrificed everything, so that CAIR can say these vile things about them. They rest silently now, while others like us, scream at our monitors, foaming, wishing we could strangle them, but knowing it is their Right to say these horrible things, on this upcoming sacred day.

#^%#$^ CAIR. They can rot in hell for their views. Our Fallen gave all so they could be here saying this crap. $#&! them, for not being decent for just one weekend.
