It's Not About Homosexuality, It's About Lies
[Read the article: Porn free]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's not my fault. It's not the fault of the big, bad blogosphere. You lied about Columbia University. You fabricated nonsense about people being "anti-military" there. You lie for notoriety. You like attention. You did porn because you like attention. You lied about Columbia and about "liberals" because you knew it would get attention from other notoriety-seeking people who spend their days manufacturing controversy, spinning lies and pointing fingers because it fulfills their need for attention.
Guys like you get "outed" all the time simply because sooner or later, your lies catch up with you.
It's not about being gay. It's about being a liar. Like all the liars who came before you who got also got caught, you're trying to blame someone else.. you're trying to BE someone else... because you just can't stop lying.
You'll never stop lying. All the therapy in the world can't help you because you are seething with hatred for yourself and you will not admit it, therefore you will always be compelled to project your pathetic hatred onto others.
Some people feel sorry for you because you're so pathetic. But I don't. You've chosen to harm other people. You've made your choices, now deal with it.
Liar.

He's Their President
[Read the article: The Army is ordering injured troops to go to Iraq]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The military voted overwhelmingly for Bush in 2004.
They had a chance to vote in a Vietnam War veteran, but they didn't.
They got what they voted for.
A pretend military pilot, a pretend cowboy, a pretend president.
If the rest of us have to live with the result of military votes, then why shouldn't the military? We told them. Michael Moore, reviled by the military, showed the military and everyone else who and what Bush was in living color; Moore showed what is really happening in Iraq and why. And he showed how military recruiters seek out the kids with the least chance in life. It was all there for everyone to see. All you had to do was look at it.
I'm no genius and I could see through Bush's playacting and Rove's marketing techniques. Bush is a man who has cheated all of his life. He let 9/11 happen. He did not act on warnings. He let bin Laden get away. He deliberately set about tying 9/11 to Iraq, but in sneaky language, so he could later say "Oh no, I never said Saddam was responsible for 9/11."
This reminds me of workers who cry because they're being mistreated by management, yet they repeatedly vote down union representation, they vote for candidates who are against minimum wage increases and who are for deregulating workplaces.
I paid attention during the 2004 election campaigns. It's not my fault that the military didn't.
Deal with it, guys. The rest of us have to -- so do you.

Keep Your Sarcasm, Sergeant Blotter, For the Next War
[Read the article: The Army is ordering injured troops to go to Iraq]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]They" voted for Bush.
"They" got him.
'kay?
Don't give me this boo-hoo-hoo "The military is so different from everyone else because they can get hurt." We can all get hurt and we all need to use our heads. And we all need to live with the consequences of our actions. If you -- or THEY or ANYBODY -- voted for Bush, they got him.
They voted for ENDLESS WAR. There was no exit strategy. Ever. Did the military see an exit strategy? Nope. Because it was never there. I repeatedly heard military voters say they were voting for Bush "so we can finish the job in Iraq." Did they ever ask Bush how he intended to leave Iraq, after no WMDs were found, after Saddam was captured, after elections were held over there? No? Too bad. It would have been a good question to pay attention to, instead of reviling the Vietnam COMBAT VETERAN that the military refused to vote for. By 2004, everyone knew Bush had no plan to leave Iraq. And they knew Bush was standing by Rumsfeld.
Yes, Sergeant Blotter, people have to take responsibility for their own actions. We tried to warn people repeatedly and we were told we are traitors, that we are unpatriotic, that we are supporters of the people who knocked down the Trade Center. We weren't any of those things, we were people who used our heads for 5 minutes, who thought things though instead of listening to the sloganeering of smug, highly-paid rightwing entertainers and pundits. We warned and warned and warned and "they" who voted for Bush didn't listen; they knew better; now they're crashing and there isn't a damn thing most of us can do about it. We tried-- we tried when it mattered, before the war-- and we were demonized. We were only trying to help then.
But you can't stop people from doing what they want to do. You can put seatbelts in cars, but you can't make people wear them. When the crash comes, the result is based on, among other things, what you did before the wreck happened.
