Dare I say it?

I've been reading some right-wing blogs and I notice that whenever they talk about us liberals they deride or patriotism because "THE NATION IS AT WAR....." and all of us cowardly, unpatriotic,traitorous, commie-loving (no, really, they really say that on some blogs) leftist, Maoists, cheese-eating-surrender-monkeys, (usually under the code name "French") just won't "get on the winning team".

Well......I'm going to take the plunger here....

We're NOT AT WAR!

This Global War on Terror is rhetorical only. It is (or at least should be) an international cooperative effort through intelligence, law enforcement and special forces when necessary and appropriate, to identify, locate and detain would-be terrorists.

Oh yeah, and while I'm at it....Iraq is not, was not and never will be part of the global terror network called Al Queda....

Conservatives get this straight...

the pResident NEVER asked for a declaration of war.

there is NO SOVEREIGN NATION threatening to attack us, that sponsored the attack on us, or outwardly, blatantly harbors the terrorists.

the pResident never once asked us, as a nation, to make a single sacrifice, to accept a tax increase to pay for his "war" which is really faux military interventionism........

So all this Uber-Patriotism is because, you, my good conservative friends, drank the kool-aid....

or, to put it another way......

Not only did you inhale the smoke that Bush blew at you, you drank the water from the bong!


Badtux, the Snarky Penguin puts it in another way....

Courtesy of The Truffle, I find out that creepy Little Rickie Santorum of fetus fondling fame (and one-time senator from Pennsylvania) is making a movie about the danger that "radical Islam" poses to America.

So... does "radical Islam" have the world's best tanks, like Nazi Germany had? Or maybe "radical Islam" has thousands of nuclear-tipped missiles pointing at us, like the Soviet Union had? Or maybe "radical Islam" has dozens of battleships and aircraft carriers like Imperial Japan had?

Well?

Good distinction heh?
