  Winning the War at Home

  Winning the War at Home - sure is easier than fighting people in other countries who shoot back, isn't it? With the rising cost of gas and falling tax revenues, doesn't it make more sense to take all that hardware back home and put it to good use on our own population? We need to keep the defense dollars flowing, but we need to use our resources more effectively.

  A case in point is the recent use of 50 bullets by New York City Police to kill an unarmed bridgroom. One Hellfire missile could have done the job without any of the mess and racial outrage that has insued because that would have been a "clean" kill and more importantly, using one of those Hellfire missiles is much better for the defense economy rather than those cheap and low tech bullets. Plus you wouldn't have the surviviors who say bad things about the police officers who shot them and were kind enough not to finish them off.

  Americans not only like war, they LOVE it, and that is precisely why we should give them more of what they want, but watching it on television really isn't enough. It doesn't get any better or more exciting than when you have missiles, bombs and gunfire going off in your own neighborhoods and who can resist the temptation to walk right through bloodstained sidewalks and streets because as long as you are still alive and unwounded, you are certainly a winner and a survivor!

  Does it get any better than that?

  Vote for War! Elect Obama, Clinton or McCain and get your war on at home! When half the population cannot afford gas, food or utilities, you will be looking forward to armoured personnel carriers on every street corner protecting you from your fellow Americans who have even less than you do.

  Think of the money we will save not having to send people half way around the world to kill people we don't value. America is filled with them types. Military advisors on the network news can leasd us in our fight against those who are contrary to the new order or are profitable targets for ideological and economic reasons.

  It will be fun. Just like Grand Theft Auto with General Petrayus as the enforcer with Global Hawks armed with Hellfire missles.

  Serpentine THAT!

  Booyah!
