[Read the article: The president's escalating war rhetoric on Iran]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I was thinking the same thing. I mean, what the hell is this supposed to be:
Let's sacrifice all the Non Muslims
Then all the raving mobs and ayatollahs will love us.
A joke? A bitterly sarcastic musing? A parody of femimexilibrul thinking? Auto-generated text for avoiding spam filters? Some barely-literate freeper tard who thinks he just made a killer point?
There's just no way to tell!
Let's sacrifice all the Anonymous comments.

[Read the article: The president's escalating war rhetoric on Iran]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The writers and commentators, writing about the Bush White house, do nothing but whine and complain. It reminds me of growing up with my sisters and brothers being trapped in a car on a cross country trip in the middle of the summer.
I assume your sisters and brothers dropped bombs on thousands of civilians, threw out habeas corpus, and instituted torture programs? Because otherwise, it comes across like you are more worried about "whining" than the real-world impact of the policies we've voted for and paid for with our tax dollars.
It was a strategy. If you don’t like it tough, get over it quit whining. It is done. We are going to be there for 20 years.
Immoral and unconstitutional policies can never be reversed. Is that right?
We are not going to attack Iran, we don’t need their oil.
Really. Tell it to the PNACers who are running the government.
As a pragmatist there is not much we can do to stop Bush from attacking Iran. It won’t happen because Bush is a strategic thinker, a history buff, and attacking Iran now doesn’t make any sense.
If Bush was a strategic thinker and a history buff, we wouldn't have gone into Iraq either. You really think slaughtering people who did nothing to you is "strategic"?
If Bush knew shit for history, ALL his policies would be different, economic, diplomatic, defense, civil rights.
You're just talking out of your ass. "Oooooh, quit WHINING everyone!"
You'll be "whining" if they continue to go through with these retarded policies, I guarantee.

Kay Griggs
[Read the article: Forcing Larry Craig's resignation while embracing David Vitter]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Briefly, Griggs alleges that many high ranking elected officials are controlled from behind the scenes, by an invisble hand with evidence of morally (sexually) deviant behaviour. This evidence would frequently involve acts caught on video, and be used to blackmail those individuals to get them to act in ways that those invisible hands desire.
J. Edgar, that dress-wearer who blackmailed the hell out of other dress-wearers, risen from the grave!
I'm reminded of rumors that Skull & Bones initiates are supposed to recount all their sexual history, supposedly for blackmail later.
On one hand, Grigg's story seems over-the-top, but on the other, is there any reason to think that Washington isn't rife with sexual blackmail? It's certainly rife with corruption of all other kinds.
Dating tips for politicians:
If you see a personal ad for "a very sexual black male", don't call him!
Also: "CIA" doesn't stand for "Christian Introvert Asian".

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Democrats have fewer behavioral standards which happily(?) results in fewer moral conundrums. I'd venture to say that the only sexual or relational taboo Democrats have is pedophilia, and I'll bet if Hilary Clinton were interested in underage girls, that would be OK too.
So why doesn't your wildly enthusiastic approval of Republican moral standards not cover torture, indiscriminate bombing of civilian areas, the use of land mines, possible pre-emptive nuclear strikes, illegal rendition programs, violation of countless laws and dereliction of duty, the use of white phosphorous in an offensive capacity, giving weapons and guns to known terrorists who happen to be fighting some government we don't like, misappropriating tax dollars for the largest pork handout in world history, ruining the economy by accumulating around $10 trillion in debt (only around $1 trillion was spent on the war...)
I think the only moral standards you care about involve genitals.
If some little kids lose their legs to land mines, that's ok, as long as it makes the wimps feel safe. Real fuckin' moral.
Or maybe it's the 'pre-emption' that makes immoral things moral in your mind... "I only sexually assaulted that man because otherwise he would have sexually assaulted me first, your honor."

[Read the article: Warrantless surveillance and the new Coretta Scott King disclosures]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You can't really be that moronic. It's because the Soviets never attacked our homeland.
NEITHER DID IRAQ, RETARD!
If the Soviets had ever launched an attack directly at us the world would have changed just as it did on 9/11.
The world didn't change. Your moron brain changed. You lost your shit. You're scared to death. You would be gladly gang-probed by TSA agents 'til your heart attack (that will certainly come before a terrorist attack on you) if they said it was necessary, and you'd think them for it.
The world didn't change.
The rest of us are still here, where the hell are you?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]You truly are as dumb as a box of rocks, and my apologies to rocks as they are smarter than you.
At least inanimate objects don't actively and enthusiastically spout statements so contrary to fact and reason they could only be described as 'anti-logic.'
Neocons aren't illogical, they're anti-logical. If you make a rational argument, they accuse you of being a pussy, they think rationality is for effete Ivory tower-dwellers, real men just drop bombs.
It is the same mentality that was so prevalent in (particularly Italian) fascism, an absolutest, post-relativistic antipathy for reason and justice, a primal thrust towards unmoored action united with a pre-rational hatred of rationality.
"Arguments are for wimps. Plans are for wimps. Reason is for wimps. Facts are for wimps. We're men. That's why we have to keep telling it to ourselves and everyone else."
