Hey, we seem to be posting at the same time.

Am I allowed to be offended? Or do the capitalists want a monopoly on that, too?

quote:
And the country STILL isn't unified in the resolve that this war in Afghanistan, and possibly other parts of the Middle East, is necessary.

I wonder if any Americans in December 1941 were saying "Gee, maybe the Imperial Japanese are RIGHT..."

What kind of utter dickheads can say that, in a nation that's suffered such a devastating unprovoked attack, especially when our nation so clearly stands for peace and stability in the world?

And yet incredibly, there actually are sympathetic leftists who say these absurd things. How about some appropriate sympathy for the people of your own homeland, who suffered the attack and the deep economic repercussions?

It scares me, the lack of will to defend the United States, by some of its citizens, despite the clear rightness of our actions, and the clear source of the threat.
Damn, Dave. And I was starting to like you.

How dare you?

I suppose I should take heart. Retreating to that kind of cowardly, fascist logic is a sign that you're starting to waver in your convictions. I'm disappointed, though. You should know better than to think that such a tactic would influence anyone with an IQ over 80.

Still not unified in our resolve to drop bombs on little girls just so the Shrub can build a pipeline? Damn straight we're not.

And your implication that I sympathize with the terrorists is absolutely craven, and you know it. Somebody killed a few thousand people, and you know perfectly fucking well that there isn't a real American alive that can sit still for that. We just want to go after the real terrorists. We aren't interested in running in whatever direction the bastards that probably caused the whole thing want to point us.

I will defend my nation to my dying breath. I'll start by defending it from people like the Shrub, and from you.

I don't remember if you ever told us what country you live in, Dave, but clearly you haven't the slightest clue of what America is really about. You probably think you do, but I think you read the same brochures that the Shrub did before he and his little fraternity decided to take over. You missed the fine print.

We are not suckers.

We are not cowards.

We will not go along.

We will not watch what we say.

We will not surrender our will.

We will not look the other way.

This is my country. It's a beautiful place. It's built on a foundation of Freedom and Justice for All. It is the most precious thing in the world to me, and you just can't have it. I'm sorry, I know how much guys like you would love to turn America into one big shopping mall where you pay the breathe the air and you pay to take a piss and you pay for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but it isn't gonna happen. Maybe if whatever country you belong to had ever had a Founding Father that declared in bold, unwavering handwriting that all of these rights are inalienable and self-evident, you'd know what I'm talking about, but clearly you don't.

I'm disappointed, Dave. I expected better from you.
