Default Hello Everybody

I'm an old dog who's not new to Harley's but am to the HD Forum, I was introduced to it by a friend and thought i'd check it out, I'm a Marine who is no longer active but have a son who is and is fighting to keep us free, with it being 9/11 I'm declaring this remember your Towelhead day, As an American and as a Veteran I urge every American that encounters these terrorists that own gas stations,resturants and stores that when you walk into them you LEAVE and let everyone of your friends know where not to shop,It’s 911, Don’t forget your local towelhead as your going about your business today, remember these people don’t pay taxes, don’t pay utility bills, get whatever they can for free from the taxes we pay and then to add insult to injury They BLOW up our buildings and kill our troops trying to keep us safe, I’m an American, a former Marine and my son is Active duty Marine willing to give his life to keep America free and safe, don’t dishonor all the men and women that have lost their lives for us already by buying things from them or saying this is America and they are here because they don’t want to be in their own country, it really shows what kind of people they are, Their cowards, they attack defenseless buildings, they bury bombs so our troops will walk or roll over them and get killed, they use their own children and women to kill an American soldier because they know the odds are with them that we won’t shoot a women or child, would you as an American abandon your country to go live somewhere else, Just remember for every dollar you spend in these terrorists business there’s a good chance that a good portion of it is going back to their country to fund an attack that could kill my son or any other American, do your part as a responsible American, don’t find fault in our troops as you did to all the men that made it out of Vietnam, yes I remember, the returning troops were looked down on, they were spit on, they were denied jobs, they were said to be drug addicts, do this to your local Terrorist, give them free heroin and cocaine to destroy their minds, hell give them meth it works faster, if they have no money, are denied jobs and every time they walk down the street someone spits on them maybe they will go back to their own country. Have a great day and thank the next Solider you see for your Freedom and that they have kept this country safe for the last 8 years.
