Every time I hear from one of these conservative whackjobs, I feel myself wince at the idea that their minds can come up with such wholly illogical and baseless, you'll pardon the expression, SHIT.
Anyone who criticizes Bush's Iraq policy is unpatriotic.
Protesting warrantless spying on Americans gives aid and comfort to the enemy
People who mourn the loss of their loved ones due to the terrorist attacks of 2001 are inauthentic and looking for a payday. This last point is so outrageous and insulting to our intelligence that it deserves neither the effort nor dignity of a response.
I used to think there were certain things you couldn't possibly make a living from in this country. Clearly I was naive. You CAN apparently live off your good looks (see America's Next Top Model or the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition). You CAN apparently make a living spouting nonsense and drivel that pleases the reactionary among us (Rush Limbaugh, Ms. Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, etc).
You CAN it would seem make a living being nothing more than what you are all day (see Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Bobby Brown), which is essentially nothing much. And the sheer volume of filth and stupidity can and does fill hundreds and hundreds of pages and lines shelves at your local Borders or Barnes & Noble. We need to stop making people like this rich. If there is a sin of post modern society, it's giving our well-earned disposable income to complete and utterly depraved sickies like this. I believe Jesus called it "giving what is holy to dogs." If we quit doing that, we might actually be able to do things like pay down the national debt and invest in sensible things like, oh I don't know, EDUCATION, HEALTH CARE, GOOD JOBS AND SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS.
You know...
Minor stuff.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
219 Democrats and one Republican join in favor of the legislation, which passed by a narrow margin
The survivor and author is upset about comparisons some on the right are making to genocide
