Uh, I must have missed something. Just when did this happen?
And don't forget the public education system.
"Winter is coming
Time to be like the snow fox and blend in when necessary. Your duty is to survive."
I shall become the snow fox.
Can you see me here...
No here..
Ah ha, thought not. If I become the snow fox, am I required to read navel-gazing prose posted by third rate poets? The Snow Fox Wants To Know...
Allow me an illustration:
My wife is a registered nurse. It took her four years to get through school. Obviously, I had to support her as much as I could in her long and challenging course of study.
Now, imagine if I said, I support my wife, but I don't support her being a nurse," and I spent all my time cheering on people who criticized her for her studies, and did wheatever I could to make her studies more difficult. Imagine if I (in a way similar to the unanimous accalim on DU for Dick Durbin) celebrated a person who publically stated that she was studying to be a nurse so she could do mercy killings? What if (like Code Pink and so many other activists) I claimed to care for her very much but also referred to her as a killer?
How supportive would she think I was?
Wouldn't I need some sort of prosthetic supporter for my wedding tackle after she (with perfect justification) kicked me in the crotch until her leg tired out?
And the "support the troops but not the war" thing is so simplistic to boot. One leftist asked me "Does that mean supporting everything they do?" They either are very dumb or claim to be, believeing that supporting Iraqi liberation means you support Abu Ghraib, and if you supported the defense of South Vietnam you also supported My Lai. Poppycock.
The other day there was a link in the Freeper Canteen to a page discussing the "Staged Moon Landings" conspiracy theory. Although there are a million reasons to disbelieve the whackos who say we didn't land there, I was struck by the fact that they continue to claim we weren't sending the craft beyond Earth orbit. They say the government had to send a real crew up so there'd be a real splashdown for the Navy guys to witness, but there was no travel to the moon and the landing footage was pre-taped. They maintain this even though amateur astronomers could track the ships during their inter-orbit burns with their telescopes. One was preparing to film one of Apollo 13's burns and caught the service module explosion on tape.
But there are still people who keep peddling this crap, like the guy Buzz Aldrin punched out a few years back (Go Buzz!) so why should the DUmmies change their tune because some of the most liberal newspapers in the country found that Bush really won Florida, or because stealing Ohio would have required that hundreds of Democrat poll watchers were in on the job? If Apollo 13 really blowing up in transit to the moon doesn't really mean we went to the moon, why should GWB really winning an election mean he really won an election? Why shouldn't the completely dubious and completely useless Downing Street Memo be the most important piece of paper ever produced?
Yeah, with a Viking Kitty head where the SS Death's Head would usually go!
Actually, the Wermacht and Luftwaffe uniforms were the coolest ones.
It just occurred to me that the proof they don't "support the troops" is that in DUmmieland you never see a purely positive, pro-military, pro-veterans thread like you do here on FR all the time.
"Dummie as cereal killer."
Stop it Charles, right now. I am laughing so hard at your comments I am crying.
Pray for W and Our Amazing Troops
LOL! I'd love to see the visual of that.
