Get Your War On

Thanks, both of you. I did write it myself. I was expecting some snide remarks after writing that, but thankfully people are being gracious.

I really do think that this country has been raped, the virginity of its security, safety, friendship, and socioeconomic status have been stolen. And I actually don't blame the terrorists.

I blame partisan bickering, chaos in the parties, and idiot after idiot vying for the title of president. I think for well over 40 years we've been settling for second best with our candidates, and it's not even Americans in general who end up pulling these losers out of congress and wherever else they dig them up. The democrats have become scattered accross the issues, while the republicans have turned into a party full of christian right pandering and bent wills. Few people take a stand anymore, and when they do, they become cement. Everyone stares interest groups right in the eye and says "okay, sure, why not?" while our country goes off to fight everyone else's battles.

Once, our military stood for might and solidarity in the face of perverse artifacts of the world. It stood up for the little guy and humbled the dictator. When we were attacked, we sought vengance. When others were being pushed around, we offered, not forced, our help. There was a time that every good nation both feared and loved us.

The statue standing in the waters outside of New York is a reminder of who we once were. Even the French offered support to this great nation, because we stood for things even they had no clue about. We encouraged liberties, and from the very beginning, we were a nation of improvement. We started out white men with a dream of freedom, and became a nation of color and variety, a place you could go to find a little bit of everywhere.

But now we are afraid of everyone.

We've gone from the greatest nation in the world, to a xenophobic, barbarian culture. Justice is not simply found in the death of a leader, but in the healing of the nation we battle. Justice is not found in a war where the warriors hate eachother. Respect and honor are needed for a just war, and the last time we had that was somwehere around 1942.

War isn't pretty, war isn't fun, war isn't something to be sought, but war is an answer.

We're just answering the wrong question.

She is a right cunt.

Middle-eastern roots != terrorism.

I'd be more worried about the guys who look like me, but with fewer teeth, a wifebeater, and a large truck.

Then again, Michael Moore is a dick too, so everyone's got someone to hate!

No I'm not a racist, but as I've pointed out before there's a reason we're not on the look out for Quaker suicide bombers. That doesn't mean I think all Middle Easterners are terrorists, but it does make sense to consider background or nation of origin when you decide whether or not to let someone into the country or board a plane if a certain set of other criteria is met.

This isn't unusual, long before Sept. 11 if you met X amount of criteria (your ticket was bought in cash, you bought a one-way ticket, you were from certain Middle Eastern nations) you were flagged. The Middle Eastern qualification I believe was challenged enough by the same "oh you're not a racist are you" oriented lawyers to stop airports from barring people for this reason. This is why the 9-11 hijackers weren't stopped.

A lot of people who immigrate to this country from the Middle East are trying to escape fundamentalist violence, and I'm sure they understand being scrutinized.

How many people complaining about this "racism" against Middle Easterners are from the Middle East? How many have first hand account from Middle Eastern immigrants who think the policy of our airports and immigration bodies are incorrect?

Trotting out the racism card when you're dealing with national security is irresponsible. If someone has to be questioned because they have an Egyptian passport to reduce the chances that a nuclear bomb is snuck into the United States, then that seems like a reasonable trade off.

If you do go through a security check internally in the United States at airports it's less of a hassle than going through customs. It's about fucking time to let this drop don't you think?

The only voting problem you had is that pot smoking hippies forget to vote, and self-hating liberals are too dizzy from blood loss induced by self-flagellation to make it to their polling place.

Oh yeah and BLACK PEOPLE are on the whole TOO DUMB to READ AND WORK BALLOTS which require at most a THIRD GRADE EDUCATION.

But no, I'm not racist.

Turns out makk isn't as prescient as we'd thought.

Hell yeah, that and 'my new fighting technique is unstoppable' are fucking hilarious.

Most of what you said about people of mid-eastern origin makes since. But the comment above seems a little on the prejudice side.

Get Your War On

It's only as prejudiced as the comments Democratic pundits have been making about how we systemmatically disenfranchise black voters. "How?" you ask. "Well the ballot takes a third grade education and that's unfair because..er um"

Can someone give me a better argument than this to back up your repeated claims that "the system" somehow stops black voters from voting? One that isn't completely based on racist assumptions? You're going to have a hard time since the premise itself is racist. You're not interested in protecting the right of the uneducated poor to vote, just the uneducated poor who are also black. I wonder why.

I hope this doesn't give anyone some bad ideas!

I can't say I think it's anywhere near the funniest thing on Comedy Central.

I used to like it a lot more, but Stewart started to get repetitive, and that just isn't funny to me.

Bush: "Wait, it doesn't feel right yet."

Cheney: "Almost got it. Wait a minute..." *spurt* "Awww yeah."

Bush: "I love you Dick!"

Gah! He edited the comic again! He's almost as much of a cheat as Bush!

We unfairly asked 3 million people to vote legally in this election predicated on their personal political beliefs. Talk about cheating.
