My, how far we have fallen, with an administration that parlays the incessant fear of its supporters into increased authoritativeness [sic] to the point where he now resembles the very despot we fought in our war of independence.

For Christmas, President Bush sent me and everyone in my unit a lovely red coat. He also told us that we can stay in any house we want, and make the civilians who live there buy us food and do our laundry for us.

Right after we take their guns away, of course. Civilians don't need them. Someone could get hurt, you know.

And his supporters bellow, as they cower under their beds: "Here's our liberties, just spare us from death!"

It's a good thing we got those guns, or they'd have more options than just begging.

These blowhards pretend they are macho even as they piddle on themselves in abject terror from every "boo!" that comes out of Osama Bin Laden's mouth.

It turns out that the "boo!" in question was either stated under harsh interrogation tactics in a secret CIA prison, or collected by way of a warrantless wiretap. Regardless, Bin Laden's lawyer has asked that we stop attributing this libelous word to him, or he may press charges for defamation of character.

They like to speak about how tough they are, even though they send others to fight their battles and couldn't last a day in places like Iraq, or Sudan, or the El Salvador of my youth, or any other war-torn nation....

You're right! Except for the fact that I've been hunting terrorists from the Philippines to Iraq, and somehow made it more than 24 hours. (Although for the record I did duck under my bed once during a mortar attack, and nearly piddled myself in abject terror)

The breathtaking cowardice of the 101st Fighting Keyboardists knows no bounds.

Kos, you have shown me the light! I always thought that the liberal tendency to avoid dealing with our enemies was out of moral weakness and indecision. Now that you mention it, though, I guess sometimes tackling problems head on is the cowardly way out. Your bold words have inspired me to go find some a nice mound of sand to stick my head in, and valiantly hope that the Muslim extremists kill me last.

"Who? I've never heard of this guy." Me either but that does explain WHY the Dims are so sucessful at losing elections:-)

The more mainstream Kos gets, the better they'll get at losing elections.

Go Kos go!

The breathtaking cowardice of the 101st Fighting Keyboardists knows no bounds. They hide behind the American flag and our genuinely brave men and women in uniform. It's bad enough that they wouldn't deign to join the boots in the ground in Iraq. But now they make a mockery of our Constitution, for the very values that motivated our Founding Fathers to put their lives on the line to combat the unchecked powers of the British monarchy.

This little punk doen't know the first thing about military service and much less about the fact that most military bloggers are FAR, FAR more identifiable as conservatives than otherwise and make up a huge part of the population on FR. Get it in your head you scum. The military loathes you. You'll answer to me if I ever catch you blaspheming the great numbers of the 101st face-to-face!

Moulitsas's statement drew a positive response from his readers, some of whom see a useful political strategy in it. "Oooo, I LIKE this meme!" one wrote:

Wow. Such insightful commentary. Smacks of Voltaire.

The Left is so boringly stupid that their biggest political attack is to always accuse the republicans of being what the Democrats truly are.

With Monicagate "Ken Starr was the sleazy pervert." Not Clinton

With Iraq it was "Bush lied." But we know who the ruined Legacy Impeached Liar is.

Now Republicans are "cowards."

But the truth is the Republicans are the Soldiers fighting this war. Meanwhile what are the Left busy with? Paranoid hysterical crapheaded fits about a war they deeply fear will suck them in with a draft.

So who are the cowards? The answer is obviously the Left.

Next those boring pencildick pea brains will accuse Republicans of be unpatriotic, just watch.

While at a deer camp, I got into a heated argument with a vocal liberal

We don't have any liberals at our deer camp.

Shhhhh.

I like the idea that any future attacks will lessen the liberal population.

Markos Moulitsas just got off the banana boat. He wasn't even born here. His ethnically Greek family immigrated from some Central American pit
