In my nightmares, the helicopters still come out of a dark sky, two black spots barely visible against the backdrop of night.
Their swirling blades grow louder until they finally touch down on earth and fall silent. They look like giant steel bugs from another planet, bulbous robots with eyes of glass coming to take away their prey.
Yes... Hillary Clinton is visiting another small-town in Indiana that most people have ever heard of.
We've all heard about the bloody costs of this Democrat Civil War. We see the Victimhood of blacks, women and gays, the Not-Racist Race-Baiting, and the Not-Sexism Sexism splashed across out TV screens daily.
HIllary and Obama's reckless war of choice have cost the American Democrats hundreds of millions of dollars, with no end in sight. Dollars that could be better spent at home, sending a poor kid to college, providing healthcare insurance for a single mother's children, or helping a union factory worker pay for a tank of gas while heading to his fishing cottage.
The price Democrats are paying is so much costlier than the mere monetary expense or loss of reputation. Many Liberals will come home from the Democrat Civil War with severe Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. They will refuse to vote for EITHER candidate, in the end. They will need YEARS of therapy to recover from it, at taxpayer expense.
COSTS:
We all know that Democrats have spent nearly $350 million dollars SO FAR in this futile War, but this ignores the ancillary economics costs that the War is causing.
But the TRUE number is far more staggering. and it's effects far-reaching.
We decided to dig deeper into this morass and what we have discovered, after months of chasing often deliberately obscured accounts, is that in fact this Democrat misadventure will cost America - just America -a conservatively estimated $3 BILLION. This figure takes into account the monies being spent by non-campaign organizations in "Support" of thier chosen candidates, the throbbing legs of the liberal media, and the lost work time of liberals typing away endlessly on blogs.
And Canadian Citizens will again be forced to bear the caretaking costs of the American liberal, as they yet again free the "Supression" south of the Border, when they lose another election in November.
And in doing so, we have achieved something much greater than arriving at an unimaginable figure: by describing the process, by detailing individual costs, by soberly listing the consequences of short-sighted budget decisions, we have produced a picture of comprehensive obfuscation and bad faith whose power comes from its roots in bald fact.
Some of the discoveries we have heard before, others we may have had a hunch about, but others are completely new - and together, placed in context, their impact is staggering. There will be few who do not think that whatever the reasons for going to war, its progression has been morally disquieting; following the money turns out to be a brilliant way of getting at exactly why that is.
DEMOCRAT CIVIL WAR PROFITEERING:
If you follow the money, and where it's going, the results are disquieting, to say the least. DEMOCRAT CIVIL WAR PROFITEERS, a virtual army of "Consultants" are making MILLIONS from this, living in a world of Mansions, Private Jets, and Limousines, paid for by the likes of a single mother in Indiana who sends $25 to Obama.
Consultants like Ickes and Jordan, and thier "Thunder Road, LLC" consulting group, which already sucks in millions in fees from the Democrat "527's" for "Organizing" and "Co-ordination" of attacks on those "evil" Republicans, pocketing enough to pay for thier DC mansions for a decade.
From fund-raisers who get to keep a percentage of what they raise as a "Fee", to Consultants pocketing a percentage of what they spend, to SUPER-DELEGATES licking thier chops at the ever-climbing sale price of thier Super-Vote, the Democrat War Profitteers are everywhere, and they have no desire to see this end, anytime soon.
And don't forget the Liberal Media types, taking in MILLIONS in full-price advertising.
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is being supported by an assortment of Uber-Rich American and foriegn "liberals", whose goal is nothing less than the Socialist Corporate control of America, who expect a return, IN SPADES, for the investments they have already made in her.
IN CONCLUSION:
Obama has said, 'I'm not against war - I'm just against stupid wars.' And I feel very much the same way.
The longer this DEMOCRAT CIVIL WAR continues, the greater the chance are that the next President of the United States will be John McCain.
VIVA LA CONVENTION RIOT!!
Have fun! And don't get sick from all the popcorn!
Very well written, and funny. But spell-check is our friend.
So is $3 billion too much to pay to keep Hussein out of the White House? To keep She Who Must Not Be Named out of the White House?
Like a cruise missile, in the end it's a bargain. They would have cost us a lot more than that, and not just in dollars.
Yeah, yeah... I did forget that...
QUAGMIRE!
They should withdraw the troops to “Quick-Reaction Zones” around the Denver Convention Center.
