Let’s be honest. You don’t give a fuck about the war
Delawareans don’t give a fuck about the war, so it makes perfect sense that Mike Castle and Tom Carper don’t give a fuck about it. Why should they get ahead of the voters?
Regular readers may have noticed that my view of the war has changed over the last few months. Right now I don’t give a fuck about it. I’m not going to try and leverage my position as a speck on the ass of a flea to try and get some sanity into our Iraq war policies. No more calls to Castle’s office. No more meetings with department store mannequins dressed as Senators. No more lit drops.
Hey troops. I support you – in a Republican sort of way starting now. (That is my public stance. My private stance is just like your private stance. “Hey troops – tough luck suckers. Next time crack a book in school.)
Instead of getting all worked up, I’m just going to try and make sure that people close to me don’t get their heads filled up some idiotic nonsense about “serving their country” or “being all they can be” and thereby put themselves at the disposal of some bloodthirsty corporations.
As for me, the peace movement begins (and ends) at home.
I agree with you, Jason. Nobody cares because there is no sacrifice from most of us. Yeah, troops are over there and we know that they, and their families, are sacrificing, but us? Hell, Bush might be the first leader in the history of the world to implement tax cuts during “wartime”. And that’s just one of the many payoffs to garner our complicity.
One point though – I sense your snark, but an awful lot of the volunteer force is over there so that they can “crack open a book”; but sadly, I have a suspicion that Bu$hCo will try to take that perk away from them too.
It is my Republ,ican style of supporting the troops. I guess I should just keep the second part to myself like everyone else.
We have the most educated military in the history of the world. Get out of your Vietnam military model thinking.
Some people still love this country enough to defend it.
what about you?
Yes
So we are both supporting the troops in a Republican sort of way.
Rock on Brother.
David, of course, is scheduled to go to Iraq. So he’s not exactly the target I’d choose to make my point.
He’s that David.
I’m sorry to hear you are going, and saddened that you think you are going to defend the country.
Good luck.
“Some people still love this country enough to defend it.”
What a fucking bullshit, aloof statement. Anyway, keep yourself safe.
why don’t you defend it while driving an RV instead David, that is the method many Candidates feel is appropriate.
