    That's the sickness that gnaws at America's heart. That going into the military, supporting the military, that big bloated Wackenhutts (read your Smedley Butler, please) is somehow serving AMERICA.

    Too many people are going into the military? That's the sickness?

    The sickness gnawing at America's heart is Distraction. As in, the hawks and right wingers who do photo-ops with soldiers are the ones supporting the military, whereas the Democrats want to abandon the soldiers just when we're turning the corner, and make all their sacrifices in vain.

    As in, here's a 'reasonable' bit of sophistry about why the President actually should be a Dictator. How can you argue with reason?

    As in, here's another one about how torture really isn't all that bad, and why we should go ahead and do it. Unless you're one of the ones who just want to give them therapy.

    As in, the Democrats have all been taken over by the Far Left Wing and are under the iron fist of MoveOn and CodePink.

    As in, is Scott McClellan a traitor, a weasel, or a converted truth-teller?

    As in, Obama's flag pin, Hillary's laugh: Discuss. Loudly. Over and over again.

    As in, Al Jazeera: Threat or Menace?

    As in, 9/11 was plotted and carried out by the government to consolidate their power, al Qaeda is just a fiction created by the government, or half a dozen other distractions we contribute to the fray. If you don't believe us, you must be one of Them.

    We're the cats.

    They've got the string, the flashlight, and the catnip. And they can keep it up a lot longer than we can.
